Images and details have been released about the cast and their respective characters from " Star Trek: Prodigy ," the new animated " Star Trek " show coming from Paramount+.
During the Paramount+ Star Trek First Contact Day event in April, an image of the primary characters together was released, along with the first images of Captain Janeway (serving as the starship's built-in Emergency Training Hologram and voiced by Kate Mulgrew,) but we didn't learn anything else about the rest of the crew. However, now we have some basic background information plus a few screenshots from the show.

Tellarites are a long-established alien race in "Star Trek" first appearing in " The Original Series " and this teenage Tellarite is named Jankom Pog. Played by Jason Mantzoukas, Pog apparently loves a good argument and regardless of his own opinion, he’ll always play ‘devil’s advocate’ for the sake of hearing all sides. Mantzoukas has appeared in a number of television shows including "Brooklyn 99" and "The League" together with voice roles in "Invincible" and "American Dad!"

Murf is an endearing, indestructible blob with curiously good timing and an insatiable appetite for ship parts. It's not known whether or not Murf is in its late teens or not. Dee Bradley Baker stars as the Yaphet-esque creature, possibly best known as the voice of Captain Rex in the multitude of "Star Wars" animated television shows and Klaus the goldfish on "American Dad!"

The Hulk-like Rok-Tahk, voiced by young actor Rylee Alazraqui stars as an unusually bright 8-year-old Brikar . While a bit shy, Rok doesn't hold back when it comes to her love of animals. Alazraqui herself is only 10 years old and to date has had voice roles on Cartoon Network's "Summer Camp Island."

The British actor Angus Imrie plays a particularly interesting character, Zero, who is a Medusan, not seen on a televised "Star Trek" show since "The Original Series" episode "Is There in Truth No Beauty?" (S03, E07). These are a non-corporeal and genderless energy-based life form known to cause insanity to any humanoid who gaze upon their natural form. Consequently, Zero wears a containment suit to protect those around them. Imrie has most prominently appeared as Prince Edward in Netflix’s "The Crown" and the Batman prequel series "Pennyworth."
In an interview with Dennis Miller on the Dennis Miller + 1 podcast released on May 12, Kate Mulgrew shared some details about the upcoming show. All the characters are from the Delta Quadrant and the show picks up just a few years after USS Voyager‘s return home.
"Five kids are incarcerated on an obscure planet in an uncharted part of the galaxy. They escape from their imprisonment and race across the planet to find a defunct starship buried in the sand of the planet's surface," Mulgrew said in the interview . They enter the ship, but are unable to make it work. With prison guards hot on their heels, they suddenly stumble upon an Emergency Training Hologram in the form of Captain Janeway.
"It's really, I think, going to capture the imagination of little kids. And if they can sit with their mothers, who watched me in live action, and their fathers who loved the other guys, we’ve got a family affair and that will bring it full circle," Mulgrew said in the podcast .
"Star Trek: Prodigy" will debut on Paramount+ in the US sometime in late 2021 before later airing on Nickelodeon. The show will also be available on the CTV Sci-Fi Channel in Canada. Additional international availability has not yet been announced.

![characters in star trek prodigy Logo](https://blog.trekcore.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Logo.png)
British actor Ella Purnell stars as Gwyn , a 17-year-old member of the Vau N’ Akat species, a new race to Star Trek , who was raised on her father’s bleak mining planet — and grew up dreaming of exploring the stars.
Purnell was most recently seen in Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead which landed on Netflix earlier this year, and starred in the two-season run of Sweetbitter on Starz.
![characters in star trek prodigy](https://blog.trekcore.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/dal.jpg)
Brett Gray stars as 17-year-old Dal — a purple alien whose race is not yet known — who fancies himself a maverick and holds strong onto his unwavering hope even in the toughest of times.
Gray currently stars as one of the leads on the Netflix coming-of-age series On My Block , and recently made guest appearances on When They See Us and Chicago P.D.
![characters in star trek prodigy](https://blog.trekcore.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/jankom.jpg)
Always-energetic comedic actor Jason Mantzoukas stars as Tellarite teenager Jankom Pog , a species which has been part of Star Trek lore since the Original Series, with members of the argumentative race later taking on a prominent role during the final season of Star Trek: Enterprise .
At age 16, Pog loves a good argument like many of the Tellarites we’ve seen before, and regardless of his own opinion, he’ll always play ‘devil’s advocate’ for the sake of hearing all sides. (Many fans speculated this character would be a Talaxian — like Voyager’s Neelix.)
Mantzoukas has been seen in many high-profile television comedies including Brooklyn 99, The Good Place , and The League, and has performed many voice acting roles for shows like Big Mouth , Invincible , and American Dad! .
![characters in star trek prodigy](https://blog.trekcore.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/zero.jpg)
Angus Imrie stars as a member of another classic Star Trek race: Zero the Medusan , an energy-based life form whose species was introduced in 1968’s “Is There in Truth No Beauty?”
Medusans are non-corporeal and genderless, and are known to cause madness to any humanoid who would lay eyes on their natural form — so Zero wears a containment suit to protect those around them.
The British actor has perhaps most prominently appeared as Prince Edward in Netflix’s The Crown , with other recent guest appearances in Fleabag and the Batman prequel series Pennyworth .
![characters in star trek prodigy](https://blog.trekcore.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/murf.jpg)
Perhaps best known as the voice of Captain Rex (and all of the Empire’s other clone troopers) in the multitude of Star Wars animated television shows, the prolific actor also voices German man-turned-fish Klaus on American Dad!, Animal on the current run of Muppet Babies , as well as hundreds of other characters over his long career.
![characters in star trek prodigy](https://blog.trekcore.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/rok-tahk.jpg)
At just 10 years old, Alazraqui has only been in the business for a short time, and to date has most notably contributed voices to Cartoon Network’s Summer Camp Island. As for her character, Rok-Tahk may be the most interesting member of this alien crew, as her race actually began life among the pages of 1990s-era Star Trek print storytelling.
The Brikar (or Brikarian) species was originally created by author Peter David in his 1993 young-adult Star Trek: Starfleet Academy tale Worf’s First Adventure , and later incorporated the race into his the original novel series Star Trek: New Frontier .
![characters in star trek prodigy](https://blog.trekcore.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/kebron.jpg)
Zak Kebron , the Brikar who originated in Worf’s First Adventure and later served as New Frontier security chief aboard the USS Excalibur , was an extremely strong rock-like creature who was raised in a high-gravity environment (like the other members of his species). Eventually, Kebron lost his rocky appearance as he matured, a natural change part of Brikar development.
While it’s hard to tell from this early description how much of that novel-based Brikar alien depiction will carry over to television, as the character was depicted in different designs as Kebron appeared on different book covers and in New Frontier comics, but the young Rok-Tahk certainly appears “rocky” enough to bring the species into the television world.
![characters in star trek prodigy](https://blog.trekcore.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/janeway.jpg)
Of course, rounding out the cast is returning Star Trek: Voyager series lead Kate Mulgrew as Kathryn Janeway, who in this show will be voicing a hologram of the USS Voyager captain — an “emergency training hologram” who will be the sole Starfleet representation on the unfamiliar ship that the young aliens find while escaping prison in the Delta Quadrant.

This breakdown of the cast and animated crew isn’t the only thing that Paramount+ is showing off today, as they’ve also released a few stills from Star Trek: Prodigy today — giving us a feel for the animation style and cinematography of the upcoming show.
![characters in star trek prodigy](https://blog.trekcore.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/prodigy-firstlook-01.jpg)
JUNE 17 UPDATE : Four more images, showing some of the beautiful digital landscapes from Prodigy , were released today.
![characters in star trek prodigy](https://blog.trekcore.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/prodigy-landscape-01.jpg)
This animated art design — with lush coloring and a dazzling depth of field — clearly puts Star Trek: Prodigy light-years away from the animated styles of not only the classic 1970’s Animated Series , but this decade’s Star Trek: Lower Decks as well.
While there’s still no air date past “later this year” for Prodigy , this infusion of new information must mean we’re going to see some footage from the upcoming series sometime soon — and with San Diego Comic Con just over a month way, that’s when we’re thinking the next big news day will come for this animated show.
![characters in star trek prodigy](https://blog.trekcore.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/div_spacer.png)
Star Trek: Prodigy will debut on Paramount+ in the United States sometime in late 2021 before later airing on Nickelodeon; the show will also be available on the CTV Sci-Fi Channel in Canada.
Additional international availability has not yet been announced.

Star Trek: Prodigy Crew and Characters Have Deep Connections to Trek History
The new characters of Star Trek: Prodigy are steeped in hidden Trek lore. We break it all down for you...

The next starship crew exploring the Final Frontier of Star Trek has arrived. No, it’s not guest stars for Picard Season 2, or a full break-down of the rest of the Strange New Worlds gang. Instead, after a decent amount of speculation, the full cast and character list for the upcoming animated series Star Trek: Prodigy has been revealed. And, it turns out there are some massive deep cuts to old school Star Trek canon, specifically, The Original Series .
Remember when Spock wore that red visor in the classic Star Trek episode “Is There In Truth No Beauty?” Well, one of the new alien crewmembers on Prodigy is a direct call-back to that alien species. Here’s the details of the new Prodigy crew and how it all connects to the larger Trek universe and timeline.
Mild potential spoilers for Star Trek: Prodigy ahead.
Meet the Star Trek: Prodigy Crew
Paramount+ has given a full breakdown of the cast and characters in Star Trek: Prodigy , the upcoming series from Kevin and Dan Hageman, which is a collaboration between Nickelodeon and Paramount. The story will center around some adolescents who find themselves on board an abandoned starship. The series is set in 2383 (after Voyager and Lower Decks , but two years before the earliest Picard flashbacks). The show is also set in the Delta Quadrant, which means it’s pretty far away from the action of everything happening in the Prime Timeline in the 2380s and 2390s. (I.E. That Romulan Supernova in 2387, is really far away.)
Ad – content continues below
We’ve known for awhile that Star Trek: Voyager ‘s Captain Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) will appear via hologram, but up until now, we haven’t known anything official about any of the new young alien crew members. That is, until now. Here’s who they are! Names and descriptions in quotes come straight from the new Paramount+ press release.
- Rok-Tahk (Rylee Alazraqui) “a Brikar and an unusually bright eight-year-old girl. Rok is a bit shy, but not when it comes to her love for animals.” (Note: this is the Rock-looking character.)
- Dal (Brett Gray) “17 years old and an unknown species, he fancies himself a maverick, who even in the toughest times, holds strong onto his unwavering hope.”
- Zero (Angus Imrie) “is a Medusan: a noncorporeal, genderless, energy-based lifeform. Since others would go mad at the sight of their true self, Zero wears a containment suit they made themselves to protect others.” (We’ll come back to this in a second!)
- Jankom Pog (Jason Mantzouka) “a 16-year-old Tellarite. Tellarites are known to relish an argument, and Jankom is no different. Regardless of opinion, he will always play ‘devil’s advocate’ for the sake of hearing all sides.”
- Gwyn (Ella Purnell) “a 17-year-old Vau N’Akat who was raised on her father’s bleak mining planet and grew up dreaming to explore the stars.”
- Murf ( Dee Bradley Baker) “age and species is unknown but who is an endearing, indestructible blob with curiously good timing and an insatiable appetite for ship parts.”
Star Trek: Prodigy and Its Deep Canon Connections
The species Brikar comes from expanded Trek book canon, specifically a series of Starfleet Academy YA novels published in the ‘90s. The Brikar species first appeared in a book called Worf’s First Adventure . Looks like they’re legit canon now!
Obviously, Tellarites (the pig-like aliens) have been around since the TOS episode “Journey to Babel,” and have more recently appeared fairly prominently in Star Trek: Discovery Season 1 (as well as the Short Treks Harry Mudd episode “The Escape Artist” ). So, we have an idea of how Jankom Pog will act. Maybe?
Some fans think the species Vau N’Akat could be connected to the Founders (shapeshifters) from DS9 , but we don’t know if that’s true. For now the Vau N’Akat and Gwyn are a mystery.
But the most eyebrow-raising inclusion on this list is the fact that Zero — who looks like a robot — is actually a Medusan. Think of his robot-like appearance like a Vorlon encounter suit from Babylon 5 . Which is an upgrade from the box that Medusan had travel inside of in TOS !
In “Is There In Truth No Beauty?” the Medusans were established as fantastic astrogators, despite the fact that they were formless, and the visage of them would drive you utterly nuts. In that episode, the fact that Dr. Miranda Jones (Diana Muldaur) was blind assisted her in dealing with the Medusan ambassador, Kollos. Spock, of course, at one point, did fail to have on his anti-insanity visor ( cool red shades ) and briefly, went bananas. The Medusans have been sparsely mentioned in Trek canon since, though in the Star Trek: Picard episode “Broken Pieces ,” one of the Rios holograms did mention “Medusan Astrogation.”
More broadly, having a young Medusan as part of the crew of Prodigy is not only a cool Easter egg, but also speaks to the meaning of the origins of the alien.

“Is There In Truth No Beauty?” is the first episode in which we learn about the Vulcan concept of IDIC; infinity diversity in infinite combinations. But, since that episode we haven’t “seen” a Medusan since. In many ways, this alien species is the most extreme version of Star Trek’s message of tolerance: a lifeform that humanoids are psychologically unable to handle . Putting this kind of character on a Trek kids’ show is already pretty edgy. And hopefully, this news indicates that Prodigy won’t be a lightened-up version of Trek, but instead, will go boldly into the great cultural and political issues that make the franchise so beloved.
Star Trek: Prodigy is set to debut sometime in 2021 on Paramount+ .

Paramount+ has blown the lid off character details for its upcoming animated kids show Star Trek: Prodigy , revealing names, faces, and voices for those we’ll be seeing on screen.
While we knew Kate Mulgrew was reprising her role as Captain Janeway (in emergency training hologram form), the only other info we’ve known about this show was that it would feature a group of teenage aliens embarking on their own adventure. Let’s break down what we know now thanks to the announcement from StarTrek.com.
![characters in star trek prodigy The cast of Star Trek: Prodigy](https://treknews.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/star-trek-prodigy-cast-717x1024.jpg)
Rylee Alazraqaui ( Doug Unplugs , Home Economics ) voices “Rok-Tahk,” an eight-year-old Brikarian who apparently has a deep love for animals. Rylee is the daughter of voice actor Carlos Alazraqui, and Brikarians are well-known to anyone who has read The New Frontier novels by Peter David.
Brett Gray ( On My Block , When They See Us ) plays “Dal,” a 17-year-old alien of unknown species who is described as a maverick.
Angus Imrie ( The Crown , Emma ) plays the Medusan “Zero,” a non-corporeal, genderless, energy-based lifeform. As such, Zero wears a containment suit to prevent others from going insane. This species was previously seen in The Original Series episode “Is There in Truth No Beauty.”
Jason Mantzoukas ( Big Mouth , Infinite ) plays “Jankom Pog,” a 16-year-old Tellarite (a well-known Star Trek species) who is described as someone who always “plays devil’s advocate for the sake of hearing all sides.”
Ella Purnell ( Army of the Dead , Sweetbitter ) is “Gwyn,” a 17-year-old Vau N’Akat who grew up on a mining planet and dreams of exploring the stars.
Finally, Dee Bradley Baker ( Star Wars: The Clone Wars , American Dad , many other things ) plays the indestructible blob “Murf,” who apparently has an “insatiable appetite” for ships parts.
How or why these characters all come together is still unknown, but the StarTrek.com article notes that “These six young outcasts know nothing about the ship they have commandeered – a first in the history of the Star Trek franchise – but over the course of their adventures together, they will each be introduced to Starfleet and the ideals it represents.”
Paramount+ also released a few screenshots that spotlight various characters and show off the quality of animation.

