Seven of Nine

Seven of Nine , born Annika Hansen , was a Human female who lived during the latter half of the 24th century into the early 25th century .

Assimilated by the Borg at the age of six and redesignated Seven of Nine, Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix 01 . Twenty-four years later , Seven , as she was later known, was liberated from life as a Borg drone by the crew of the USS Voyager and joined the crew under Captain Janeway 's mentorship. She was critical in assisting the crew's return to the Alpha Quadrant in 2378 .

Seven was initially rejected by Starfleet for her Borg past, and chose instead to join the Fenris Rangers , helping instill justice in lawless and dangerous regions. Instrumental in the forging of a truce with a new Borg faction, she was given a field commission by Admiral Picard and joined Starfleet as a commander and first officer of the USS Titan -A . Following the destruction of the Borg, Seven was promoted to the rank of captain and given command of the USS Enterprise -G .

Early life [ ]

Annika and her parents

Annika was born in 2344 , on stardate 25479, at the Tendara colony as the only daughter of eccentric Federation exobiologists Magnus and Erin Hansen . ( VOY : " Dark Frontier ")

During her childhood, she never visited Earth . ( VOY : " Hunters ") Her favorite color growing up was red . ( VOY : " The Gift ") She wanted to grow up to be a ballerina . ( VOY : " One Small Step ")

Annika once stayed with her Aunt Irene . Her favorite treats were strawberry tarts , which Irene used to coax Annika out of a guest room in which she had locked herself. She was very strong-willed and did not hesitate to point out if the strawberries used in baking the tarts were not perfectly ripe. ( VOY : " Author, Author ")

According to her aunt, Annika was six when she visited her. This age clearly conflicts with the ages given, and passage of time previously associated with, when she and her parents later departed the quadrant.

Time on the Raven [ ]

Annika Hansen aboard the Raven

Annika's parents were exobiologists investigating the existence of the Borg. After a great deal of persuasion, the Federation granted the Hansens the use of the USS Raven , a small long-range craft, to aid them in their investigation.

During the late 2340s , they took Annika, then aged four, along with them. They spent a good deal of time aboard the Raven in search of the Borg. ( VOY : " Dark Frontier ") One memorable event Annika shared aboard the vessel during their three year trek was the celebration of her sixth birthday: her birthday cake , at the time, had six candles , with one to grow on. ( VOY : " The Raven ")

At some point, the Hansens encountered a Borg cube and followed it through its transwarp conduit into the Delta Quadrant , the Borg's region of origin. They gathered a great deal of scientific data on the biology of Borg drones and the nature of the Collective by moving undetected through Borg space due to multi-adaptive shielding , invented by Magnus Hansen. They even went aboard Borg vessels, using bio-dampeners to remain undetected.

Their research came to an abrupt end in 2350 when an ion storm struck the Raven . The ship sustained damage, including, most importantly, damage to the multi-adaptive shielding, which went off-line for 13.2 seconds . This left them exposed long enough for the Borg to detect them and perceive them as a target for assimilation . The Hansens tried to evade pursuit by masking the Raven 's warp trail , but the Borg still managed to pursue and find them. ( VOY : " Dark Frontier ")

They and their daughter were promptly captured and assimilated near B'omar space . Naturally, the experience was traumatizing for the six-year old; decades later, the memory of being injected with stabilizing metals so the body could handle nanoprobes would cause her to recall the smell and taste of them, taking her back to the horror of that moment. ( VOY : " The Raven ", " Once Upon a Time "; PIC : " Mercy ")

Life as a Borg drone [ ]

Seven of Nine, Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix 01

Annika was placed in a maturation chamber , where the hive mind began to restructure her synaptic pathways and purge her individuality. She emerged as a Borg drone five years later in 2355 , the turmoil of her forcible assimilation replaced with order, and spent the next eighteen years in the Collective with the designation: Seven of Nine, Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix 01 .

As a drone, she assisted in the assimilation of millions, from individuals to entire species . She personally assimilated many individuals from a variety of species, including Humans, Klingons , Ferengi , Bajorans , Bolians , Krenim , and Cardassians . ( VOY : " Infinite Regress ", " Collective ")

In early 2368 , the Borg sphere that Seven of Nine, along with three other drones in her unimatrix , crash landed on a planet in the Delta Quadrant. The other drones, who were assimilated as adults, began to regain their identities upon being severed from the Borg Collective, but Seven was frightened as she knew nothing else but life as a drone. She forcibly linked the other drones together into a temporary collective in order to suppress their identities, and they were retrieved soon after. ( VOY : " Survival Instinct ") Seven of Nine remained a Borg drone until 2374, when she was liberated. ( VOY : " Scorpion, Part II ", " The Gift ")

USS Voyager [ ]

Torn from the collective [ ].

Disconnected from the Collective

During the brief war between the Borg and Species 8472 in late 2373, the USS Voyager was caught between the two belligerents. Seeking to protect her crew, and being made aware of the extreme threat to the galaxy posed by Species 8472, Captain Kathryn Janeway forged an alliance with the Borg, offering them the technology behind modified Borg nanoprobes which could be used as biological photon torpedo warheads against their common enemy, in exchange for safe passage through Borg space and non-assimilation. The Collective assigned Seven of Nine to work with Voyager to develop the weapon. When her cube sacrificed itself to save Voyager from an attacking 8472 bio-ship , she and a small number of drones beamed onto Voyager to continue the work. Janeway was severely injured, leaving her first officer , Commander Chakotay , in command. Seven of Nine wanted Voyager to go to another cube, but Chakotay refused. The drones attempted to commandeer Voyager 's navigation systems to take it to the nearest cube, but Chakotay decompressed the deck the drones were on, blowing them into space . Seven of Nine, however, managed to remain aboard. Instructed to do so by the Collective, she took Voyager into Species 8472's realm , forcing deployment of the modified nanoprobe torpedoes to protect the ship. A recovered Janeway resumed command and reinstated the alliance. The torpedoes proved effective. Now vulnerable, Species 8472 retreated. However, the Collective broke the alliance and Seven of Nine attempted to take Voyager to be assimilated. But this was anticipated and a contingency plan was successfully enacted which permanently severed her link to the Collective. Janeway decided to keep Seven of Nine aboard. ( VOY : " Scorpion ", " Scorpion, Part II ")

Seven confronts Janeway about being separated from the Collective

The transition back to Humanity was difficult for Seven of Nine. She appeared to accept her severance from the Collective, but tried to contact it at the first opportunity. She was stopped, however. ( VOY : " The Gift ")

The Doctor , Voyager 's holographic chief medical officer , was able to remove most of her implants and restore most of her Human appearance, but her long-term assimilation meant that some parts were vital to her survival and could not be removed. She also refused to be called by her name of Annika Hansen as Seven of Nine was the designation she had always known. But she accepted a shortened version, "Seven" at the suggestion of Captain Janeway. ( VOY : " Day of Honor ")

Shortly after Seven was freed from the collective, Voyager neared a moon in B'omar space, the location of the crashed wreck of the Raven , which had been partially assimilated by the Borg when they caught it. A Borg homing beacon aboard was still active. Seven began experiencing visions of a raven and flashbacks to the time she was assimilated. The beacon reactivated several of Seven's nanoprobes, giving her an irresistible drive to find the source of the beacon. She escaped Voyager in a shuttlecraft and flew to the moon, discovered the ship and recovered the entire memory of her assimilation. ( VOY : " The Raven ")

Seven's first real food after being severed from the Borg collective was chadre'kab . ( VOY : " The Raven ") She also developed a renewed fondness for strawberries, a food she had enjoyed in her childhood. ( VOY : " Author, Author ")

Scientific accomplishments [ ]

Seven of Nine at her station on the bridge

During her first few months on Voyager , Seven attempted to help the engineering crew modify the warp drive to generate transwarp conduits . The efforts failed, and almost cost Voyager its warp core in the process. ( VOY : " Day of Honor ")

Along with Ensign Harry Kim , Seven of Nine designed and constructed the ship's astrometrics lab, which used Borg technology to plot routes that trimmed several years off of Voyager 's journey. The lab became an important asset to Voyager and was Seven's domain for the rest of the journey. ( VOY : " Revulsion ", " Year of Hell ") Using the astrometrics lab, Seven discovered the Hirogen communications network , which allowed Voyager to temporarily receive messages from the Alpha Quadrant. ( VOY : " Hunters ") When monthly data streams and, later, real-time communication became possible, Seven helped implement enhancements to Voyager 's deflector dish . ( VOY : " Life Line ", " Author, Author ")

Seven developed a technique for using Borg nanoprobes to revive an individual who had been dead several hours. It was used on Neelix in 2374 . ( VOY : " Mortal Coil ")

A team led by Seven adapted a Borg design to contain and destroy Omega molecules found in the Delta Quadrant in 2374 . The molecules temporarily stabilized while in the chamber. Seven was the only one to see it happen; as the Borg considered the Omega Molecule to be "perfection" in its purest form (but had never been able to stabilize it), the former drone underwent what could be described as a religious experience when she saw Omega spontaneously stabilize. ( VOY : " The Omega Directive ")

Seven was part of the team which designed and built the Delta Flyer shuttlecraft in 2375 . She developed Borg-based technology and weapons for it. ( VOY : " Extreme Risk ")

Seven assisted in the construction of the quantum slipstream drive installed aboard Voyager in 2375 . In an alternate timeline, the use of the drive destroyed the ship, killing her and everyone else aboard. However, just after the drive was activated, a signal from that timeline was received by Seven via her cortical implants . This signal contained phase corrections that, when used, collapsed the slipstream, eliminating that timeline and saving the ship and crew. ( VOY : " Timeless ")

When Voyager crossed the territory of the anti-telepathic Devore in 2375 , Seven helped develop a transporter suspension technique in order to hide telepathic crewmembers and Brenari refugees. ( VOY : " Counterpoint ")

She also gave Voyager the possibility to use a transwarp coil, which was then used to save her from the Borg and then to advance twenty thousand light years towards home. ( VOY : " Dark Frontier ")

In 2376 , Seven developed enhancements to her alcove that allowed her to process information and make connections between various events while she regenerated. This allowed Seven to deduce that photonic fleas had been degrading sensor efficiency and that a catapult built by an alien named Tash employed a tetryon reactor like that of the Caretaker's array . However, the process overloaded her cortical implants, and she began drawing wild conclusions concerning Voyager 's mission and crew. She convinced Chakotay that Voyager 's presence in the Delta Quadrant was intentional and a prelude to a joint Federation/Cardassian invasion, while later telling Captain Janeway that Chakotay was organizing a Maquis rebellion, using technology of the Caretaker , to launch strikes on Federation and Cardassian targets. She then began to believe that Voyager was sent to the Delta Quadrant to retrieve her from the Borg Collective, and that she would be analyzed and dissected upon return to the Alpha Quadrant. She left the ship in the Delta Flyer , but Janeway was able to convince her that this 'conspiracy' was only a delusion caused by her alcove enhancements. She returned to Voyager and the enhancements were removed. ( VOY : " The Voyager Conspiracy ")

