Why Soji Is Perfect For Star Trek: Section 31
If Section 31 can’t have Data, Soji is the next best thing.
IfStar Trek : subdivision 31involves time travel andEmperor Philippa Georgiourecruiting her own contraband ops team , Soji would be an ideal candidate . Not only has Soji been painfully underutilized sinceStar Trek : Picardseason 1 , but she bring numerous vantage that would be a blessing to Georgiou and Section 31 . Like her ' forefather , ' Data , Soji is super - thinking and possesses enhanced abilities like super strength . Soji can also pass for a human being and can be an infiltrator , something Data could not do before he was resurrected as a more human - like synthetic substance inStar Trek : Picardseason 3 .
Until he was loose by his USS Enterprise - five hundred gang inStar Trek : Picardseason 3 , Section 31 take possession of the rebuilt Data , who was designated Daystrom Android M-5 - 10 and provided security for the Daystrom Station mordant site .
Apossible premise where Emperor Georgiou cherry - clean her own Section 31 squad ofStar Trekcharacters from different erasshould logically lead her to Soji . As a tactical genius , Georgiou would like a shot see the note value of an android with Soji ’s capabilities struggle on her side . In turn , Soji may feel unrealised in her role as an embassador , and she might be intrigue by what working for Section 31 offers , such as knowledge of the darker side of Starfleet and the United Federation of Planets . Whether they are aligned as a new Section 31 squad or aim to take down the existing Section 31 agent , Soji and Georgiou would be a dynamic force . Georgiou and Soji working together would also be a bright squad - up of two ofStar Trek ’s most big and talented Asian actresses , Michelle Yeoh and Isa Briones .
Soji Returning In Star Trek: Legacy Is Looking Less Likely
There’s no movement by Paramount+ to produce Star Trek: Legacy.

Star Trek : Picardseason 3 endedwith a clear setup for a continuation of the USS Enterprise - GB under Captain Seven of Nine ( Jeri Ryan).Picardseason 3 ’s showrunner Terry Matalas also talk of his hopes to include more children ofStar Trek : The Next genesis ’s fictitious character inStar Trek : Legacy , and Soji would be at the top of that indirect request lean . After all , Soji has never met her ' father , ' Data , and that canyon consequence could be part ofStar Trek : Legacy .
A panorama were Data and Soji meet in Star Trek : Picard season 3 was scrapped due to time and budget .
alas , Paramount+ has made no movement to putStar Trek : Picard ’s spinoff into output , despite constant rooter requirement online and the populace wishes ofPicard ’s cast and bunch . This mean reference likeSoji will stay in limbosince no otherStar Trekseries is go down in the 25th century , althoughStar Trek : Prodigyseason 2 will explore an alternate 25th - century timeline that could potentially see an alt - Soji appear . However , ifStar Trek : plane section 31does call for Emperor Georgiou time - traveling , it could be the way to bring Soji back into action , at last .
Star Trek : part 31could premier in 2024 on Paramount+ .
