Star Trek (film franchise) characters

Captain Styles

This article lists characters of Star Trek in their various canonical incarnations. This includes fictional major characters and fictional minor characters created for Star Trek, fictional characters not originally created for Star Trek, and real-life persons appearing in a fictional manner, such as holodeck recreations.

Bajoran characters are listed by family name, which is stated first.

Joined Trills are listed by the name of the symbiont, which replaces the family name.

In fan literature of the Star Trek Expanded Universe, Fleet Admiral Nogura is said to be an old friend of the Kirk family who served with James Kirk's father.

Nogura's given name is "Heihachiro" in the novelization of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, authored by Gene Roddenberry, and the novels Enterprise, detailing the first days of Kirk's command, and The Lost Years, showing the end of the five-year mission. Also in the movie novelization, Nogura is identified as the "Commanding Admiral" of Starfleet.

Pazlar came to the station before a mapping mission to the Gamma Quadrant. Because the gravity on DS9 was too strong for her, she had to rely on either a wheelchair, or an exoskeletal network of flexible metal beams worn over her body to help her move around the station. Doctor Julian Bashir devised a treatment to help her walk like the other humanoids on the station. Pazlar started the treatment, but when she realized that she wouldn't be able to enjoy low-gravity environments any more, she decided to discontinue the process.

The character was originally developed to be the regular science officer on the series. However, logistics made it difficult to use the effects required on a regular basis, and the character was used as a guest appearance instead.

Little is known about Pike's personal life. According to dialog in "The Cage", Pike is from the city of Mojave in North America on Earth in Southern California, and at one point owned a horse named "Tango."

Hikaru Sulu

Hikaru Sulu

Hikaru Sulu is a fictional character in the Star Trek media franchise. Originally known simply as "Sulu", he was portrayed by George Takei in the original Star Trek series. Sulu also appears in the animated Star Trek series, the first six Star Trek movies, one episode of Star Trek: Voyager, and in numerous books, comics, and video games. Sulu's first name, "Hikaru", appeared in a 1981 novel well over a decade after the original series had ended. John Cho assumed the role of the character in both the 2009 film Star Trek and its sequels, Star Trek Into Darkness and Star Trek Beyond.

Takei recalled Gene Roddenberry wanted the character to represent all of Asia, which symbolized the peace of the Trek universe in spite of the numerous wars in the continent. Roddenberry did not want a nationally specific surname, so he looked at a map and saw the Sulu Sea. "He thought, 'Ah, the waters of that sea touch all shores'," the actor recalled, "and that's how my character came to have the name Sulu." Historically, Sulu was a Muslim sultanate founded in 1405 until March 1915 when the Sultan abdicated when it had become part of the United States. The island province of Sulu continued to be a US territory until 1946, when as part of the Philippines independence from the US was gained.

In the book Inside Star Trek: The Real Story, the character's name is noted as a pun on the name of vice president of Desilu Studios, Herb Solow.

Novelist Vonda McIntyre first presents 'Hikaru' as the character's first name in the novel The Entropy Effect. McIntyre derived the character's first name from The Tale of Genji. Although McIntyre was unaware at the time of any controversy surrounding her giving Sulu a first name, editor David Hartwell had to clear the name with Gene Roddenberry and Takei in order to supersede Paramount's objections. However, the name did not become canon until its mention in Star Trek VI, and it was included only after Peter David, who authored the film's comic book adaptation, visited the set and persuaded director Nicholas Meyer to insert it.

Uhura

Nyota Uhura

Nyota Uhura /niËËˆoÊŠtÉ™ ÊŠËˆhÊŠrÉ™/ is a fictional character in the Star Trek franchise. The character was portrayed by Nichelle Nichols through the sixth Star Trek film. Since 2009, a younger Uhura has been portrayed by actress Zoe Saldana.

Uhura is a translator and communications officer who specializes in linguistics, cryptography, and philology. She was an important part of the original series' multicultural crew and one of the first characters of African descent to be featured in a non-menial role on an American television series.

Gene Roddenberry had intended his new female communications officer to be called "Lieutenant Sulu".Herb Solow pointed out how similar this was to "Zulu" and thought it might act against the plan for racial diversity in the show, so the name Sulu remained with George Takei's character. "Uhura" comes from the Swahili word , meaning "freedom". Nichols states in her book Beyond Uhura that the name was inspired by her having had with her a copy of Robert Ruark's book Uhuru on the day she read for the part. When producer Robert Justman explained to Roddenberry what the word uhuru meant, he changed it to Uhura and adopted that as the character's name. Coincidentally, the end credits of the film Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country incorrectly refer to Uhura as "Uhuru".
