A Forgotten Star Trek: Voyager Legacy Character Is Perfect For Seven Of Nine’s Enterprise

   

A forgotten Star Trek: Voyager character would make a perfect addition to the cast of Star Trek: Legacy, the proposed Star Trek: Picard spin-off about Captain Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan). Star Trek: Picard season 3 introduced some adult children of Star Trek: The Next Generation characters: namely, Jack Crusher (Ed Speleers), the son of Dr. Beverly Crusher (Gates McFadden) and Admiral Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart), and Commodore Geordi La Forge's (LeVar Burton) daughters, Ensign Sidney La Forge (Ashlei Sharpe Chestnut) on the USS Titan-A, and Ensign Alandra La Forge (Mica Burton) with Geordi at the Starfleet Museum.

Star Trek: Voyager's later seasons featured a romance between Lieutenant Tom Paris (Robert Duncan McNeill) and Lieutenant B'Elanna Torres (Roxann Dawson). Despite Star Trek: Voyager's reset button often returning character relationships to the status quo with each new episode, Tom and B'Elanna's Star Trek romance lasted, and changed both characters for the better. In Star Trek: Voyager season 7, Paris and Torres got married off-screen and later found out they were expecting a child. Named after her Klingon grandmother, Miral Paris was born in 2378, just before the USS Voyager's return to the Alpha Quadrant.

Paris & B’Elanna’s Forgotten Star Trek: Voyager Daughter Is Perfect For Captain Seven Of Nine’s Enterprise

Miral Paris Should Be Part Of Seven Of Nine's Star Trek: Legacy Crew

Tom Paris and B'Elanna Torres' daughter in Star Trek: Voyager would be a great character for Captain Seven of Nine's USS Enterprise-G. Miral Paris would be 24 years old in 2402 when Star Trek: Picard season 3's epilogue takes place, so Miral is in roughly the same age bracket as the La Forge sisters and Jack Crusher. The alternate 2404 of Star Trek: Voyager's series finale, "Endgame", showed a young adult Miral Paris as a Starfleet ensign, played by Lisa LoCicero. The "Endgame" timeline was destroyed, but Miral Paris could still continue her family's Starfleet legacy in the Prime Timeline.

Miral Paris shares Star Trek: Voyager ties with Captain Seven of Nine, making Miral's addition to the USS Enterprise-G crew a no-brainer. Little was seen of Miral Paris in the Prime Timeline, but in the "Endgame" timeline, Miral was a Starfleet officer whose personality was much like B'Elanna's: tough and inventive. In Star Trek: Voyager season 7, episode 14, "Prophecy", Miral was prophesied to be the Kuvah'magh, a Klingon religious figure whose DNA would provide the basis of a desperately needed cure. Miral's role as the Kuvah'magh could play into a Star Trek: Legacy storyline.

Picard’s Star Trek: Legacy Spinoff Is Years Away If It Happens

Star Trek: Legacy Has Potential Cast Members, But No Greenlight Yet

Of course, for an adult Miral Paris to show up on Star Trek: Legacy, there needs to be a plan for Star Trek: Legacy to be produced, and that probably won't be for a few more years, if it happens at all. Star Trek: Picard season 3 showrunner Terry Matalas will be booked for the foreseeable future with Marvel's Vision series, due in 2026; and Enemy Mine, and a Magic: the Gathering Netflix animated series. If Star Trek: Legacy gets greenlit at all, Matalas wouldn't be available until 2026, at the earliest. That pushes Star Trek: Legacy out to 2027 or later.

Plenty of familiar Star Trek legacy characters can comprise the USS Enterprise-G crew.

That's not to say that Star Trek: Legacy can't or won't happen at all, just that if it does, it's going to be a while. There's still fan demand for the Star Trek: Picard spin-off series, and plenty of familiar Star Trek legacy characters can comprise the USS Enterprise-G crew. Jack Crusher and Sidney La Forge were present in Star Trek: Picard's epilogue, as was Picard's Commander Raffi Musiker (Michelle Hurd) as Seven's Number One. By including characters like Star Trek: Voyager's Miral Paris, Star Trek: Legacy opens the door to revisiting children from all the 90s era Star Trek shows.
