Star Trek TNG Reunion Kehleyr

Star Trek Picard, still of Nepenthe  and Hugh

Her decease in " reunification " at the handwriting of a tainted Klingon cruelly leave Alexander without a female parent and go away Worf alone to lift the boy he did n’t make love he had .

look at what a play , memorable , and terrifically play reference K’ehleyr was , her destruction feel unfeignedly annihilative .

5Liam Shaw

In just nine sequence ofStar Trek : Picardseason 3 , Captain Liam Shaw ( Todd Stashwick ) wangle to go from a part abominate by some sports fan to a darling devotee dearie .

Though Shaw sacrifice himself to keep pop open the original work party of the USS Enterprise - D , he was wipe out by member of his own crowd who had been assimilate , make his demise even more barbarous .

This was despite shaw ’s destruction in " vox,“picardseason 3 showrunner , terry matalas , has tell that if thepicardspin - offstar trek : legacygets pick up , liam shaw will make an appearing .

While it ’s indecipherable how this will be potential , Liam Shaw ’s returnwould for certain be a welcome one .

Star Trek DS9 Tears of the Prophets Jadzia Dax

4Hemmer

Despite only appear in six episode ofStar Trek : unknown New Worldsseason 1,Enterprise Chief Engineer Lt .

Hemmer(Bruce Horak ) made quite an imprint .

Not only was he a appendage of the Aenar , a singular foreign metal money seldom boast inStar Trek , but he was also a enthralling and likeable quality .

Star Trek Strange New Worlds Tomorrow Kirk

As an Aenar , Hemmer was unsighted and own telepathic power , and he choose to conjoin Starfleet despite his feeling in pacificism .

He was a case full of interesting contradiction in terms , with a grouchy , but at last deep kind personality .

InStrange New Worldsseason 1 , instalment 9 , " All Those Who tramp , " Lt .

Hemmer became infect with Gorn egg and opt to give himself rather than jeopardise his fellow gang phallus .

It finger in particular brutal to recede such a compelling character reference so shortly after he had been bring out .

3Trip Tucker

wipe out one of the independent persona of a show in the serial closing curtain feel peculiarly roughshod , but that was precisely whatStar Trek : Enterprisedid with Commander Trip Tucker ( Connor Trinneer ) .

misstep wait on as the Chief Engineer on the initiative under Captain Jonathan Archer ( Scott Bakula ) , and he in the end sacrifice himself to relieve his master .

head trip ’s demise was annihilating not only because he die in the last installment of the serial , but also because of the force his dying had on T’Pol ( Jolene Blalock ) , the go-ahead ’s Vulcan scientific discipline ship’s officer and Trip ’s former romanticistic mate .

This was in the serial finis ofenterprise , commander william riker ( johnathan frakes ) and counselor deanna troi ( marina sirtis ) chitchat a holodeck refreshment of the original enterprise ’s last delegacy in which head trip is vote out .

This was view trip-up ’s last was only hear via a holodeck programme , the doorway stay undefended forstar Trekto retcon Trip ’s demiseand institute the grapheme back in some manner .

2Jadzia Dax

Science Officer and join Trill , Jadzia Dax ( Terry Farrell ) was one ofStar Trek : Deep Space Nine’smost pop eccentric .

Jadzia ’s sharp end inDS9’sseason 6 installment " bout of the Prophets"was devastating for multiple grounds .

Besides being a darling grapheme , Jadzia was in a make love family relationship with Worf ( Michael Dorn ) and had just receive the intelligence that she and Worf could think nipper .

Dax had go to Deep Space Nine ’s Bajoran Shrine to give thanks the vaticinator , when Gul Dukat ( Marc Alaimo ) appear and mortally bruise her .

This was though dr. bashir keep the dax symbiote inside her , he could not keep open jadzia .

As one of the few primary mold member to go on aStar Trekshow , Jadzia Dax ’s expiry is one of the most grievous and cruelStar Trekdeaths .

1James T. Kirk ( dual )

The role ofCaptain James T. Kirk has expire more than onceover the grade of his appearing inStar Trek .

Kirk ’s ostensibly lasting last befall inStar Trek Generations .

This was after kirk come along to pass away when a explosion of push shoot the go-ahead , he end up in a heaven - comparable link kingdom .

Captain Jean - Luc Picard convince him to regress to the substantial public , only for Kirk to be kill while venture to contain the nefarious Dr. Tolian Soran ( Malcolm McDowell ) .

Kirk was able-bodied to make a deviation one last meter as he metaphorically give-up the ghost theStar Trektorch on to Captain Picard .

Another demise for a interlingual rendition of Captain Kirk ( now act by Paul Wesley ) fall out inStar Trek : unknown New Worldsseason 2 .

Much like Edith Keeler ( Joan Collins ) in theStar Trek : The Original Seriesexcellent " City on the Edge of Forever , " the substitute population Kirk in " Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow " die to facilitate bear on the right timeline .

La’an Noonien - Singh ( Christina Chong ) had develop to like for Kirk over the course of study of their dangerous undertaking , so his dying at the mitt of a Romulan undercover agent just when La’an had last give up to him is peculiarly savage .

This was star trekmay be about a utopian interlingual rendition of the hereafter , but that does not intend its fibre can always miss their tragical destiny .
