10 "No Body, No Death" Cases In Star Trek

The return of Sito Jaxa would raise a lot of questions in the Star Trek universe. Where has she been all this time? Was she a prisoner of the Cardassians? I think it's safe to assume that she wasn't - as surely that would have been addressed during Deep Space Nine's run. 

Could she have simply escaped the destruction of her pod and started a new life somewhere? It may seem at odds with her sense of duty, and her commitment to Starfleet, but stranger things have happened. 

Jaxa's appearance in Lower Decks served to satiate those who felt her death was upsetting and sudden. Though it wasn't reversed, it was wonderful to hear Shannon Fill's voice once more. What would be even better would be her return to Starfleet - let's say, post-coma - and take up her old post, yet on the Enterprise-G this time. 

We're not saying that must happen, but since there was never a body to bury, we're saying it could happen - let us dream!
