Rachel Garrett (Kacey Rohl) appears inStar Trek: Section 31, and I hope her life beforeStar Trek: The Next Generationkeeps being explored. Starring Academy Award winner Michelle Yeoh as Emperor Georgiou,Section 31will take place duringStar Trek’s"lost era" of the early 24th century.Although the film’s storyline remains unknown, it appears Georgiou will be recruiting team members for a top-secret Section 31 mission. Based on the teaser,Section 31looks unlike anyTrekthat has been done before, and I’m excited to see where the story goes.
Star Trek: Section 31’snew castlooks great. Michelle Yeoh is always phenomenal, of course, but Kacey Rohl’s Rachel Garrett is especially interesting. Originally played by Tricia O’Neill, Captain Garrett was introduced inStar Trek: The Next Generationseason 3, episode 15, “Yesterday’s Enterprise,” as the Captain of the USS Enterprise-C. Although Garrett only appears in a couple of scenes, Rachel holds the distinction of being the first woman to command the Enterpriseand I have always wanted to learn more about her.Section 31’syoung RachelGarrett already looks very different from the one we met onTNG,and I want to see the character’s full journey.
Star Trek: Section 31will flash back to Philippa Georgiou’s childhood, revealing how she became the ruthless Mirror Universe Emperor.
Star Trek Should Tell More Stories About Enterprise Captain Rachel Garrett
Rachel Garrett Deserves To Be The Star Of Her Own Star Trek Story
In only oneStar Trek: The Next Generationepisode,Captain Rachel Garrettmade quite an impression. When the USS Enterprise-C emerges from a rift in spacetime, the USS Enterprise-D suddenly transforms into a battleship involved in a devastating war with the Klingons.Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) then has the unenviable task of informing Garrett of her doomed future, as history recorded the Enterprise-C as being destroyed. Even injured and grieving, Garrett realizes that something is off when she is brought to the Enterprise-D. When Captain Picard visits Garrett in sickbay, she questions him until he reveals that she and her ship have traveled 22 years into the future.

Star Trek’s current era on Paramount+ has lured several big-name and award-winning Hollywood actors to the franchise, many of whom raise eyebrows.
Garrett takes this revelation without even flinching, immediately worried about how her crew will take the news.I love the way this one scene paints Garret as a character.She comes across as an incredibly intelligent, skilled, and caring captain even on her worst day. I immediately wanted to know more about her, butStar Trekhas revealed very little about Garrett onscreen. WhileStar Trek: Section 31will hopefully answer some questions about the oft-forgotten Enterprise captain, I hopeStar Trekcontinues to tell more stories about her beyond theMichelle Yeoh-ledSection 31movie.
Star Trek’s “Lost Era” Is Full Of Fascinating Untold Stories
A Future Trek Project Could Answer A Lot Of Questions
I want to see a future project dive fully intoStar Trek’s"lost era.“Any series or film involving the USS Enterprise will find an audience, and I desperately want to see Captain Garrett in command of the Enterprise-C in all its glory. Whether in a full television series, a mini-series, or a series of films,Star Trekcould get a lot of mileage out of stories from the early 24th century.For example, I would love to learn what happened to the USS Enterprise-B afterStar Trek Generations,or maybe find out how the USS Bozeman got stuck in the time loop seen inStar Trek: The Next Generation’s"Cause and Effect.”
6 Star Trek Lost Era Questions Section 31 Movie Can Answer
Michelle Yeoh’s upcoming Star Trek: Section 31 could provide answers to several lingering questions about Star Trek’s lost era.
A story set duringStar Trek’s"lost era" could even check in on Picard during his command of the USS Stargazer.These are the kinds of projects I want to see as aStar Trekfan,ones that tell new stories, but fill in the gaps of establishedStar Trekcanon. It’s difficult to imagine a story flopping when it features a ship named Enterprise and a character as compelling as Rachel Garrett. I really hopeStar Trek: Section 31does well for many reasons, but partly because I want Kacey Rohl to stick around asStar Trek: The Next Generation’sRachel Garrett.
