Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Can Have Its Own Data

Soong-type androids don’t grow on trees

Fred was a synthetic who worked as a fence on the planet Q’Mau when he was introduced inStar Trek : Discovery season 5 . A Soong - case android with the serial number AS0572Y , Fred was part of the universe of synthetic substance created by Dr. Altan Inigo Soong ( Brent Spiner ) on the planet Coppelius inStar Trek : Picard . Fred survived for hundreds of years before his foreboding run - in with Moll and L’ak . The hibernating Fred was brought aboard the USS Discoverywhere the android was examined by Commander Paul Stamets ( Anthony Rapp ) andDr . Hugh Culber ( Wilson Cruz ) .

Altan Soong was the Word of Dr. Noonien Soong ( Brent Spiner ) , who created Data inStar Trek : The Next propagation .

Star Trek : Discoverynever reactivated Fred , but the datum - like humanoid could find a new liveliness inStar Trek : Starfleet Academy . A Soong - synthetic substance could be very worthful to Starfleet Academy in a few fashion . A animate Fred , who may be reprogrammed to no longer be a condemnable mover of trade good , could answer as an instructor at Starfleet Academy . Or Fred could be an unusual mentor to the Cadets . Even deactivated , Fred could be useful to future Starfleet engineerswho want to memorize the intricacies of synthetical and positronic technology .

Can Brent Spiner’s Data Appear In Star Trek: Starfleet Academy?

Data’s mortality changed in Star Trek: Picard

While Fred could be a fun addition to thecast ofStar Trek : Starfleet Academy , Star Trekfans would be even more delighted if Brent Spiner recapitulate Data once more - but could it encounter ? Unfortunately , byStar Trek : Discovery ’s thirty-second hundred , Data would be long dead . After he was reconstruct with a new synthetic eubstance , with the personalities of Lore , B-4 , and Lal ( Hallie Todd ) merge into his brain , Data was given the endowment of mortality by Dr. Altan Soong . datum will grow old and die ( of instinctive causes ) as ofStar Trek : Picardseason 3 , and it ’s doubtful Data would survive another 790 class intoDiscovery ’s remote future .

Star Trek is missing a certain positronic electric discharge without a yellow - eyed android .

However , Data could always appear as a holograph , in flashbacks , or though some other science fable shenanigans . IfStar Trek : Starfleet Academyneeds the religious service of Brent Spiner , he may be unforced to reprise Data once more . Star Trekfans are hoping for Spiner to retrovert as Data ifStar Trek : Picard ’s offer spinoff , Star Trek : Legacy , happens . But barring the return of Data , Star Trek : Starfleet Academycould have the next best matter in Fred . After all , Star Trekis omit a sure positronic light without a yellow - eyed mechanical man .
