Following the previous introduction to Cadet Uhura, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has released a new promotional video introducing La’an Noonien Singh, played by Christina Chong. The video confirms that La’an is the Enterprise’s chief security officer under Captain Christopher Pike. It also shows a meeting between her and Science Officer Spock, foreshadowing the future meetings between Spock and La’an’s ancestor, Khan Noonien Singh. The video does not specify the exact nature of La’an’s lineage. It also does not specify whether she has any of the same genetically-modified capabilities that Khan had. The video does reveal that La’an is the last survivor of some tragedy, which seems to drive her forward. You can watch the video below.
