General Tropes

Starfleet and the united federation of planets.

  • Aesop Amnesia : Multiple times during their history, they experiment with using artificial intelligence to try and improve their ships, the earliest being the installation of Dr. Richard Daystrom's M-5 computer on the Enterprise . In each instance, the A.I. has gone rogue and caused numerous casualties, and yet they never stopped trying to implement the idea of automating their ships well into the 24th century.
  • "The City On The Edge Of Forever": A woman named Edith Keeler is prevented from dying by a drug-induced Dr. McCoy . Her survival leads her to spearhead a peace movement during World War II, delaying United States involvement in the conflict. Without American intervention, Hitler wins by developing the atomic bomb first. Kirk is forced to stop McCoy from saving Edith, restoring history.
  • "Tapestry": Thanks to the interventions of Q, Jean-Luc Picard never sustains the heart injury he received from a Nausiccan as a cadet. Consequently, he remains a low-key Lieutenant Junior Grade science officer who never became prominent enough to receive a promotion, and never assumed command of the Enterprise . Picard accepts this injury was a part of him, and Q allows time to be restored.
  • "Parallels": There's at least one where Picard was killed during the battle of Wolf 359 and Riker was forced to assume command of the ship, another where the Borg nearly wiped out all of humanity, and other minor ones where certain players showed up for Worf's birthday when they weren't supposed to.
  • "All Good Things": In 2395, Picard retired from Starfleet and contract Irumodic Syndrome, and was briefly married to Beverly before she divorced him, while she became Captain of the Pasteur . Riker was promoted to Admiral and refitted the Enterprise -D to continue service as his flagship, while his relationship with Ambassador Worf became strained when Deanna died in an unspecified incident. Geordi got married to Dr. Leah Brahms, while Data became a prominent scholar. The timeline was wiped out when Picard passed his trial for the Q, though some events did play out in canon thanks to the events of Picard .
  • "Past Tense": Sisko and Bashir accidentally cause the death of Gabriel Bell—the man who starts the riots that force Earth to eliminate the horrendous sanctuary districts and set Earth on the path towards becoming the Federation. Since the Bell Riots never happened, the Federation is never formed, thus two are forced to fix things by starting the riots themselves, with Sisko posing as Bell.
  • "The Visitor": Captain Sisko dies in an accident on the Defiant , but is discovered to have been forced out of phase in time. Jake Sisko spends years of his life trying to save his father, and changes history when he commits suicide, allowing the elder Sisko to be sent back to that moment and preventing the accident. As a result, the Klingons never take over the station, the Defiant is destroyed instead of being spared, and Jadiza does not live a long and fulfilling life.
  • "Non Sequitur": Harry Kim was denied a posting to Voyager and never ended up getting stranded with them in the Delta Quadrant, which likewise saw Tom Paris stay behind because he was prematurely arrested by Odo on Deep Space Nine for causing trouble. Harry returns to the proper timeline, negating this one.
  • "Year of Hell": Voyager comes under constant attacks by the Krenim as one of their leaders is trying to restore time perfectly and bring back his wife. For a whole year, the crew suffers numerous casualties, the ship is damaged beyond repair, Tuvok is blinded, and the attacks never cease. Things are brought to an end when Janeway rams the ship into the Krenim's time ship, resetting things for both sides.
  • "Fury": An older Kes returns to Voyager and kills B'elanna to go back in time and sell the ship out to the Vidians. When that plot is foiled and the elder Kes is killed, Janeway and Tuvok are able to prevent it from happening again by convincing their old comrade to stand down, sparring B'elanna.
  • Star Trek (2009) : The mad Romulan miner named Nero is sent back to the year 2233 and destroys the Kelvin , resulting in the death of George Kirk. This causes the Federation to develop a more militaristic stance against their enemies, and leaves the younger Kirk without a father. Vulcan is subsequently destroyed and the Enterprise is heavily redesigned to a larger, more futuristic standard. Time does make sure the original senior staff are still brought together, but unlike with other alternate times, this one sticks around.
  • Arch-Enemy : Starfleet has had numerous foes over the years, all of which had made things rather personal. During the early years leading up to the Federation's formation, it was the Romulans. Between the Battle of the Binary Stars and the Khitomer Accords, it was the Klingons. During the skirmishes along the Federation borders, it was the Cardassians. For nearly 40 years since first contact with them until their demise , it was the Borg. During the Dominion War, it was the Founders. From the signing of the Temporal Accords until the death of Vosk, it was the Na'kuhl and their allies. After the Burn, it was the Emerald Chain, then later the Breen. Hilariously enough, the Federation outlasted nearly all of them.
  • Awakening the Sleeping Giant : They are a peaceful group, but make no mistake: if they are threatened in any serious capacity, they will pull out all the stops to defend themselves. The Dominion made the fatal mistake in assuming the Federation would just roll over and let them conquer them, unaware that they have some very dastardly tricks up their sleeve to win.