A hologram of Reginald Barclay was transmitted to Voyager in early 2377 . The hologram supposedly brought information to Voyager about using a geodesic fold to return the ship to the Alpha Quadrant. In reality, the hologram had been intercepted and reprogrammed by Ferengi , who wanted to harvest Seven of Nine's nanoprobes and sell them for profit. Although the holo-Barclay claimed modifications to the shields would protect Voyager while in the fold, Seven eventually discovered that the hologram was deceiving them. ( VOY : " Inside Man ")

Seven and Chakotay made first contact with the Ventu on Ledos before the start of a conference on that planet. Initially hesitant to reach out to the primitive race, Seven was so moved by her experiences with the Ventu that she convinced Janeway to restore the energy barrier protecting the Ventu's lands and customs from the Ledosians . ( VOY : " Natural Law ")

Moral conflicts [ ]

Voyager rescued a member of Species 8472 from a Hirogen hunting party in mid 2374 . Captain Janeway wanted to return the creature to its native fluidic space because it had told Tuvok of its plight telepathically; it meant no harm and just wanted to go home. The Hirogen, however, wanted to hunt and kill it. They threatened to destroy Voyager unless the 8472 was returned to them. Seven felt that it should be surrendered in order to protect Voyager , but Captain Janeway strongly disagreed, saying that it was wrong to sacrifice another lifeform to save themselves. Seven refused to help open a quantum singularity into fluidic space to allow the 8472 to return to its realm, and Janeway confined her to the cargo bay. The Doctor needed nanoprobes to help treat the injured alien, and Seven was ordered to bring them to The Doctor so he could treat it. At the same time, a Hirogen hunter who had been injured from his initial hunt of the 8472, and who The Doctor had been treating, attacked the 8472. Seven transported both the Hirogen and the Species 8472 to a Hirogen vessel, which then retreated. Janeway was not happy with Seven's conduct, and revoked most of her privileges until she proved trustworthy once again. Seven believed she was being punished for asserting her individuality and her personal beliefs, which the Voyager crew had fostered since she had been freed from the Collective. ( VOY : " Prey ")

Voyager encountered Entharan weapons broker Kovin in 2374 . Seven worked with him and viewed the weapons he offered to sell, but was very much uncomfortable around him. She later struck him in engineering. With The Doctor's help, Seven recovered memories which suggested Kovin had assaulted her and stolen nanoprobes for use as weapons. Circumstantial evidence also supported her story, and Voyager tried to apprehend Kovin. It is later determined that her memories were simply ones from her time as a Borg drone mixed with experiences of Kovin. Unfortunately, Kovin was killed when Voyager tried to contact him and tell him of his innocence. Both Seven and The Doctor experienced deep remorse over contributing to Kovin's death. ( VOY : " Retrospect ")

Working to contain the Omega particles

When the Omega particles were found in the Delta Quadrant, Seven held a certain fascination with them, since the Borg had tried, unsuccessfully, to stabilize the molecules. She believed they held the key to perfection and that she would be able to use the Borg research to stabilize the molecules. However, Captain Janeway believed it was too risky and the molecules were destroyed. They spontaneously stabilized shortly before being destroyed by Voyager . Seven witnessed this and experienced one of her first spiritual moments in the process. ( VOY : " The Omega Directive ")

A race of bounty hunters known as the Hazari began attacking Voyager in 2375 . A group of aliens called the Think Tank offered to help Voyager defeat the Hazari, but wanted Seven of Nine as payment. Kurros , a member of the Think Tank, tried to appeal to Seven's quest for perfection and have her join willingly, but she declined his offer. Further investigation revealed that Kurros had hired the Hazari to attack Voyager for the express purpose of taking Seven of Nine. The crew developed a plan with the Hazari which involved Seven willingly joining the Think Tank. Once with them, she would disable systems aboard their vessel. Kurros sensed deception, and forced Seven to link with the Think Tank's telepathic net. She overloaded the network as the link was established, disrupting the function of their entire ship. Seven was returned to Voyager as the Think Tank was overwhelmed with a Hazari attack squadron. ( VOY : " Think Tank ")

In 2376 , Voyager docked at a Markonian outpost . While there, Seven of Nine encountered the group of drones which she had linked together eight years prior . They had since been liberated from the Collective, but were permanently linked due to Seven's modifications. They attacked Seven in order to find out what she had done to them, but were stopped by Voyager security. Seven later voluntarily linked with the drones to retrieve the memories of the crash, but further damage was caused when the link was broken. Even though the drones were no longer connected to one another, all but Seven were left comatose. They needed their neural implants removed, but it would only give them a month to live. They could be saved if reassimilated into the Borg Collective, but Seven decided that a brief life as an individual was much more valuable than eternal life as a drone, and she ordered The Doctor to remove the implants. The former drones were still upset about the decision made by Seven eight years prior, but understood her reasons and were grateful for their new-found freedom, however short. ( VOY : " Survival Instinct ")

Also that year, Seven was part of an away team which discovered the Vaadwaur race, placed in stasis centuries prior. Seven was excited at the prospect of helping to rebuild a society in order to atone for the destruction she participated in while a member of the Collective, and worked with the Vaadwaur to find them a new home. It was later determined that the Vaadwaur were warlike and hostile, and their awakening placed the region of space near their homeworld in great danger. Seven was upset that her intention to help may have caused further suffering. ( VOY : " Dragon's Teeth ")

Again during the same year, Seven and an injured Tuvok were captured by Penk , a Norcadian who organized the spectator sport Tsunkatse , and Seven was forced to fight in the ring. After rescue, Tuvok thanked her for taking his place in a red match and asked if she had recovered. Seven said that her victory only came from her loss of control, and worried that the three years she had spent regaining her Humanity were lost in the ring. However, Tuvok pointed out that her feelings of guilt, shame and remorse meant that her Humanity had been reaffirmed, not lost. ( VOY : " Tsunkatse ")

Seven held hostage by Iko

In 2377 , Seven became friends with a Nygean man named Iko , who had committed murder and had been sentenced to death on his homeworld . Initially, Iko took Seven prisoner when he was beamed aboard Voyager and made threats to the crew. He later became remorseful when his body and conscience were "healed" by Seven's nanoprobes after he was severely beaten by Yediq , the prison warden, when he threatened his family. Seven tried to help him avoid his death sentence, but his crime could not be forgiven by the victim's family and he was put to death. Seven was left troubled at the idea that Iko was executed for one murder while she had never been punished for her own actions in the Borg, but Janeway assured her that her time in the Collective was punishment enough. ( VOY : " Repentance ")

Dealings with the Borg [ ]

Stealing a transwarp coil

While transporting back to Voyager in 2375 , a malfunction caused nanoprobes from Seven's bloodstream to merge with The Doctor's mobile emitter . The nanoprobes quickly assimilated the advanced 29th century technology, and used genetic material from Mulchaey to create an advanced Borg drone, with the emitter at its core. The drone lacked Borg programming, giving Seven the opportunity to communicate with him. She attempted to teach him to be an individual, and he was even given the name One by Neelix, but he wished to learn more about the Borg. Attempts to prevent the Borg from detecting One failed and his attempts to modify Voyager 's weapons to fight them proved insufficient. He transported aboard the Borg vessel, destroying it from within. His built-in shielding allowed him to survive the explosion badly injured, but he refused treatment and died in Voyager 's sickbay to keep the crew safe from constant assimilation threats. Seven mourned him as if she had lost a son. ( VOY : " Drone ")

Seven in Unimatrix Zero as Annika Hansen

Later in 2375 , Voyager 's crew prepared for a daring raid on a damaged Borg sphere in order to steal a transwarp coil and substantially shorten their journey home. Seven was contacted by the Borg Queen , who revealed that she had set a trap for Voyager and its crew would be assimilated if she did not return to the Collective. Seven reluctantly agreed, learning that she was deliberately granted her freedom as part of a larger plan to assimilate Humanity. Seven resisted the Queen's attempts to convince her to develop a nanoprobe virus and was eventually rescued by Voyager 's crew. ( VOY : " Dark Frontier ")

In 2377 she discovered that she was one of a few Borg with a certain assimilation mutation that allowed them to retain their individuality while regenerating inside of an artificial construct known as Unimatrix Zero . Freed from the Collective, she was once again contacted by the others inside. They were on the verge of being discovered and needed her help. With some assistance from Voyager 's crew, the drones were given the ability to retain their individuality outside of the construct. This allowed them to launch an open revolt against the Collective, plunging the Collective into civil war . ( VOY : " Unimatrix Zero ", " Unimatrix Zero, Part II ")

Identity crises [ ]

Seven, as Mademoiselle de Neuf

When the Hirogen overtook Voyager in 2374 and used its crew and holodecks to conduct hunts, Seven was assigned the identity of Mademoiselle de Neuf (literally, "Miss of Nine") in the French Resistance holoprogram . The Doctor was able to modify her Borg implants and restore her real identity without the Hirogen knowing. She worked with The Doctor and Ensign Kim to stage a counterstrike against the Hirogen and restore the identities of the rest of the crew. ( VOY : " The Killing Game ") Seven later modified explosives to emit a photonic burst which disabled holographic activity on part of the ship, a crucial event which allowed Captain Janeway to defeat the leader of the Hirogen and return control of the ship to the Starfleet crew. ( VOY : " The Killing Game, Part II ")

One of Seven's personalities: eating like a Klingon

Seven was stricken with something akin to a multiple-personality disorder in 2375 when Voyager neared a vinculum infected with a synthetic pathogen by Species 6339 . Several personalities, including Starfleet officers, a Klingon warrior, a Vulcan official, a Krenim scientist , a Ferengi trader, a woman trying to find her son aboard the USS Melbourne at the Battle of Wolf 359, and a frightened young child, emerged. These turned out to be personalities of individuals assimilated by the Borg, and it was soon made clear the malfunctions in her implants were precisely what Species 6339 wished to inflict on the rest of the Collective. The personalities began to take over Seven, and her own individuality was lost. Tuvok was able to use a mind meld to retrieve Seven's consciousness and the vinculum was deactivated. ( VOY : " Infinite Regress ")