Star trek prodigy cast and character names and species revealed.
The cast of Star Trek Prodigy, the forthcoming animated series for kids, has been revealed , as have character names and species. The young alien stars of the show include two classic TOS species, and amazingly a species from the Star Trek novels! Continue below for a closer look, including the first still from the series.
![characters in star trek prodigy characters in star trek prodigy](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6XwnXRZJaaIwTuKATaTj_ECVIHw6cdfcWZA04Er6eIx8sItrXk4AkhrPqYDJ_JrjVjPN5UPiZF6x63r1iKr-WFWISHOEBbfp0lIxw7q0iIW5bSp6nOhVdt2t8BkkSd62k4UNnuEZDMwA/w448-h640/Star+Trek+Prodigy+cast.jpeg)
...an unusually bright eight-year-old girl. Rok is a bit shy, but not when it comes to her love for animals.
![characters in star trek prodigy characters in star trek prodigy](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTRNqy-Mhw91JWrny8JrLKoOOKB2KlVv5y5L1KDB0pNvTvpcoQmJuruz74V8gs5Kuer-54dZmWExkTbnMY-ewx41Htl4RIMxaX6pDfNmZC4Ds3vR7RptwTUuUCHrrCZWtK9TnFd9_H_tQ/w400-h168/Star+Trek+Prodigy+still+Rok-Tahk.jpeg)
...a Medusan: a noncorporeal, genderless, energy-based lifeform. Since others would go mad at the sight of their true self, Zero wears a containment suit they made themselves to protect others.
Certainly an upgrade from the last time we saw a Medusan, stuck in a box!
![characters in star trek prodigy characters in star trek prodigy](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyEA49UmK1bkTtVmj8eyk4-hkG-0LbeMu-yPYt-dTCCNtoCRmiFx0w3RcmT3vKGPqyK0E5gjiQYlWXa_lYsXHH1x2moZBTudFH3ZBN45KZFn9C7J0lUM0ioVwp6vCNaYC1PAo8g-Ai8ms/s320/Star+Trek+The+Original+Series+Is+There+in+Truth+No+Beauty+Medusan.jpg)
Tellarites are known to relish an argument, and Jankom is no different. Regardless of opinion, he will always play ‘devil’s advocate’ for the sake of hearing all sides.
Honestly I was expecting this character to be a Talaxian from the look (and would have been glad to get to know that species better too. But I can certainly see him as a Tellarite too. Pog joins a fairly diverse range of looks for the species, which has been reinvented each time a series has used them. He seems to me most aligned with the original TOS look, albeit with the more pronounced tusks seen in the contemporary live-action era versions of the species.

“Murf,” whose age and species is unknown but who is an endearing, indestructible blob with curiously good timing and an insatiable appetite for ship parts.
“Gwyn,” a 17-year-old Vau N’Akat who was raised on her father’s bleak mining planet and grew up dreaming to explore the stars.

“Dal,” 17 years old and an unknown species, he fancies himself a maverick, who even in the toughest times, holds strong onto his unwavering hope.

U.S.S. Protostar crew
![characters in star trek prodigy Characters in Star Trek: Prodigy](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/prodigy_bridge_crew.png)
- Audience Surrogate : Like the target demographic, the crew has no familiarity with the Federation or Starfleet until Hologram Janeway brings them up to speed.
- These kids are nowhere near as skilled or experienced as the crew of the Enterprise , Enterprise-D , Defiant , Voyager , Enterprise NX-01 , Discovery , or even the Cerritos —they're all a bunch of kids and teenagers who are trying to escape from a hellish nightmare from a villain who's desperate for their ship, and only just started to be able to understand each other. Fortunately, some good Character Development helps them to grow, showing they have the potential to be as good as Starfleet.
- They're also vastly different from the crew of the U.S.S. Valiant . Both of them are ships commanded by younger protagonists, all of them equally inexperienced and stressed out by the horrors they're facing, but the Protostar crew learns to overcome their challenges, while everyone in Red Squad blindly follows their captain's orders in spite of how incredibly stupid and egotistical they are and...well, they're all dead, Jim.
- Kid Hero : Dal and Gwyn are the oldest at seventeen years old.
- Locked Out of the Loop : The Diviner has worked to keep them and the rest of his slaves ignorant of the universe beyond Tars Lamora — including the Federation and Starfleet. Thus, Hologram Janeway has to fill them in.
- Ragtag Band of Misfits : This isn't a highly trained Starfleet crew. This isn't even the Bunny-Ears Lawyer crew of the Cerritos . This is a group of kids who commandeered an abandoned starship they have no idea how to fly in a desperate attempt to escape a cruel tyrant.
- Dal and Gwyn get plenty of this.
- Zero and Maj'El get some of this in season 2,
- Significant Wardrobe Shift : All of them don Starfleet uniforms (or a similar paintjob, in Zero's case) in "A Moral Star", reflecting their change from merely trying to survive to actively helping others, just like any member of Starfleet would. They switch back to normal clothing when the crisis is resolved.
- Two Girls to a Team : Gwyn and Rok-Tahk are the two female characters in the team. Though with Zero being genderless and Murph being a Blob Monster , the genders are more equally distributed than in most occurrences of this trope.
Warrant Officer Dal R'El

- Alien Hair : In addition to normal hair, he has a short tentacle growing from the back of his head. It's prehensile, as we see him hand Gwyn a tool with it in "A Moral Star, Part 1".
- Aliens Speaking English : In the two-part season finale, Dal is noted to speak Federation Standard (English), which is a bit odd when one considers he was raised by a Ferengi.
- Badass Driver : In the pilot, he tries to escape Tars Lamora in a loading vehicle, performing several stunts and nearly managing to jump it off the asteroid using an ore chute, only failing because the Diviner disabled the anti-gravity system to stop him.
- Bio-Augmentation : Dr. Jago reveals that Dal is a human augment composed of the recessive DNA of 26 alien species (With those confirmed being Proto- Organian , Klingon, Vulcan, Tellarite, and Andorian).
- Break the Haughty : He accidentally discovers the Kobayashi Maru simulator and figures he can ace it just fine. To his horror, he loses dozens of times and on his last attempt he nearly beats it but foolishly causes the Bird-of-Prey to destroy the Enterprise-D , which causes him to fall into despair. It's only when the hologram of Spock tells him the true purpose of the simulation does Dal finally realize he's messed up by doing everything by himself and not considering the rest of his crew.
- The Captain : He appoints himself captain of Protostar , even though he's less experienced than a first-year cadet. He slowly grows into it.
- He's a far haughtier and ego-driven character at the start of the series, a self-appointed Captain, and someone who's dismissive to his crew at best. The series has him grow out of this, slowly realizing that The Needs of the Many outweigh the needs of the few, and he can't act so half-cocked if he wants to keep those he cares about alive. As Spock's hologram, whose words helps him realize this, puts it:
- Over the course of season 2, he slowly comes to accept that the seat of Captain must be earned, not grabbed, to the point that by the end he decides to become Gwyn's Number One instead when the opportunity to assume command presents itself .
- Contrasting Sequel Main Character : Unlike many Captains from previous Trek series who are experienced officers, Dal is the opposite: being an inexperienced officer, let alone much more inexperienced than a first-year Starfleet cadet, who is reluctantly thrusted to be the Protostar's Captain chair after Chakotay's disappearance. Character Development prevails, however, when he slowly becomes more skilled in his duty as one, but had to learn from much more different methods of captaincy, being that he didn't go to Starfleet Academy, to be on equal footing to his predecessors.
- The Cynic : Years of living on Tars Lemora have soured him on any sort of authority. His first instinct upon learning of the Federation is to point the ship the other way, simply because he can't believe that any organization could be as selfless as Janeway describes them.
- Didn't Think This Through : His main flaw. While he has the drive and vision to escape where others see only despair, he lacks foresight and tends to fly by the seat of his pants.
- Heinz Hybrid : He's revealed to be genetically engineered from a mix of over 20 species.
- Humble Hero : Some of the time anyway. He tries to downplay saving Gwyn as something Janeway made him do, when he actually insisted on it.
- Hypocrite : Dal dismisses Janeway's exposition of the Federation under the belief it's sweet words to veil more self-serving authority like they've been getting on Tars Lamora. After assuming the position of Captain, he dismisses the question that he could be as self-serving and proceeds to throw around his authority while enjoying the perks, It's only through a narrow brush with death via a collapsing star that he drops this trope.
- The Kirk : He wants to be this, but his lack of experience tends to make his more Kirkesque personality traits a liability. Even more telling is that, when he's given the choice to recruit the James Tiberus Kirk for his Kobayashi Maru simulation, he dismisses him because "we already have a captain". Eventually, after some humbling experiences, he comes to realize that the Captaincy isn't a position that can be taken, but must be earned. He decides to let Gwyn serve as Captain of the Prodigy while he takes up the place of her First Officer, much to Chakotay's approval.
- Leader Wannabe : Fancies himself the captain, but the group doesn't know each other well enough for any sort of formal leadership. When he does take charge, his recklessness proves a serious flaw and he nearly gets everyone killed. Having to ask Janeway for help forces some humility onto him, but he's clearly a long way from proper leadership. It takes him failing the Kobayashi Maru simulator so close to actually beating it to realize that he needs their help.
- Leeroy Jenkins : He tends to do things without thinking them through .
- Mysterious Past : Dal is a genetic hybrid of over 20 species (including human), engineered by the disciples of Arik Soong. The question is why they designed him, and how he wound up abandoned and in the care of a travelling Ferengi.
- Dal doesn't trust Holo-Janeway at first, believing the Federation to be another example of a self-serving organization like the Diviner mining operation . His response is to find the brightest red spot on the map and point the ship at it, refusing to heed her warnings, simply for the sake of being contrary. This in turn caused him to nearly fly the ship into a collapsing star.
- His Loose Lips result in a scuffle that causes a prototype shuttlecraft, the Infinity , to fly into the wormhole well ahead of when the crew was supposed to try and rescue Chakotay. While it was meant to be a case of a Stable Time Loop , he accidentally leaves a disruptor rifle behind, changing the results of Chakotay's escape and nearly resulting in the total annihilation of all of reality as a result of the alterations to history, the near-death of Gwyn included , all because he couldn't keep his big gob shut.
- Running Gag : During Season 2, he spends the first four episodes having to be told to read Temporal Mechanics 101, much to his annoyance.
- Wide-Eyed Idealist : Zero states that unlike most of the other prisoners, he has been able to keep hope and believing he will escape one day.

Voiced by: Ella Purnell
- Action Girl : She is shown to be quite skilled in combat in the pilot, briefly taking down the much larger Rok-Tahk.
- Alien Hair : Her "hair" appears to be tentacles that glow from within when using her psychic powers.
- Anti-Villain : She spends most of the first five episodes as an antagonist even while sympathetic to the slaves, believing her father's cause to be just. Him abandoning her in favor of the Protostar is the wake up call to join the good guys in earnest.
- Badass Adorable : A very pretty and endearing Green-Skinned Space Babe who's the fiercest fighter on the team.
- Bioluminescence Is Cool : The lines on her skin glow whenever she's communicating with telepathy, or when she is particularly angry.
- Broken Pedestal : The Diviner ditching her for the Protostar in "Terror Firma" ends any respect she had for him.
- Co-Dragons : She initially shares the role of dragon with Drednok.
- Custom Uniform : As Starfleet ambassador to Solum in Season 2, she wears a unique uniform with a pattern on the yoke that mirrors her heirloom.
- Designer Babies : Is apparently this, having been grown directly from her father’s genetic material with no apparent mother. It is currently unclear if this is how Vau N'Akat typically reproduce.
- Dub Name Change : She is called Gwen/Gwendala in the French dub, probably because Gwyn sounds like " gouine ", a derogatory term for lesbians.
- The Friend Nobody Likes : Starts off as this, being the loyal daughter of the Big Bad , she's taken hostage in the crew's escape and kept in the brig throughout the first few episodes.
- Friend to All Children : When a slave trader brings a Caitian child to Tars Lamora, Drednok takes the offer but Gwyn threatens the slaver, saying that, should he ever bring someone so young again, he'll be enslaved instead. Gwyn is later seen showing the young Caitian a linguistics hologram.
- Heel–Face Turn : Officially undergoes this in "Terror Firma". After her father chooses capturing the ship over saving her life, she later helps the crew escape him.
- Hostage Situation : Does not join the Protostar 's maiden voyage by choice — she was taken hostage by the crew to escape Drednok and his forces.
- Kid from the Future : A variation. Her father traveled back in time and then had her made from his DNA, she later meets the present version of her father.
- Last of Her Kind : Gwyn and her father belong to a mysterious race called the Vau N'Kat, and he states they are the last. It turns out that he is from the future where he was the last and their race is alive and well in the present.
- Locked Out of the Loop : The Diviner hid his search for the U.S.S. Protostar from her, not wanting to risk the Federation influencing Gwyn in a way that would impede his plans.
- Mad Scientist's Beautiful Daughter : She seems to fall into this, being the daughter and a reluctant dragon of the series' first Arc Villain , the Diviner.
- Malaproper : Despite her mastery of countless languages, certain words and phrases escape her. She accuses Dal of being in "cat boots" with Zero when she means "cahoots". She also thinks that a formation of stars is a "constipation" instead of "constellation".
- Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal : Her love for her father overrides any concern she might have for the crew, up until her father leaves her to die in favor of securing the Protostar . When Dal rescues her even though he could have ditched her, she turns against her father completely.
- Morph Weapon : The metallic lattice she wears on her arm is a shapeshifting metal that she controls by thought, willing it into whatever shape she needs. She's demonstrated blade and shield forms when fighting Rok. Besides using it as a weapon, she has also used it as a splint when she broke her leg and as a rope when Dal rescued her from the vines. She can control it over long distances, allowing her to summon it to her even when isolated in different rooms. She could even reassemble it when it is shattered into small pieces, albeit with some difficulty.
- Omniglot : Speaks an enormous variety of languages, without the aid of a universal translator. This makes her a translator for Tars Lamora, although she notes a redundancy here in that Drednok has the programming to do the same.
- The Paragon Always Rebels : The most noble of her father's enforcers, and makes her Heel–Face Turn by the end of "Terror Firma".
- Psychic Block Defense : Gwyn is resistant to telepathy, a trait which seems to be inherent to the Vau N'Akat species. This evidently has limits though, since it wasn't enough to stop the superorganism on "Murder Planet" from reading her mind and figuring out her greatest desire. Presumably, its spores physically infiltrating her body allowed it to bypass the defense.
- While the crew is attempting to escape the gravitational pull of a dying star, she drains the ship's power using the vehicle replicator for her own escape.
- While the others are exploring an alien world, she escapes, takes control of the ship, and contacts her father. Her attempt to escape while the vines have the ship ensnared is unsuccessful and she winds up marooning herself and the other children.
- Statuesque Stunner : Taller than even Hologram Janeway.
- Tyke Bomb : While taking control of the Protostar in episode three, she realizes that her father had been specifically training her in the use of the ship’s controls and technology.
- "Well Done, Daughter!" Gal : Is able to see through an illusion of her father when it tells her it is proud of her.
Warrant Officer Rok-Tahk

- This trait is what led her to bring Murf along on the escape, though she had assumed Murf was capable of communication at the time.
- The superorganism in "Dreamcatcher" uses this to manipulate her by luring her into a trap with the image of dozens of cute fuzzy animals cuddling against her.
- When the crew's recreational holoprograms get mixed up, her elements are from children's holonovel/game based on a vetinary clinic for adorable alien animals.
- To her delight, she's assigned to work on Voyager -A's Cetacean Ops.
- The Baby of the Bunch : Being eight years old, she is the youngest member of the crew.
- The Big Guy : The biggest, toughest, and strongest of the crew by a wide margin, and willing to use it in defense of her friends. Jankom lampshades it in the second episode when Dal sends her to apprehend Gwyn. This becomes a problem in "Time Amok", when everyone figures her as the security officer for this reason, despite her objection.
- Canon Immigrant : She is the first on-screen appearance of a Brikar.
- Contrasting Sequel Main Character : She's the Science Officer of the show, following in the footsteps of Spock, Jadzia Dax, and both pre-promotion Saru and Michael Burnham. Unlike those four, she's an eagerly-excitable kid who slowly discovers her passion for the field, with a leaning towards xenobiology, and is a case of Smarter Than You Look instead of outright being The Smart Guy .
- Cute Giant : She's a Gentle Giant Rock Monster with Innocent Blue Eyes and the voice of an excitable kid.
- Face of a Thug : She knows she's scary-looking to smaller humanoid races at first glance, and she doesn't like it.
- Innocent Blue Eyes : She has large, blue eyes, and is the youngest and more innocent member of the crew.
- Meaningful Name : She's a rock that can talk.
- Mighty Glacier : Strong and tough, but not particularly fast. Gwyn easily dances around her when they fight in the pilot, even though she can't damage Rok in turn, and Rok only manages to stop her because the sudden movement of the ship knocks Gwyn off balance, allowing Rok to grab her. Their second fight plays out similarly, with Gwyn having to stall until she can find a way to counter Rok's impenetrable defense, and the fight ends as soon as Rok can pin her down.
- Nigh-Invulnerable : A truck-sized boulder dropped on her head does absolutely nothing, and Gwyn's blade deflects harmlessly off her rocky skin.
- Running Gag : In Season 2, she tries to stay out of her old crew's antics to avoid getting into trouble, not wanting to jeopardize her chances of getting into Starfleet Academy. It doesn't work.
- Samus Is a Girl : Dal initially mistakes her for an adult male before they encounter the U.S.S. Protostar and her translation devices .
- The Slow Path : Thanks to a temporal anomaly both slowing time and halting her ageing, she spent weeks, months, possibly even years alone on the ship, learning the necessary disciplines to solve the threat of the week.
- Smarter Than You Look : Despite being both young and a rock monster, she is smarter than people tend to give her credit for, though naive. In "Time Amok", she ends up spending years learning various scientific disciplines while stuck in a temporal anomaly that causes her to experience time very slowly.
- Tertiary Sexual Characteristics : The pink skin and shape of her face are the main ways of identifying her gender, other than the Vocal Dissonance .
- Took a Level in Badass : In “Time Amok”, her time is slowed down by a temporal anomaly, forcing her to teach herself advanced programming, engineering, and mathematics to save Janeway and repair the warp core.
- Top-Heavy Guy : Rok's upper body is huge, but she has stubby little legs.
- Vocal Dissonance : Has a giant, stoney body… and the voice of a child. That said, this appears to be a function of the universal translator, as her voice without it is still the deep, craggy voice you'd expect from a large rock monster.
- Wrestling Monster : She used to be the monster in a "Hero versus Monster" staged fight arena, but after she got sick of being huge and scary, she turned one show into a slapstick farce. It pleased the crowd, but not her owners, who sold her to Tars Lamora in punishment for going off-script.
- Younger Than They Look : Despite being the largest of the crew, she is also the youngest at eight years old.
Warrant Officer Zero

