6. La’an Noonien-Singh

La’an Noonien-Singh, coming in at No. 6, strikes an imposing figure amidst the constellation of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds characters. She’s a security powerhouse with a lineage as complex as a Vulcan chess game, bearing the name of the infamous mass murderer, Khan Noonien Singh. But don’t let her genetic legacy fool you – La’an is no villain. Her past stained by tragedy, her family lost to the merciless Gorn, but from this incredible amount of sorrow, she emerges not hardened but resilient – a testament to her unyielding spirit. Hell yes, girl.

La’an doesn’t cruise the cosmos for popularity. Her resolve is as unshakable, making her a rock-solid part of the Enterprise crew. Yet, it’s not all photon torpedoes and tactical maneuvers – there’s a touch of warmth in her core. The unlikely kinship she shares with Una, and their amusing diversion with Enterprise Bingo, gives us a peek at a camaraderie that endears her to us.

Holding the sixth spot, La’an is the crew’s vigilant guardian, a beacon of strength and complexity. And that makes her one of the most interesting and compelling characters in not just Strange New Worlds but the whole of the Star Trek universe.