In 2377 , Voyager 's crew was forced to abandon ship after hitting a subspace mine . They were rescued by rogue elements of the Quarren , and had their identities reassigned in order to supply labor and fill a shortage on the Quarren homeworld . The entire crew, except Chakotay, Kim, and Neelix, who were away on the Delta Flyer , had their memories of Voyager erased and false memories of terrible conditions on their homeworlds implanted. Seven started to use her real name, Annika Hansen, and was given a job as an efficiency monitor in a power distribution plant, working with several other Voyager crew members including Captain Janeway, Tuvok, and B'Elanna Torres. Her Borg desire for perfection made her perfectly suited for the job, and she was often overzealous in chastising workers. The identity reassignment did not completely work on Tuvok, though, and he began to remember his former life, including Seven of Nine. He mind-melded with her, causing memories of her life on Voyager and as a drone to resurface. ( VOY : " Workforce ") As the flashbacks continued, Annika investigated Tuvok's records. She believed there was a connection to the disappearance of Torres, who had been rescued by the remaining Voyager crew, and Annika later learned that Tuvok had accessed files of most of the Voyager crew, including Janeway, Torres, and herself. This led her to realize the inconsistency that many new workers from the same species began work on the same day, which was unusual during a labor shortage. Additionally, they were all brought through the neuropathology division, although none of the workers remembered this. Her suspicions were dismissed and explained as an outbreak of Dysphoria Syndrome . Annika was undaunted, and later visited the neuropathology division complaining of the flashbacks in order to access their computer system. While there, she discovered the Dysphoria Syndrome outbreak was actually a cover-up masterminded by a Quarren doctor called Kadan , to hide the fact that Voyager 's crew and many others had been abducted. This confirmed the story Chakotay had told to Captain Janeway, and Annika and a Quarren official, Yerid , went to the hospital to prevent Kadan from using the reassignment technique on Chakotay and Tuvok. They succeeded, and the entire Voyager crew was transported back to the ship. The Doctor was successful in restoring the identities of the entire crew. ( VOY : " Workforce, Part II ")

Life in the Alpha Quadrant [ ]

Seven with Icheb in 2386

Sometime after Voyager returned from the Delta Quadrant, Seven applied to join Starfleet only to have her application rejected. This was despite strong opposition from Admiral Janeway, who went so far as to threaten to resign her commission. Seven would give up on the idea, not wanting for Janeway to make good on her threat. ( PIC : " Hide and Seek ")

What is clear is Seven's specific past as having been a fully mature drone for years, compared to Icheb, an immature drone that was additionally genetically modified to be an anti-Borg weapon, is what influenced the acceptance of Icheb to Starfleet Academy while they were still in the Delta Quadrant, and the rejection of Seven's application after their return. Starfleet would not have been able to deny Seven entry simply based on citizenship, as she had been born a Federation citizen.

In 2381 , she was one of four former Starfleet officers that Starfleet sought to take into protective custody in response to Nick Locarno seeking out ex-Starfleet personnel, the others being Beverly Crusher , Thomas Riker , and – since Starfleet was unaware that he was behind the Nova One attacks – Locarno himself. ( LD : " The Inner Fight ")

Seven later joined the Fenris Rangers , a peacekeeping force that operated along the Romulan Neutral Zone , where she worked closely with a woman named Bjayzl . Unbeknownst to Seven, however, Bjayzl was a black market dealer in Borg parts taken from former drones, also known as " xBs ", and had infiltrated the Rangers to get close to Seven. It was through Seven that Bjayzl learned about Icheb, by this time a Starfleet lieutenant assigned as a science officer aboard the USS Coleman .

Seven of Nine in 2399

In 2386 , Bjayzl lured Lieutenant Icheb into an ambush while he was on a reconnaissance mission for the Rangers near Daimanta . She arranged for him to be taken to the Seven Domes facility on Vergessen , where his implants were brutally removed from him without any anesthetic, or even the small mercy of death. In anguish, Seven, who considered Icheb as a son since their time on Voyager , arrived to rescue him; but she was too late. In unbearable pain, he entreated Seven to end his life. Cradling him in her arms, she tearfully bid "her child" farewell before she complied by fatally shooting him with her phaser. ( PIC : " Stardust City Rag ")

Aiding La Sirena [ ]

Thirteen years later , Seven assisted La Sirena in battle against a Romulan Bird-of-Prey in orbit of the planet Vashti . Her ship was destroyed, but she was beamed over to La Sirena and was surprised to see Admiral Jean-Luc Picard on board. She quipped that he owed her a ship before she collapsed. ( PIC : " Absolute Candor ")

Seven vaporizing Bjayzl

Picard explained that he was on his way to Freecloud to find Dr. Bruce Maddox . Upon learning that he had been captured by Bjayzl, who intended to turn him over to the Tal Shiar , Seven helped plan his rescue by offering herself to Bjayzl in exchange for Maddox. Posing as traders, Picard and La Sirena captain Cristóbal Rios "delivered" Seven to Bjayzl, only for Seven (wearing compromised binders) to "break free", revealing her true intentions: to kill Bjayzl in revenge for Icheb's death. Picard was seemingly able to talk her out of murdering Bjayzl and returning with him and his crew to La Sirena . After Maddox was rescued, Seven declined Picard's offer of a ride, saying the Rangers were sending a corsair to Freecloud to pick her up, but did take two type 3 phasers from La Sirena 's armory. Before beaming back to Freecloud, Seven asked Picard about whether he had rediscovered his Humanity after he was rescued from the Borg, and admitted she was still working to find hers "every damn day" of her life. Picard understood this, as he was wrestling with the same. The two amicably parted ways.

However, far from the impression she had given Picard, Seven still intended to kill Bjayzl. She transported into Bjayzl’s nightclub and confronted the criminal businesswoman after clearing out the lounge by shooting her bodyguards, causing all others present to flee, leaving Bjayzl alone. Bjayzl tried to stall until her security arrived, but Seven knew what she was trying to do, and sardonically told her so. Bjayzl then began trying to talk Seven out of killing her, but Seven coldly cut her off with raised rifles and a bitter retort that Icheb had been a son to her. She then vaporized Bjayzl with shots from both rifles. Seconds later, Bjayzl’s security team arrived, and Seven furiously carved a path through them with the rifles. ( PIC : " Stardust City Rag ")

Seven acting as "Queen" aboard the Artifact

After Freecloud, Seven was summoned by a communications chip she had given to fellow xB Hugh , the director of the Borg Reclamation Project aboard the " Artifact " in Romulan space. After Hugh was killed by the Romulans, Elnor – who had remained behind while Picard and Soji Asha had used the spatial trajector in the cube's queencell to escape – used the communicator to call Seven to the cube in order to take control of it. Seven accessed the queencell to begin regenerating the damage done to the cube. When the Romulans began venting the stasis-contained drones into space and killing the xBs, Seven decided to link the transceivers of the disconnected Borg on the cube into a "mini-collective", with herself acting as a sort of Borg Queen, despite her reluctance to essentially assimilate them all over again. The Romulans left the Artifact with their fleet to invade the Synthetic homeworld Coppelius , leaving the cube in the control of Seven and the xBs. When Elnor asked if Seven intended to assimilate him now, the cube's collective said only that "Annika still has work to do" before Seven was disconnected from the queencell. While connected to the Queencell, however, Seven witnessed La Sirena being pursued by Narek , prompting her to open a transwarp conduit to follow them to Coppelius . ( PIC : " Nepenthe ", " Broken Pieces ", " Et in Arcadia Ego, Part 1 ")

The Artifact crashed on the surface, where she reunited with Picard and La Sirena 's crew. Here, Elnor decided to stay with Seven as part of her effort to reactivate the Artifact's defenses and aid the xBs. Seven told Picard to "keep saving the galaxy", but Picard replied that it was all on her now. ( PIC : " Et in Arcadia Ego, Part 1 ")

Saving history [ ]

By 2401 , Rios returned to Starfleet after Coppelius, giving La Sirena to Seven to continue her work with the Rangers. After fighting off an attempt by pirates to steal Ranger supplies, she joined with a Starfleet task force, led by Picard and Rios from the USS Stargazer , to investigate an anomaly that proved to be a massive Borg ship. The Borg Queen beamed aboard the Stargazer and took control, and Picard ordered auto-destruct to destroy the Stargazer , seemingly killing everyone aboard, including Seven. ( PIC : " The Star Gazer ")

Seven awoke in an unfamiliar setting, remembering being on the Stargazer , and was shocked to look in the mirror to see her Borg implants missing. She figured out that she and her friends had been sent into an alternate timeline, where her counterpart served as the President of the Confederation of Earth , a xenophobic totalitarian regime. She learned from Picard, whose own counterpart was the Confederation's most feared general, that the entire scenario had been orchestrated by Q . ( PIC : " Penance ") Reuniting with the others aboard the CSS La Sirena , she travelled with them to the 21st century to correct the timeline, together with a captive Borg Queen that was scheduled for public execution by the Confederation. ( PIC : " Assimilation ")

Paired with Raffaela Musiker , Seven traveled to Los Angeles to seek out the mysterious "Watcher" mentioned by the Queen during their journey. Along the way, they are forced to rescue Rios, who was injured and later arrested by immigration authorities . ( PIC : " Watcher ", " Fly Me to the Moon ") She later joined the crew at a pre-launch gala for the Europa Mission to observe Renée Picard , Jean-Luc's distant ancestor, able to socialize more freely without her Borg implants. ( PIC : " Two of One ") Dr. Agnes Jurati , who had been involved in the Coppelius incident, had been possessed by the Borg Queen and was loose in Los Angeles. Teamed with Dr. Adam Soong , an ambitious geneticist, the Jurati-Queen intended to seize La Sirena with mercenaries Soong provided her to act as improvised Borg drones. ( PIC : " Monsters ", " Mercy ") Seven and Musiker fought to defend the ship, but Seven was impaled through the stomach by one of the Queen's tentacles. The mind of Dr. Jurati, fighting for control of her body, eventually convinced the Queen to save her life with nanoprobes, returning Seven's Borg implants. ( PIC : " Hide and Seek ")

Starfleet career [ ]

Uss stargazer [ ].