Voiced by: Angus Imrie
- Ace Pilot : Seems to have real skill at piloting, a trait stated to be common among their species when they were originally introduced. Downplayed, as unlike their counterpart in The Original Series , they have to figure out the controls on the fly, instead of having someone experienced with the controls to piggyback off of.
- And I Must Scream : Downplayed . They aren't in agony, but Season 2 has them struggle with the fact that they can't physically feel the sensation of touch due to their nature as an energy being.
- Brown Note Being : Zero's unfiltered true form causes irreversible madness in almost all sentient beings who look upon them. This is a step down from the last time there was a Medusan in the series, who also caused death soon after exposure. Somewhat justified as it was stated seeing the Medusan true form would do that to humans . Some species, like Vulcans, were capable of viewing Medusans, but only with the use of a specially filtered visor. Zero is also a fair bit younger than the one Spock encountered, which might blunt the effect.
- Beware the Nice Ones : Possibly the most civil member of the crew, but is more than willing to Mind Rape the evil overlord who’s been keeping them captive for years...
- Brutal Honesty : Zero has no filter whatsoever.
- The Bus Came Back : The first on-screen appearance of a Medusan since the species' debut in an episode of the original series.
- Canon Immigrant : Zero's name and character concept as a non-corporeal alien in a containment suit seems to be lifted straight from the unrealized "Star Trek: Final Frontier" cartoon.
- Gadgeteer Genius : Manages to build a functional containment suit out of random scrap that can also hover and emote to an extent... without hands or even a corporeal form.
- Hive Mind : They mention in "Kobayashi" that being taken from a Medusan hive mind was sad for them.
- Humanity Ensues : In season 2, Zero gets to spend a several episodes in a humanoid form, thanks to visiting a planet where artificial bodies can be grown for non-corporeal beings. It doesn't last, however, because the bodies can't leave the planet without degrading, eventually forcing Zero to return to their (improved) containment suit.
- Little Green Man in a Can : Zero wears a containment suit to prevent other people from seeing their true form.
- The Medic : They're placed in Voyager -A's sickbay to work alongside The Doctor.
- Mind Rape : The Diviner used them for this against their will, exposing slaves to their true form to render them compliant.
- My God, What Have I Done? : Zero takes great satisfaction in forcing the Diviner to see their true, unshielded form, but they're horrified and immediately retreat to the containment suit once they realize that Gwyn has caught the reflection.
- Nightmare Fetishist : They find everything in the galaxy absolutely fascinating, even the stuff that's trying to kill them. Especially the stuff that's trying to kill them.
- No Biological Sex : Medusans are neither male nor female.
- Non-Action Guy : Zero's body isn't built for combat. Their one attempt to fight a security drone hand-to-hand was met with a No-Sell , and their aim with a phaser is terrible. They do have one potent weapon but they're understandably reluctant to use it... most of the time.
- Non-Human Non-Binary : Zero flat out states they don't have a gender due to having No Biological Sex . They are referred to with they/them pronouns.
- No Sense of Personal Space : In a telepathic sense. Zero has no problem casually reading the minds of the rest of the crew, and even sees the fact that they're friends as a reason to do so, rather than having any expectation of privacy. Having grown up in a Hive Mind that didn't have regular contact with sentient species, Zero sees this as typical behavior.
- The Smart Guy : Zero is the most scientifically-knowledgeable of the crew when they first come together. In "Time Amok", they have already figured out the temporal anomaly and how to correct it within minutes of it happening.
- Telepathy : Zero communicates telepathically and can read minds, which allows them to get around the lack of a universal translator. Zero's suit also appears to have some means of projecting their voice, however, since Zero can be heard over comms.
- Verbal Tic : "Hoot hoot" seems to be Zero's way of expressing excitement and/or amusement.
Warrant Officer Jankom Pog
![characters in star trek prodigy https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1648c0fd_6223_4e21_9634_1b5c5ff4e077.jpeg](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1648c0fd_6223_4e21_9634_1b5c5ff4e077.jpeg)
Voiced by: Jason Mantzoukas
- Artificial Limbs : His right hand has been replaced with a prosthetic multi tool.
- Bait-and-Switch : "How is this even a debate? Rescuing the miners is a bad call...that Jankom Pog couldn't be happier to make with you dumb-dumbs!"
- Big Eater : The second he learns that the replicators don't require money, he orders a massive plate of Tellarite cuisine.
- Commander Contrarian : Argues simply for the sake of it, even pointing out that it's better to have someone giving an opposing viewpoint than an unthinking Yes-Man . Dal lampshades that it's typical for a Tellarite .
- Contrasting Sequel Main Character : As The Engineer of the series, he stands out from being the first fully-alien character to occupy this role (second if you count B'elanna, who's half-Klingon on her mother's side), and he's notably a lot more argumentative and gruff compared to his predecessors—even more so than B'elanna and Reno at their worst.
- The Engineer : Like Scotty, Geordi, O'Brien, B'elanna, Trip, Reno, and Rutherford before him, Jankom is the go-to-guy for getting things fixed.
- Extendable Arms : Can launch his prosthetic hand via grappling wire.
- Also, he's the Engineer in a "Trek" show, so... natch .
- Humans Are Ugly : The Holo Janeway is the first image of a human he's ever seen, and he expresses disgust at her appearance. Janeway gets a good dig in response, which he approves of.
- Insult of Endearment : He sometimes calls his crewmates "dumb-dumbs". No surprise coming from a Tellarite.
- Percussive Maintenance : Explicitly names the trope as part of his technique.
- Really 700 Years Old : He was born before Tellar even joined the Federation, having been preserved as a teenager through cryostasis.
- Sleeper Starship : Jankom was part of a pre-Federation deep space expedition, wherein orphans were gathered up and launched into deep space in hibernation.
- Small Name, Big Ego : He starts putting on airs after learning his people were a founding member of the Federation, claiming it makes him "practically royalty". However, when he finally meets another Tellarite, he's not only mocked for this attitude, but told that his last name means "runt" and that he's pretty much at the bottom of the social ladder.
- Third-Person Person : Almost always refers to himself in the third person. We eventually learn that this was a habit he developed as a result of having to deal with a maintenance robot that could only understand him if he gave his full name.
- Top-Heavy Guy : Not as extreme as Rok, but he's built rather stout with a disproportionate upper body.
- Younger Than They Look : He's listed in official materials as being 16 but, being a Tellarite and all, he looks like a 30- to 40-year-old by human standards, to say nothing of the time he spent in stasis on a sleeper ship as a child. In terms of birth date, Jankom is older than the entire crew combined, having been born before the Tellarites even joined the Federation.
Captain Kathryn Janeway (Emergency Training Hologram)

- Costume Evolution : In "A Moral Star", she switches from the original Janeway's Deep Space Nine / Voyager era uniform to the Prodigy era uniform when the rest of the crew suits up for the first time. Then she has an Evil Costume Switch when Drednok reprograms her.
- Deadpan Snarker : Janeway's wit is clearly integrated into the program, as seen when she trades barbs with Jankom.
- Hard Light : At first, this is averted, even though Starfleet holograms usually have the capability. Gwyn adds the functionality to her program in "A Moral Star".
- Heroic Sacrifice : She sacrifices herself to destroy the Protostar and the Living Construct, saving the rest of the crew and all of Starfleet.
- Laser-Guided Amnesia : Her memory files have been intentionally corrupted, leaving her unaware of her past time with the Protostar when it was actually crewed by Starfleet. All we know is that Drednok and the Diviner were somehow involved, though Drednok denies being responsible for her memory loss. Season 2 reveals the real Janeway was responsible, to ensure a Stable Time Loop and prevent any more temporal catastrophes, which Holo-Janeway agreed to.
- Dal and the others initially didn't inform her of their true status as refugees escaping the Diviner. Subverted in Episode 8 when he finally admits it to her.
- She is not aware of the huge chunk of Classified Information in the Protostar's computer until Gwyn decodes it.
- Loyal to the Position : She immediately switches sides to serve Gwyn, after Gwyn rewrites her programming to recognize Gwyn as the captain. Subverted when Drednok rewrites her, as she seems to be on Drednok and the Diviner's side but is in fact in appearance only and still fully loyal to the Protostar crew.
- Manchurian Agent : Unwittingly has been against the crew from the very start due to having been influenced by the Construct, culminating in her taking over the ship and steering it directly to the Dauntless and Federation space. The real Janeway purges the infection which also restores her memory of what happened to Chakotay and the Protostar.
- The Mentor : Acts as one to the fledgling crew. As she explains, she only maintains the lower-level systems, while operation of the ship as a whole falls on the crew.
- Ms. Exposition : Introduces the children to the world of Star Trek as a whole, specifically the Federation, Starfleet, and the values they represent. She also has a tendency to introduce the theme of the episode.
- Must Have Caffeine : A trait inherited from the original Janeway; she'll generate a cup of coffee out of thin air, despite being a hologram.
- My God, What Have I Done? : She's horrified when she realizes that she was secretly programmed to hijack the ship and get it to the Federation if the crew wavered and deactivates herself in remorse. When the real Janeway shows up, she says she knows exactly how bad the holo-Janeway is beating herself up.
- Mythology Gag : When discussing the holodeck with Dal and Jankom, she mentions having a preference to a Jane Eyre -like program, which the flesh Janeway used on Star Trek: Voyager .
- Projected Woman : Not the true Janeway, but a hologram with her form and personality. She is aware that she is a facsimile of Janeway.
- Super Gullible : Janeway takes the crew at their word that they're cadets after drawing that conclusion herself, despite it being a fairly transparent lie the real Janeway no doubt would have seen right through. She's genuinely shocked when Dal admits the truth. Presumably, like the Doctor, she would have to be in service for a while to develop beyond her base programming.
- Token Human : Token image of a human, at least. So more like the closest thing to a human.
- Took a Level in Badass : In "A Moral Star", Gwyn upgrades her program with security protocols to prevent her from being reprogrammed and the ability to make her projection solid, allowing her to fight.
- Trigger Phrase : The word "help", regardless of context, summons her program, though she can also respond to her name and is apparently consistently "on" even if her avatar is not physically present.
- What Would X Do? : During "Terror Firma" when the planet's vines are attacking the ship, holo-Janeway considers what the physical Janeway would do to defend the ship. "Clean house."

- Badass Adorable : Post "metamurfosis" not only can he single handedly ace combat simulations which give leave other Starfleet Academy hopefuls ducking behind console units he can do so without phasers. He's also still about the size and build of a human toddler and and has a similarly cheerful disposition too.
- Batman Can Breathe in Space : A minute or two in the vacuum of space has no effect on him.
- Bizarre Alien Biology : Feeds on metal, can survive in a vacuum, is so tough that he can contain a compressed protostar in his stomach, and undergoes a chrysalis in the latter half of season 1 that transforms him into a bipedal form.
- Blob Monster : And an adorable one to boot!
- Extreme Omnivore : He loves to eat metal, devouring whatever tools or metal objects he can get his mouth on.
- Hidden Depths : Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to jazz singer Mr. Murfy No Shoes!
- Nigh-Invulnerable : Eating a box of photon grenades doesn't harm him at all. Gives him gas, though.
- No Name Given : His species was not named in an intelligible language onscreen until "Asylum" at which point he is identified as a mellanoid slime worm.
- Rubber Man : Shows some of these traits in his more humanoid form.
- Team Pet : Acts as this, as he plays no real part in the running of the ship. After his "metamurfosis", however, he becomes a more active combatant and security chief.
- The Unintelligible : Translator Microbes have no effect on his language and no one can understand it, assuming he even has a language. This begins to fade in the second season, Rok realises as Murph's species is aquatic and Voyager 's cetacean navigator Gillian is able to understand Murph, after this Gywn starts to pick up the gist of he's saying, sometimes.

