Myau Ping-wa was a Solarian citizen and an officer of the Solarian League Navy.
In 1922 PD, she held the rank of Captain and was assigned as commanding officer of the destroyer SLNS Avenger, assigned to the Saltash System in the Verge.
When the Royal Manticoran Navy arrived to reclaim a group of illegally detained Manticoran merchants in April of that year, Myau witnessed the destruction of four Indefatigable-class battlecruisers of Battlecruiser Squadron 491 at the hands of Captain Jacob Zavala's Destroyer Squadron 301. Shortly after, she ordered her engineers to rig the ship's fusion plant and her crew to abandon ship rather than have them killed unnecessarily. (SI3)