Seven commanding the Stargazer

After Q returned them to their own time, Picard used his authority to give their leading authority on the Borg, Seven, a provisional field commission of captain and command of the Stargazer to replace Rios, who had remained in the 21st century. Following the reveal that the Borg Queen attacking the ship was in fact Jurati trying to get their help to deal with a threatening galactic event, Starfleet and Jurati's Collective made common cause to stop the destructive wave. ( PIC : " Farewell ")

USS Titan -A [ ]

Commander Annika Hansen, First officer of the USS Titan -A

Seven was commissioned by Starfleet as a commander , serving as first officer on the USS Titan -A under the command of Captain Liam Shaw . Dismissive of her Borg past, Shaw insisted that Seven use her birth name, being known by her subordinates as Commander Hansen. ( PIC : " The Next Generation ")

According to the crew roster posted by Bill Krause , Seven is assigned to the alpha shift . [1]

USS Enterprise -G [ ]

Following the destruction of the Borg , Seven met with her old crewmate, Captain Tuvok , and offered to resign from Starfleet due to her rogue actions. Tuvok denied her resignation and revealed that Captain Shaw sent Command her officer review prior to his death, praising Seven for her loyalty and unorthodox approach. He had recommended that she be promoted to captain upon their return to spacedock. Tuvok proudly promoted Seven and by 2402, she was given command of the rechristened USS Enterprise -G with Commander Raffi Musiker as her first officer, and Ensign Jack Crusher as her special counselor. As Seven took the Enterprise on her shakedown cruise, she was left to contemplate what to use as her command as compared to other Enterprise COs. ( PIC : " The Last Generation ")

Personal development [ ]

Seven in 2378

Although she began to accept her Humanity, Seven was still not completely eager to return to the Alpha Quadrant, and became apprehensive when opportunities presented themselves. ( VOY : " Hope and Fear ") Her reluctance actually proved lifesaving for the Voyager crew in 2375 when the ship was nearly ingested by a bioplasmic organism known as the telepathic pitcher plant . She was one of only three crew members (the others being Naomi Wildman – who, like Seven, had no emotional links to Earth and the Alpha Quadrant – and The Doctor, who was unaffected due to his inorganic nature) not affected by its illusion of a wormhole back to the Alpha Quadrant. Despite the crew's attempts to place her into stasis , she was able to join forces with The Doctor and an alien named Qatai to free Voyager . ( VOY : " Bliss ") Like many Borg drones separated from the Collective, Seven suffered a degree of eremophobia (a fear of being alone), which she was forced to face when piloting Voyager through an area of space riddled with subnucleonic radiation while the crew was placed in stasis for the duration. ( VOY : " One ")

After her liberation from the collective, Seven's mannerisms and speech were decidedly drone-like, stiff and formal. She rarely used verbal contractions, showed little emotion (other than irritation or frustration), never smiled, and spoke literally with little use of idioms or slang. Her lack of expression was partly due to her cortical node , which was designed to impede strong emotional stimulation. ( VOY : " Human Error ") When The Doctor was able to compensate, Seven began to experience the full range of Human emotions. ( VOY : " Endgame ") Over time, these mannerisms began to change. After being forced to euthanize Icheb , Seven cried in anguish. ( PIC : " Stardust City Rag ") By 2401, Seven had become more noticeably Human and natural in her behavior and speech, occasionally making jokes, speaking informally, and displaying her emotions. ( PIC : " The Next Generation ")

Shortly after leaving the Borg, Seven admitted to Harry Kim that she understood humor and often found herself amused by Human behavior. ( VOY : " Revulsion ") She exhibited a dry wit on occasion, though rarely showed appreciation for other humor. Later in her life she was more amenable to humor, both making and appreciating jokes on occasion. ( citation needed • edit )

At first, Seven found holodecks a pointless endeavor, fulfilling a Human desire to fantasize which she did not share. ( VOY : " One ") She reluctantly took part in Janeway's Leonardo da Vinci simulation, but believed it to be a waste of time. ( VOY : " The Raven ") Later, however, she visited many of Tom Paris' programs, including The Adventures of Captain Proton in which she played Constance Goodheart to Paris' Captain Proton . She still saw the program as frivolous, and quickly disabled Satan's Robot instead of playing along with the storyline of the program. ( VOY : " Night ") In 2376 , she visited the Fair Haven program. By this time, she engaged the holographic characters in conversation and participated in the fantasy. ( VOY : " Fair Haven ") She and The Doctor attended a screening of Attack of the Lobster People in a recreation of the Palace Theater in 2377 . ( VOY : " Repression ") By 2378 , Seven created a holographic simulation of Voyager in order to improve her social abilities. In the program, her Borg implants had been permanently removed, and she was given a Starfleet science uniform and crew quarters . She also explored a romantic relationship with Chakotay while running the program. She began to use the program excessively, interfering with her duties. ( VOY : " Human Error ")

Relationships [ ]

Initially, after her release from the Collective, Seven retained much of her former drone personality. She was harsh towards the rest of the crew and often disobeyed Captain Janeway's orders when she felt they were incorrect. However, as time went on she gradually formed a close bond with the others, especially with The Doctor, Tuvok, and Janeway herself. ( VOY : " The Gift ")

During her time with the Borg, Seven became used to the billions of voices that made up the Collective. After she was separated from them, she found solitude distressing. It became more apparent when Seven was left with The Doctor to watch over Voyager as it went through a radioactive Mutara class nebula . When The Doctor's program went off-line, she was alone in command of Voyager . Her implants began malfunctioning, and she saw convincing hallucinations of an alien named Trajis Lo-Tarik and the Voyager crew, seriously injured by the effects of the nebula. She was able to ignore the illusions and eventually save the Voyager crew after the ship's systems began to malfunction as a result of the nebula's radiation . After this experience, Seven joined a group in the mess hall for the first time. ( VOY : " One ")

Seven's parents, Erin and Magnus Hansen

Seven began to read her parents' journals from their mission aboard the Raven , as these were her only link to her parents. She encountered the drone which was originally her father while held captive by the Borg in 2375 . He most likely was destroyed along with the Borg Queen's ship . ( VOY : " Dark Frontier ")

She had an ancestor, Sven "Buttercup" Hansen , who was a 22nd century prize boxer. ( VOY : " 11:59 ")

Seven's aunt, Irene Hansen

Seven was present for some of the conversations the Voyager crew had with families after two-way communication was established in 2378 . She was reluctant to contact her aunt, Irene Hansen , but the experiences of the crew convinced her it would be worthwhile. Irene was overjoyed to speak with her, but Seven was slightly uncomfortable when Irene used her real name, Annika. ( VOY : " Author, Author ")

Seven also had a "son". A transporter accident involving The Doctor's mobile emitter and Seven's nanoprobes resulted in the creation of a Borg drone, One . At first she was reluctant to teach the drone about individuality and life on Voyager , but she eventually became attached to him, almost maternally. When One decided to allow himself to die for the benefit of the crew, Seven was deeply upset. ( VOY : " Drone ")

Friendships [ ]

While under the influence of synthehol , Seven told The Doctor and several other Voyager crew that she considered them all "very good friends." ( VOY : " Timeless ") In 2401, she stated she had been "reborn" aboard Voyager , the ship having been her home and the crew, her family. ( PIC : " The Bounty ")

Kathryn Janeway [ ]

Janeway tries to help Seven remember her life before being assimilated

Captain Janeway made the decision to sever Seven of Nine from the Collective. She helped her through the difficult transition to Humanity in 2374 , trying to force memories of her life as Annika Hansen to surface. ( VOY : " The Gift ") Janeway also tried to tutor Seven in the arts and further cultivate her Humanity. ( VOY : " The Raven ") Seven was not hesitant to question Captain Janeway's decisions, sometimes publicly. She thought Janeway placed the crew in unnecessary danger by exploring the Delta Quadrant and contacting civilizations such as the Mari , rather than setting a course for home. ( VOY : " Random Thoughts ")

When Voyager believed that Starfleet had sent the USS Dauntless to bring the crew home in late 2374, Seven did not want to return with the crew. She requested to remain in the Delta Quadrant, possibly returning to the Borg Collective. Janeway was dismayed that Seven had not found an appreciation for her new life in the year she spent aboard Voyager . Later, the ship was found to be a fake created by Arturis in order to deliver the Voyager crew to the Borg. While trapped aboard the ship, Seven confessed to Captain Janeway that she was thankful for her individuality and was not eager to return to the Collective. She also confessed that it was fear of the unknown, that is, what will happen after she returns to Earth, that discouraged her from going back. ( VOY : " Hope and Fear ")

In 2375 , Seven inadvertently helped The Doctor recover memories of Ensign Ahni Jetal , erased from his database when they caused problems with his ethical subroutines. Captain Janeway intended to erase the memories once again, but Seven voiced concern. She felt that erasing The Doctor's memories would essentially mean turning a blind eye to his development as an individual. Seven admitted that she saw Janeway as a role model, but began to question that image after her treatment of The Doctor. This gave Janeway more to think about, and she decided to restore the memories to The Doctor. ( VOY : " Latent Image ")

Seven of Nine often had the ear of the captain, coming to her whenever she needed moral guidance, or wanted to express something she had learned about Humanity. One such occasion occurred in 2378 , when Seven dropped a barrier protecting the Ventu from cultural contamination. Before making any command decisions, Janeway asked Seven what she thought of the Ventu; Seven found them antiquated, but resourceful. She believed that if the Ledosians were allowed to contaminate them more, "something unique would be lost." ( VOY : " Natural Law ")

In an alternate timeline , Seven of Nine was fatally wounded on an away mission and died upon her return to Voyager . Her death deeply affected the Janeway of that time. ( VOY : " Endgame ")

After their return to Earth, Janeway strongly supported Seven's application to become a member of Starfleet . However, when Seven realized that Starfleet was hesistant to let her join due to her assimilation by the Borg, Seven decided to not pursue a Starfleet career and ultimately joined the Fenris Rangers instead. ( PIC : " Hide and Seek ")

B'Elanna Torres [ ]

Voyager engineer B'Elanna Torres was distrustful of Seven, and the two almost came to blows several times during Seven's early days on Voyager . Torres was stunned that Seven experienced no remorse over the fate of civilizations such as the Caatati , devastated by the Borg. ( VOY : " Day of Honor ") Torres believed Seven was cold, rude, and acted like the crew of Voyager were Borg drones. She told Chakotay that she did not want to be held responsible if she and Seven got into a physical altercation. Chakotay, in turn, put Torres' own attitude in check when he made it clear that she needed to find a way to work with Seven and that she would be held responsible if a fight occurred. Seven earned some of Torres' respect when she used a feedback pulse to disable a Hirogen who threatened the ship's use of the communications network in 2374 (although she made sure the disapproving Janeway was out of earshot first). ( VOY : " Message in a Bottle ") Seven studied Torres and future husband Tom Paris during their courtship, even noting the times when the two had sexual relations. Upon discovering this in 2375 , Torres was quite incensed. ( VOY : " Someone to Watch Over Me ")

While the two women would never become close friends, they did develop a good working relationship as time passed. By 2377 , the two had grown more comfortable with each other. Torres comforted Seven when she was faced with death after her cortical node malfunctioned, telling her that she made valuable contributions to the crew of Voyager . ( VOY : " Imperfection ") Torres talked to Seven about Paris shortly before their marriage in 2377. Seven suggested that Torres try to participate in some of Paris' interests in order to improve their relationship, which led to Torres' participation in the Antarian Trans-stellar Rally . ( VOY : " Drive ") To Torres' shock, Seven presented her with a baby shower present and complimented her on her hair the following year. ( VOY : " Human Error ")

Naomi Wildman [ ]