  • Big Good : For the most part, they're supposed to serve as this. Each Captain who has the organization's morals questioned will defend them vigorously, but will have to acknowledge from time-to-time that they aren't perfect.
  • Depending on the Writer : Each of the series has bounced around with the idea of exactly who the Federation and Starfleet are. Are they well-meaning, but ultimately a bit naive and misguided in a distrustful galaxy? Are they militaristic and more willing to impose their views on lesser species despite swearing never to do so? Are they Well Intentioned Extremists who have to take a more forceful approach to keeping the peace in order to save themselves from annihilation? Are they isolationists who would retreat to lick their wounds and let the rest of the galaxy fall apart, even if they have pragmatic reasons for doing so? Every series has depicted them as all that and more, but all can agree that they're supposed to be doing the right thing.
  • Determinator : Nothing is going to stop them from exploring the universe—not war, not plague, not disaster, not anything. And if someone threatens to do so, they will not hesitate to unleash everything they've got and ensure their survival.
  • Captain James T. Kirk is practically hated at the Department of Temporal Intelligence for having a record 17 violations of altering time. When two of their agents have to speak to Sisko about his visit to Deep Space K-7 in the 2260s, they shudder when Kirk gets brought up.
  • The Cerritos is famed amongst her fellow California class ships, but the more professional crews are not too fond of their dysfunctional antics. The Doctor makes mention of it once (implying he's been there before) with a sense of dread.
  • Foil : Practically every other major galactic power is this in contrast to the Federation. The Klingons are a Proud Warrior Race Guy society with a wavering sense of honor, and have gone from enemies to allies of the Federation more times than one can care to admit. The Romulans are a State Sec government that stacks secrets on top of secrets, and are extremely distrustful of anyone until their homeworld is annihilated and they eventually rejoin their Vulcan brethren . The Cardassians are a military dictatorship that has tried to enforce their will on lesser planets, and has fallen victim to the rot and decay of ambitious tyrants. The Borg are a race of cybernetic organisms that seek only the total assimilation of all life to perfect themselves, caring nothing for individuality and free will. And the Dominion are an empire built on the backs of those they conquered, seeking to push order onto a "chaotic" universe by any means necessary. And against all that, the Federation are explorers, scientists, and diplomats that live under a flawed, but ideal democracy, offering the choice of peace and the means to explore the stars to those that seek them.
  • Hero of Another Story : There are three major periods that haven't been explored in many Trek films or shows outside of soft-canon materials, those being the founding of the Federation in 2161 to the Discovery era in 2256, the disastrous launch of the Enterprise -B in 2293 to the first launch of the Enterprise -D in 2363 (otherwise known as "The Lost Era"), and the launch of the Enterprise -G in 2402 towards the eventual rebuilding of the Federation in the post-Burn era of 3191.
  • Hitler's Time Travel Exemption Act : Time travel is a risky business in their line of work, and they've established an entire department (Starfleet Department of Temporal Intelligence) to keep people from mucking up time by trying something like this or worse. They eventually outlaw altering time altogether in the 26th century, which causes several galactic powers to go into a Temporal Cold War so they can wipe out Starfleet before it's even formed and screw around with time however they like. Starfleet wins and bans all forms of time travel by the 31st century.
  • Insane Admiral : The Trope Codifier , it's almost crazy to think that a good chunk of the Admiralty in Starfleet (with the thankful exceptions of Paris, Ross, Janeway, Kirk, Picard, and Vance) jumped off the slippery slope and tried to achieve greater ambitions through illegal scheming and coverups. One of those admirals, Buenamigo , claims it's because once you hit Admiral, your career stalls and you have to try and do something big to get noticed again.
  • Legacy Vessel Naming : The Trope Codifier . When a ship has become famous enough to stand above its peers, Starfleet continues to honor their legacy by having new ships take up the name. So far, only the Enterprise , the Voyager , the Excalibur , and (briefly) the Titan have had their names and registries carried over, while the Defiant , Excelsior , and many others have had new ships bearing their names.
  • Made of Iron : Despite what their enemies may boast about the group facing annihilation, the Federation has managed to last over a millennium, from 2161 to at least the 33rd century. The Romulan Wars, the Klingon-Federation War, the Borg, the Dominion War, and the Burn all did their fair share of damage, but it ultimately did little to stop them from functioning as an entity, even if some of those attacks caused more long-term harm than others.
  • Warts and All : None of Starfleet's Captains like the idea of having to deal with the Federation's more...unsavory practices (looking at you Section 31), but they would lay down their lives defending its ideals.

