Ayala was a male engineer and a member of Chakotay's Maquis cell in 2371, serving aboard the Geronimo. (VOY - The Brave and the Bold, Book Two novella: The Third Artifact)

That year, Ayala was transported with the Geronimo to the Delta Quadrant. Like the other surviving members of its crew, he became a crewman on the USS Voyager. Ayala was given the provisional rank of lieutenant junior grade. (VOY novelization: Caretaker)

At the beginning of 2375 on Voyager, Captain Kathryn Janeway was in a coma and Harry Kim and Tom Paris were both missing and presumed dead. Now acting-captain Chakotay reorganized the senior staff and Ayala was given Harry Kim's old position at ops. (VOY novel: Evolution)