Naomi Wildman

Naomi Wildman was the first child born aboard Voyager . She was initially scared of Seven and afraid that she could assimilate her. Soon, she became fascinated with Seven, and began following her in early 2375 . Seven was initially annoyed with her, and disapproved of Naomi's study of Borg species designations. While Seven was experiencing problems due to contact with the infected vinculum, one of the personalities to emerge was that of a small child. She played kadis-kot with Naomi, to Naomi's delight. After the crisis was resolved, Seven decided to instruct Naomi in astrometrics, giving her several star charts and species information to study. Seven also requested a game of kadis-kot with Naomi. ( VOY : " Infinite Regress ") They became friends, going to lunch or playing games of kadis-kot. They had in common that they often couldn't understand the crew's determination to return to Earth. This fact proved helpful when Voyager was confronted by the telepathic pitcher plant , which made the rest of the crew see it as a wormhole to Earth. Seven and Naomi were unaffected due to their indifference about returning home and, aided by Qatai , who had hunted the creature for years, and The Doctor, they were able to trick the creature into expelling Voyager . ( VOY : " Bliss ") When Seven was kidnapped by the Borg, Naomi demonstrated her determination to save Seven, and presented to Captain Janeway a plan to rescue Seven. ( VOY : " Dark Frontier ") Seven once stated that she thought of Naomi as her family on board Voyager . ( VOY : " Survival Instinct ", " The Voyager Conspiracy ")

Tuvok became friends with Seven of Nine, when he witnessed her ordeal as she gradually had to remember her assimilation by the Borg. He helped her manage it and Seven opened up to him. ( VOY : " The Raven ") After that, she began having conversations with Tuvok and it became apparent she enjoyed talking with him because of his logic and distant way of seeing things, which was similar to her own. Tuvok also had a similar attitude towards Seven. ( VOY : " Mortal Coil ")

Tuvok was quick to compliment Seven when she quickly learned and won a game of Kal-toh . ( VOY : " The Omega Directive ")

Both Tuvok and Seven of Nine often preferred completing away missions in silence. After working together and Seven saving Tuvok's life, he was able to help her cope with the difficult mission they shared. ( VOY : " Tsunkatse ") In time they also started appreciating each other, because of them being outsiders on the ship.( VOY : " Human Error ")

In 2401 , Tuvok, now a captain in the command division , was sent to inform Seven of the consequences the USS Enterprise -D command crew and Seven herself would face for their rogue actions while stopping the Changelings and the Borg . Initially adopting a stern demeanor, Tuvok ended the meeting by promoting Seven to the rank of captain with obvious pride in his old friend. ( PIC : " The Last Generation ")

Jean-Luc Picard [ ]

Acting in her capacity as a Fenris Ranger, Seven intervened and assisted the crew of the SS La Sirena as the ship was attacked while in orbit of Vashti . During the battle Seven’s ship was destroyed and she beamed aboard the La Sirena and was immediately recognized by Jean-Luc Picard . ( PIC : " Absolute Candor ") Seven and Picard shared a drink and spoke candidly regarding his motives, discussing if he was "saving the galaxy." After encountering Bjayzl in Stardust City ; Picard recognized Seven's need for revenge and attempted to dissuade her from taking the matter into her own hands by invoking her restored Humanity. Seven then questioned Picard's own journey after being separated from the Borg Collective and their similar attempts to overcome the trauma. ( PIC : " Stardust City Rag ") Seven was visibly affected with Picard's death. ( PIC : " Et in Arcadia Ego, Part 2 ")

Picard encouraged and assisted Seven in joining Starfleet. ( PIC : " Farewell ") When Picard boards the Titan under false pretenses, Seven recognized the ruse and berated him. Captain Riker angrily questioned if this was how she speaks to an Admiral , but Seven stated that this was how she spoke to a friend. Knowing the risks, Seven assisted Picard in his deception and risked her Starfleet commission. ( PIC : " The Next Generation ")

Surrogate motherhood [ ]

Seven interacts with the Borg children

In 2376 , Seven became a temporary mother figure to a group of children whom Voyager had discovered aboard a derelict Borg vessel. She cared for the children, named Icheb , Mezoti , Rebi , and Azan , until the latter three were returned to their own people in 2377 . ( VOY : " Collective ", " Child's Play ", " Imperfection ") Seven was frustrated with her initial attempts to tutor the children. She designed a rigid schedule for their activities, enacting serious punishment when they failed to adhere to the schedule. They rebelled against the restrictions, and an exasperated Seven told Chakotay she no longer wished to supervise them. He made her realize that while consistency is important, children also need spontaneity. Her efforts were much more successful once she made allowances for that. ( VOY : " Ashes to Ashes ")

After discovering that he had been genetically engineered as a weapon against the Borg, the eldest of the children, Icheb, remained with Voyager and he and Seven formed a close relationship. ( VOY : " Child's Play ") Icheb expressed a desire to apply for Starfleet Academy admission, and hoped Seven would speak to the captain about having Commander Tuvok teach him preliminary courses. Around this time, Icheb donated his own cortical node when the failure of Seven's jeopardized her life. She initially refused to accept his help, placing his safety above her own despite his research showing that he was far more likely to survive the loss of the node than she was. ( VOY : " Imperfection ")

Eight years after Voyager returned to Earth, Lieutenant Icheb was captured by Bjayzl , who had hired surgeons to brutally and painfully extract his Borg implants for her to sell on the black market . Seven attempted to rescue Icheb, whom she considered to be like a son to her, but arrived too late to save his life. Mortally wounded and in excruciating pain, Icheb begged Seven to quickly kill him, which she did by shooting him with a phaser at point-blank range.

Thirteen years later , Seven caught up with Bjayzl and executed her in retribution for Icheb's death. ( PIC : " Stardust City Rag ")

Romance [ ]

Harry Kim became physically attracted to Seven shortly after she joined Voyager . Noticing this, she addressed the situation with him, asking him if he desired to "copulate", thereby embarrassing him. However, she did tell Kim late at night in the mess hall that she was willing to explore her sexuality and told him to take his clothes off. ( VOY : " Revulsion ") The attraction was also painfully obvious to the rest of the Voyager crew. ( VOY : " Revulsion ", " Hunters ") She seduced him in a dream caused by aliens encountered in 2374 . ( VOY : " Waking Moments ")

Under The Doctor's tutelage, Seven first explored true romance in 2375 . She chose engineering crew member William Chapman after determining that their interests were compatible. However, Seven's directness was too overbearing for Chapman, and the date ended up in disaster when Seven accidentally tore a ligament in his shoulder while dancing. ( VOY : " Someone to Watch Over Me ")

In 2378 , Seven was distressed to discover that the Borg had deliberately programmed the cortical implant of their drones to shut down in the event that the drone began to experience strong emotion, thus killing the drone. The Doctor believed he could reprogram the affected implant, but Seven refused treatment. Later that year, she changed her mind, and she underwent the surgery. ( VOY : " Human Error ", " Endgame ")

While Seven was assisting the drones of Unimatrix Zero, she mainly dealt with a man named Axum , with whom she had had a romantic relationship within Unimatrix Zero while she was still a drone that lasted over a duration of six years. The relationship sparked again, strengthening her resolve to help those within the Unimatrix. However, Axum was physically aboard a scout vessel at the border of fluidic space in a remote sector of the Beta Quadrant , making it impossible to contact him again once Unimatrix Zero was destroyed. ( VOY : " Unimatrix Zero ", " Unimatrix Zero, Part II ")

The Doctor [ ]

Seven gives The Doctor a friendly kiss

The Doctor was responsible for the removal of Seven's implants, and also conducted her weekly maintenance sessions. He also took it upon himself to teach Seven social behavior, using the same interpersonal relationship exercises Kes once practiced with him. ( VOY : " Prey ") Later, he created a holodeck simulation of Voyager for her to become more comfortable with large social gatherings. ( VOY : " One ")

The Doctor encouraged Seven to explore romantic relationships in 2375 , coaching her in the basics of dating and grooming. He also discovered her singing voice, and the two sang a duet of " You Are My Sunshine ". He was partially motivated by a wager made with Ensign Paris, who believed that Seven would not be able to bring a date to a reception planned aboard Voyager without making a scene. Although Seven's date with Lieutenant Chapman ended up in disaster, she attended the reception with The Doctor, and charmed the guests with a toast to individuality. However, she was hurt to discover that The Doctor's help was due to the bet. At this point, The Doctor found that he himself was falling in love with Seven, but refused to admit it to her. He tried to apologize to her, but she came to him first and said she no longer needed the lessons in romance because there were no suitable mates aboard. The Doctor was very disappointed that Seven did not reciprocate his feelings. ( VOY : " Someone to Watch Over Me ")

In 2376 , The Doctor was stranded aboard the USS Equinox along with Seven, and the crew disengaged his morality subroutines to extract activation codes for their warp drive from Seven's cranial implants, which would leave her mentally disabled. The Doctor almost went through with the procedure, but Captain Rudolph Ransom stopped him. He apologized to Seven for the incident, and she held no ill will towards him. ( VOY : " Equinox, Part II ")

The Doctor created a subroutine for daydreaming in early 2376 . Seven featured prominently in several fantasies, either serving as a damsel in distress or competing with other female Voyager crew members for The Doctor's affections. He even fantasized about painting her in the nude. When the fantasies began to overrun his program, his mental activity was tied into the holodeck, allowing Seven to see what he had been daydreaming. She did not take offense, but after she kissed him following Captain Janeway's announcement that the Emergency Command Hologram subroutines would be developed, she made it clear that it was simply a platonic gesture. ( VOY : " Tinker Tenor Doctor Spy ")

The Doctor as Seven of Nine

While Ensign Kim, Seven, and The Doctor conducted a routine survey on board the second Delta Flyer in 2377 , they were captured by a race known as the Lokirrim . The Lokirrim had waged war against holographic lifeforms who rebelled against Lokirrim rule, and as a result, banned all holographic activity within their borders. Seven transferred The Doctor's program to her cortical implant in order to hide him from the Lokirrim and prevent him from being decompiled. In the process, The Doctor took control of Seven's motor abilities, and was essentially trapped in her body. The Doctor tried to engineer an escape by cultivating a relationship with a Lokirrim official, Ranek , but the new sensations of taste and emotion were too tempting for The Doctor. He ended up overindulging in several foods and causing pain to Seven. Ranek later called Seven to the ship's bridge with the intention of setting up a romantic liaison. Although The Doctor was able to see his command codes, Ranek attempted to kiss him in Seven's body, which was not reciprocated. Shortly afterward, he went to complain about the incident to Jaryn , a crewmember The Doctor had been working with to treat injured Lokirrim crew. The Doctor became sexually aroused when Jaryn gave Seven a neck massage. Both incidents greatly irritated Seven, and once The Doctor had been returned to the mobile emitter they got into an argument about the values of indulgence. The Doctor felt Seven showed excessive restraint and did not allow for superfluous pleasure, which The Doctor believed was an important part of life. Kim managed to return the subject to escape, and The Doctor and Seven worked together once again to transmit a distress signal to Voyager . The Doctor was downloaded back into Seven's implants, and was able to convince Ranek to join her on a "second date." They knocked him out at the first available opportunity, and transmitted a message to Voyager including the ship's command codes. Their plan was discovered by Jaryn, and Seven was taken captive. After Voyager arrived, Seven returned The Doctor's program to the mobile emitter and they escaped. Upon their return to the ship, Seven decided that The Doctor had a point about her restraint concerning pleasures such as food. She brought a meal to sickbay and described the sensations of eating it to The Doctor, allowing him to experience it vicariously. ( VOY : " Body and Soul ")

