== Background == 
She was born in 303AE on the starship ScSS Pachacuti and raised on the First Frontier world of Polymya.
Asaji comes from the legendary Li Juan Family, they are especially well respected and influential in the First Frontier.
== Star Command Career == 
She went to the Star Command Academy on Awl majoring in piloting and minoring in operations in 319AE after attending a preparatory course and graduated valedictorian of her graduating class in 321AE. Her family helped her with her coursework, even going so far as to transfer away a tutor who was failing her. 
Her first assignment was Cargo Officer aboard Station Bellan Red. This was the traditional first assignment the family always went for, it was an easy assignment and led to 'outstanding' evaluations quickly, which raised their profile and often led to quick promotions and she gained a quick promotion to Ensign in 322AE. 
She was given access to a science team report from a cousin who worked for her grandfather, saying that Durma II was a world of "significant interest" and immediate investigation was recommended. She pushed hard to gain the assignment and led an archeological team here in 323AE, specifically doing so to show she had the 'scientific curiosity' required of senior officers. The dig uncovered an ancient Nostluhk outpost and her objective was accomplished. 
She was promoted to Corporal posted to the ScSS Yuri Gargarin as Night Watch Chief Pilot Officer in 325AE. When the Chief Pilot Officer retired she pushed hard to replace him, with help from her family, and was able to convince her Captain to allow her to leap frog the Assistant Chief Pilot Officer, who was 'only an NCO' into the role in 327AE. 
In late 328AE she politicked to become the Attaché of Commodore Tommaso Pollamero rather than become Chief Pilot Officer of an Alexander-MkII Class ship being sent into the Bregenna Expanse as part of Operation Open Water.
== Phoenix ==
In Syropha 329AE she saw the potential to further her career by associating herself with the Federated Territories Agreement and the ScSS Seraphic crew. She politicked her way to gaining a transfer to the ScSS Seraphic as Night Watch Commanding Officer.
Once aboard she was disappointed that she was not going to be involved in the Federated Territories Agreement, but did an interview with Jacques Summers which got her on the same programme as Hand Rahan IV. 
When the Cameron Syndicate invades the Itzamna System she helps find out that Xee Xar and the SSV Ustama Poorer has fled to Sor Lois.
