Hazmi was a marine of Torch Seven. Hazmi took part in the unit's ill-fated mission to Vygoire, assigned to investigate a Dominion lab complex that had stopped responding to hails. Terrestrial and orbital observation showed that while the complex had suffered damage, it appeared to be from natural causes, such as a landslide. As per urban-recon protocols, the facility was investigated, the unit discovering human remains, but no living scientists. Sergeant Norwood Doakes assigned Hazmi to patch into the base's comms tower so he could broadcast a signal for any terran survivors. Hazmi did so, but no-one replied.