When The Doctor's rights as an individual came into question, Seven testified at the hearing conducted with Starfleet Command. She spoke highly of The Doctor, appreciative of his efforts to develop her individuality. ( VOY : " Author, Author ")

In 2378 when The Doctor believed he was about to die, he finally admitted his feelings for her, and was embarrassed when he survived. ( VOY : " Renaissance Man ") The Doctor was also crestfallen when he learned Seven had begun to date Chakotay. ( VOY : " Endgame ")

Chakotay [ ]

Seven of Nine and Chakotay share a private moment in 2378

Like many of the crew, Chakotay was distrustful of Seven during her first year on board. He questioned Captain Janeway when she chose to leave Seven in control while the ship traversed a Mutara-class nebula. ( VOY : " One ")

Chakotay was interested in the early history of space exploration, and jumped at the chance to retrieve the Ares IV command module from a graviton ellipse encountered by Voyager in 2376 . Seven saw this fascination as dangerous, and she was proven right when the Delta Flyer , sent to retrieve the module, was trapped in the ellipse. She was upset with Chakotay, but her attitude changed when she beamed over to the command module to retrieve a component to repair the damaged Flyer . Chakotay told her to savor the moment and recover as much history as possible. She replayed Lieutenant John Kelly 's logs, and was touched by his devotion to duty. She had his body beamed back to the Flyer and spoke in admiration of Kelly at his funeral aboard Voyager . ( VOY : " One Small Step ")

Seven considered a romantic relationship with Chakotay in 2378 . In her holodeck simulation of Voyager , Chakotay became her love interest, and she went on several dates with him. To her embarrassment, The Doctor learned of the simulation when she collapsed on the holodeck due to her Borg programming, designed to shut down the implants of a drone should he/she experience strong emotion. These implants would require dangerous, repeated surgeries to remove, and Seven chose not to proceed. ( VOY : " Human Error ") The Doctor strove to develop a safer method of removing this obstacle to her development and several months later he was able to remove the implants with a single surgical procedure. After the affected implants were removed, Seven was free to become involved with the real Chakotay, and the two began dating in 2378 . Neelix gave Seven ideas for dates. In an alternate timeline, when Admiral Janeway was forced to convince Captain Janeway to return to the nebula, she revealed that Seven of Nine and Chakotay later married. ( VOY : " Endgame ")

Michael Chabon stated on his Instagram that, considering the evidence, it was safe to assume Seven and Chakotay's relationship had come to an end by 2399 . [2]

Raffaela Musiker [ ]

Seven of Nine and Raffaela Musiker kiss while stranded in 2024

In 2399 , Seven first met Raffaela Musiker when she crossed paths with Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the La Sirena . ( PIC : " Stardust City Rag ") Following the battle of Coppelius and the defeat of Commodore Oh 's forces, Musiker and Seven began exploring a romantic relationship. ( PIC : " Et in Arcadia Ego, Part 2 ")

Over a year and a half later, in 2401 , Seven and Musiker were on uncertain terms regarding their relationship. While Seven wanted to retain her personal freedom, Musiker wished to be closer to and more involved with Seven. ( PIC : " The Star Gazer ") When they were injected by Q into an alternate timeline, Musiker was noticeably startled when she learned about the husband of that universe's Annika Hansen. ( PIC : " Penance ")

After they traveled to the year 2024 , Seven and Musiker spent much time together in Los Angeles , often discussing their relationship. ( PIC : " Watcher ", " Mercy ", " Hide and Seek ") At one point, they even used their romance as a ruse and referred to each other as girlfriends, to gain access to a restricted area atop Markridge Industrial Tower . ( PIC : " Assimilation ")

After the defeat of the Borg Queen and Adam Soong as well as the saving of Renée Picard , Seven and Musiker once again talked about their relationship. As Musiker was about to inform Seven that she is fine with them going their separate ways, Seven leaned in and kissed Musiker. When Musiker nervously questioned what this might mean, Seven laughingly quipped that Musiker should simply "let it breathe". Upon their return to the year 2401, Musiker, Seven, Elnor and Picard spent time reminiscing about their journey together at 10 Forward Avenue . ( PIC : " Farewell ") The two subsequently ended their relationship again, but remained on good terms with each other. ( PIC : " The Last Generation ")

Physiology [ ]

The Doctor was able to remove 82 percent of Seven's implants and restore most of her Human appearance, but she still had some Borg technology left; these were tied into her vital functions, and removing them would have killed her. She was given a special suit and also issued a combadge . Initially, she also still needed to regenerate , like a Borg drone, using a Borg alcove , because her natural metabolism wasn't yet functional enough to support her on its own. ( VOY : " The Gift ", et. all ) Incidents that put more strain on Seven's Borg systems required longer regeneration periods, including once where Seven had to regenerate for nearly a week straight. ( VOY : " Infinite Regress ") With time, the frequency with which she had to do so diminished, allowing Seven to spend time sleeping outside of her alcove. While exploring her humanity, Seven took to sleeping on the holodeck , spending 49 hours over 6 days there with the only known side effects being a drop in her electrolyte levels which The Doctor noted was a sign of her missing regeneration cycles. Seven was later able to spend a couple of days trapped on Ledos without any negative effects from her being unable to regenerate during that time. ( VOY : " Human Error ", " Natural Law ") By 2399 , over twenty years after being freed from the Borg Collective, she appeared to no longer require regeneration as Seven displayed no signs of undergoing regeneration while working with Jean-Luc Picard . ( Star Trek: Picard )

As a former drone, Seven had considerable superior physical characteristics over most Humans. Her visual acuity was vastly superior, due to her ocular implant , along with an eidetic memory and superior physical strength for a healthy Human woman her age. ( VOY : " The Gift ", " Vis à Vis ", " Tsunkatse ", " Scientific Method ", " Relativity ") As for her regular Human senses, they were more acute than the average Human as well. ( VOY : " Body and Soul ") Her heart and respiratory system were completely reinforced. ( VOY : " The Haunting of Deck Twelve ") She was also much more resistant to injury and many forms of radiation , including chroniton and subnucleonic radiation that would quickly kill an ordinary Human. ( VOY : " Year of Hell ", " One ") In addition, she became an extremely proficient martial artist, mastering the Norcadian martial art of Tsunkatse . ( VOY : " Tsunkatse ") With her Borg implants, she was also able to serve as a physical host to any holographic character, who then had full access to her biological senses. ( VOY : " Body and Soul ")

However, the length of time that Seven had been a Borg drone prevented The Doctor from ever successfully finding a way to remove all of Seven's implants, forcing them to be replaced or repaired when something happened to them. ( VOY : " Imperfection ", " Human Error ", " Endgame ") This was in contrast to Icheb who, due to having emerged from his maturation chamber early and his younger age, was less dependent on his implants and could compensate for the loss of his cortical node using genetic resequencing unlike Seven for whom the loss of her cortical node would be fatal. In 2377 , her cortical node developed a malfunction and had to be replaced. The replacement came from Icheb who was able to adapt to function without the implant after undergoing some genetic re-sequencing. ( VOY : " Imperfection ") Her powerful nanoprobes were highly sought after and in the Ferengi market each sold for six bars of latinum . In fact, in 2377 Ferengi marauders attempted to obtain Seven of Nine's nanoprobes by perpetrating an elaborate scheme. Seven's nanoprobes had multiple applications which made them so valuable, including slowing the aging process and even reanimating dead tissue. ( VOY : " Inside Man ") As the result of an infected Borg vinculum that had identified her as an errant drone and was trying to reintegrate her into the collective, Seven once developed multiple personality disorder exhibiting the behavior and personalities of the individuals assimilated by the Borg during her eighteen years as a drone. ( VOY : " Infinite Regress ") In 2401 , she was thrown in severe pain when another transmission from the Borg Queen was intended to trigger dormant Borg components in most of Starfleet personnel. However, aside from the pain, Seven was otherwise unaffected by the signal. ( PIC : " Võx ")

Over time, The Doctor's skill at handling the problems with Seven's Borg implants increased. For example, The Doctor initially predicted that disabling a fail-safe mechanism that was preventing Seven from experiencing strong emotions wouldn't be easy to do and it would take several surgeries and a potentially difficult recovery. Although Seven refused at first, The Doctor anticipated her eventually changing her mind and studied the problem. Three months later, when Seven requested the fail-safe's removal, The Doctor had it down to a single procedure that could be done at any time and which Seven quickly recovered from. Prior to this, the fail-safe nearly killed Seven when she started experimenting with the nature of individuality and intimate relationships. ( VOY : " Human Error ", " Endgame ")

She also secretly wished to be completely Human again. She made that wish come true when given the opportunity in the virtual reality of Unimatrix Zero where Seven had been a resident for eighteen years before being freed from the Collective, although Seven and the other residents were unable to remember this time when they awoke from their regeneration cycles. Seven and Voyager would later aid the other residents in regaining their individuality in the real world. ( VOY : " Unimatrix Zero ", " Unimatrix Zero, Part II "} Also, in 2401, she had been transferred by Q to an alternate timeline in which she had never been assimilated, and retained an unaltered fully Human body. Upon her journey to the year 2024 , she felt thrilled that the people of that time period reacted to her without fear or hesitation. ( PIC : " Penance ", " Assimilation ", " Monsters ") However, when Seven and Raffaela Musiker tried to prevent the CSS La Sirena from falling into the hands of the newly emerging Borg Queen , she was fatally wounded. With the last resorts of Agnes Jurati , the Queen was halted from killing Seven and instead saved her life by partially assimilating her, thus reinstating her Borg implants to a state that, at least visually, was identical to her original implants. ( PIC : " Hide and Seek ") Although she was initially devastated, she quickly accepted the loss. She was later reverted to her original self when Q returned the group to the present after they corrected the timeline. ( PIC : " Farewell ")

Alternate Seven of Nine [ ]

Holograms [ ].