Voiced by: Robert Beltran
- The Captain : Of the Protostar , and then Voyager -A .
- A Father to His Men : Chakotay may no longer be a Maquis, but one thing that hasn't changed is his desire to protect those under his command. When he's stranded alone and all of his crew are long dead, it breaks him.
- Friendship Moment : He gives Janeway a gift as a commemorative celebration of the 14th anniversary of her first command.
- Rank Up : He's become a Captain since his return from the Delta Quadrant.
- Reimagining the Artifact : Chakotay's depiction on his native series was rife with Native American stereotypes note Since The Alleged Expert who helped create the character was actually a fraud— one that had been exposed by the Washington Post prior to the series that the writers didn't bother to read up on , and his role in the series lessened (partly due to complaints from his actor and due to the presence of Seven of Nine ) even as those stereotypes were repeatedly played down. His character's disappearance is the central mystery for the first season, then he's given a significantly larger role in Season 2 that gives greater focus on his role as The Captain and his friendship with Admiral Janeway, the realities of being A Father to His Men taking a toll on him when they're all tragically killed and leave him alone in the universe for decades , and the Native stereotypes being abscond entirely.
- So Proud of You : When Dal willingly steps aside as Captain of the Prodigy to let Gwyn take up the Captain's Chair, Chakotay looks at his young charge with pride.
- Took a Level in Cynic : Being stranded for over a decade, alone, and with his entire crew dead has left poor Chakotay completely broken and hopeless, unable to take the Protostar back to Federation space out of concern the Living Construct will destroy all he knows. It takes Dal and the others to lift his spirits and get him back to his old self.
- Uncertain Doom : The Protostar ran into a temporal anomaly that shot it into the future after Solum's devastating civil war following first contact with Starfleet. The ship was captured and rigged as a Trojan Horse against the Federation, but Chakotay sent it back to the past on autopilot before the Vau N'Akat could board it. What happened to him after that isn't revealed. Things are further muddled by the creation of a second anomaly that leads to a point in the timeline prior to Chakotay launching the Protostar , so there's an iteration of Chakotay that is definitely still alive and a later one that may or may not be. His survival is then confirmed — and thanks to some temporal shenanigans that create a Stable Time Loop , he's returned to Earth.
U.S.S. Protostar (NX-76884)
![characters in star trek prodigy https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/uss_protostar.jpg](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/uss_protostar.jpg)
- Cardboard Prison : Gwyn escapes the brig two episodes in a row because of the obvious limitations of the Force-Field Door .
- Cool Starship : Naturally. She draws traits from quite a few Starfleet vessels: a compact size reminiscent of the Defiant , a hull design similar to the Nova-class like the Equinox , and nacelles that move during protowarp like Voyager . In addition, she has a third nacelle hidden in the engineering hull that emerges during protowarp.
- Critical Staffing Shortage : Zero estimates that the ship would likely be crewed by twenty people under normal circumstances. It's presently crewed by five whose qualifications lag far behind actual Starfleet officers.
- Driving Question : How the Protostar ended up buried beneath Tars Lamora, and what happened to the original crew, is the mystery that drives the first season.
- Dyson Sphere : Played with. The Protostar has a compressed protostar powering its protowarp engine.
- Fish out of Temporal Water : Zig-zagged. As revealed in "Preludes", during her original mission under Chakotay, the Protostar was pulled through an unstable temporal rift and ended up fifty years into the future, where it was captured by the Vau N'Akat. After they installed the Living Construct onboard, Chakotay was able to remotely send the ship back through the rift to keep it from being used against Starfleet. The ship ended up in the 2360s and buried beneath Tars Lamora, where it remained until found by Dal and Rok in the pilot episode (set in 2383). The Protostar has thus managed to wind up back to a point after it was declared lost, just with some troubling future tech and a missing crew.
- Force-Field Door : Like many vessels in Star Trek , the brig uses a force field door to keep prisoners in. Like many vessels in Star Trek , it can't keep a prisoner contained when it loses power.
- The Heavy : With the Diviner defeated and not as big of a threat (despite remaining as the Big Bad for the second half of Season 1) the ship and its systems (including Hologram Janeway) become the biggest threat when the crew discovers its true nature as a Trojan Horse against Starfleet.
- Hope Bringer : Zero describes the ship as a reason for hope and its first flight in the hands of the crew results in cheers from the other enslaved workers at Tars Lamora, by the time of "Starstruck", the Diviner and Drednok have had to suppress an uprising. Even the Diviner himself calls the ship "salvation", just for a different reason.
- Hour of Power : The protostar reactor can shoot the Protostar 4,000 light years across space in just a few minutes, but then immediately powers down and needs time to become operable again. Dialog in "A Moral Star, Part 1" indicates that this takes around ten minutes if a rapid recharge sequence is activated, and presumably a fair bit longer if the ship can't devote all its resources to the task.
- Ludicrous Speed : The ship's protostar reactor allows the ship to achieve protowarp, speed far exceeding regular warp drive. Spending mere minutes in protowarp allows the Protostar to travel 4,000 light years. To put that in perspective, Voyager would have taken 75 years to travel 70,000 light years, so at normal warp speeds a distance of 4,000 light years would equal a journey of slightly over four years.
- MacGuffin : The Diviner covets the ship for some reason, and even knowing what it is capable of, it is not readily apparent why. It turns out that the ship itself isn't as important as the fact that Starfleet will want it back, which is why the Diviner intends to use it as a Trojan Horse .
- Matter Replicator : In addition to standard food replicators, the Protostar has a vehicle replication bay that can assemble an entire shuttle in under an hour.
- Non-Standard Character Design : The Protostar is unusual among Starfleet ships in that her navigational deflector is mounted on the underside of the saucer instead of the engineering hull. Its shuttlebay mounted forward instead of aft as is common in Starfleet design, seemingly to accommodate the retractable third nacelle which takes up most of the engineering section, which is presumably also why the navigational deflector had to be relocated. Finally, she's rather small for her design, seemingly meant for a crew in the double digits, and is heavily automated on top of that for ease of use.
- No Ontological Inertia : A technological variant. Once the Living Construct is taken out of the vicinity and destroyed, the virus it spread to the Starfleet armada ceases its effect and the ships return to normal.
- No OSHA Compliance : The vehicle replicator will keep replicating while there are people on the floor, hanging off the fabrication arms, or even inside the unfinished vehicle as it's being constructed.
- Pintsized Powerhouse : She's rather small for a Starfleet vessel, comparable in size to the Defiant . Like the Defiant , she's overpowered for her size, possessing two warp cores and a third reactor containing a protostar, hence the name. The former are required to stabilize the latter, which requires half the ship's power at any given moment. She's also capable of impressive Beam Spam , firing multiple simultaneous phaser beams from one array.
- The Power of the Sun : The protostar reactor contains a compressed protostar, used as a high-tech booster rocket to give the ship a huge boost of speed in protowarp.
- Starship Luxurious : Downplayed. It's relatively spartan, befitting such a small vessel, with communal bunks and a single mess hall. However, the captain's quarters are huge, with a double bed, terminals, and plenty of storage space. It also has space for a holodeck.
- Trojan Horse : The Diviner hid a device on the ship that uploads a virus to any Starfleet vessel that the Protostar establishes an uplink with. Once infected, the systems go haywire, to the point of causing any available weapons systems to either self-target the vessel and cause it to destroy itself, or target nearby Federation ships if that isn't an option. A deep space communications outpost the crew stop at, once infected, destroyed itself in minutes once the virus took hold.
Holodeck Characters

Kobayashi Maru Crew
Voiced by: gates mcfadden (dr. beverly crusher), nichelle nichols (nyota uhura, archive recordings), rené auberjonois (odo, archive recordings), leonard nimoy (spock, archive recordings), james doohan (montgomery scott, archive recordings).
A crew assembled for Dal’s attempt at the Kobayashi Maru simulation, comprised of some of the finest officers in Starfleet history. For tropes related to their original appearances, please see their respective pages.
- Uhura and Scotty
- Beverly Crusher and The ''Enterprise''-D
- Fake Shemp : Spock, Scotty, Odo, and Uhura’s dialogue are composed of audio recordings from their respective series and films.
- The Enterprise -D is used as the base ship for the test, while the Klingons use Birds of Prey. At the time the episode aired, the D had been destroyed in battle with the Klingons (to be more precise, her stardrive section suffered a warp core breach after a narrow victory while the saucer crash-landed and was no longer spaceworthy). Star Trek: Picard revealed in Season 3 that Geordi had secretly rebuilt her .
- Scotty is seen wearing a naval-style uniform from the later TOS-era films, while the rest of the cast wear their uniforms from their respective shows.
- The Mentor : Spock takes on the role at the end of Kobayashi to give Dal crucial advice.
- The McCoy : Crusher fulfill this role in the Kobayashi, advocating that they should save lives, despite the potential political consequences.
Voiced by: Michaela Dietz
- Contrasting Sequel Antagonist : She initially starts out as this in contrast to Nick Locarno (who previously commanded the original Nova Squadron) and Tim Watters (who commanded Nova Squad's successor, Red Squad). She shares their arrogance, but it's due to a deciding dislike for the Protostar crew rather than a significant ego despite being way in over their head. Moreover, Maj'El at least mellows out and successfully manages to befriend (and eventually join) the Protostar crew in saving the universe, while Nick got expelled and was later killed by his own stubborn inability to accept responsibility for his failings, while Watters died due to his own stubbornness and took almost his entire, blindly-loyal squad with him.
- Contrasting Sequel Main Character : To Star Trek: Lower Decks ' own resident Vulcan, T'Lyn. Both are Vulcans who have very non-Vulcan behavior (T'Lyn being willing to bend the rules just a bit using emotional reasoning, Maj'El having an arrogant demeanor towards the Protostar crew) that ended up in Starfleet (though T'Lyn's was not voluntary) and wind up with a Dysfunction Junction crew due to varying circumstances (T'Lyn got assigned there while Maj'El wound up trying to get them in trouble and nearly destroyed all of reality in the process ). T'Lyn at least is a bit more affable towards her new team at first before fully embracing them, while it takes Maj'El a bit to warm up to the Protostar crew before she becomes their closest ally.
- Defrosting Ice Queen : She first acts with hostility toward the "Protostar" crew, pointedly ignoring them on their first encounter, then actively trying to thwart them and never lacking any occasion to insult or belittle them. After a while however she warms up to them (especially Zero), and ends considering them her friends.
- Heel–Face Turn : She begins as antagonist to the "Protostar" crew before helping them and eventually joining them.
- Heroic Lineage : According to Word of God, she's a descendant of T'Pau, who led a peaceful revolution on Vulcan that toppled a corrupt government, averted a catastrophic war and helped bring about the establishment of the Federation, and went on to become one of the planet's most revered leaders . Fittingly, Maj'El herself plays a key role in helping to save not only the Federation, but the entire universe from destruction.
- Mythology Gag : Her name is a reference to Majel Barrett , the wife of Gene Roddenberry who played the original "Number One" and Christine Chapel in Star Trek: The Original Series and Lwaxanna Troi in Star Trek: The Next Generation .
- Telepathy : As with other Vulcans. Her abilities are enhanced around other telepaths, allowing her to develop a telepathic bond with Zero.
Tars Lamora
The diviner.

Voiced by: John Noble
- Of the emotionally cold variety. So awful is his treatment of his daughter that an illusion of him mildly praising her is an immediate red flag.
- One episode later, he (albeit with some remorse) chooses claiming the Protostar over rescuing Gwyn from the vines.
- Arc Villain : Set up as the primary threat the children will face. Rules Tars Lamora with an iron fist and desires the U.S.S. Protostar for mysterious reasons. Is ultimately defeated in the first mid-season finale.
- Big Bad : Of the first season.
- Broken Pedestal : He was actually on the pro -Federation side during the controversy that erupted following first contact, excited by the promises they offered. However, when the debate turned into a destructive civil war and the Federation refused to take sides , he saw this as a betrayal, which developed into a fanatical hatred for them after the war almost wiped his people out.
- Dark Lord on Life Support : Spends much of the pilot in a tank of some sort. He trades the tank for a suit in the following episode. It has lines full of some kind of vital fluid; when one is severed, he's weakened and sputtering.
- Evil Is Petty : When he forces a Hostage for MacGuffin scenario on the crew, his intention is to leave them on the asteroid with no way to escape. When they instead barter for the Rev-12, he accepts, only to destroy its power generator on his way out so they'll all die, just because he has that much contempt for his slaves.
- Evil Old Folks : A frail old man who is nonetheless a brutal slave driver and a vile racist.
- Fantastic Racism : Views anyone not of his own species as a lesser being. His plan would save his race at the cost of many others even though diplomacy would work just as well, just because he doesn't care if they live or die.
- Fate Worse than Death : He's driven insane by exposure to Zero's true form , and reduced to a prisoner within his own damaged mind as a result. He eventually recovers, albeit after being amnesic for some time.
- Friend-or-Idol Decision : Is faced with one in "Terror Firma": claiming the Protostar or rescuing his daughter. He chooses the former, though he at least has the decency to regret that decision when Gwyn calls him out on it later.
- Hidden Agenda Villain : The Protostar is integral to his plans in some fashion, to the point he won't even risk damaging it.
- Is beaten the first time when Zero, the being he used to Mind Rape miners into submission for years, turns their power against him.
- He's ultimately killed at Asencia's hands with the very weapon he gave Gwyn.
- Hope Crusher : Flat-out states that "hope has no purpose" on Tars Lamora.
- He thinks the Federation are hypocrites and liars for preaching about a better future. Pretty rich coming from a guy who is everything he accuses them of being and worse. This goes double when his true plan is revealed. He sees the Federation as having ruined the future of his people through first contact, when he and others like him rejecting their ideology of coexistence is what led his people to ruin.
- As Gwyn points out, rather than talk to the Federation about how First Contact will cause a devastating civil war that will end up destroying his homeworld in the future, he plans to use the Protostar as a Trojan Horse to destroy the entire Federation , causing mass death and devastation on an even grander scale than what happened on Solum, trading one catastrophe for another.
- I Owe You My Life : He releases Admiral Janeway (actually Dal in her body) from her restraints after entering the room with the apparent intention to kill her and explains that while he is not abandoning his mission, he is still humbled by her kindness and feels it necessary to repay her for saving his life.
- It's All About Me : He only cares about himself and his mission, and will exploit anyone he has to in order to accomplish it.
- Jerk with a Heart of Jerk : Every time he shows signs of Hidden Depths , such as expressing concern for his daughter's safety, he promptly throws it away in pursuit of his goals. And that goal is to save his own people by destroying another.
- Lack of Empathy : His daughter and maybe Drednok are the only beings he shows any regards for, and even the former is highly conditional, as is shown when he abandons her for the Protostar . His ultimate plan to use the Protostar as a Trojan Horse to make Starfleet tear itself apart would cause far more devastation than what happened on Solum, and he rejects Gwyn's point that he could just talk to the Federation to prevent the disaster because he seemingly has that little regard for any beings not his own species.
- Last of His Kind : He claimed to have been the last of the Vau N'Akat until he created Gwyn. The truth is more complicated: he comes from an alternate future where First Contact with his people by the Federation caused a division between those who wanted to join and those who didn't, devastating their world. He and ninety nine others traveled back in time to use the Protostar to destroy Starfleet before that could happen, though his companions were lost in transit and presumed dead. So his species still exists in the present, but as far as he knows he's the last future Vau N'Akat. Until he was found by Asencia.
- He blames Starfleet for the destruction of his people, as they tore themselves apart in a civil war over isolationism vs acceptance. Everything we've seen of the Diviner suggests people as regressive as he is now are the reason his people destroyed themselves. This is made even worse by the fact that the Diviner is keenly aware that the worst elements of his society are the reasons it crumbled, as he was on the opposite side of the conflict until there was barely anyone left.
- His rationale for Gwyn betraying him is "She met a boy." Even if one were to be extremely charitable towards Dal as a positive influence, Gwyn's Heel–Face Turn was a Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal brought on by the Diviner prioritizing the Protostar over her, a fact he even acknowledged in the mid-season finale. At best, it was Dal's kidnapping of her that put her in a position where he had to choose his mission over her.
- Non-Action Big Bad : He's not much good in a fight, and relies on Drednok to bust heads on his behalf.
- Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist : He claims the Protostar to be the salvation of his people, but his actions demonstrate a contempt for others that sails past disregard into actual malice. He causes pain and suffering because he can, not because he feels it's necessary. "A Moral Star" reveals his people destroyed themselves in a civil war after first contact with Starfleet, and the Diviner traveled back in time to destroy the entire Federation just to safeguard the future of his own people, showing no regard for the lives he would ruin.
- Ominous Floating Castle : His base of operations on Tars Lemora, the Rev-12, doubles as a starship.
- Powered Armor : His life support armor seems to compensate for his physical weakness, allowing him to make an impressive leap in "Terror Firma" when escaping the vines.
- Psychic Block Defense : He is resistant to telepathy, a trait which seems to be inherent to the Vau N'Akat species. Zero is only able to divine a basic intent from attempting to read his mind, without any specific details. Like Gwyn, this doesn't protect him from the spores of the telepathic organism on "Murder Planet".
- Red and Black and Evil All Over : The life support suit he dons in "Starstruck" certainly gives off this vibe, as does the design of his starship base.
- Redemption Equals Death : He tries to save Gwyn from the Vindicator and is killed for it.
- Set Right What Once Went Wrong : He is from the future, from a time where his people destroyed themselves in a civil war after learning that they weren't alone in the universe. He intends to prevent the civil war by preventing first contact. Unfortunately, his solution to that problem is to destroy the entire Federation.
- Start of Darkness : He was actually in favor of joining the Federation and bringing Solum into the interstellar community until the civil war went out of control. His resentment of Starfleet not intervening lead him to believe that they were liars and traitors.
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute : Confirmed by the writers to be one of Khan Noonien Singh , as a powerful tyrant who's trying to save his people. He also has a lot in common with Nero , being the Last of His Kind from the future who seeks revenge on the Federation at any cost.
- Truly Single Parent : He created Gwyn as an Opposite-Sex Clone of himself to complete his mysterious mission if necessary after his death.
- Villainous Cheekbones : His are quite pronounced, and he's most definitely a villain.

- Arch-Enemy : He seems to have a specific hatred of Dal. He bullies him while Dal is a prisoner on Tars Lamora, tries to kill him during their escape attempt, and aims for him first when attempting to gun down the crew on the vine planet.
- Arm Cannon : His hands can turn into blasters.
- Combat Tentacles : Armed with a pair of these on his back.
- A Dog Named "Dog" : Drednok is also the name of his "species". Each Vau N'Akat that went back in time brought one along.
- The Dragon : He's the Diviner's second in command and enforcer, though he initially shares this role with Gwyn.
- The Dreaded : Everyone on Tars Lamora is terrified of him, and for good reason.
- Evil Overlooker : He looms over the Protostar in the opening credits.
- Flat Character : The Vindicator's Drednok, having not been active as long as the Diviner's and forced to stay in hiding for most of that time, lacks the sadistic edge of the original, being a mere bodyguard/muscle for the Vindicator.
- The Heavy : Keeps the Diviner's slaves in line and is capable of going up against a freaking starship .
- Love Is a Weakness : Shown to believe this in a flashback to Gwyn's birth. He attempts to discourage the Diviner from creating a child by arguing that his emotional attachment to her could be used against him. He directly tells Gwyn that creating her was the Diviner's greatest mistake.
- Mecha-Mooks : One of many Killer Robots built by the Vau N'Akat during their civil war.
- Morph Weapon : His body can shift into a starship-grade particle weapon.
- Names to Run Away from Really Fast : His name sounds a lot like dreadnought , and boy does he live up to it.
- Off with His Head! : Decapitated by the Caitian child, of all characters, in "A Moral Star, Part 2".
- One-Winged Angel : Drednok normally looks vaguely humanoid, but when he's forced into battle in the pilot, he reveals himself to actually be a quadrupedal Starfish Robot armed with two Combat Tentacles and various ranged weaponry.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning : His eyes are red and he is dangerous.
- Remote Body : Simply knowing where the Protostar is allows him to transmit a copy of himself to the ship to be assembled by the vehicle replicator, even when he's thousands of light years away.
- Set Right What Once Went Wrong : Traveled back in time with the Diviner to recover the Protostar and use it against Starfleet.
- Shout-Out : The "Dreadnoks" are a villainous outlaw biker gang turned mercenary troupe in G.I. Joe .
- SkeleBot 9000 : Design-wise, he's a cross between a Terminator and General Greivous .
- Soft-Spoken Sadist : Barely ever raises his voice, and is a nasty piece of work.

