She was a geneticist before the first Bloody Valentine War and was involved a lot of in most of Coordinators R&D in Mendel Space Colony. She also witness the birth of the Ultimate Coordinator then join the other scientists in the next project called "Operation Sanctuary". The experiment consisted of 50 embryos, only 20 survived but 5 of them had genetic flaws. Despite this, the experiment was a success. When Blue Cosmo raided the space colony, Sayako fled with one of the babies. After that, she joined ZAFT in attempt to avenge her fellow scientists killed in the raid. After realising the child (Shoko) that she rescued was going to be used as a living weapon, she kidnapped the child and fled once again to the Three Ships Alliance.

Valkyrie Vixen's Pilots
Shoko Hayame - Coordinator; Pilot of the ZGMF-2002 GOUF Custom. Sayako clearly knows that she is conceive in an artificial womb as an experiment on producing a superhuman dubbed as "Operation Sanctuary". She has a small tattoo on her right shoulder as proof but mostly everyone doesn't seem to notice it. She faced intensive military training at a young age and isolated from the world which explains her anti-social behaviours. She always carry out orders swiftly and never questions the rights of the commander.
Xin - Coordinator, Junk Guild, Triple Alliance; Pilot of ZGMF-X18 Gunslinger and Shoko's love interest. A highly skilled Junk Tech in repairs, retrofitting and modifications. Originally a crew member of the Junk Guild's ReHOME. When he was looking valuable junk parts in the debris belt after the Order of Battle, he came a cross the fully intact mobile suit which he thinks it can fetch a high prices from collectors. However his worker pod was attacked the Valkyrie Vixen and held captive aboard. He went under questioning from the captain. During his questioning, the ship was attacked by Exiler's mobile suits (mass-produced type). Since the ship was badly damaged from a previous battle, it was uable to evade the Exiler troops. As Xin did not want to die on alien ground, he decided to take off with that mobile suit he found. Unknowingly, he became a mobile suit pilot for the Triple Alliance. He has a tattoo similiar to Shoko's, much to Sayako's surprise.
Raul Ortega - Coordinator, ZAFT, Triple Alliance; Pilot of ZGMF-X101S ZAKU Splendor and Sayako's love interest. He likes to flirt around with the Valkyrie Vixen's bridge personnel by showing off his masculine body and flexing his muscles (much to Sayako's tolerance). He serve a comic relief on the ship. Besides being a elite pilot, he is very familiar with hand held weapons. He keeps a shotgun in his cabin.
David, Derrick and Kenneth - Coordinators, ZAFT, Triple Alliance; Pilots of the three ZGMF-2000 GOUF Ignited. Coincidentally, they all are Xin's childhood who grew in the same PLANT.