Seven of Nine, projected from The Doctor's daydreams

Seven of Nine was holographically duplicated on a number of occasions: Seven of Nine was created by The Doctor so he could practice expressing his romantic feelings to the real Seven. ( VOY : " Someone to Watch Over Me ")

A holographic representation of Seven in the nude was being painted by The Doctor when his daydreams were projected into the holodeck . ( VOY : " Tinker Tenor Doctor Spy ")

A hologram of Seven was used in order to evaluate the chances of a successful replacement of Seven's cortical node. ( VOY : " Imperfection ")

A hologram of Seven as a Borg Drone was used by the Kyrian Museum of Heritage set in 2374 , to detail their encounter with the warship Voyager , as an aid to a history lesson. ( VOY : " Living Witness ")

In The Doctor's USS Vortex holonovel , entitled Photons Be Free , Seven's alter ego was a former drone named " Three of Eight ". She was the only person aboard the Vortex who spoke in defense of The Doctor, and helped him escape after he was arrested for expanding his program. She pleaded with Captain " Jenkins " to prevent The Doctor's program from being decompiled, calling it a crime that individuals like The Doctor were not appreciated. When Tom Paris temporarily rewrote the program, the character became " Two of Three ". Paris made light of The Doctor's obvious crush on Seven by making the holographic doctor in his program chauvinistic. The EMH character used a Klingon aphrodisiac on "Two of Three," causing her to react positively to his affections. ( VOY : " Author, Author ")

Alternate realities and timelines [ ]

In 2374 , most of Voyager 's crew was duplicated by a biomimetic lifeform known as the " Silver Blood ." ( VOY : " Demon ") The crew eventually agreed to allow the silver blood to replicate every individual on board, and the real crew left the class Y world. They began to forget their origins and ultimately started to believe that they were the real Voyager crew and set a course for the Alpha Quadrant. By mid 2375 , they had developed an enhanced warp drive and were closer to the Alpha Quadrant than the real Voyager . At the wedding of that ship's Tom Paris and B'Elanna Torres, Seven caught the bouquet.

Shortly following this event, the enhanced warp drive began to degrade the structure of the ship and the crew, as it was harmful to the "Silver Blood." Captain Janeway decided to continue to the Alpha Quadrant in spite of this discovery, and did not attempt to locate a Class Y planet until many of the crew had succumbed to the degradation and the ship was severely damaged. Seven was one of the last crew members to degrade, and she attempted to build a message beacon out of non-affected materials to launch and hopefully be recovered. The beacon was later destroyed after the launch mechanism failed, and the Voyager disintegrated just as the real Voyager caught up to it. ( VOY : " Course: Oblivion ")

Sometime in the 29th century, Captain Braxton , of the Federation timeship USS Relativity , went back to 2371 and planted a temporal disruptor on Voyager in order to destroy it. The crew of the Relativity recruited Seven of Nine from late 2375 to help find the device because her ocular implant was capable of detecting it. Seven was altered in order to look Human, given a sciences division Starfleet uniform , the alias " Anna Jameson ", and sent to several time periods to pursue Braxton. Unfortunately, the side effects of the time travel were detrimental, and Seven died twice before discovering that Braxton was responsible. Further complicating matters, the timeline was contaminated by Seven's presence twice in the year 2371 and once in 2375, shortly before Seven was taken. Eventually, Braxton was apprehended and Captain Janeway helped repair the timeline by stopping Braxton before he ever had the chance to plant the disruptor. Slightly confused, Seven and Janeway were returned and reintegrated to the year 2375 and instructed not to tell of their experiences under order of the Temporal Prime Directive . ( VOY : " Relativity ")

When Voyager was fractured into several different time periods upon encountering a spatial rift in 2377 , the cargo bay was reverted to 2374 when the Borg first transported onto Voyager . Chakotay was the only crew member not affected, and contacted the Seven of Nine of this time period. She designed a plan to use a chroniton field to bring the ship back into temporal sync. She later helped the Voyager crew retake engineering from Seska in 2373 . ( VOY : " Shattered ")

In an alternate timeline occurring shortly after Voyager 's first encounter with the Krenim in 2374 , Seven developed a temporal shielding technology which protected the ship from the Krenim chroniton torpedoes as well as alterations in the timeline caused by Annorax 's weapon ship . The shield was perfected when she determined the exact phase variance of an intact torpedo lodged in Voyager 's hull, found while making repairs to Voyager 's badly-damaged systems. The torpedo detonated while Seven and Tuvok were nearby. Although Seven was unharmed, Tuvok was blinded. She assisted him in daily tasks aboard Voyager , as surgery to correct the blindness was impossible in Voyager 's state. When Voyager 's crew was forced to share quarters due to power failures, she shared quarters with Ensign Brooks . Seven found living with her difficult, as her personal habits were "chaotic." Seven remained aboard Voyager when most of the crew abandoned ship. ( VOY : " Year of Hell ") Seven later helped fit temporal shielding to the Mawasi fleet. The timeline was eradicated when Voyager collided with the temporal weapon ship, erasing it from history, along with any events caused due to the existence of the weapon ship. Thanks to Seven's temporal shielding, Voyager was able to erase the weapon ship from existence, thereby saving the entire galaxy from Annorax' catastrophic changes. ( VOY : " Year of Hell, Part II ")

In another alternate timeline created when Voyager used a quantum slipstream drive in 2375 but rode it all the way to the Alpha Quadrant , the ship crash-landed on an arctic planet, killing its entire crew. Harry Kim and Chakotay, who had survived the trip in the Delta Flyer , spent fifteen years trying to locate Voyager . They developed a plan to use a Borg temporal transmitter that they stole from the Federation to transmit the correct variance to Seven of Nine's cranial interplexing beacon in the past and therefore alter history. They stole the Delta Flyer and took it to Voyager , needing Seven's cranial implant and The Doctor's expertise to find her translink frequency allowing them to send the course corrections to USS Voyager and prevent the crash. Seven was located on the bridge and the reactivated Doctor removed her cranial implant. Once he was able to find her translink frequency – 108.44236000 – he attached it to the beacon. The first attempt to send the correction directly to her cranial implant failed, and Voyager was still lost. Kim then sent another correction, designed to collapse the slipstream, just before the Flyer , the alternate Harry Kim , Doctor , Chakotay and his girlfriend (Chakotay's) Tessa Omond were destroyed by the USS Challenger . The new plan worked, thus negating their deaths, and Voyager was saved. ( VOY : " Timeless ")

In yet another alternate timeline erased due to the actions of Admiral Kathryn Janeway, Chakotay and Seven were married aboard Voyager in the 2380s . However, Seven was killed on an away mission before Voyager returned home, and Janeway blamed herself for her death. This was a major motivation for her to travel back to 2378 and alter the past to bring Voyager home in that year. ( VOY : " Endgame ")

In the 31st century simulation of Voyager at the Kyrian Museum of Heritage , the incomplete records from Voyager 's visit in 2374 painted the crew as murderers and savages. Seven, still with full Borg implants, was the leader of a group of Borg aboard Voyager who were sent to assault several Kyrians . This simulation was corrected after the reactivation of a backup copy of Voyager 's EMH from the EMH backup module stolen during the ship's visit. ( VOY : " Living Witness ")

President Annika Hansen

In an alternate timeline created by Q where the Confederation of Earth existed, Annika Hansen was a politician who, by 2401 , had risen to become President of the Confederation of Earth . That year, she was to preside over Eradication Day alongside General Jean-Luc Picard .

She was married to the Confederation Magistrate who, although subordinate to her both as husband and in the government, had authority to order a telepathic incursion investigation if she acted too erratic or out of the ordinary. ( PIC : " Penance ")

Background information [ ]

Seven of Nine was played by actress Jeri Ryan . She first appeared in the fourth season opener, " Scorpion, Part II ". Young Annika Hansen was played by Erica Lynne Bryan in "Scorpion, Part II" and " The Raven ", and Katelin Petersen in " Dark Frontier ".

The concept of Seven of Nine began while Brannon Braga was sitting at home, late one night, and saw a televised promotion for the Borg-centric third season installment " Unity ". ( Braving the Unknown: Season Four , VOY Season 4 DVD ; Cinefantastique , Vol. 30, No. 9/10, p. 75) The idea of having a Borg crewman aboard the starship Voyager – a notion that instantly appealed to Braga – occurred to him as he was watching the advertisement. ( Cinefantastique , Vol. 30, No. 9/10, p. 75) He then brought the character concept to the attention of fellow writer Joe Menosky . Braga later remembered, " I called Joe Menosky, and pitched this idea, and he thought it was a great idea. And then we talked about it and all the things… 'What would that mean, to have a Borg character?' It would be really cool. " ( Braving the Unknown: Season Four , VOY Season 4 DVD ) Braga also related, " I called Joe Menosky and we brainstormed. I wanted to make sure it wasn't a stupid idea. " ( Cinefantastique , Vol. 30, No. 9/10, p. 75) After Menosky approved of the concept, Braga called Executive Producer Rick Berman . " It was late, but I was so excited […] He really liked the idea but he had the stroke of genius, 'Make it a Borg babe,' " said Braga. " And we just talked about it, for a couple hours, and we just thought, 'This is a really cool idea. This could be really... just the thing we need.' " ( Braving the Unknown: Season Four , VOY Season 4 DVD ) This marathon conversation between Berman and Braga took place in the spring of 1997 . ( A Vision of the Future - Star Trek: Voyager , p. 348) Berman was not the only executive producer to whom Braga suggested the idea of a Borg crew member, however. " I […] took it in to Rick Berman and Jeri Taylor , " Braga said, " and they liked the idea. " ( Cinefantastique , Vol. 30, No. 9/10, p. 75) Taylor herself commented, " The idea of having a female Borg was one of those that came largely through spontaneous combustion. It started with Brannon, and quickly gained a great deal of support. " ( A Vision of the Future - Star Trek: Voyager , p. 348)

Seven of Nine was originally called "Perra" and had witnessed friends of hers being brutally killed around her at an outpost on Kelta Prime , a long time before she encountered Voyager and its crew. During that early incident, her Humanity, according to Perra herself, had "died." There was a time thereafter when she wished she had died along with her friends but, when she joined the Borg Collective, that emotional pain disappeared and she found the voices of the Collective to be comforting. This backstory was even written into casting sides that, in 1997, were used to audition the part. [3] The call sheets for the episodes "Scorpion, Part II" and "The Gift" also featured Ryan in the role of "Perra".

