Dr. Chakwas was still young and naive. She wanted to travel the stars, treating the wounds of tough soldiers, but she quickly realized that real military life wasn't as romantic as she envisioned.

But she also realized that humanity needed the Alliance if they were going to expand through space. So after her service was up, she stayed on to do her part though the Alliance was largely dismissed.

That was until First Contact with the Turians in 2157 when the Alliance struck decisively to reclaim the captured colony of Shanxi. Dr. Chakwas served during the battle, treating the wounded soldiers.

She survived the war, and humanity suddenly found themselves part of a galactic community. The Alliance became earth's galactic representative, and Chakwas found a whole galaxy to explore and study.

Over the better part of two decades Dr. Chakwas took several courses and studied the biology of other races. She also continued to climb through the Alliance rank eventually earning the rank of Major.

But the Alliance experienced years of relative peace with other races, as they spread through the galaxy. Until the Skyllian Blitz of 2176 when Batarian pirates attacked the human colony of Elysium.

The Alliance assisted the colony in repelling the Batarian attack and rescuing the colony. Dr. Chakwas took part in the battle. Their actions thwarting the Batarian blitz became an Alliance legend.

Her dedication to the service, as well as her ability and knowledge, then earned Dr. Chakwas two tours with one of the most decorated Alliance Special Forces in the service, Captain David Anderson.

When Shepard was given command of the Normandy, Chakwas stayed on to watch over the crew, human and alien. Particularly Liara, who took up residence in the medbay, and was unused to military life.

When not restocking medigel and patching wounds, Chakwas occasionally treated Kaiden Alenko's migraines from his L2 implants, but most of her time was spent treating Joker's brittle bone disease.

Chakwas stayed aboard during Shepard's mission & the Battle of the Citadel. She was still aboard three months later when it was attacked by the Collectors, escaping in a lifepod as the ship crumbled.

Afterwards, Shepard's team was broken up and reassigned. Chakwas was stationed at the respected Mars Naval Medical Center but after spending so long on ships she could never feel at home on a planet.

In 2185, Chakwas was contacted by Cerberus to serve on the newly rebuilt Normandy SR2 along with Joker, and even Commander Shepard. She received an official leave of absence from her post and joined.

With no family in her life the Normandy was more like her home. The soldiers she treated either died or left to fight, on the Normandy she had Joker who'd always need treatment, giving her stability.

But staying aboard the Normandy, so long carries great risk. During Shepard's mission to stop the Collectors the Normandy was attacked and the crew was taken to the Collector Base, including Chakwas.

Shepard and his entire squad attacked the base to rescue the crew, arriving just in time to save Chakwas just before the Collectors melted her down into genetic material to feed into a reaper larva.

Chakwas is one of my favorite characters. I'm still sad she isn't a romance option.
