It wasn't until the family took a shuttle to Luna to see Anya's Aunt in New Berlin at the age of eight, that she discovered the majesty of space flight. That first evening the family waited up, watching the slow rotation of earth and when it the time was right, David pointed out Schaffhausen. It was so small, not visible to the naked eye. It was a startling revelation. Her home city had held such history, so many stories. It boggled the girl's mind to think that a tiny speck of her vision could hold so much, and if that was the case, how much was also out there in the universe? The entire shuttle ride home, Anya made plans and set her resolve. She would see as much as she could.

Towards the end of her first year at the academy, she led a group of cadets on a hike. The objective was to work together and find a route out of the forest. Everyone expected Ziegler's team to be the first home, not because of Ziegler's skill as a leader, but more that one of the cadets in her team was a local to the area. Ignoring the advice and help of her classmates, Ziegler lead them on a long, arduous journey and finished hours after the other teams. Finally, after listening to the many complaints of her colleagues to their instructors, did Ziegler begin to understand the importance of integrating and working with others.

Captain Anya Ziegler was the commanding officer of the USS Cayuga in 2381. She had previously served under Captain Ives as executive officer on USS Theurgy and had been succeeded by Commander Nerina when Ziegler had gained her own command.

Biography

Childhood

Anya Ziegler was born to David and Lara Ziegler in 2343. From an early age she developed an appreciation for the ancient, it was difficult not to when you grew up amongst the decorated facades and baroque buildings with bay windows that dotted the medieval old town. Knowing the buildings around her held stories of their past, she attempted to learn them all, often bringing back books from the library to read with her father.

Lara, a concert musician by trade, attempted to impart her love of music onto her daughter often without success. Anya was more interested in the how and why they worked, rather than using them in the way her mother hoped. Eventually one did stick, and Anya continued in her piano lessons through to her late teens, mainly as appeasement.

It wasn't until the family took a shuttle to Luna to see Anya's Aunt in New Berlin at the age of eight, that she discovered the majesty of space flight. That first evening the family waited up, watching the slow rotation of earth and when it the time was right, David pointed out Schaffhausen. It was so small, not visible to the naked eye. It was a startling revelation. Her home city had held such history, so many stories. It boggled the girl's mind to think that a tiny speck of her vision could hold so much, and if that was the case, how much was also out there in the universe? The entire shuttle ride home, Anya made plans and set her resolve. She would see as much as she could.

Starfleet had come to her school previously, but the next time she listened with razor-sharp intent. Little did those officers know, that when they left that school in the north of Switzerland, they had helped set the rest of one questioning little girl's life.

Starfleet Academy

In 2361, Ziegler joined Starfleet Academy. She had set her eyes on the center chair and would do almost anything, often forgoing friendship and lovers to get there. By the end of her first semester, she had earned a reputation of being stuck up, unyielding and difficult to work with.

Towards the end of her first year at the Academy, she led a group of Cadets on a hike. The objective was to work together and find a route out of the forest. Everyone expected Ziegler's team to be the first home, not because of Ziegler's skill as a leader, but more that one of the Cadets in her team was a local to the area. Ignoring the advice and help of her classmates, Ziegler lead them on a long, arduous journey and finished hours after the other teams. Finally, after listening to the many complaints of her colleagues to their instructors, did Ziegler begin to understand the importance of integrating and working with others.

Throughout the rest of her time at the Academy, Anya excelled academically and worked hard at making friends. For her final two years, she dated fellow classmate James Donnelly.