The Starship Enterprise

  • Cool Starship : By virtue of being a lead character, any starship named Enterprise automatically qualifies as cool. She's outfitted with the latest technology to let her go faster, defend herself better, and is commanded by an elite crew of only the finest Starfleet officers.
  • Elites Are More Glamorous : In each Trek series an Enterprise appears in, she's considered to be the top posting, and only the best are allowed to serve on, much less command, her legacy.
  • Famed in Story : Because of the exploits of each ship that bore the name, Enterprise is a widely known hero far and wide—not just to Starfleet officers, but to other alien races such as the Klingon Empire.
  • Holding Back the Phlebotinum : Even though the ship is considerably powerful, Starfleet has a bad habit of keeping her in reserve in case the worst happens in war. The original 1701 was benched from the Klingon War in case they lost, and the E was stuffed onto diplomatic cleanup during the Dominion War.
  • Killed Off for Real : The original 1701, her Kelvin Timeline iteration, and the C are on the list of ships that perished in the line of duty. Well, technically the original 1701 is still "alive" by the virtue of having her Mirror Universe version being found, but it's not quite the same ship.
  • H.M.S. Enterprize : British Navy, 17th century sailing ship. Exact details regarding which ship this was is unknown.
  • U.S.S. Enterprise CV-6: United States Navy, 1930s aircraft carrier. Served with distinction and honors during World War II, engaging in multiple combative fields and being known as "The Grey Ghost". Scrapped between 1958 and 1960.
  • U.S.S. Enterprise CVN-65: United States Navy, Enterprise Class 1960s aircraft carrier. The longest aircraft carrier ever built. Personally visited by Captan Kirk and company during 1986. Decommissioned in 2017.
  • U.S.S. Enterprise OV-101: NASA, Space Shuttle Prototype from the 1970s. Used in preliminary trial runs. Named in real life for the fictional Enterprise . Retired in 2011, preserved at the Intrepid museum in New York City, New York.
  • U.S.S. Enterprise XVC-30: Earth spacecraft. Based on Matt Jefferies' concept art for the original Enterprise . Fate undisclosed.
  • Enterprise NX-01: Starfleet NX class from 2151. Designed by Henry Archer and Zeferam Cochrane. Commanded by Captain Jonathan Archer. First Warp 5 capable vessel ever constructed. First human ship to make first contact with the Klingons. Instrumental towards the foundation of the Federation. Refitted as early as 2151. Retired 2161 to honor the forming of the UFP, preserved at the Fleet Museum.
  • U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701: Starfleet and Federation Constitution-I class from 2245. Commanded by Robert April, Christopher Pike, James T. Kirk, Willard Deckard, and Spock. Made numerous first contacts and scientific discoveries. Longest served Enterprise in Starfleet history for 40 years. Underwent numerous refits, her last being in 2273 to Constitution-II specifications. Consigned as a training vessel in 2280s. Destroyed in 2285 over the Genesis Planet. Mirror Universe counterpart discovered in 3191 by U.S.S. Discovery and retrieved for study at Federation Headquarters. Kelvin Timeline version constructed in 2258 and launched under Pike's counterpart's command before Kirk took over. Damaged in 2260 and refitted following encounter with Khan . Launched on 5 year mission, which only lasted for 2 years before she was destroyed by Krall over Altamid.
  • U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-A: Starfleet and Federation Constitution-II class from 2286. Commanded by James T. Kirk. First legacy vessel established in franchise canon. Claimed to be the former Yorktown vessel. Instrumental in the establishment of the Khitomer Accords and eventual peace with the Klingon Empire. Retired in 2293 and preserved at the Fleet Museum. Kelvin Timeline iteration constructed in 2263 to replace her predecessor.
  • U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-B: Starfleet and Federation Excelsior refit class from 2293. Commanded by John Harriman. Noted for its infamous first flight, where a rescue mission to save El-Aurian refugees from an energy ribbon resulted in the apparent death of James T. Kirk. Final disposition in canon is unknown.
  • U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-C: Starfleet and Federation Ambassador class from early 24th century. Commanded by Rachel Garrett. Instrumental in helping to forge a permanent peace with the Klingon Empire when the crew defended the outpost of Narendra III from Romulan invaders. Destroyed in 2344 at the same attack, but was temporarily displaced from time until sent back to meet its fate.
  • U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D: Starfleet and Federation Galaxy class from 2363. Designed by Dr. Leah Brahms. Commanded by Jean-Luc Picard. Established first contact with the Q Continuum and proved instrumental in numerous discoveries and other first contacts. Assisted in rescuing Starfleet from the Borg after the disastrous battle at Wolf 359. Stardrive section destroyed in 2371 over Veridian III by the Duras Sisters; the saucer section crashed landed with minimal casualties. The saucer was later retrieved and moved for storage in the Fleet Museum. Underwent a personal restoration by Commodore Geordi LaForge , the ship's former Chief Engineer, over a 20 year period. Was temporarily removed from the museum to stop the last attack of the Borg. Restoration was completed the next year and the ship was retired.
  • U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-E: Starfleet and Federation Sovereign class from 2372. Commanded by Jean-Luc Picard, Worf, and one currently unknown Captain. Assisted Starfleet in preventing the Borg from preventing first contact with the Vulcans. Was consigned to ambassadorial duties during the Dominion War. Sustained heavy damage against the Scimitar during Shinzon's plot and was taken back to Earth for repairs. Placed under Worf's command after Picard's promotion to the Admiralty. Heavily damaged in the Battle of Gamma Serpentis. Worf rescinds command in 2385 after an incident at Krillar Prime. Vessel is removed from service in 2386 after a final, classified mission. Disposition unknown other than "It's Worf's fault".
  • U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-F: Starfleet and Federation Odyssey class from 2386. Commanded by numerous Captains, the most recent being Va'Kel Shon of Andoria. Served for 15 years until her systems were critically compromised during the rescue operation of Raillian refugees on Fenton IV in what came to be known as "The Monfette Gambit". Decommissioned at the Frontier Day Festivities in 2401 following a final flight. Disposition listed as "retired".
  • U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-G: Starfleet and Federation Constitution-III or Neo-Constitution Class from 2396. Formerly the U.S.S. Titan NCC-80102-A. Commanded by Liam Shaw and Seven of Nine. Constructed using parts removed from her damaged Luna class predecessor under the supervision of that ship's Captain, William Riker. Refitted in 2401. Played a key role in liberating Starfleet from the Borg threat once and for all. Rechristened to Enterprise -G in 2402 in honor of the Enterprise -D crew's efforts. Currently active.
  • U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-J: Starfleet and Federation Universe class from a possible future in the 26th century. The largest Enterprise seen to date. She was crucial towards ending the Temporal Cold War at the Battle of Procyon V. Status unknown.
  • Made of Iron : If there was one thing the Enterprise was good at, it was taking punishment. Each ship has been battered, beaten, shot, hit with torpedoes, and they could still keep going. The NX-01 was probably the best at it, since her hull was made of the extremely durable, yet highly unstable horonium alloy in lieu of not having any shields.
  • Retired Badass : The NX-01 , the A , the D and the Mirror 1701 have all been preserved by Starfleet, allowing them to rest out their days in honor of their heroics. The F is listed as retired, but her final disposition isn't clear as of yet.
  • Uncertain Doom : The E 's final fate could be this, as there's no mention of what happened to her after her final, "classified" mission, though it's clear that everyone holds Worf responsible.
  • What Happened to the Mouse? : Of the ships named Enterprise , the fate of the H.M.S. Enterprize isn't known on account of the fact that exactly which British ship it is isn't clear. As for Starfleet Vessels, the B and the E haven't had their fates disclosed in canon—the best than can be said about the latter is that she's at least unusable, and her old crew blames Worf for it, despite his insistence otherwise. The J 's fate is likewise fuzzy, though that's due to her existing in a possible future timeline that may no longer exist.
  • The Worf Effect : To demonstrate how powerful an enemy the ship was facing, it was quite common for her to be beaten senseless, or outright destroyed. The original and especially the D (who had the Trope Namer serving on her) both got hit with this more often than not.

