Star Trek: Every Helmsman Ranked From Worst To Best

12. Keyla Detmer

Keyla's one of the most recent additions to the roster of Star Trek Helmsmen and easily the most quiet. After nearly three seasons of Star Trek: Discovery we still don't know much about her, other that she served on the USS Shenzhou before moving over to the USS Discovery, accompanying Saru.

While determined, we've seen Keyla show signs of nervousness and hesitation, but she's someone who has managed to summon up the skill necessary to handle the Discovery's dangerous spore drive, as well as take command of the ship when called upon (wonder how she'll deal with Tilly's sudden promotion... probably quietly).

Keyla was injured after the Battle of the Binary Stars, receiving a cranial and ocular implant to help her regain the use of her eye. One of the few times we've heard her speak is at the funeral of cyborg colleague Airiam, showing a definite human side to her.

Her most notable moment has only just occurred, piloting Book's fighter-ship in a daring attack run against the Emerald Chain. Hopefully, we see more of Keyla as time goes by.
