'Strange New Worlds': Why Are Illyrians Banned From the Federation?
Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2. It didn't take long in the second season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds to return to a flashpoint surrounding the identity of one of its most prominent characters. Specifically, viewers were shown in the first season's episode "Ghosts of Illyria" that Una Chin-Riley , the USS Enterprise's First Officer, is an Illyrian.
The Augments and the Eugenics Wars In the 20th century of Star Trek's canon timeline, advancements in DNA sequencing allowed humankind to begin creating genetically-enhanced individuals. Anything ordinary humans could do, these "Augments" could do better; improved strength and speed, resistance to energy weapons, a doubled lifespan on average, and they could even destroy various infections and diseases in their body's ecosystem.
The only problem was that Khan and his followers had managed to flee prosecution, slipping aboard an early space vessel known as the SS Botany Bay. Earth's governments kept news of the missing Augments under wraps to avoid public panic, but Khan and his followers would resurface in the 23rd Century after Captain James T. Kirk had assumed command of the USS Enterprise from Captain Christopher Pike after the latter's promotion to Fleet Captain.
However, a young Augment named Malik and his "brother" Saul departed Trialas IV with many of their comrades and commandeered a Klingon Bird-of-Prey, causing a diplomatic disaster that drew United Earth to the brink of war with the Klingon Empire. Enterprise was dispatched to the lawless Borderland to apprehend the Augments, and Arik Soong was brought on board to navigate the situation without resorting to violence.
Soong is retrieved and brought back aboard Enterprise, joining the crew in stopping the Augments despite suspicions surrounding his loyalties. Fortunately, Captain Archer's faith in the geneticist pays off when the team evades a boarding attempt by a Klingon battlecruiser and catches up to the Augments, ultimately disabling the Bird-of-Prey. Malik overloads the ship's Dilithium matrix, presumptively killing him and the other Augments aboard in the explosion.