The Starship Voyager

  • Aborted Arc : The Voyager -B was supposed to have a larger role in Picard , with Harry Kim as her Captain, before she got cut for time and budget.
  • Cool Starship : Voyager has more than a nice ring to it: she's a top-of-the-line science vessel built to chart the unknown, as all ships named after her have always done.
  • Famed in Story : The original Voyager 's journey into the Delta Quadrant has become the stuff of legend throughout Starfleet. When Mariner is given the opportunity to prepare the original for her final voyage to Earth, she's downright squeeing, and Boimler managed to get all of her old senior staff to autograph collectable plates of them—even the elusive Seven of Nine.
  • Hero of Another Story : In between the B and the J lays the history of the C through I , none of which have been told as of yet. And of course, there's the B 's own history.
  • U.S.S. Voyager NCC-74656: Intrepid class from 2371. Commanded by Kathryn Janeway. Launched from Deep Space Nine in pursuit of Maquis operatives, only to be pulled into the Delta Quadrant. Spent 7 years stranded there gathering information and technologies that became crucial toward's Starfleet's own development. Dealt a crippling blow to the Borg before returning to Federation Space. Spent three years in storage being studied and archived extensively before being moved to Earth as a temporary exhibit at the Presidio in San Fransisco. Currently on display at the Fleet museum.
  • U.S.S. Voyager NCC-74656-A: Lamarr class from 2385. Commanded by Kathryn Janeway and Chakotay . Heavily refitted with Delta Quadrant technology in effort to rescue Chakotay, who was stranded in a possible future. Proved instrumental in helping to liberate Solum from Asencia and repair damage wrought to the timeline. Current status is active as of 2385, but unknown by 2401.
  • U.S.S. Voyager NCC-74656-B: Pathfinder class from 2401. Commanding officer unknown note  It was supposed to be Harry Kim before it got cut for time. . Intended to launch at the Frontier Day festivities. Current status is active.
  • U.S.S. Voyager NCC-74656-D: Unknown class from between the 24th and 31st centuries. Registry number used in made up attempt by Ensign Beckett Mariner to get access to a party due to California class personnel being banned, even though the ship didn't exist yet.
  • U.S.S. Voyager NCC-74656-J: 31st century Intrepid class from 3190. Commanding officer unknown. Serving as the Federation's flagship by the Post-Burn era, in addition to being a testbed for the latest propulsion technologies. Installed with the Pathway Drive in 3191. Active as of 3191.
  • Retired Badass : The original Voyager is currently an exhibit at the Fleet Museum, on a well-earned rest for all the trials she suffered to get her crew back home.
  • Uncertain Doom : The A 's fate is up in the air between Prodigy Season 2 and Picard Season 3 due to the existence of the B by that time.

George Samuel Kirk, Sr.

George Samuel Kirk, Sr.

The father of James T. Kirk, George Samuel Kirk, Sr., plays a pivotal role in shaping his son's character and values, even though his presence in the series is brief.

His heroic actions leave a lasting impression on Kirk, inspiring him to follow in his father's footsteps and join Starfleet. The legacy of George Samuel Kirk establishes a strong foundation for the protagonist's journey, making him a significant figure within the Star Trek canon.

Romulan

The Romulans, an enigmatic and cunning race, serve as one of the most formidable adversaries in the Star Trek universe. Characterized by their pointed ears, sharp eyebrows, and militaristic society, Romulans are driven by a desire for power and territorial expansion, often employing deception and subterfuge to achieve their goals. Despite their antagonistic role, the complex and nuanced portrayal of individual Romulans, such as Commander Sela and Senator Vreenak, adds depth and intrigue to the franchise. Ultimately, the Romulans represent the darker side of ambition and secrecy, albeit with glimmers of hope for peace and understanding.

