Vioxx

Commander Vioxx was the captain of the Romulan scout ship Tyvek, which was assigned to explore the Delta Quadrant. The Tyvek was lost to the Lucinda entity, but Vioxx and his officers were able to escape to a nearby habitable planet. They were nearly eaten by a family of the planet's inhabitants but were rescued by the USS Anomaly. Vioxx received orders from the Romulan High Command to have the Anomaly follow Lucinda but not tell Captain Reginald Bain or the crew about the actual threat. The Anomaly was able to deal with Lucinda. After this incident, though, Romulan High Command insisted that Vioxx and his officers stay aboard, so the Romulans would be more involved in the Anomaly's day-to-day operations. Vioxx was made the ship's first officer. (Bold Faced Lies [BG])

During the battle at the Neutral Zone against the combined Vulcan and Romulan fleets, Vioxx led Sub-Commander Remax and Sub-Lieutenant Zantak in stealing the Raceabout USS Silverwood to get aboard a Romulan warhawk. Once aboard, they incapacitated the crew, and Remax was able to determine that the Romulans aboard had been victims of mind melds. Vioxx took command of the warhawk and used it to help the Federation fleet in battle. (Live Long And Conquer [BG])

After hostilities with the Vulcans ended, Engineer Selex approached Vioxx with the idea that Commander Prosak had to be killed due to her RommaVulc allegiance. It was Vioxx's duty to kill her, since he was the ranking Romulan officer. Vioxx at first dismissed the idea, but after Sub-Commander Remax explained how it could possibly lead to all of them being sent back to the Empire and Vioxx receiving command of a warhawk, Vioxx said he would consider it. (Hard Sell [BG])

While the Anomaly was crashed on a planet in Red Borg space, Sarah of Brown took a liking to Vioxx and, using her Borg strength, had her way with him; although, the village elder, Jebediah of Brown believed that the reverse had occurred. (Living Off The Land [BG])

Vioxx and his officers, along with Prosak and Lieutenant Shelly Marsden traveled to a Romulan facility in the Yatooi Sector to get the scout ship Allegra, which was being given to the Anomaly to replace the destroyed USS Navigator. While they were there, Vice Admiral Negrek tasked the Anomaly officers with retrieving the Warhawk Zocor, which had been stolen by a group of Klingons led by Chynok, telling Vioxx that he would be given command of the Zocor if he was successful. Once the Zocor was retrieved, Negrek told Vioxx that he lied about Vioxx getting the Zocor, and the Anomaly officers took the Allegra back to their ship. (A Hawk In Hand [BG])

When it became apparent that Vioxx had no intention of following through with killing Prosak, Remax and Selex decided to take matters into their own hands. They attempted to booby-trap Prosak's quarters but were stopped by Vioxx, who said that Prosak was not to be killed. Remax considered that to be the end of it and unhappily followed Vioxx's order to clean Prosak's quarters. Selex, however, did not agree and later kicked Prosak down a Jefferies tube that sent her plummeting 25 decks. She was saved by Dr. Natalia Kasyov, who had joined with the ship's computer and was able to alter the gravity in the Jefferies tube to prevent Prosak's death. Vioxx had Selex arrested and put in the Anomaly's brig. Vioxx was put in command of the Anomaly when Bain was forced to turn himself over to the Breen and face trial. Rather than fight the Breen ships, as Lieutenant Commander Tovar wanted him to, Vioxx ordered the Anomaly to return to Federation space. Once there, Admiral Kristen Larkin ordered him to take the Anomaly back to the Breen outpost that the Anomaly destroyed while under the control of the James T. Kirk Hologram and find evidence of the Anomaly's innocence. Since their wasn't any, Vioxx worked with Remax to create false evidence which he took back to Larkin. Before she could present it to the Breen, they declared war on the Federation due to Starfleet's rescue of Bain from their space. Vioxx stopped Larkin for opening fire on the Breen ships and requested to mediate the dispute as a neutral representative of the Romulan Star Empire in hopes of giving the Anomaly crew time to find Bain or some other solution. While Vioxx was negotiating with Larkin and Thot-Mutch, Remax worked with Nortal, Zantak, Kasyov and Cabral to falsify evidence showing that the Breen destroyed their own outpost. Instead they found that the sensor readings of the incident were already fake, since the Breen outpost that the Anomaly destroyed while under the control of the James T. Kirk hologram was actually a weapons platform. They blackmailed Thot-Mutch into negotiating peace with Admiral Kristen Larkin, sending three crates of Breen lingerie aboard, and taking his helmet off for Remax and Vioxx. Remax later helped Selex, who was in the Anomaly's brig for attempting to kill Prosak, escape the ship and beam down to the Breen homeworld to request asylum. Vioxx and Prosak agreed to let Selex stay there and not inform Bain (Hollow Threats, Trial And Error, The Bain Supremacy [BG]).

After the Anomaly found itself inside a pocket universe containing the Multek Enclave, Vioxx and others from the ship took the Allegra to see if they could get help. They encountered the barrier at the edge of the pocket universe that severely damaged the Allegra when Centurion Nortal opened fire on it. They were able to make it to the nearby Edgeworld, where they crashed. Vioxx and crew went to the resort complex on Edgeworld looking for parts and also found a stasis tube containing a Dillon Consortium attorney named Tori Burke, who had been left there twenty years ago to supervise renovations that never ended up happening. Over Burke's objections, Vioxx and crew got the Allegra back into space, at which point they restored contact with the Anomaly. Captain Bain ordered them to try to stop a massive robot that had formed from the structures on Bradley Dillon's CasinoWorld as part of the Dillon Consortium's plan to take over the Multek Enclave. The Allegra was outmatched, but they were able to sever the robot's head from its body. Vioxx, Remax, Nortal, and Tori Burke beamed onto the robot and were able to shut it down while Lieutenant Bre'zan Brazzell flew the Allegra back to the Anomaly.

While Vioxx was at the Romulan Imperial Academy, he was involved with the daughter of one of Romulus' elite families, who had rebelled against her upper class parents and decided to serve in the Romulan military. Eventually, she left Vioxx and the Academy to return to the comfort of her old life. At Officer's School, he accidentally killed a classmate when he crashed a shuttle into the barracks where she was sleeping.
