Star Trek: Everything We NOW Know About The Lost Era

So, Khan Noonian-Singh has a surviving daughter...

Dr Rosalind Lear, clearly named for her father's admiration of the Bard, is revealed as Khan's child in Star Trek: Khan. Though in reality, there was very little shock in this bit of news, the implications could have far-reaching consequences for the quadrant at that time.

The Excelsior journeyed to Ceti Alpha V in the months following Kirk's apparent death aboard the Enterprise-B. Lear was then in her twenties. The twist, for the audience, was less that she was Khan's daughter, and more that she was fully aware of this. The closing moments of Khan reveal that she is very much alive and active, with Ensign Tuvok pledging to fight for the rights of Augments.

As Voyager historians will know, Tuvok then left the service for several decades (thanks a bunch, Tuvok), leaving Lear without an ally in Starfleet. Though she had dedicated her career to the pursuit of historical truth, she is also one of the last remnants of that age of eugenics in Earth's history. While Alok Sahar was at least a contemporary of Khan's, he is locked away as part of Section 31. He may seek Lear out once her parentage is revealed, though as of writing, that remains unknown.

Khan Noonian-Singh, he of at least several nieces (one of whom served in Starfleet in the 2250s and 60s), may be dead and gone, but his progeny lived on. Is Lear doomed to repeat her father's curse? Is the galaxy, now without Tuvok's support from within, ready to ostracise yet another augmented individual? We know that by the 2370s, genetically engineered people were still barred from serving in Starfleet. What life did, or possibly does, Dr Rosalind Lear face during the Lost Era?