U.S.S. Dauntless crew
Vice-admiral kathryn janeway.
![characters in star trek prodigy https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vice_admiral_janeway.png](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vice_admiral_janeway.png)
The commanding officer of the U.S.S. Voyager -A, and the person on whom Hologram Janeway's personality and appearance are based on. Formerly commanded the U.S.S. Voyager and the U.S.S. Dauntless .
- The Ace : She's commanding a Dauntless class starship, has an entire compliment of elite officers at her side, and manages to persuade the Federation into letting a group of alien refugees join her as Warrant Officers to rescue one of her oldest friends by successfully arguing before the entire Federation Council about the Protostar 's crew's efforts to save an organization they never knew existed for so long. Not only that, but she manages to launch another starship lineage from her original vessel by commissioning a new Voyager — a distinction not afforded to any other vessel besides the Enterprise before her.
- Action Girl : When her ship's invaded, Janeway can still kick ass with the best of them, even going full "Macrocosm" (complete with the same tank-top look) on intruding aliens.
- The Chains of Commanding : She always took responsibility for her crew, but now the job's become even harder since she got back to the Alpha Quadrant. All of Season 1, she's forced into a stressful hunt to find Chakotay when he goes missing, and when Season 2 sees that chance to rescue him get horribly botched, she's quite distraught over it.
- Character Development : Since Voyager got back home, Janeway's evolved into a Reasonable Authority Figure —still able to kick considerable ass when needing to, and not afraid to break the rules if she has no choice, but is in far better a position to manage her new charges, and is consistently portrayed as a firm-but-fair flag officer rather than being written all over the place .
- Cool Old Lady : She's well into her 50s now and still kicking some serious ass across the Alpha Quadrant. And she'll be well into her 80s by the time Picard ends, still a legendary Starfleet officer.
- Costume Evolution : She's wearing the Type-B uniform of 2384 at the start of the series, but switches to the 2385 Picard uniform at the end of Season 2.
- Of Janeway's character on Voyager . Sure, Janeway was always championing Starfleet principles, and is indeed one of their most exemplary officers, but she made a lot of hard calls to protect her crew during the seven-year-stay in the Delta Quadrant. It might have worked out for her then, but back in Federation space, those hard calls don't fly anymore. In her mission to rescue Chakotay, her crew has to reign her in from literally inciting a war when she's prepared to violate the Neutral Zone with the Romulans in order to catch the Protostar , hellbent on getting answers the crew quite literally can't give without bringing the Dauntless down.
- This one gets Played for Laughs , but her Must Have Caffeine tendencies are hit with a Surprisingly Realistic Outcome . Doctor Noum puts her on a tea diet because all that coffee is affecting her health.
- Determinator : She's deadset on rescuing Chakotay from whatever befell him in the Delta Quadrant.
- Famed in Story : One of Starfleet's most famous and decorated captains.
- The Fellowship Has Ended : Her original crew from Voyager left on different paths since they returned from the Delta Quadrant. Tuvok, Tom Paris, and B'Elanna Torres are still serving in Starfleet, Chakotay is lost in time, Seven of Nine quit to form the Fenris Rangers when Starfleet wouldn't accept her on account of her being an ex-Borg, Neelix is still in the Delta Quadrant at the Talaxian homestead, and Harry Kim was serving under her on the Dauntless (but strangely not on Voyager -A as far as the audience saw. At the very least, The Doctor joins her again in Season 2 to find Chakotay.
- Four-Star Badass : Last seen in Star Trek: Nemesis sporting a set of admirals pips after her triumphant return from the Delta Quadrant, Prodigy wastes little time reminding returning viewers and introducing new ones to exactly why she is a Vice Admiral in Starfleet. As her hologram counterpart puts it: Hologram Janeway: The real me is hunting us with a quantum slipstream Dauntless -class starship? Heh. Good luck with that .
- Hero Antagonist : She serves as this to the Protostar 's crew during the second half of Season One, as she believes them to be responsible for the theft of the ship and Chakotay's disappearance, and is determined to track them down by any means necessary. The moment she realizes they're not criminals but a bunch of kids escaping slavery, she becomes suspicious of the bounty put on them, starting the process of her turning to their side.
- Heroes Love Dogs : She keeps a picture of her old dog in her ready room.
- Locked Out of the Loop : The kids on the Protostar have no way of explaining themselves since contacting her ship will trigger the Trojan Horse set up by the Diviner. She gradually starts to unravel the situation from various clues in their behavior, as well as other details like the bounty put out on them by the Diviner. Eventually she gets the whole story when she winds up in Dal's body through a telepathic mishap, which gives the kids the opportunity to explain everything properly.
- Loophole Abuse : After the terrorist attacks on Mars, Starfleet elects to recall all of their ships back to Federation Space for defense and cancels every exploration mission for this purpose. Janeway recognizes this as a boneheaded decision, especially since it also involves cancelling the evacuation of Romulus (the very same decision that led Picard to resign). Unlike Picard, Janeway uses her authority to get the nearly-decommissioned Prodigy assigned as a training vessel to the kids, allowing them to continue Starfleet's mission without it technically violating the new directive.
- A Mother to Her Men : It doesn't matter if you served under her before or currently; if you're in danger, she will raise hell itself to rescue you. It's given somewhat of a Deconstruction , as Tysess has to remind Janeway not to dive into trying to save Chakotay so recklessly when she's willing to take greater risks to get him back.
- The Mentor : Now that the prodigies have made it to Earth and Holo Janeway is gone, the real Janeway takes the kids under her wing as Warrant Officers.
- Must Have Caffeine : Judging from the size of her mug, Janeway's love for coffee hasn't waned in the slightest since the events of Voyager . Unfortunately for her, she had to switch to tea on doctor's orders. She wants a second (i.e. pro-coffee) opinion.
- Patrick Stewart Speech : She may not be the Trope Namer , but she gives one that could give Picard a run for his money by convincing the entire Federation Council to accept the prodigies as Warrant Officers, noting how they went from not even knowing about Starfleet in the first place to saving the entire organization all on their own merits.
- Once she makes contact with the crew of the Protostar she starts having doubts about her mission to capture them, noting that they're just kids rather than the thieves she was expecting. In the season 1 finale she successfully goes up against Starfleet Command over letting Dal join Starfleet with the rest of his friends since being a genetically modified human makes him ineligible.
- In Season 2, while she is forced to put the Protostar crew on restricted access for bungling the mission to rescue Chakotay, she accepts that she and the rest of the senior staff played a role in letting the situation get out of hand.
- Retirony : A non-lethal example. She was planning to retire after rescuing Chakotay, but the attack on Mars occurs and she decides to stick around to keep things afloat—quite the opposite reaction of Picard, who retired in disgrace because Starfleet refused to let the Romulan evacuation continue after the attack.
- Saved by Canon : Since Picard established that Janeway is still kicking as a prominent Admiral in Starfleet, she's in little danger in this series.
- Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right! : She isn't above breaking the rules if she feels she needs to, though being back in Starfleet has made her less willing to act unilaterally, at least until she feels backed into a corner.
- Trademark Favorite Food : It's still coffee. And no, a doctor's order for a tea diet isn't going to get her to stop.
- You Have to Believe Me! : After Dal's bizarre behavior in her body gets her removed from command and locked in the brig, she begs the security officer to understand that she's herself again and that she has vital information. The security officer happens to be someone she rescued in the Delta Quadrant, but she doesn't release Janeway quite soon enough to prevent disaster.
Commander Tysess
Voiced by: daveed diggs.
- Commander Badass : Swears an oath upon his religion to protect Ma'Jel when she volunteers to join the away mission. He means it too, and is shown swinging right to the end holding up his end of it.
- Number Two : Janeway's current second-in-command, since Chakotay was promoted to captain and assigned to command the Protostar .
- The Spock : Although he's an Andorian and not a Vulcan, he acts in the same capacity and with a similar thought process, urging Janeway not to let her emotions drive her to recklessness to save Chakotay.
- The Smart Guy : He would seem to have taken the "Science Officer" route to the command level, as he's the first to figure out that the Loom will not just kill someone but remove them from existence ( quite the intuitive leap, "I must be going crazy" would be easier to conclude) and is assisting Rok in construction when her plan is extremely intricate in in terms of quantum/temporal physics.
Doctor Noum
Voiced by: jason alexander.
- Casting Gag : Jason Alexander had previously starred as Kuros, the spokesperson of the Think Tank that antagonized Janeway during Voyager , and is a professed fan of the Trek franchise. Now, he's playing a character who's working for, not against, Janeway.
- Doctor Jerk : Has a very abrasive personality. Justified in that he's a Tellarite , for whom this is a cultural trait.
- Insufferable Genius : He makes sure that everyone around him knows that he's a brilliant doctor and they'd be lost without him.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero : When he meets Jankom, he begins interacting with him as he would any Tellarite—starting an argument. Unfortunately, he doesn't realize that Jankom has had very little experience with his own culture, and unwittingly says something that legitimately upsets Jankom. As a result, he and Admiral Janeway lose a chance to learn about the Diviner's plan before it's too late.
Ensign Asencia
Voiced by: jameela jamil.
- Ensign Newbie : In her Trill guise, she behaves as a plucky young ensign willing to go above and beyond.
- Evil Brit : While she has an American accent in her Trill disguise, she speaks with a British accent once her antagonistic role is revealed.
- Good Scars, Evil Scars : She sports a scar on her face running over her left eye that is hidden when she is in her Trill guise, and which her younger and heroic counterpart lacks.
- It's All About Me : In spite of her pretensions of wanting a peaceful Solum, she kickstarts its militarization in the present day, and tells Gwyn that she will conquer their reality until she has the Solum that she wants, that bends to her will.
- The Mole : She infiltrated Janeway's crew to find the Protostar .
- No-Nonsense Nemesis : The Vindicator does whatever she can to fulfill her goal. She jump-starts the Diviner's memory to get him back on track, sets their plan to bring the Dauntless in contact with the Protostar while removing Janeway from the picture, gets Jellico's authorization to answer the fatal hail, and kills the Diviner when he proves to be more attached to Gwyn than vengeance.
- Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist : While the Diviner's own actions, however misguided, were well-meaning, the Vindicator's personal vendetta amounts to nothing more than a power grab to enforce her people's isolationist extremism, taking any opportunity she can to seize power for herself on the present-day Solum, with no care to anyone but herself.
- Real Name as an Alias : Asencia turns out to be her actual Solum name and not simply an alias she made up while posing as an Ensign, though it's not like anyone in Starfleet would recognize it or consider it out of place.
- Tyrant Takes the Helm : After showing up on present day Solum, she quickly assumes control of its government and begins militarizing it at a rapid pace.
- Villain: Exit, Stage Left : She manages to escape the Protostar with her Drednok after mortally wounding the Diviner.
- Viler New Villain : Unlike the Diviner, the Vindicator has no mercy for Gwyn, dismissing her as a burden and not truly one of the Vau N'Akat , and doesn't hesitate to mortally wound the Diviner when he tries to save his daughter.
- Would Hurt a Child : She has no compunctions about trying to kill Gwyn, regardless of the Diviner's sentiments.
U.S.S. Dauntless (NCC-80816)
U.s.s. voyager -a crew.
![characters in star trek prodigy https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/the_doctor_7.jpg](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/the_doctor_7.jpg)
Voiced by: Robert Picardo
- Artificial Intelligence : He was once a basic Emergency Medical Hologram that grew to become a fully-sentient being in his own right.
- The Bus Came Back : Season 2 marks The Doctor's first appearance since the end of Voyager .
- Character Aged with the Actor : Zig-zagged. Physically, the Doctor's appearance is relatively unchanged from VOY, he's got a few more age lines but nothing too drastic — which makes sense, given the EMH Program's default avatar template is, for all intents, ageless (and also benefits from Picardo not having to reprise the role in live-action). Vocally, however, Picardo (much like Kate Mulgrew and Robert Beltran) hasn't played the Doctor since the early 2000s (in terms of on-screen canon and not counting Star Trek Online or the Borg Invasion ride). So, Picardo's voice has unsurprisingly aged and changed in that interim.
- Contrasting Sequel Main Character : To Hologram Janeway, as both characters served as the holographic mentor to the titular characters. Or at least, he's trying to be, as the kids aren't quite as fond of him compared to their old mentor, to say nothing of the fact that he's his own, fully-sentient character from 14 years worth of storytelling instead of being a recreation of his old commanding officer.
- Costume Evolution : He's wearing the 2384 Type B uniform for his return appearance, after having last worn the original Deep Space Nine uniform on Voyager and the First Contact uniform in the non-canon Borg Invasion 4D ride experience.
- Deadpan Snarker : The Alpha Quadrant isn't any more safe from his snide remarks as the Delta Quadrant was, as the Voyager -A crew can attest to.
- Dysfunction Junction : Lampshaded . He personally calls Dal and the rest of the Protostar crew just as dysfunctional as the Cerritos (and considering how wild they can get, that's saying a lot ).
- Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep" : He still hasn't settled on a name. Guess "Joe" didn't rub off on him in this timeline.
- Famed in Story : At least in the context of anyone who isn't the former Protostar crew. As the legendary sentient Emergency Medical Hologram who grew beyond his programming and managed to become a successful officer and holo-novelist, he's got quite a reputation (especially on the Cerritos ). Unfortunately for him, Dal and the others have no idea who he is.
- A Father to His Men : He takes it upon himself to care for Janeway's young warrant officers, quickly assigning them to their new jobs when they reach Voyager -A and personally comforting Zero when he notices their distress with being unable to have physical sensation.
- Hard Light Hologram : As with before, he's still a living, fully-solid holographic being, which makes getting around a little handier for him—so long as there's spots on the ship for him to bounce around with.
- Ink-Suit Actor : He's the spitting image of Robert Picardo .
- I'm a Doctor, Not a Placeholder : Drops numerous "I'm a doctor, not a..."s across Season 2, starting with "I'm a doctor, not a butler" when the Protostar crew drops their baggage right in front of his feet.
- Non-Standard Character Design : Downplayed . He still fits in the show's overall art style, but his uniform bears his mobile holo-emitter on his left arm—something the other characters obviously lack given they're not sentient holograms.
- Noodle Incident : He mentions the crew of the Cerritos with a level of personal familiarity, suggesting he's been to the famous California Class at some point before rejoining Janeway. Lord knows how that turned out with a bunch of Voyager fanboys onboard.
- Uncertain Doom : The show's second season takes place around 2384, but very shortly, Starfleet will ban sentient A.I. because of the terrorist attack on Mars that happens at the end of the Season 2 finale, meaning he'll likely be shut down. He's still around long enough to join Janeway and Chakotay in sending the kids off on the U.S.S. Prodigy , however. Later, it was confirmed that Picardo would be reprising his role again in live-action for the upcoming Starfleet Academy tv series, so it seems the good Doctor may have avoided the shutdown to make it to the 32nd century.
- Unwitting Instigator of Doom : The disastrous effects of Season 2, which include the near erasure of Gwyn and a good chunk of the galaxy from existence, the stranding of Chakotay and his descent into isolation, and the near-total destruction of the present day Vau N'Kat homeworld , all occur because the dear Doctor accidentally lets it slip that there exists a third shuttle bay on a ship that's only supposed to have two. That one slip of the tongue gets Zero suspicious, causing everything that follows to occur from there. Nice going, doc.
Gillian the whale
Voiced by: bonnie gordon.
A humpback whale that serves in the Cetacean Ops department on Voyager -A.
- Mythology Gag : Her name is the same as Doctor Gillian Taylor, who was instrumental in helping Kirk bring back two humpback whales in the 23rd century in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home .
- The Navigator : The function of Cetacean Ops is to aid in navigation as Gillian is already used to moving in 3 dimensions. Used in the finale when all Voyager 's navigation systems are down, Gillian takes over to guide the vessel safely through the rest of a wormhole.
- Translator Buddy : Briefly serves as one to Murph. Once Rok realises Murph's species is aquatic, they put him in Gillian's tank and she is able to translate the message he received from team's mysterious benefactor.
U.S.S. Voyager (NCC-74656-A)
![characters in star trek prodigy https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/voyager_a.jpg](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/voyager_a.jpg)
- Alternate Self : She has a counterpart in the Mirror Universe.
- According to the Hageman brothers, they originally pitched the idea that Janeway would command the Enterprise for Season 2, which would have meant either the Enterprise -E, last seen at the end of Season 1, or the Enterprise -F, last seen in Star Trek: Picard Season 3. However, it was Kate Mulgrew herself that suggested Janeway should be on the bridge of a Voyager , and thus the Voyager -A was born. This is probably why the A looks like a mashup of the Enterprise s-E and F (roughly the same size and shape as the former while having the design elements of the latter), however.
- Legacy Vessel Naming : She's the first of the Voyager legacy previously established by Discovery 's Voyager -J.
- Shout-Out : Her class is named after actress and scientist Hedy Lamarr .
- Superior Successor : She's decked out to the nines with all the latest bells and whistles that her predecessor wished they had in the Delta Quadrant, including a larger crew compliment of 800, and two school facilities onboard, not to mention she practically dwarfs the original Voyager .
- Uncertain Doom : Star Trek: Picard revealed that in 2401, a Pathfinder class Voyager -B is set to be placed online, so it begs the question of what fate befell her in between this series and Picard season 3. That said, in the same season, the latest iteration of the Enterprise was being retired despite obviously being still spaceworthy, so Starfleet may simply have adopted a more regular rotation of their most famous vessels to keep up with the latest advances.
Solum (Present Day)
![characters in star trek prodigy https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/young_ilthuran.png](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/young_ilthuran.png)
- Good Parents : In sharp contrast to his alternate future self , as soon as Gwyn proves that she is his Kid from the Future (or a variation) he becomes absolutely affectionate and supportive towards her.
- Hope Bringer : To further contrast him with the Diviner , when the alternate future Asencia oppresses the Vau N'Akat it's Ilthuran who gives a speech that gives the people hope and inspires them to overthrow her. Ilthuran: People of Solum, do not embrace Asencia's war. I have met the off-worlders. They're not the enemy. Look around at what she's done to our once peaceful planet — the fear in our streets. Rise up. Let our voices be heard. There is no barrier we cannot overcome, for we are Vau N'Akat.
- Klingon Scientists Get No Respect : He describes himself as "a lonely astronomer on a world that cares nothing for the stars".
- My Species Doth Protest Too Much : Even when his people were confident that their world had the only life in the universe he dreamed of life from other worlds.
- Nice Guy : He's so friendly that it's almost impossible to believe that an alternate version of him became the Diviner.
![characters in star trek prodigy https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/young_asencia.png](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/young_asencia.png)
- Future Me Scares Me : She is shown to be very uncomfortable with her alternate future self when they're first seen together and she later co-leads a resistance movement against the future Asencia (Vindicator) when the latter militarizes and oppresses Solum. It obviously overlaps with Evil Me Scares Me .
- Good Scars, Evil Scars : Her main distinguishing feature from her future self is her lacking the scar that covers the Vindicator's face. Appropriately enough, she eventually sides with the heroes against her future self .
Beings of the Universe
Unknown plant organism, voiced by: kate mulgrew (as janeway), john noble (as the diviner).
- Always Chaotic Evil : The vines live to consume whatever they can, and only communicate to the extent this facilitates capturing prey. Zero's attempt to communicate with the vines telepathically is completely rebuffed; the crew is food to them, nothing more.
- A Form You Are Comfortable With : It communicates with Dal through an illusion of Janeway, since it can't find anything to manipulate him with in his memories.
- Genius Loci : According to Zero this organism is the planet it inhabits. It can rearrange the topography at will and even control the weather.
- Hostile Weather : It can create acid rain, which is basically this organism's equivalent to stomach acid.
- Lotus-Eater Machine : Lures and traps its victims with illusions of their greatest desires.
- When it appears to Dal as Janeway, he remembers that the hologram Janeway can't leave the ship, though it was forced to be more direct since Dal wasn't being fooled by its illusions.
- When it appears to Gwyn as the Diviner, it tells her that it is proud of her… something Gwyn immediately recognizes as something her father would never do.
- Spanner in the Works : The superorganism ends up breaking the emotional control the Diviner has on Gwyn and any loyalty she has towards him by tricking the Diviner into coming towards an illusion of the Protostar while it consumes Gwyn close by. That the Diviner walks away from his daughter's pleas for help makes her realize just how much more he desires the ship over her.
- With Dal, it's how while he wants to know about his parents and people, his lack of knowledge of them means there is little to build their appearances on.
- With Gwyn, while she desperately wants her father's approval and the organism has the fake Diviner say as much, Gwyn also knows in her head her father would never actually say those things.
- When Trees Attack : The vines are able to read the minds of prey and reproduce their greatest desires in order to capture and feed upon them. They're even strong enough to restrain the Protostar .
- Would Hurt a Child : More than willing to absorb and kill the crew, the youngest of whom is eight , for sustenance.
Daimon Nandi
![characters in star trek prodigy https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/29767336_f349_46ea_a685_b2de2945c37e.jpeg](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/29767336_f349_46ea_a685_b2de2945c37e.jpeg)
![](http://adsite.space/777/templates/cheerup/res/banner1.gif)
Voiced by: Grey Griffin
- Broken Pedestal : Becomes this to Dal after she lets it slip that she sold him to the Diviner.
- Establishing Character Moment : Is first seen faking a distress call with a fake burning ship and fake baby before recognizing Dal and abandoning the ruse.
- Evil Mentor : She raised Dal and taught him most of what he knows before she sold him into slavery. Later, she betrays him along with his crew after they agreed to help her.
- The Fagin : Taught Dal everything he knows about smooth talking and “The Ferengi Rules of Acquisition”.
- Failed a Spot Check : She didn't notice the combadge attached to the crystal she was holding, her fingers inches away from it. This causes it to be beamed away.
- Hate Sink : Any moments of sympathy she might have had goes out the window when she reveals she's a double-crossing scumbag who sold her own adoptive son into slavery for extra profit.
- Treacherous Advisor : Was Dal’s mentor before selling him into slavery for a profit.
The Cymari
- Dishing Out Dirt : The species has the ability to control sand, molding it into solid structures and back into dust, through electromagnetic frequencies focused by their remalite crystals.
- Starfish Aliens : Are more visually distinct from most of the franchise’s races, being these ethereal, translucent beings.
The Mysterious Assistant (Unmarked Spoilers)
A being who helps the crew in season 2. Turns out to be none other than Wesley Crusher.
- Big Good : He intervenes to repair the Prime Universe when a Temporal Paradox threatens to destroy it, after the other Watchers deemed the damage too severe to counteract.
- Brought Down to Normal : His capture and interrogation by Ascencia leaves him unable to use his powers for a time.
- Cloud Cuckoolander : As a being who functions outside space time, Wesley has a little trouble focusing on events of the present.
- Expy : He's grown into one of The Doctor , being a time traveling hero that fixes time disasters and is equally eccentric and obsessed with an article of clothing as much as his inspiration. For bonus points, the Doctor himself has actually crossed over into the Trek universe (appropriately enough, with the very show Wesley debuted in), and that show recently opened the door for them to meet up.
- Reality Warper : Downplayed Trope . His control over space, time, and thought allows him to take himself and others through space and time more or less at will, but he can't do whatever he wants and his powers have limits.
- The Reveal : Back on Picard , with the introduction of his brother, Jack Crusher, as well as Beverly's off-handed comment that she no longer had Wesley in her life, it was unclear how things had changed between mother and son, or if Wesley even knew he had a brother. Season 2 of Prodigy revealed that Wesley can't be in his mom's life anymore because of the fact he exists outside time and space, but he is aware of Jack.
- Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right! : The Travelers deemed the damage Dal and the others caused as being too catastrophic to handle, so they decided to leave things to fall apart. Wesley disagreed.
- Walking Spoiler : It's pretty much impossible to discuss the back half of season 2 without mentioning him.
The Loom
- Clock Roaches : They feed on anything which exists because of a paradox, ranging from single individuals to whole timelines.
- Combat Tentacles : Most of their bodies are made of tentacles, which consume anything they touch or grab.
- Expy : In the same way that Wesley is one of The Doctor, the Loom is one of The Reapers, as both are Clock Roaches that appear during temporal paradoxes to consume all in their path.
- No-Sell : They are impervious to most weapons. The worst that a phaser (even from a starship ) or a plasma grenade can do is temporarily repel them, assuming it's calibrated correctly.
- Ret-Gone : Anything they consume is erased from existence, effectively having never existed.
- Time Stand Still : They slow down time to a crawl over an area before attacking, ensuring their victims can't move or fight back.

