Starfleet Academy Wall of Heroes: Clues to Fate of SNW Characters

Are you curious about the fate of some beloved characters from Star Trek: Strange New Worlds? Well, the Wall of Heroes at Starfleet Academy may have given us a clue. It listed La’an Noonien Singh and Erica Ortegas as lieutenants, but interestingly, Number One, Una Chin-Riley, was nowhere to be found.

For those new to the Star Trek universe, La’an and Erica are original characters from Strange New Worlds, set 800 years in the future as lieutenants. But what about Number One, who is already the second in command of the USS Enterprise? Shouldn’t she have a more prestigious rank by then?

Could the absence of Number One’s name on the Wall of Heroes suggest a dark fate for her in upcoming seasons of Strange New Worlds? And what about La’an and Erica—do they face a similar destiny?

In a recent interview, Melissa Navia, who plays Erica Ortegas, didn’t reveal any spoilers about her character’s future. It seems showrunners Akiva Goldsman and Henry Alonso Myers are keeping their cards close to their chests.