Nero

Nero, a Romulan mining ship captain turned vengeful villain in Star Trek (2009) , serves as a testament to the devastating influence of grief and loss on an individual's actions. Driven by the destruction of his home planet and the death of his family, Nero's quest for vengeance against Spock and the Federation leads him down a path of ruthless destruction. His single-minded obsession and disregard for the lives of others makes him a formidable antagonist. However, the emotional backstory underlying his actions also highlights the complexities inherent in all beings, regardless of their race or allegiance.

Nero's wife

Although her presence is brief and mostly in flashbacks, Nero's wife Amandine plays a vital role in the development of Star Trek (2009)'s primary antagonist. Her tragic death during Romulus's destruction serves as the catalyst for her husband's descent into madness and vengeance, fueling his desire to punish the world he sees as responsible. The deep love and devotion Nero feels for his wife are testaments to the character's humanity, providing a glimpse of vulnerability beneath his hardened exterior. As such, Amandine serves as a symbol of the transformative power of love and heartbreak within the Star Trek universe.

Vulcan Bully #1

Appearing in Star Trek (2009) , the character of the Vulcan Bully illustrates the challenges faced by young Spock in his formative years, highlighting his struggle to reconcile his dual heritage. Despite the common perception that Vulcans are solely driven by logic and devoid of emotion, the bullies reveal that even this seemingly stoic race can fall prey to more base instincts such as prejudice and cruelty. The actions of the Vulcan Bully push Spock to explore his human side and ultimately become the multifaceted character we know and love. The presence of this character underscores the complexities that lie beneath the surface of the Vulcan race.

Captain Robau

Though his time onscreen is brief, Captain Richard Robau of the USS Kelvin plays a crucial role in the opening moments of Star Trek (2009) . When faced with the threat of Nero's ship, Captain Robau demonstrates bravery and selflessness by agreeing to leave his crew and board the enemy vessel in an attempt to negotiate peace. His unflinching dedication to his command and willingness to sacrifice himself for the safety of others serve as a prime example of the leadership qualities that define Starfleet captains. Robau's actions set a tone of heroism and duty that resonates throughout the film and the franchise as a whole.

Barracks Leader

The Barracks Leader in Star Trek (2009) serves as an authoritative figure within the Starfleet Academy, responsible for maintaining order and discipline among the cadets.

His role underscores the importance of mentorship and guidance in the development of the franchise's beloved characters.

Winona Kirk

Winona Kirk

As the mother of James T. Kirk, Winona Kirk's influence on her son's life cannot be overstated. In the face of tragedy and loss, Winona demonstrates resilience and courage, raising Kirk and his brother in the aftermath of their father's death. Her strength and fortitude in the face of adversity inspire Kirk's own determination and drive to succeed in Starfleet. Although her appearance in the series is limited, Winona Kirk stands as a testament to the power of maternal love and endurance in shaping the lives of her children.

Gaila

Gaila, an Orion woman attending Starfleet Academy in Star Trek (2009) , is a minor character who adds an element of intrigue to the film. As the roommate of Uhura, Gaila represents the diversity of species and cultures present within the Star Trek universe, particularly within the ranks of Starfleet.

Gaila's presence, though fleeting, highlights Star Trek's commitment to inclusivity and the celebration of unique individuals from all walks of life.

Admiral Richard Barnett

As the Superintendent of Starfleet Academy, Admiral Richard Barnett serves as an imposing presence and symbol of authority in Star Trek (2009) .

The Wrong Orion

The Wrong Orion, played by Rachel Nichols in Star Trek (2009), is an intriguing character who serves as an essential catalyst for the film's events, making her one of the best Star Trek characters to date. As the enigmatic and exotic green-skinned beauty, Nichols expertly captures the allure associated with the Orion race.

The Wrong Orion's presence on-screen not only adds intrigue and excitement to the plot but also challenges our preconceived notions of the Orions, enabling her character to leave an indelible mark on the Star Trek universe.

Ayel, Nero's second-in-command in Star Trek (2009) , serves as a loyal and ruthless supporter of his captain's quest for vengeance. The unwavering devotion he displays toward Nero's cause, even in the face of destruction, speaks to the strong bonds formed among Romulan comrades in their militaristic society.

Henry's powerful portrayal of the Kelvin Doctor in the opening scenes provides the audience with an incredibly intense and emotional introduction to the rebooted Star Trek universe. This incredible performance cements the Kelvin Doctor as a standout character among the pantheon of Star Trek greats.  

The Iowa Cop in Star Trek (2009) represents authority and law on Earth, contrasting with the interstellar focus of most characters in the series. Encountering a young James T. Kirk during one of his more reckless moments, the interaction between the two showcases Kirk's defiance and struggle to find his path in life before joining Starfleet. The Iowa Cop's presence emphasizes the importance of choices and consequences in shaping one's future, a theme that resonates throughout the Star Trek universe. Though a minor character, his brief appearance reminds audiences that even Earth-bound concerns play a role in the larger narrative of the series.

Med Evac Pilot

In Star Trek (2009) , the Med Evac Pilot's role is small but significant, as he helps transport an injured George Samuel Kirk, Sr. to safety. Despite the chaos and uncertainty of their circumstances, the pilot demonstrates courage and professionalism under pressure. His actions contribute to the foundations of the Kirk family saga and the heroics that would define James T. Kirk's life. In the grand tapestry of the Star Trek universe, characters like the Med Evac Pilot emphasize the importance of teamwork and bravery in the face of adversity.

