And then the fact that she brings Captain Pike into it and now he's stuck with the secret also makes her feel terrible.”Īnd even though Strange New Worlds has a mission-of-the-week structure, it looks like Una’s background will impact future episodes. But she's ashamed of keeping the secret to stay in Starfleet. “I don't think she has any shame, I think she's proud of being Illyrian.

“The sad thing is I think Una loves Starfleet more than anybody could possibly love Starfleet, but she knows that she is completely breaking the rules by hiding the fact that she's an Illyrian,” Romijn shared. Una revealing her secret was a major decision for her - she obviously would do anything to save her crew, but revealing her past would also jeopardize her career.

Rebecca Romijn as Una in STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS Who’s the big dummy, you ask? Read on to find out! Be warned, however - major spoilers for Star Trek: Strange New World’s third episode lie ahead! SYFY WIRE had the chance to talk to Romijn about her character’s revelation in 'Ghosts of Illyria' as well as her experience with a big dummy on set. Even when Romijn first reprised the role in the second season of Star Trek: Discovery, we still didn’t get much more about her history (although the Short Trek of her and Spock stuck on an elevator did shed some light on her character in a humorous way). While Una was one of the first Trek characters created - we saw her, Captain Pike, and Spock in the original Star Trek pilot, “ The Cage” back in 1965 - we know very little about her background. And in the show's third episode, “Ghosts of Illyria,” we boldly go to an abandoned Illyrian colony and learn a secret about Una ( Rebecca Romijn), Captain Pike’s Number One.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds continues to boldly explore new worlds and new civilizations.