Gwyndala , more commonly called Gwyn , was a young female Vau N'Akat who lived during the late 24th century . She was the artificially created daughter of The Diviner and was sometimes referred to as his " progeny " or the "Progeny of Solum ." ( PRO : " Lost and Found ", " Starstruck ", " Kobayashi ")
Gwyn lived on the Tars Lamora prison colony until 2383 , when she was taken hostage by Dal R'El aboard the newly-discovered Federation starship USS Protostar . Eventually, she joined the crew as they fled the Diviner and searched for meaning and a new life in the Federation. ( PRO : " Lost and Found ")

Early life [ ]
![characters in star trek prodigy Gwyndala's beginning](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/memoryalpha/images/3/3e/Gwyndala%27s_beginning.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/180?cb=20220106180701&path-prefix=en)
Gwyn's beginning
In 2366 , having grown weak over the years in his search for the Protostar , and with his species on the verge of extinction , The Diviner decided to create an offspring who would continue in his place, should he one day perish. Drednok was against the idea of creating an offspring, but reluctantly assisted The Diviner. ( PRO : " Kobayashi ")
Gwyn spent her childhood on Tars Lamora studying thousands of alien languages , which she called "windows into other cultures ," and assisting The Diviner with negotiating slave deals and interrogating those that worked at the prison colony.
Despite her work, Gwyn displayed a penchant of caring for " The Unwanted ", which at times led her to step out of bounds and speak on behalf of The Diviner, a power solely given to Drednok. She also showed sympathy for some prisoners by using softer interrogation methods than violence employed by Drednok and threatening a Kazon slave trader when he tried to sell a very young Caitian for half-price. She longed to leave Tars Lamora to see the stars .
USS Protostar [ ]
In 2383 , The Diviner tasked Gwyn to interrogate Dal R'El for information about Zero . After R'El found the USS Protostar , Gwyn lost track of him, and eventually she was held hostage on the starship by Rok-Tahk , Jankom Pog and Zero after a fight. The Protostar then left Tars Lamora with Gwyn tied to the captain's chair . ( PRO : " Lost and Found ")
She was later transferred to the ship's brig . She briefly escaped when the ship was threatened by a binary star when power was transferred from non-essential systems. An attempt to flee the ship aboard an escape pod proved unsuccessful when all were jettisoned moments before she could board one. She then learned of the ship's vehicle replicator and attempted to use it to create a shuttlecraft but was stopped by Rok and was subsequently returned to the brig. ( PRO : " Starstruck ")
After being marooned with her de facto crew mates on Murder Planet , she briefly injured her leg and was forced to cooperate with them to survive. She was devastated when her father The Diviner chose to attempt leaving with the Protostar rather than rescuing her from the planet's dangerous Cilium-like vegetation . She ultimately fled the planet with the runaway crew, engaging the ship's Protostar drive to escape his pursuit in the Rev-12 . ( PRO : " Dream Catcher ", " Terror Firma ")
After fleeing The Diviner and joining the crew of the Protostar, Gwyn struggled to find a new role for herself on the ship as she recovered from her injuries and emotional trauma. With the encouragement of Zero, she realized her skills in language and interpretation were exceptionally useful, especially in cracking the unusual encryptions on the Protostar 's logs written in the language of her homeworld , Solum, that were preventing Hologram Janeway from accessing some of her memories. These endeavors eventually revealed the identity of the ship's former captain, Chakotay . ( PRO : " Kobayashi ")
Gwyn proved instrumental in communicating with the Cymari , whose "language" was primarily told through manipulating matter via sound waves . ( PRO : " First Con-tact ") She also successfully altered Hologram Janeway's programming to prevent The Diviner from changing her code, and to give Janeway the ability to fight back against intruders.
In 2384 , Gwyn confronted The Diviner on the Protostar 's holodeck, where she learned that despite what she'd been told, her species the Vau N'Akat had not been driven to extinction yet, and that The Diviner was from approximately fifty years in the future. She was created to carry on The Diviner's mission to destroy the Federation before first contact with Solum could occur, which would drive them to civil war and the destruction of their civilization. Gwyn chose not to join her father's cause, insisting that "you can't trade on tragedy for another." Before she could warn her crew of this dark revelation, she was accidentally exposed to Zero's true Medusan form by glimpsing a reflection in Dal's combadge , damaging her mind and causing her to lose her immediate memories of the event. ( PRO : " A Moral Star, Part 1 ", " A Moral Star, Part 2 ")
![characters in star trek prodigy Gwyn in uniform](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/memoryalpha/images/3/38/Gwyn_in_uniform.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/180?cb=20220128102253&path-prefix=en)
Gwyn in Starfleet uniform
Guilt-ridden over what they'd almost done to Gwyn, Zero made it their mission to help her recover her lost memories. Though Gwyn did experience flashbacks, the details of the last conversation she had with her father remained elusive. Later, when the crew arrived at Federation outpost CR-721 , Zero took Gwyn to the station's sickbay which they believed would have better equipment. After placing Gwyn into a biobed , Zero stepped out. At that precise moment, the Diviner's weapon was activated, and the station’s systems turned against itself, with multiple systems malfunctioning, including the doors to sickbay. Momentarily trapped in her biobed, which was filling with water, Gwyn caught some glimpses of memory, and was able to cut herself loose using her heirloom. When Zero was finally able to enter the room, Gwyn announced that she remembered everything –most importantly the devastating weapon Living construct hidden onboard the Protostar. ( PRO : " Asylum ")
Though the crew was able to locate the Living construct, located in a subdeck beneath the bridge, the powerful weapon could not be disabled or removed. ( PRO : " Let Sleeping Borg Lie ") Eventually, thanks to the Living construct, the Protostar crew no longer had control of the ship and was headed for the heart of Federation space, where it was met by an armada of Starfleet vessels. At the same time, the Diviner, the Vindicator Asencia , and Drednok, boarded the ship to ensure that the Living construct was activated. While Drednok immobilized the rest of the Protostar crew, the Vindicator and the Diviner went to the bridge where they found Gwyn. Concerned about his loyalty to his daughter, the Vindicator tricked the Diviner into checking on the living construct and locked him in the subdeck.
Armed with her own Vau N'Akat heirloom , the Vindicator engaged Gwyn in a vicious sword fight. Though Gwyn was able to land a blow that left a scar on the other woman's face, the Vindicator got the upper hand, while calling Gwyn a "mistake that shouldn't exist".
When the Diviner escaped, the Vindicator quickly used Gwyn as a hostage so she could control him. However, he used his mind to send Gwyn’s heirloom towards The Vindicator's face. Unfortunately, she countered this by catching it and throwing it straight into his abdomen, landing a fatal blow. As the Vindicator escaped with Drednok A to complete their mission, the Diviner died in his daughter's arms and evaporated around her.
With the Living construct activated, Starfleet vessels became contaminated and, not only began attacking one another, but Universal translators were disabled as well, fleetwide. Luckily, Gwyn's knowledge of languages paid off and she calmed a terrified Rok and Jankom.
Suddenly, Dal got the idea that, since the living construct only affected Starfleet vessels, they should ask others for help. With approval from Vice admiral Kathryn Janeway , Gwyn sent a distress call and successfully contacted a Klingon captain named Trij , who, after an impassioned plea from Gwyn, agreed to render aid. Unfortunately, thanks to automatic distress calls , more and more Starfleet vessels were arriving and becoming contaminated. ( PRO : " Supernova, Part 1 ")
Finally, Dal decided that the only solution was to destroy the Protostar . When Pog stated that that would destroy everything in this solar system, Rok countered that it wouldn't if they set the ship to explode as it was going into proto-drive . Unfortunately, since the self-destruct was off-line, the core would need to be detonated manually. Dal volunteered to go down with the ship. but Holo Janeway declared that she should be the one to stay behind.
As Gwyn and the others escaped on a bare-bones shuttle that Rok built using the vehicle replicator , the Protostar destroyed itself in mid-jump, disabling the Living construct.
A month later, the Protostar crew made it to Starfleet Headquarters on Earth . where they found themselves in front of a Starfleet tribunal where they faced various criminal charges, such as stealing a Federation starship. Admiral Janeway argued on their behalf that the kids did everything in in an effort to warn Starfleet. thanks to the admiral's impassioned speech, all criminal charges were dropped and although they weren't allowed immediate entrance into Starfleet Academy as they hoped, five of them would be permitted to serve under the admiral as Warrant officers -in-training. When the group asked why only five, they learned of Gwyn's intention to travel to Solum to try to unite her people and avoid the disasterous civil war. As a result of her mision, Zero christened her The Unifier. ( PRO : " Supernova, Part 2 ")
Personal interests [ ]
Gwyn was trained extensively by the Diviner in starship mechanics , astrophysics , linguistics , and information technology , which she eventually realized was to prepare her for operating the Protostar . She spoke many languages besides her native language, including Klingonese and Federation Standard , as well as those used by the Kazons, Caitians, and Dal R'El. At the prison colony, she had a facility that allowed her to study languages, which she believed to allow her to understand new cultures. She favored speaking in Standard; her father considered the language "primitive", but nonetheless consented to communication with it between the two of them. ( PRO : " Lost and Found ", " Starstruck ", " Dream Catcher ")
She also possessed a professed level of martial arts skills and was equipped with an heirloom composed of malleable matter that she could control with telekinesis . ( PRO : " Lost and Found ", " Terror Firma ", " A Moral Star, Part 2 ")