Lew the Bartender

Lew the Bartender, played by the late Jeremy Roberts in Star Trek: Voyager, is a unique addition to the long list of memorable Star Trek personalities. Providing a human touch within the heart of the Delta Quadrant, Lew's character exemplifies the idea that despite being lightyears away from home, some things remain constant - like a friendly face tending the bar. The engaging storytelling nature of his character manages to create a profound connection between the crew and the audience. Through Lew the Bartender's warm demeanor and quick wit, Roberts brings a sense of warmth and familiarity to the otherwise unpredictable and often hostile environment of the Delta Quadrant.

Kelvin Helmsman, portrayed by Greg Ellis in Star Trek (2009), is an exceptional character you can't help but appreciate. As the helmsman aboard the USS Kelvin, his character showcases a combination of unwavering loyalty and dedication to duty, even in the face of imminent danger. In what could have been a minor role, Ellis manages to imbue the character with a sense of purpose and skill that makes him stand out among the crew. Furthermore, the Kelvin Helmsman's actions under pressure leave an indelible mark on the audience, reinforcing his position as one of the best Star Trek characters of all time.  

Romulan Helmsman

The Romulan Helmsman serves as an integral member of Nero's crew in Star Trek (2009) , expertly navigating the villain's formidable ship through challenging situations. Although not a primary focus of the story, his contributions to Nero's destructive mission hint at the skills and cunning of the Romulan race. As a loyal supporter of his captain's cause, the Romulan Helmsman's role showcases the strength of the bond between comrades in the face of adversity. His presence offers yet another dimension to the complexity and depth of the Star Trek universe.

Burly Cadet #1

The burly cadet in Star Trek (2009) serves as a foil to the protagonist during an intense confrontation at the Starfleet Academy bar. This character's aggression and short temper contrast sharply with the poise and restraint demonstrated by Captain Pike as he intervenes in the situation. The burly cadet's presence highlights the diverse range of personalities that coexist within the Star Trek universe and the challenges faced by those attempting to navigate such a complex social landscape.

Kelvin Alien #2

As a crew member aboard the USS Kelvin in Star Trek (2009) , this unnamed alien character exemplifies the diverse range of species that come together under the banner of Starfleet. Although only a background character, their presence adds to the rich tapestry of cultures that intersect within the Star Trek universe, demonstrating the commitment to inclusion and cooperation that defines the Federation. This alien crew member serves as a reminder of the infinite possibilities and inherent unity of the franchise's vision of the future.

Long Face Bar Alien

Adding a touch of the bizarre and captivating to the bar scene in Star Trek (2009) , the Long Face Bar Alien is a visually striking creature whose presence underscores the sheer diversity of life within the franchise's universe. Though not a central character, its unique appearance and otherworldly demeanor hint at the boundless array of stories and experiences that exist beyond the immediate focus of the film. The Long Face Bar Alien serves as a testament to Star Trek's enduring ability to capture the imagination and transport audiences to a future filled with awe, wonder, and endless possibility.

Every Star Trek Character Played By Suzie Plakson

5 ways patti yasutake's nurse ogawa was so important to star trek: tng, star trek: ds9 made 1 tng character more important (and it wasn’t chief o’brien).

  • TNG introduced strong female characters like Crusher and Troi, but many interesting women only appeared briefly.
  • Star Trek improved its portrayal of women in TNG, but still struggled with underutilization of female characters.
  • Modern Trek shows like Picard and Lower Decks have brought back underutilized female characters for more stories.

Star Trek: The Next Generation introduced several strong and intelligent female characters, most of whom didn't stick around as long as they should have. Led by Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart), TNG's ensemble cast featured Dr. Beverly Crusher (Gates McFadden) and Counselor Deanna Troi (Marina Sirtis) as main characters, although they did not always receive the strongest storylines. Throughout its seven seasons, TNG introduced many interesting female characters who only appeared for one or two episodes, despite having the potential for more stories.

Although Star Trek's depiction of women improved dramatically in Star Trek: The Next Generation when compared with Star Trek: The Original Series , TNG was still a product of its time . Many fascinating female characters were introduced throughout the series, but they rarely stuck around long enough to become fully developed characters. Thankfully, modern Trek shows like Star Trek: Picard, Star Trek: Lower Decks, and Star Trek: Prodigy have brought back some of these characters who were underutilized in their initial appearances.

20 Awesome Women In Star Trek

Throughout its nearly 60-year history, the Star Trek franchise has introduced an incredible cast of women and iconic female characters.

10 Commander Elizabeth Shelby (Elizabeth Dennehy)

Star trek: the next generation season 3, episode 26 & season 4, episode 1 - "the best of both worlds".

In the iconic Star Trek: The Next Generation two-parter , "The Best of Both Worlds," Commander Elizabeth Shelby was sent to the USS Enterprise-D to investigate potential Borg attacks. When Shelby learned that Commander William Riker (Jonathan Frakes) had been offered his own command, she set her sights on becoming the next First Officer of the Enterprise-D .

After Captain Picard was kidnapped and assimilated by the Borg, Shelby proved to be an incredibly skilled officer, as she led an away team to the Borg cube. Picard's capture left Riker in charge of the Enterprise, and Shelby stepped up as his temporary First Officer. In the battle against the Borg, Riker and Shelby made a good team, ultimately rescuing Picard and destroying the Borg cube.

