Una's fate

[trekfan_1]

Perhaps I'm an uninformed trek fan thats not in on it, but is there a consensus out there on what Una's fate is (i.e longevity) in Starfleet.?/Srar Trek? Or is it a totally open canvass?

In "Those Old Soldiers " there's some strong foreshadowing by the Lower Decks characters that Una has a tragic fate ( If I interpreted it correctly....Did I?)

Ive never been huge on non cannon stuff . Is there any memory beta speculations on what happened to her from an in-universe historical perspective? Are we in consensus that she has some sort of tragic fate? Or I'm wrong thinking this is a given? I just don't get the feeling she will live to a ripe old age after a long storied Starfleet career. But maybe I'm wrong with this assumption.

For what it's worth, the recent LEGACIES book trilogy has her becoming the captain of the Yorktown in Kirk's time.

(Full disclosure: I wrote Book One of that trilogy, Captain to Captain.)

She becomes one with the computer.

I believe we're supposed to think that at first, but a later scene makes it clear what the non-tragic-fate-issue actually is.

Total open canvas.

No. Her and Pike speculate she might have a tragic fate based on the way Boimler acted around her, but we learn at the end of the episode he was just nervous around here because of his admiration for her.

 

[F. King Daniel]

She was literally the poster girl for Starfleet recruitment in Boimler's time. That's why he was anxious. He has her poster in his bunk drawer.

Right. That was deliberate misdirection. We're led to believe that Una has some tragic fate awaiting her, but that turns out to be a red herring . . .

She becomes one with the computer.

Peter David (in the "New Frontiers" novels) was not the first to riff on the similarities between Number One's voice and the ship's computer.

DC Comic's first comic annual showed Number One suffering severe injuries during Pike's handover of the ship to Kirk, which is why Spock was given a promotion.

 

[Enterprise is Great]

Didn’t she get her legs crushed by something falling on her?