The Big Picture
- Collider's Sam Coley sat down with the cast and crew of Star Trek: Prodigy at the 2024 San Diego Comic-Con.
- Cast members tease potential character arcs and romances, as relationships evolve in Season 3.
- The Hageman brothers connect Prodigy to the greater Star Trek universe and reveal an alternate ending to the show.
Bringing back familiar faces and introducing us to an array of new ones, Star Trek: Prodigy has been hailed for its beautiful storytelling that captures the essence of the franchise. Season 2 saw a memorable 20-episode run this year, as the stories of younger characters like Dal ( Brett Gray ) and Gwyn ( Ella Purnell ) are woven with cast members from series like Star Trek: Voyager . Season 2 also saw Kate Mulgrew 's Captain Janeway step into the limelight, as her search for Chakotay ( Robert Beltran ) becomes one of the central conceits of the season.
As such, at the 2024 San Diego Comic Con, Collider's Sam Coley sat down with Kate Mulgrew, Brett Gray and creators Dan & Kevin Hageman to talk about the characters, relationships and potential romances established during this season. They also tease potential conflicts and more heart-warming moments for future seasons, and how the end of Prodigy looked very different in the Hageman brothers' minds when they set out to do the show. You can hear this from the crew themselves in the video above, or read the transcript below.
Star Trek: Prodigy
A group of enslaved teenagers steal a derelict Starfleet vessel to escape and explore the galaxy.
COLLIDER: How has it been to see the fans rally so hard to bring this show back and get it saved and get Season 2 out there, so people can see it?
KATE MULGREW: That was pretty moving. I was really impressed by that loyalty, but there's no fan base like this in the world. So, when they flew that little plane over Netflix and Netflix picked up on their cue, I was absolutely delighted. It needs to be picked up; it needs to go on. It's so great. These guys are geniuses.
BRETT GRAY: I know I wanted to piggyback off of what you were saying.
MULGREW: Piggyback? Oh my God.
GRAY: It’s new lingo. [All laugh]
MULGREW: What did you want to say?
GRAY: All of that. You really ate that and left no crumbs.
You're also following in the footsteps of the original series, which also got cancelled and brought back. [It's really] amazing.
MULGREW: But I don't understand it. Do you?
No, not at all.
MULGREW: Well, what do you think is going on?
I don't know.
MULGREW: There are no creatives as superb as these two guys in all of Hollywood . I think it deserves it, because the audience is vast. It's not just children, it's their mothers and their grandmothers. And I think that's the thrilling aspect, the most thrilling aspect of it.
Dal Is Not Ready To Be a Captain in 'Star Trek: Prodigy'
Brett, Dal goes on such an incredible journey this season and I think it's a relatable one for a lot of people. Can you talk a bit about his arc and finding that maybe the captain's chair is not where he's needed?
GRAY: At first it was hard for me, I definitely will have to say. Thinking about it when they first told me I was like, 'Oh man, that kind of sucks.' But looking back on it and seeing who Dal is now and what I think he needs as a character, I think this is actually perfect. I think Gwyn is ready. I think he cares about Gwyn more than probably anybody. I think in order to be a great leader, you have to learn how to follow as well. And I think that it's Dal's turn to see what it's like to be a member of the team as opposed to leading the team , because he's not always prepared anyway. So, I think it'll be really good for him, and I'm very proud of his arc and where he's going.
KEVIN HAGEMAN: We want this to be the first chapter for Dal’s arc. We want more seasons. We want to see him grow up and become a captain and become a man.
MULGREW: Wait a minute, this is fascinating. Grow up and become a man? How are you going to do that?
GRAY: Well, he's purple. So, I don't know. And he does have a, what do we call it? A dangler?
MULGREW: A dingle dangle!
GRAY: Dingle dangle. I mean, he hasn't even named his species or anything yet.
MULRGEW: Well then, he's not a man.
GRAY: He's a humanoid… He's going to become an adult.
MULGREW: There you go.
Is Romance Brewing Between Dal and Gwyn in 'Prodigy?'
Something I really enjoyed this season was the sort of parallel between Dal and Gwyn and Janeway and Chakotay and sort of lining those two relationships up. So, can you guys talk about textualizing the parallels between those two?
MULGREW: Romance, is that what you're talking about?
I mean, I enjoyed it both ways. Either way.
MULGREW: You need to be on this show. I was saying to these guys, as long as there's tension maintained and maybe a line not crossed . Just saying, guys, but the tension is high and is sustained. That's what keeps the audience really involved. Don't you agree?
GRAY: Cross the line.
MULGREW: I mean, what's going to happen with you and Gwyn?
GRAY: We need to cross the line.
MULGREW: God only knows… [All laugh]
GRAY: I would love to see them in a relationship in this team. What that does to the dynamic and also them finding love in themselves for the first time. I think it would be really cool to see them at the same time as they're also in a larger mission. I think the stakes would raise even more. I think it would be dope.
MULGREW: But I did ask this, and I am seriously asking it. How long can you keep that up? There's a story here to tell. You can't keep that romance alive forever. Somebody's got to die or suffer , right?
DAN HAGEMAN: Relationships evolve.
There [can be] conflict in an established relationship.
'Prodigy' Could Have Had an Alternate Ending
KEVIN HAGEMAN: What I will say, when we were working on the relationship of Dal and Gwyn and realizing that they were going to go and save Chakotay, we just felt like what an amazing symmetry that is, where these two get to see that and Dal learns from Chakotay that being a number one is amazing. You don't have to be a captain.
DAN HAGEMAN: And I want to add like we have things that we're learning about Star Trek. I remember early on in the story process, we imagined two chairs next to each other, Captain Dal and Captain Gwyn, and we thought it's a beautiful ending . And then, one of our consultants is like that's a horrible idea. The way they disagreed was like a photon torpedo was coming their way.
KEVIN HAGEMAN: Imagine a battleship, and you had two captains declaring to turn left to turn right. Engage, don't engage, like what it would be? It would be terrible.
MULGREW: But a breeding ground for conflict and tension.
Captain Janeway's Relationships May End With Tragedy
I love the journey that Janeway goes on this season and doing all that work to get Chakotay back, and then just when you think she's retiring, this big catastrophic thing happens that brings her back into the fold. Can you talk a bit about her arc and what you'd like to see in a third season?
MULGREW: I'd like to see a third season. Let's be very clear about that. I think it would be very interesting to follow this relationship with Janeway and Chakotay. And we also have the Doctor involved. So, we've got two of my old pals, Robert Beltran and Bob Picardo. See where you can go with it. Perhaps I like tragedy. I like a little tragedy with my soup.
DAN HAGEMAN: Someone's got to go down.
MULGREW: But I don't know. I mean, where could you go with Janeway?
KEVIN HAGEMEN: The death of Janeway?
MULGREW: What did you say? [Everyone laughs] The great thing is infinite possibilities . Star Trek at its finest. And these guys are going to take us there.
Speaking of that ending and tying into Picard Season 1, I cried through the whole finale, and then we got to that ending, and I was like, if I don't get Season 3, I'm going to be so upset.
DAN HAGEMAN: It's love turns to anger!
'Prodigy' Season 3 Will See the Kids Grow Up Together
So, I'm not going to say if we get Season 3, I'm going to say when we get Season 3, what can fans expect from the balance of dealing with the catastrophic fallout of the attack on Mars? And then the new exciting journey that the kids are going off on and exploring this new pilot program?
KEVIN HAGEMAN: It's a dark time for the Federation, we realize, and we wanted to get our characters out of that. I think one of the major things that we do want to see is that we want to grow up with these kids . When we get our Season 3, it's going to take a little time to make. These kids are going to grow up to see our actress for Rok-Tahk, Rylee [Alazraqui] , and she is going to be older. I don't know how old she's going to be, but she'll probably be a teenage girl.
MULGREW: It’ll be a vocal development. Is that what you're talking about?
KEVIN HAGEMAN: We would never recast and get another younger actress to continue playing. We want Rok-Tahk to grow up along with everyone, and to one day become a full-fledged adult Starfleet officer.
DAN HAGEMAN: I also want to add what we can expect thinking about Season 3. At the end of Season 2, these kids leave space and become a beacon of light for hope . And if we don't believe that there's something out there past Season 2, then why are we writing the show?
The Hageman Brothers on Stitching 'Prodigy' Into the Fabric of Star Trek
Building off that, I love the way that this season really weaves Prodigy into the fabric of the rest of the franchise. You guys reference Picard , you reference the Cerritos even at one point, which I really loved. Can you talk about adding in those little references and just really sort of stitching it into the fabric of Star Trek? Even if you're not necessarily on Paramount anymore?
DAN HAGEMAN: We never wanted it to be the show that was the little brother or little sister of the rest. We wanted to sit at the adult table , and we wanted to make sure that our show works that way and that it is canon. So, we tied as many canon things into it so they couldn't get rid of us .
KEVIN HAGEMAN: But we never did it just to showboat. We always made sure there was an organic reason for these characters or these little nods to be in there.
It works really beautifully. I love it so much.
MULGREW: It's witty, it's nuanced, right? And I think that the audience goes, "Oh, how exciting."
DAN HAGEMAN: It shows how deep Star Trek can go. There's a lot of deep cuts.
MULGREW: And the possibilities are infinite.
Lastly, a fun thing we're asking people here at Comic-Con, if you were to dress up as a character, it doesn't have to be a Star Trek character, it could be any character, and just roam around Comic-Con, what would you pick?
MULGREW: We have to dress up as somebody else?
You don't have to.
MULGREW: Cleopatra
GRAY: Captain Janeway.
DAN HAGEMAN: We had the perfect idea for Comic-Con today. It's a guy who has a sign that says, “line starts here,” and then people will start lining up behind you, waiting for someone. And you get a picture of how big your costume is: the whole line.

Series creators Dan and Kevin Hageman jumped in the conversation to joke about the death of Mulgrew's character, Captain (now Admiral) Janeway, drawing some lighthearted ire from the actress herself. "What did you say?" Mulgrew responded. "The great thing is infinite possibilities. Star Trek at its finest. And these guys are going to take us there."
"The great thing is infinite possibilities. Star Trek at its finest. And these guys are going to take us there."
Released on Paramount+ in October 2021, the first season of the animated series Star Trek: Prodigy began by following a crew of young aliens who just so happened to make their way into an abandoned Starfleet ship known as the USS Protostar. After making a hectic and hazardous journey across the cosmos, the main cast of Star Trek: Prodigy join forces with Mulgrew's Admiral Janeway aboard the USS Voyager-A in the hopes of discovering what happened to the Protostar's original crew. The series first two seasons each received nearly unanimously positive reviews from critics and audiences alike, with the first being nominated for multiple awards, including two Children's and Family Emmy Awards for Outstanding Animated Series and Outstanding Individual Achievement in Animation - Production Design.
Michelle Yeoh Stayed 'Completely Committed' to Star Trek: Section 31 After Oscar Win
Executive producer Alex Kurtzman opens up about Michelle Yeoh's return in the upcoming Star Trek: Section 31 feature film.
Kate Mulgrew Debuted as Janeway in 1995
Mulgrew originally appeared as Captain Janeway all the way back in 1995 on Star Trek: Voyager . Mulgrew appeared in all but two episodes of the series' 172-episode, 7-season run, which ended in 2001. Voyager has gone on to be recognized as one of the greatest entries into the Star Trek canon, as well as one of the most expansive takes on the franchise. Mulgrew recently discussed the possibility of returning to the role of Janeway for another live-action Star Trek production , which she noted would "have to be impeccable." Mulgrew explained, "It would have to be without hubris. It would have to be authentic. And it would have to be so bloody good that I would in no way question any element of it."
Star Trek: Prodigy is currently available for streaming on Netflix .