By the time of Star Trek: Picard season 3, Shelby had achieved the rank of Fleet Admiral and she led the celebrations at Frontier Day. When the Borg triggered assimilation in all of Starfleet's youngest officers, Shelby was shot and presumably killed by her assimilated crew members.

9 K’Ehleyr (Suzie Plakson)

Star trek: the next generation season 2, episode 20 ("the emissary") & season 4, episode 7 ("reunion").

Suzie Plakson's K’Ehleyr made her debut in Star Trek: The Next Generation's "The Emissary," where she traveled to the Enterprise to intercept an old Klingon sleeper ship. From her very first scene, Plakson embued K'Ehleyr with so much personality that she was instantly memorable. Upon arriving on the Enterprise, K'Ehleyr reconnected with her former flame, Lt. Worf (Michael Dorn), but she refused to marry him when he asked.

After completing her mission in "The Emissary," K'Ehleyr did not make another appearance until TNG season 4's "Reunion." When came aboard the Enterprise this time, she had her young son, Alexander (Jon Steuer) , in tow, and surprised Worf by revealing that he was the father. Tragically, the Klingon Duras (Patrick Massett) killed K'Ehleyr when he discovered that she had found evidence linking him to Worf's discommendation.

What do a Vulcan, a Klingon, a Q, and an Andorian have in common? Actress Suzie Plakson has played them all in her Star Trek guest appearances.

8 Dr. Leah Brahms (Susan Gibney)

Star trek: the next generation season 3, episode 6 ("booby trap") & season 4, episode 16 ("galaxy's child").

Dr. Leah Brahms may be most remembered as the subject of Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge's (LeVar Burton) awkward holodeck romance , but she was a compelling character on her own. A brilliant scientist who helped design the Enterprise's engines, Brahms could easily have played a larger role in Star Trek: The Next Generation . Brahms was an expert in warp field theory, and the Enterprise crew could have contacted her more often.

Leah Brahms visited the USS Enterprise-D in Star Trek: The Next Generation 's "Galaxy's Child," which led to an awkward conversation with Geordi when she discovered his holodeck program. Brahms felt understandably violated by La Forge's program, and his reaction didn't exactly do him any favors. Still, the two put aside their differences and worked together in the end, eventually becoming good friends.

7 Ensign Sito Jaxa (Shannon Fill)

Star trek: the next generation season 5, episode 19 ("the first duty") & season 7, episode 15 ("lower decks").

Sito Jaxa made her first appearance as a cadet at Starfleet Academy, alongside Wesley Crusher (Wil Wheaton). As a member of the Nova Squadron, Sito was involved in a flight exercise accident that caused the death of one of her fellow cadets. After Sito and her squadron attempted to cover up the real reason for the accident, she remained at Starfleet Academy and continued to pursue a career on a starship.

By the time of TNG's "Lower Decks," Sito had landed a position on the Enterprise-D, working in the security department with Lt. Worf. Seven months after being assigned to the Enterprise, Picard asked Sito to participate in an undercover mission to help a Cardassian defector return to Cardassian space. Tragically, Sito was killed during this mission and her death had a profound effect on her fellow lower deckers.

Sito Jaxa briefly returned in a flashback in Star Trek: Lower Decks season 4, episode 10, "Old Friends, New Planets." While at the Academy, Sito had been a friend and mentor to Beckett Mariner (Tawny Newsome).

6 Ensign Robin Lefler (Ashley Judd)

Star trek: the next generation season 5, episode 2 ("darmok") & season 5, episode 6 ("the game").

Only appearing in two episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Ashley Judd's Ensign Robin Lefler had the potential to be a compelling guest character. In her first appearance, she was seen working alongside Geordi La Forge in engineering and she later formed a connection with Wesley Crusher. When Wesley visited the Enterprise while on vacation from Starfleet Academy, he and Robin helped save the crew from a dangerously addictive game.

Aside from Wesley Crusher, TNG rarely explored Starfleet from the perspective of young people (with "Lower Decks" as a notable exception). With Wesley's departure from the show, Robin Lefler could have taken over his role, but she unfortunately never appeared again after "The Game." Modern Trek shows like Star Trek: Lower Decks and the upcoming Star Trek: Starfleet Academy have begun exploring the lives of Starfleet cadets and ensigns in more depth.

5 Nurse Alyssa Ogawa (Patti Yasutake)

16 episodes of star trek: the next generation, star trek generations, star trek: first contact.

Beginning in Star Trek: The Next Generation season 4 , Nurse Alyssa Ogawa joined the medical team of Dr. Beverly Crusher. As one of the head nurses on the Enterprise-D, Ogawa assisted with important surgeries and helped care for the crew during medical emergencies. She became close personal friends with Dr. Crusher and the two regularly discussed their romantic relationships and lives outside of their careers.

In TNG season 6, episode 22, "Suspicions," Ogawa even risked her own career to help Dr. Crusher investigate some suspicious deaths. Ogawa appeared in sixteen episodes of TNG, and her presence helped make the Enterprise feel more lived in. She proved herself to be a skilled nurse, and Dr. Crusher even recommended her for promotion in TNG season 7, episode 15, "Lower Decks."

