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. After these events, the Anomaly went to Waystation Prime for repairs. While there, Burke informed Vioxx that she would do everything in her power to destroy him.

Burke later approached Vioxx and apologized. He invited her on a dinner date, which she accepted. They ended up being kidnapped along with several of the Anomaly's crew as part of Dillon Consortium CEO Jackson Loomis' plan to brainwash them against Bain. Once Vioxx and the others were rescued by Waystation Prime security, Burke went to find Loomis. She was named CEO, and Vioxx was unable to reach her for weeks. She finally commed him to say that she was leaving for Dillonia and that he would not see her again. (Legend of the Bain [BG])

Vioxx went to the Days of Fryer Past restaurant on Nelephron with Bain, Nortal, and Lieutenant Shelly Marsden for what was supposed to be an official meeting but was actually a Dillon Consortium trap. Burke and several of her guards arrived, and she revealed her intention to brainwash Marsden into helping the Consortium reverse engineer the anti-singularity drive while the rest of the crew were killed (after a long period of torture in Nortal's case). The revelation that she'd sent a fleet to the Pliggeri homeworld drew laughter from Bain and the others, rattling Burke when she found out the planet no longer existed. She argued with the minds in the CEO suit, which confused Vioxx and prompted him to get Marsden to scan her. Things went downhill for Burke from there when Nortal attacked her, and the room was quickly engulfed in a firefight. Vioxx tried to talk to Burke, but the suit forced her to attempt to kill him. Not wanting the only person who had been remotely nice to her dead, Burke broke free of the suit's control long enough to tell Vioxx to strip her even while she was choking the life out of him. He managed to get the suitcoat and pants off of her, freeing her from the suit's control. Bain and Nortal, having dealt with the guards, destroyed the suit, and Burke was taken into custody. The Anomaly also escaped the trap set for it, and Burke found herself in its brig. Vioxx came to speak to her and said that he would try to come visit her at whatever Federation rehabilitation colony she ended up in. (Welcome to the Party [BG])

He was surprisingly thrust into parenthood when the Neb entity decided that Vioxx was their daddy. Vioxx at first wanted nothing to do with the idea but was pushed into taking care of Neb by Dr. Natalia Kasyov, Marsden, and Tovar. Unable to deal with Neb's tantrum, Vioxx introduced the fast-aging lifeform to the holopod and left them there. Neb used the holopod to take control of the Anomaly and sent it speeding through space at anti-sing. At Kasyov's urging, Vioxx went into the holopod to talk to Neb and was able to connect with them. By the time Neb decided it was time to leave the Anomaly, Vioxx had grown attached to them and worried about their safety out in the galaxy. He asked Captain Bain to have Starfleet keep a lookout for Neb and was dismayed to learn from Bain that, now that he was a parent, he would never stop worrying about Neb. (Born to Rom [BG])

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.

Vioxx and his officers were recalled to the Romulan Empire and ordered to report to the Malak Pasala ship yard in order to take the Empire's prototype anti-singularity drive vessel, the Manamanat out for test flights. They discovered that Selex had helped design the engine for the Manamanat and that he was still aboard. Selex imprisoned Vioxx and the others on the bridge while he laid a trap for the USS Anomaly in order to achieve his real goals: revenge on his Romulan crewmates and the death of Prosak. Vioxx and company escaped the bridge and made it to engineering where they found that Selex was running the ship as a disembodied brain encased in a sphere. Selex had teamed up with Thot-Phul and the Breen to take on the Anomaly, but Bain quickly got the upper hand. With his own ship destroyed, Phul and several Breen beamed over to take control of the Manamanat. While Remax, Zantak, and Prosak mind melded with Selex to help him keep the ship's unstable anti-singularity drive from exploding and killing them all, Vioxx and Nortal dealt with the Breen on board, taking out a security team before heading to the bridge, where Nortal battled several of Phul's underlings and Vioxx fought Phul himself, much to Phul's annoyance since he only wanted to fight Bain. But after Bain destroyed his fleet and damaged the Manamanat, Phul no longer saw the point. He stopped grappling with Vioxx and surrendered. Following these events, Vioxx returned to the Empire with his officers and was given command of another scout ship. While out exploring beyond the Empire, they encountered Neb. Vioxx invited Neb to have dinner with him, an offer that Neb accepted. (Going, Going, Gone... [BG])
