A science nut obsessed with all the tech on her starship, she’d rather spend her days exploring and solving scientific problems than engaging in the slavery and seduction others expect of the Orions. Perhaps even more interesting than Osyraa is Ensign D’Vana Tendi (voiced by Noël Wells), a science officer in the animated series Star Trek: Lower Decks.
She knows the Federation and the Emerald Chain would be stronger together, and is even willing to bring an end to the slave markets across the galaxy, at least as long as she can be pardoned for her crimes. There’s no more ruling from the shadows, and she’s a powerful political figure in addition to a crime boss, attempting to enter peace negotiations with the Federation after stealing their strongest ship and forcing her way into their protected compound. Unlike her predecessors on Enterprise and the original series, she’s shed the traditional skimpy space bikini for a simple black outfit without much flair, because she doesn’t need to use her body or her pheromones to trick men into doing what she wants. When Osyraa finally appears, it’s clear how far the Orions have come, even if they’re still indulging in a pirate-adjacent economy. Her name stirs fear in all who hear it, and her inept nephew is terrified of his fate after failing to stop Michael Burnham from causing chaos at a slave exchange he runs. Before we even meet her in the back half of the season, Osyraa’s terrifying presence looms.
