Star Trek legend Nana Visitor has brought back her Deep Space Nine character Kira Nerys for a short but sweet new adventure.
In Lost and Found, the latest animated short from Scopely, the team behind the game Star Trek Fleet Command, the crew of the Realta joins forces with Major Kira Nerys (who’s on board the USS Defiant).
They’re tasked with investigating the disappearance of a Starfleet training vessel along the edge of Federation Space – but they discover the ship is far from empty, with Major Kira and co encountering an old enemy.
Major Kira is forced to grapple with the loss of the crew of the Adelphi and report back to Captain Sisko before salvaging the remains of the ship.
But she points out to the crew of the Realta: “I can’t shake the feeling that this is the beginning of something terrible” – leaving the short on a very settling note indeed.

It’s not the first time these shorts have seen a Star Trek legend return, with previous instalments featuring LeVar Burton as Geordi La Forge, Christina Chong as La’an Noonien-Singh, and Jeffrey Combs as Weyoun.
TrekMovie reports that the Scopely has previously described these shorts as “canon-adjacent”.
Visitor first played Bajoran military liaison Kira Nerys in Deep Space Nine from 1993 to 1999. She later returned to voice the character in the animates series Lower Decks.
Previously speaking to SlashFilm about playing Kira for all those years, Visitor said: “Those seven years were like dog years. One year equals seven years. So I was Kira for 49 years, and she is so ingrained in me.
“Really, she actually shifted who I was… I was shifted by this character in really good ways, in having to accept foibles and having to self-examine. She did a lot of good for me. So it’s joyful for me to step into who she is.”