In the wake of Patti Yasutake's tragic death, here are 5 reasons Nurse Alyssa Ogawa became one of Star Trek: TNG's best recurring characters.

4 Amanda Rogers (Olivia d'Abo)

Star trek: the next generation season 6, episode 6 ("true q").

Amanda Rogers first visited the Enterprise as part of a Starfleet Academy internship, reporting to Dr. Beverly Crusher as her mentor. Soon after her arrival, however, Amanda displayed strange powers reminiscent of John de Lancie's Q. Q arrived to investigate, informing Amanda that she was from the Q Continuum. Her birth parents had left the Contiuum and lived as humans, but were killed when Amanda was a baby.

Although Amanda initially wanted to stay on the Enterprise and refrain from using her powers, she later accepted her true nature and left with Q. Despite Q's later Star Trek appearances , Amanda never appeared again and her story remained unfinished on screen. In her single appearance, Amanda seemed like a genuinely good person and it would have been fascinating to see more of her story, considering she's the only Q who was raised as a human.

3 Vash (Jennifer Hetrick)

Star trek: the next generation season 3, episode 19 ("captain's holiday") & season 4, episode 20 ("qpid").

Captain Picard was entirely devoted to his Starfleet career, so he rarely found time for romance, but he made an exception for Vash. An archeologist with shady morals, Vash met Jean-Luc Picard while he was vacationing on Risa, and she quickly pulled him into one of her schemes. Intelligent and bold, Vash had visited Risa in search of a legendary artifact that would make her a huge profit.

After their dalliance on Risa, Vash and Picard parted on amicable terms, realizing their lifestyles were incompatible. Vash later reunited with Jean-Luc when the Enterprise hosted the Federation Archaeology Council symposium. While Vash was visiting the Enterprise, Q appeared and tried to help Jean-Luc in his love life by staging an elaborate Robin Hood-inspired fantasy.

After TNG's "Qpid," Vash left to travel with Q and the pair paid a visit to space station Deep Space Nine in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine season 1, episode 7, "Q-Less."

2 Keiko O'Brien (Rosalind Chao)

Eight episodes of star trek: the next generation.

Keiko O'Brien first appeared in Star Trek: The Next Generation season 4, episode 11, "Data's Day," when she married Chief Miles O'Brien (Colm Meaney) . Keiko worked as a botanist on the Enterprise-D and was introduced to Miles by their mutual friend, Lt. Commander Data (Brent Spiner). In TNG season 5, episode 5, "Disaster," Keiko gave birth to her and Miles's first child, Molly (Angela and Angelica Tedeski), with Worf acting as a reluctant midwife.

The following year, in TNG season 6, episode 7, "Rascals," Keiko was one of the Enterprise officers transformed into a child, which led to some awkward moments with Miles and Molly. Although Keiko did not get much development as a character on TNG , she helped fill out the Enterprise crew and reminded viewers that the ship had families aboard. When Chief O'Brien transferred to Deep Space Nine, Keiko and Molly, of course, went with him.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's serialized storytelling improved many former TNG characters, including someone close to Chief O'Brien's heart.

1 Ensign Ro Laren (Michelle Forbes)

Star Trek: The Next Generation introduced Ensign Ro Laren in season 5, and she went on to appear in eight total episodes of the series. Although she received more development as a character than many of the women on this list, TNG still did not use her as much as they could have. Still, Ro had a fascinating backstory. After surviving the Cardassian occupation of Bajor, Ro joined Starfleet but had a rather tumultuous relationship with the organization.

After a disastrous away mission in which Ro disobeyed direct orders, she was court-martialed and imprisoned. She was later reinstated as a Starfleet Ensign and joined the crew of the Enterprise-D. Although many Enterprise crew members were initially weary of Ro, she later came to feel like a part of the crew. Picard took Ro under his wing, which left him all the more disappointed when she left Starfleet to join the rebel group known as the Maquis.

Ro Laren was originally meant to be the First Officer on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, but Michelle Forbes turned down the offer. The role later became Major Kira Nerys (Nana Visitor).

Picard did not get the chance to discuss Ro's betrayal until many years later in Star Trek: Picard season 3 , by which time she had rejoined Starfleet yet again. Ro was apparently killed while investigating the Changeling infiltration of Starfleet, although she did manage to pass the information she had gathered to Picard. Throughout her nine Star Trek appearances, Ro became one of Star Trek: The Next Generation's most interesting secondary characters.

  • Trivia When auditioning for the part of the holographic doctor, Robert Picardo was asked to say the line "Somebody forgot to turn off my program." He did so, then ad-libbed "I'm a doctor, not a light bulb" and got the part.
  • Goofs There is speculation that the way the Ocampa are shown to have offspring is an impossible situation, as a species where the female can only have offspring at one event in her life would half in population every generation, even if every single member had offspring. While Ocampa females can only become pregnant once in their lifetime, if was never stated how many children could be born at one time. Kes mentions having an uncle, implying that multiple births from one pregnancy are possible.

  18. 10 Star Trek Female Characters That Made TNG Better

    Star Trek: The Next Generation introduced several strong and intelligent female characters, most of whom didn't stick around as long as they should have. Led by Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart), TNG's ensemble cast featured Dr. Beverly Crusher (Gates McFadden) and Counselor Deanna Troi (Marina Sirtis) as main characters, although they did not always receive the strongest storylines.
