Lieutenant Saavik1
Species : Vulcans
A cadet aboard the Enterprise when it served as a training vessel, Saavik was a promising student even though she had some difficulty dealing with the Kobyashi Maru test. She served on the ship during the Genesis crisis, helping to defeat Khan during the Motarra Nebula battle.1 Later Saavik returned to the Genesis planet with Dr. David Marcus aboard the USS Grissom for scientific research. Whilst there the Grissom was destroyed by a Klingon Bird of Prey, leaving Saavik and Marcus marooned on the planet. She assisted the newly-regenerated Spock in passing through his first pon'farr. Dr. Marcus was subsequently killed by the Klingons when he attempted to prevent them from murdering Saavik; she escaped the planet with Admiral Kirk aboard the captured Bird of Prey and returned to Vulcan.2 Saavik remained on Vulcan when Kirk and his officers took the captured vessel back to Earth.3
