3. Nyota Uhura

Securing the bronze in our Trek-tastic ranking is none other than Cadet Nyota Uhura, whose voice and animated-self echo through the corridors of the U.S.S. Enterprise captures the beauty of a star in the making. Portrayed with a fun blend of resilience and curiosity by the incredible Celia Rose Gooding, this young incarnation of Uhura honors Nichelle Nichols’s original portrayal in Star Trek: The Original Series while charting a new course for the character’s rich legacy.

Uhura isn’t just at the communications console – she’s at the heart of Strange New Worlds, weaving her story into the fabric of the Enterprise with every confident step and every thoughtful word. Her journey on the iconic starship is a personal odyssey shaped by triumph and tragedy. Though the shadows of her past are around every corner, Uhura’s brilliance as a linguist and her ability to tune into the universe’s many frequencies resonate with an unshakable hope for the future.

She earns her spot at No. 3 on our list not only through her keen intellect and boundless enthusiasm, but through the undeniable humanity and relatability that she brings to the show, embodying the spirit of exploration that is Star Trek.
