Robert Picardo’s character, the Doctor, is a standout in this group. He appeared throughout all seven seasons of Star Trek: Voyager and season two of Prodigy. As a hologram, he’s essentially immortal and, by the time of Starfleet Academy, is around 900 years old, having been activated in the 24th century. Holly Hunter’s Captain Nahla Ake, a newcomer to Star Trek, is also centuries old – over 400 years – due to her Lanthanite heritage. In the fifth episode of Starfleet Academy, “Series Acclimation Mil,” these two long-lived characters became a trio. Now, the show is poised to give all three of them a major focus.

Maggie truly shines, and honestly, it’ll make you see her in a whole new light.