Everything We Know About Star Trek: Prodigy Season 2
House of the dragon art imagines if alicent's children all shared her hair color instead of targaryen blonde, who played daenerys in house of the dragon (was it emilia clarke).
- Star Trek: Prodigy season 1 introduced a large number of Star Trek legacy characters, voiced by the original actors.
- The animated series was originally on Paramount+, but following a fan campaign, it is now available on Netflix for a global audience.
- The upcoming season 2 of Star Trek: Prodigy will feature even more legacy characters and references to prior Star Trek TV series and movies.
The Emmy Award-winning Star Trek: Prodigy season 1 showcased over a dozen Star Trek legacy characters , many of whom were voiced by the original actors. Originally streaming on Paramount+, Star Trek: Prodigy season 1's 20 episodes premiered on Netflix on Christmas Day, following a dedicated fan campaign to find the popular Star Trek all-ages animated series a new streaming home. With Netflix's global audience now able to access and enjoy Star Trek: Prodigy , season 2 is set to premiere on Netflix later in 2024.
Set in the late 24th century, Star Trek: Prodigy centers on the ragtag young alien crew who commandeered the derelict USS Protostar: Dal R'El (Brett Gray), Gwyndala (Ella Purnell), Jankom Pog (Jason Mantzoukas), Zero (Angus Imrie), Rok-Tahk (Rylee Alazraqui), and Murf (Dee Bradley Baker). The Protostar kids are mentored by Hologram Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) and then, later, by Vice Admiral Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) from Star Trek: Voyager . Star Trek: Prodigy touches upon the breadth of the Star Trek franchise, and Prodigy season 2 is set to feature even more legacy characters and references to prior Star Trek TV series and movies. But the amount of Star Trek legacy characters in Star Trek: Prodigy season 1 is already remarkable.
Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 joins season 1's episodes on Netflix in summer 2024 so that all 40 episodes will be available on the streamer.
13 Hologram Janeway / Vice Admiral Kathryn Janeway
Voiced by kate mulgrew.
Star Trek: Prodigy is a tacit sequel to Star Trek: Voyager , with Admiral Kathryn Janeway and her virtual doppelganger, Hologram Janeway, as central figures. Hologram Janeway is introduced as the USS Protostar's training program, who begins the ragtag crew's education in the values of Star Trek. The Protostar kids then meet the real Admiral Janeway, who leads a mission to find Captain Chakotay (Robert Beltran), aboard the USS Dauntless. By the end of Star Trek: Prodigy season 1 , Hologram Janeway sacrifices herself to save the galaxy while Admiral Janeway takes the Protostar crew under her charge arguing for their acceptance into Starfleet Academy, and making them her warrant officers in Star Trek: Prodigy season 2.
Admiral Janeway and Dal R'El hilariously swapped bodies in Star Trek: Prodigy season 1, episode 18, "Mindwalk."
12 Captain Chakotay
Voiced by robert beltran.
Promoted from his position as First Officer of the USS Voyager, Captain Chakotay initially commanded the USS Protostar on a mission to the Delta Quadrant to "clean up Voyager's mistakes." A temporal anomaly deposited the Protostar in the 25th century, where it landed on Solum, the homeworld of the Starfleet-hating Vau N'Akat. Although taken prisoner, Chakotay was able to send the Protostar back in time to safeguard it from the Vau N'Akat. After she found out what happened to Chakotay , Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 will center on Admiral Janeway's mission aboard the USS Voyager-A to rescue her dear friend Chakotay from his alternate future prison.
11 USS Enterprise-D
Star Trek: The Next Generation 's USS Enterprise-D is not just a character in its own right, but it's also one of the most beloved starships in the franchise. In Star Trek: Prodigy season 1, episode 6, "Kobayashi", Dal discovers the USS Protostar's holodeck and takes Starfleet's Kobayashi Maru test a hundred times to prove his mettle as Captain, alongside a cavalcade of holographic Star Trek icons, aboard the holographic Enterprise-D. Showcasing Galaxy Class starship's distinctive bridge, Star Trek: Prodigy featured the USS Enterprise-D two years before Star Trek: Picard season 3 resurrected the D and sent it back into action with its original crew.
The USS Enterprise-D was destroyed in Star Trek Generations but was secretly restored and rebuilt by Commodore Geordi La Forge (LeVar Burton) in Hangar 12 of the Fleet Museum on Athan Prime in Star Trek: Picard season 3.
Voiced by Leonard Nimoy (archival audio)
A hologram of Spock (voiced by Leonard Nimoy) served as Dal R'El's Science Officer in Star Trek: Prodigy season 1, episode 6, "Kobayashi". Dal took an immediate liking to the pointy-eared Vulcan, who also gave the Protostar's self-styled Captain the same inspirational speeches he gave Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner). Spock joined Dal when he beamed over to the Klingon ship to beat the Kobayashi Maru no-win scenario . Star Trek: Prodigy 's archival audio of Leonard Nimoy spanned generations of Spock , which noticably alternated the actor's vocal pitch as the Vulcan hero.
Voiced by Rene Auberjonois (archival audio)
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine 's Constable Odo (voiced by Rene Auberjonois) took the USS Enterprise-D's conn position in Dal R'El's Kobayashi Maru. Dal liked calling Odo "Jellyman," but DS9 's holographic, Changeling top cop didn't warm up to the Protostar's genetically engineered Captain. Rene Auberjonois passed away in December 2019 , and Star Trek: Prodigy season 1, episode 6 would count as the beloved actor's final appearance as Odo.
Voiced by James Doohan (archival audio)
Dal R'El selected Scotty (James Doohan) as his Chief Engineer during his Kobayashi Maru no-win scenario. Mr. Scott, the former Chief Engineer of the USS Enterprise NCC-1701 ("No bloody A, B, C, or D") ironically manned the engines of the Galaxy Class Enterprise-D, a starship the real Scotty visited in the Star Trek: The Next Generation season 6 episode, "Relics." Scotty appeared in Star Trek: Prodigy 's "Kobayashi" as he did in the Star Trek: The Original Series movies .
Voiced by Nichelle Nichols (archival audio)
Lieutenant Nyota Uhura (voiced by Nichelle Nichols) took the helm of the USS Enterprise-D in Dal R'El's Kobayashi Maru tests, although she also doubled as Communications Officer . Uhura is a Starfleet legend for her decades of service aboard the USS Enterprise, but it was the more experienced version Nichelle Nichols played in Star Trek: The Original Series selected on the holodeck, rather than the younger incarnation of Uhura played by Celia Rose Gooding in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds had yet to premiere when Star Trek: Prodigy season 1, episode 6, "Kobayashi," premiered in January 2022 on Paramount+.
6 Dr. Beverly Crusher
Voiced by gates mcfadden.
Dal R'El wisely selected Dr. Beverly Crusher (Gates McFadden) as his Chief Medical Officer during his Kobayashi Maru no-win scenario. Affectionately nicknamed "Big Red" by Dal, Crusher was, of course, the Chief Medical Officer of the USS Enterprise- D in Star Trek: The Next Generation . McFadden's return as Beverly in Star Trek: Prodigy season 1, episode 6, "Kobayashi," can now be seen as a harbinger for Dr. Crusher's flesh-and-blood comeback in Star Trek: Picard season 3.
5 Kobayashi Maru Captain
Voiced by david ruprecht (archival audio).
Star Trek: Prodigy season 1, episode 6, "Kobayashi", utilized archival audio of David Ruprecht, the Captain of the Kobayashi Maru freighter. The Kobayashi Maru's Captain was heard but not seen in the opening scene of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan when Lieutenant Saavik (Kirstie Alley) failed the no-win scenario test, and the same thing happens in Star Trek: Prodigy.
4 Thadiun Okona
Voiced by billy campbell.
Decades after making his lone but memorable appearance in Star Trek: The Next Generation 's season 2 episode, "The Outrageous Okona," Captain Thadiun Okona (Billy Campbell) returned for the Star Trek: Prodigy season 1 episodes "Crossroads" and "Masquerade." Now older and wearing an eyepatch, Okona becomes a temporary role model to the USS Protostar's ragtag crew as they tried to escape Admiral Janeway.
Okona also appeared (but wasn't heard) in the Star Trek: Lower Decks season 2 episode "An Embarrassment of Dooplers" when he was the DJ at an exclusive Starfleet party.
3 Admiral Edward Jellico
Voiced by ronny cox.
Captain Edward Jellico (Ronny Cox) is infamous for his appearances in the Star Trek: The Next Generation season 6 two-parter "Chain of Command". The gruff and unforgiving Jellico took over as Captain of the USS Enterprise-D while Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) was a prisoner of the Cardassians, and Jellico found few supporters among the Enterprise-D's crew or among Star Trek fans. Yet Jellico's Starfleet rise continued. In Star Trek: Prodigy season 1, Admiral Jellico is now the commanding officer to Vice Admiral Kathryn Janewa y.
Voiced by Ben Thomas
The crew of the USS Protostar encounter a Borg Cube and awaken the cybernetic villains in Star Trek: Prodigy season 1, episode 12, "Let Sleeping Borg Lie." Although the Borg appear in the holodeck on Star Trek: Lower Decks , and variations of the Borg appear in Star Trek: Picard , Star Trek: Prodigy season 1 shows the Borg as the menace they were on Star Trek: The Next Generation , as this collective of Borg are not yet ravaged by the virus an alternate future Admiral Janeway infected them and the Borg Queen (Alice Krige) with in Star Trek: Voyager 's series finale, "Endgame."
1 Ensign David Garrovick
Voiced by fred tatasciore.
Ensign David Garrovick (Stephen Brooks) appeared in the Star Trek: The Original Series season 2 episode, "Obsession." However, Garrovick volunteered for a mission to Planet 0042692 after "Obsession," but after David crashed the shuttlecraft Galileo on the planet, Garrovick ended up altering the direction of its people. The planet's natives chose to model their culture after Garrovick, who they called "En-Son" , and the voyages of the USS Enterprise. The crew of the USS Protostar encountered this oddball "Starflight" population and learned about Ensign Garrovick (voiced by Fred Tatasciore of Star Trek: Lower Decks ) in Star Trek: Prodigy season 1, episode 13, "All The World's A Stage."
Star Trek: Prodigy season 1 is streaming on Netflix, and Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 premieres on Netflix in 2024.

Star Trek's Kate Mulgrew Explains Why She's Down For A Key Prodigy Romance But Didn't Want Janeway And Chakotay To Hook Up
T here's a lot to love about Star Trek: Prodigy Season 2. I especially enjoyed the unexpected reveal that Gwyn would captain the new Protostar, and Dal willingly stepped down to be her First Officer. It was a mature decision by the lead character, though I wondered how their new dynamic would be complicated by that passionate kiss they shared in Season 1. Who better to ask about that than Kate Mulgrew, who shocked me by sharing she's on board for a Dal and Gwyn romance even though she never wanted Kathryn Janeway and Chakotay together on Voyager .
I spoke to Mulgrew, Brett Gray, and the Hageman brothers at San Diego Comic-Con and asked about the possible issues that could arise with a romance between Gwyn and Dal having a romance, given their new work dynamic. I definitely asked Mulgrew, because she famously advocated that Janeway not have a romance during Voyager and had a major impact on Janeway's Prodigy storyline with Chakotay . The result was Janeway revealing that her love for Chakotay goes deeper than romance, and that made for a real tear-jerker even if some were disappointed they didn't officially become a couple. It turns out Mulgrew has different feelings about how Dal and Gwyn's situation plays out, because it doesn't align with Chakotay and Janeway's situation:
I was the first female Captain. There was no way I was going to say, 'Chakotay in my Ready Room for a little dingle dangle.' It's fair in this story. It's right in this story. It wasn't in mine. And I think that the tension between those two is terrific as long as you [points to Kevin and Dan Hageman] sustain that.
Kate Mulgrew says Dal and Gwyn's relationship in Star Trek: Prodigy is fair, and she makes a valid point. They had a friendship before ever getting involved with Starfleet, whereas Janeway and Chakotay formed the bulk of their bond while she was his superior officer on the Voyager . It allowed them to form a deep and professional relationship similar to other past Captains and First Commands but, just because they's the opposite sex, it was not mandatory for them to become a couple.
I had hoped that when the Season 2 trailer for Prodigy was released, Gwyn's heavy presence would suggest that viewers would get some answers on where she and Dal stood. Unfortunately, Dal only referenced the kiss once and, thanks to an interruption in their frequency, it's unclear if Gwyn heard the inquiry about whether she and Dal were a romantic item. Hopefully, Star Trek fans are taking the Prodigy creators' advice and helping the series get renewed for Season 3 so that more answers to those romance questions might arrive eventually.
At this time, Prodigy Season 3 is not listed on the scheudle of upcoming Trek shows that are in development but, as someone who hailed it the best-serialized story in franchise history , I'm crossing my fingers. I'm wanting to see where this crew goes on future adventures now that they're officially a part of Starfleet and, of course, like, Kate Mulgrew, I'm down for a potential Dal and Gwyn romance and want to see what lies ahead for the characters.
Stream Star Trek: Prodigy on Netflix, as fans await word on whether or not it'll return for Season 3. In the meantime, you can also check out the 2024 TV schedule for info on new shows that are headed your way.

‘Star Trek’ And ‘Galaxy Quest’ Join Forces In ‘Fleet Command’ Game – Watch Launch Trailer
![characters in star trek prodigy](https://trekmovie.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/stfc-gq-head.jpg)

This year is the 25th anniversary of the film Galaxy Quest , an homage to the Star Trek franchise and fandom. Now the Star Trek: Fleet Command game is introducing a new Galaxy Quest story arc with exclusive missions, character unlocks, and special in-game awards.
Never give up, never surrender in Fleet Command
This morning Fleet Command publisher Scopely announced Thermians and Trek fans are set to unite for an “extraordinary crossover event that brings Galaxy Quest’s iconic characters and thrilling adventures to the expansive universe of Star Trek Fleet Command .” The crossover launches today and promises to deliver “a captivating blend of humor, nostalgia, and epic space battles.”
Here is the synopsis of the event:
In these new challenges, Galaxy Quest ’s “Jason Nesmith” inadvertently sends the NSEA Protector and her crew hurtling through the space-time continuum, launching themselves into the Star Trek Fleet Command universe. Soon attacked by the Fatu-Krey and Orion vessels, their attempt to return home using the Omega 13 device instead sends them back in time, where they meet the captain of the USS Enterprise, James T. Kirk.
Check out the launch trailer…
“For more than five years, Star Trek Fleet Command has been the ultimate destination for avid fans to immerse themselves in the Star Trek universe and connect with other fans around the world,” said Scopely’s Fleet Command General Manager Conor Crowley in a statement. “In this newest collaboration with ‘Galaxy Quest’ we’re bringing something entirely new to our players that pays homage to Star Trek fandom in a hilarious way, while staying true to the spirit of both franchises.”

too bad this “game” costs an arm and a leg, officers take literally thousands of dollars to uprade and ships take multiple years to unlock(unless of course you’re willing to spend an entire month’s paycheck to get it early)
I played this game when it first came out and it was sort of fun…. for a while. Then I got constantly pulverized by other players that basically shove money into the game. The game went from “sort of fun” to exasperating to play.
Galaxy Quest is my favorite Trek movie. :D
I’ll go so far as to say it is the most satisfying Trek movie, as in, my appreciation doesn’t come ladled with complaints, like they do for the three Trek movies I really love. Just watched it again a couple weeks back after not seeing it for something like five years, and man, it still absolutely works from start to finish, funny but also very emotionally engaging.
I’m always amazed at how effective Tim Allen is in the role, but often found Sigourney Weaver’s face (yes, I’m talking about her face) distracting, it was like they covered the natural texture or did something to it to make her look like every other person in Hollywood, and it seems like most things I’ve seen her in since also reflect this change (and it doesn’t look like aging, more the reverse.)
I’ve been meaning to revisit that film as well. It’s been a long time.
The VFX are really really good, and the crash into the con at the end is still breathtaking.
Galaxy Trek could work as a Deadpool-esque crossover movie starring Tim Allen, Sigourney,.Sam Rockwell etc and Shatner (with some TNG etc cameos)
Maybe a CGI Shatner……
Shatner deaged to 1990s era.
Plotwise i’m imagining something ridiculous/convenient like the GQ crew are battling Sarris’ species who are creating a rip in spacetime to destroy the Protector in the past, Big explosion and the Protector ends up in the Star Trek universe.. they meet Shatner Kirk (pre Generations) who ends up stealing the Enterprise-A to help them, then it goes off the rails with meta comedy, timetravel, alt timelines, cameos (TNG/Ent D, Seven, Pike, JJ crew, multiple Spocks).. Box office 850m and counting ..
It has to be an animation of Shatner. All he has left in the tank these days are gigs where he sits and talks. Taking on an action flick would kill him. Disney dropped a mountain of money deaging Harrison Ford. Indiana Jones is arguably as well-known a character as James Kirk, and Dial of Destiny was a disaster. Selling this concept would require it be made on the cheap. Real cheap…..
Might have the an animated P+ movie (could include a Rickman soundalike then too).
Animated in 80s cartoon style (when GQ was supposed to be on TV and Trek films were at their peak)
Spielberg should have directed DoD, he would made it better.
I walked out of Crystal Skull feeling like I needed a penicillin shot. It destroyed any interest I’d have in the further adventures of grandad Indy. The character’s great, but like Bond, it won’t hurt to recast Indy from time to time.
CS had its moments but Spielberg’s heart was not in it. He showed more passion for this kind of action with ‘tin tin’.
A film concept artist on Instagram revealed his art for Spielberg/Koepp version of Indy 5 which wasn’t the Dial of Destiny, had young Indy in Chinese temples, Nazi submarine and locomotive, and a Lara Croft type sidekick (either Ana De Armes or Felicity Jones from Rogue 1)
Sad news- patti yasutake r i p
Would’ve loved for Nurse (or Doctor!) Ogawa to show in Picard, or even Prodigy! Rest in Peace and Power, Patti! 🪷
Sad news, the actress who played Nurse Ogawa on TNG died. Reported by The Hollywood Reporter.
This deserves coverage. Such a delightful actress, and a lovely character. To hell with cancer.
It deserves a story at least as much as a money-sucking video game, but topics like this seem passe on this site.
It was mentioned on their social media sites.
And for those that prefer not to visit those sites? I gave up on FB ages ago, between the scam ads and toxic attitudes. I can catch up with family vacation pics when we get together :D .. Twitter er X er no thanks won’t feed that guy’s ego, and TikTok is the land of faux experts. I prefer a curated website like this one. It is more work, of course, than simply posting a blurb on Twitter or FB.
I came here specifically looking for a tribute.
The only game I’m interested in is Grand Theft Auto 6.
The “played by” Tag ist pretty much missleading. It indicates that the characters are voiced by the og actors.
Rickman being no longer alive is a bit of a giveaway there.
Is Galaxy Quest currently owned by Paramount?
I’d say add The Orville, but that’s Disney.
Looking over it, Paramount took over DreamWorks (who made Galaxy Quest) almost 20 years ago, but sold off the DreamWorks film library shortly after. And apparently Paramount and DreamWorks parted ways again some years later. So no idea who owns what.
Looking it up, it seems Paramount bought back the library but sold the studio. The DVD is distributed by Paramount and all future plans (various plans for a TV series, mostly) are being handled (or not) by Paramount.
This strongly makes me wish I enjoyed or still played this game. I love the idea, at least!
It’s sad times when Galaxy Quest seems far less of a parody/joke than nuTrek.
I always laugh at people who say Galaxy Quest is a Trek movie — even putting aside those who say it’s the BEST trek movie. It doesn’t look like Trek, it doesn’t feel like Trek, it doesn’t use the name Star Trek. It’s not Star Trek. Same with Orville. Might as well call anything with a space ship and an intergalactic empire Star Trek.
Also, this crossover is fun, but that’s all it really is. Of course, I find it hard to believe they got Alan Rickman back as the article implies. Bad writing, that.
I think it looked like the way Trek wanted to look (regarding space exteriors anyway), but couldn’t afford.
Was Las Vegas a bust? No new news?

In Season 5 of Star Trek: Lower Decks , the crew of the U.S.S. Cerritos is tasked with closing "space potholes" — subspace rifts which are causing chaos in the Alpha Quadrant.

This upcoming season is a celebration of this underdog crew who are dangerously close to being promoted out of the lower decks and into strange new Starfleet roles.