The character's final name was inspired by "Rhoda", codename EF709 ("seven-oh-nine"), a voluptuous female android portrayed by Julie Newmar in the short-lived 1960s sitcom My Living Doll . [4]

Brannon Braga opined that Seven of Nine was the Spock or Data the show needed. " The Doctor came close ," he said. " I liked The Doctor character. But Seven of Nine to me was like The Wild Child – I was inspired by that Truffaut movie about trying to tame someone who was raised by wolves or in this case someone raised by Borg. " [5]

Brannon Braga envisioned, upon devising the Seven of Nine character, that she would ultimately be portrayed as meeting an unfortunate end. " Seven of Nine was, for me, designed to be a character that was gonna die tragically, " Braga admitted. " I planned that. " [6] He elaborated, " I thought she should have somehow sacrificed herself to get the closest thing she had to a family home. I think it would have been amazing but I was shot down. I was not running the show at the time; it was Ken Biller and Rick. " [7]

An actress who auditioned for the role of Seven was Hudson Leick (Callisto from Xena: Warrior Princess ). ( Beyond the Final Frontier , p. 308; [8] ) Another actress who read for the part was Claudia Christian (Ivanova from Babylon 5 ). ( Beyond the Final Frontier , p. 308) Brannon Braga was involved in the casting process from the start. He commented, " We read a lot of different kinds of actresses of different ages. We narrowed it down to three, and Jeri Ryan was the best. " ( Cinefantastique , Vol. 30, No. 9/10, p. 75) Ryan tried out for the role in mid-May 1997. She recalled, " I, of course, auditioned like everyone else. As a matter of fact, I read a couple of times and then I got the job. " ( Star Trek Monthly  issue 33 , p. 17)

Jeri Ryan's first day on Star Trek: Voyager was Tuesday 27 May 1997 on which she had a medical appointment like all the other main cast members. On this day, there were also the interviews with Ryan's possible stand-ins for which recurring Star Trek: The Next Generation background actress Cameron was cast. Cameron later left the production during the episode " Hunters " and the stand-in position was re-cast with Brita Nowak . On Wednesday 28 May 1997 , Ryan had her makeup and wardrobe tests followed by fittings on Thursday 29 May 1997 . Her first day filming "Scorpion, Part II" was on Friday 30 May 1997 with a makeup call at 6:30 am and a set call at 10:00 am. On this day, Ryan filmed some bridge and ready room scenes on Paramount Stage 8 .

The silver outfit

Seven's infamous costume began as a silver version in " The Gift ", which was also used in " Day of Honor " and " Revulsion ". It was retired because the material was too restrictive for actress Jeri Ryan's movement and it was difficult for her to breathe in, especially when she sat down. A new brown uniform, featuring a lower neckline, debuted in " The Raven ", and a variant with a small collar is visible in " Scientific Method ". A cobalt blue costume with grey shoulders and arms first appeared in " In the Flesh " but was replaced by an all-cobalt version in " The Disease ". A plum-colored outfit first appeared in " Dark Frontier ". Seven can be seen wearing a Starfleet uniform on only two occasions, the first being " Relativity ", when she is undercover in Voyager 's past, and the second being in " Human Error ", in a holographic simulation . Her Borg costume was also revived in several episodes, mostly in flashback scenes.

Some fans jokingly call Seven "Barbie of Borg" and 36D of 9, due to a common belief that she was brought on board Voyager mainly to boost ratings among male viewers. Jeri Ryan freely admitted this to be true, saying, " I knew exactly what I was in for when I had my first costume fitting. Clearly my character was added to the show for sex appeal, which remains the one way to get attention very quickly. I don't think it's the only way to get viewers to watch strong women, but it worked. ". (TV Week magazine (Canada) of May 8-14, 1999 pages 6-7, 9 from "Super Moms", an interview by Michael Logan)

Kate Mulgrew admitted that she and Jeri Ryan did not see eye-to-eye while filming Voyager because " I had thought 'damn, we were going to forgo all of this with a female captain.' But the demographics proved the audience wanted more sex. " However, she reflected that Ryan " did a marvelous job in a very difficult role. It was very clear to anyone with eyes in their head that Jeri Ryan's beauty and sexual appeal were an important part of the numbers. " [9]

Ryan portrayed the character in any and all incarnations of Seven of Nine in one hundred episodes of Star Trek: Voyager .

Keyla Detmer 's party outfit seen in the Star Trek: Discovery episode " Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad " was inspired by Seven of Nine. ( AT : " Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad ")

Apocrypha [ ]

In the PC videogames Star Trek: Elite Force and Star Trek: Elite Force II , Seven was responsible for creating a device called "I-Mod" (Infinity Modulator). The I-Mod was specifically made to be used against the Borg. The I-Mod device was made into a weapon of its own (a rifle), capable of firing unique infinitely modulated shots that made adapting impossible.

According to the video game Star Trek: Starship Creator , Seven of Nine was born on Gemaura III to parents Seka and Han.

In an alternate future seen in the Pocket DS9 book trilogy Millennium , Seven, along with Voyager and her crew, returned to the Alpha Quadrant at an unspecified time. By 2399 , Seven had been promoted to admiral . Seven, along with Hugh , helped to negotiate a treaty between the Federation and the Borg Collective , in the name of fighting the Bajorans , with whom the Federation was at war. In this future, she was apparently romantically involved with The Doctor. The entire timeline was reset thanks to Benjamin Sisko and the crew of Deep Space 9 .

In the Voyager relaunch book series, Seven broke up with Chakotay, moved in with her aunt, and attained much undesired celebrity. She eventually joined a Federation "think tank" with The Doctor.

In the Next Generation relaunch novel Before Dishonor , Seven of Nine had become a civilian instructor at Starfleet Academy specializing in cybernetic technology. When Janeway was assimilated to become a new Borg Queen, Seven joined the crew of the USS Enterprise -E to reactivate the planet killer weapon with the assistance of Geordi La Forge and Spock in an effort to attack and destroy the Borg ship attacking Earth .

Following the events of Star Trek: Destiny , Seven of Nine's remaining Borg implants were seemingly destroyed. She underwent a severe emotional shift, yet to be explained, and began asserting her true name as Annika Hansen once again. In the subsequent Voyager relaunch novel Full Circle , it was revealed that this was a response to the Caeliar, the race who absorbed many of the Borg into their group mind, implanting the thought that she was Annika Hansen in her mind when severing her last link to the Borg Collective. Seven quickly rejected the instruction and continued to think of herself as Seven of Nine.

In the timeline for Star Trek Online , Seven of Nine joined Starfleet after Voyager 's return to the Alpha Quadrant, and was assigned to a special Borg Task Force. When the task force was dissolved in 2385 – Starfleet believing the Borg were no longer a threat – Seven angrily disagreed with the decision and resigned from Starfleet, accepting a position at the Daystrom Institute instead. " startrekonline.com/timeline/2385.1 "

Seven appears in Delta Rising , the second expansion to STO, voiced once again by Jeri Ryan. In the wake of "Operation Delta Rising", a campaign to return to the Delta Quadrant to fight the Undine , Tuvok – now an admiral and commanding Voyager – asked Seven to leave the Daystrom Institute to work for the new Delta Alliance. Seven and her research team are rescued from a small outpost after the ship carrying them, the USS Callisto , is destroyed. Following a Voth fleet that mysteriously disengaged from combat, Seven and her rescuers arrive at the homeworld of the Turei , where they learn that the Vaadwaur have managed to gain advanced technology and have begun a campaign to reconquer the Delta Quadrant. Seven again expresses her guilt at awakening the Vaadwaur, but accepts Tuvok's offer to serve with him again on Voyager to combat the new threat. She also works alongside the Cooperative , a group of free Borg drones, in their efforts to avoid being reassimilated by the Collective or destroyed by their opponents.

For STO's tenth anniversary, Seven returns in the two-part episode "The Measure of Morality", now looking and sounding like her more "relaxed" appearance in Star Trek: Picard . While investigating possible Borg activity, the player character's ship is abducted by the Excalbians and forced to undergo further "trials" to determine the differences between good and evil. The player character and one of their officers are teamed with Seven and an Excalbian simulacrum of Michael Burnham to represent "good", as they battle "evil" forces in the Excalbians' simulations. During the Excalbian simulation on Essof IV , Seven inadvertently creates a Borg Queen in her image, using her genetic material fused with Control 's nanites. The Borg Queen Seven then takes control of the Excalbians' "simulation", even manifesting a massive fleet in orbit of Excalbia , which is ultimately defeated by another Excalbian-manifested fleet, consisting of several starships Enterprise , as well as Voyager , the USS Discovery , and the USS Defiant . In the patrol mission "One Night in Bozeman", part of the game's First Contact Day event, Seven is recruited by temporal agent Daniels to travel with the player character to April 4, 2063, just as the Borg Queen's sphere is bombarding Zefram Cochrane 's missile complex near Bozeman , Montana (as depicted in Star Trek: First Contact ). The Borg are attempting another change in the timeline, this time by focusing their attention on the civilians on the surface, as well as building a transporter from scraps to summon reinforcements from the partly-assimilated Enterprise -E. Seven and the player must rescue the civilians and destroy the transporter to ensure that the established events (including the involvement of the Enterprise crew) is not disrupted.

The Untold Truth Of Seven Of Nine

Some of the most popular good guys are former bad guys. In  Star Trek , there's no more perfect example of this than Jeri Ryan's Seven of Nine — a former member of the villainous Borg who became a fan favorite character on  Star Trek: Voyager . 

One of the more singular aspects of Seven's character is how popular she became in spite of how late she showed up. Seven of Nine isn't introduced to Voyager  until the season 4 premiere. Few regular characters introduced so late in a  Trek  series have proven quite so successful. But while her sex appeal, her ongoing struggles to resolve her Borg upbringing with her humanity, and her more badass posturing proved a hit with fans, it's clear her introduction to  Voyager  wasn't universally embraced behind the camera. 

Regardless, Seven of Nine's popularity endures. Not only does she remain one of fans' most beloved Trek  heroes of the past, her story has proven to continue beyond  Voyager  to the franchise's 21st century series. To learn about how a character named after a couple of numbers could earn so much adulation, keep reading for the untold truth of Seven of Nine.

Seven was inspired by an earlier episode

The special feature "Braving the Unknown" on Star Trek: Voyager 's season 4 home release reveals where the idea for Seven of Nine came from. Brannon Braga — a producer and writer on  Voyager — says the notion of a Borg character joining the crew came to him while watching an ad for the season 3 episode "Unity." 

In the episode, Commander Chakotay (Robert Beltran) finds a planet of Borg who have been disconnected from the Collective. Unfortunately, conflict rages on the planet as rivalries between different species re-emerge once ties to the Borg have been severed. An ex-Borg human named Riley (Lori Hallier) wants  Voyager 's help to create a new collective on the planet in order to restore harmony. In the meantime, Riley and other ex-Borgs temporarily connect Chakotay to their collective in order to heal life-threatening wounds and, eventually, to use that connection to force  Voyager 's First Officer to help them. Fittingly, Chakotay's experience in "Unity" becomes crucial in Voyager 's early dealings with Seven of Nine. 

Braga said after watching the promo for "Unity" he called other  Voyager  writer/producer Joe Menosky and co-creator Rick Berman "to make sure it wasn't a stupid idea." The consensus was that it was just the opposite. Braga said he and Berman "talked about it for a couple of hours and we just thought, 'This is a really cool idea. This could be really just the thing we need."

Seven, Ambassador of Borg

When Seven of Nine first comes aboard  Voyager , she isn't there as a friend. She first appears in "Scorpion, Part II," the season 4 premiere of  Voyager . 

Upon entering the area of space dominated by the Borg — a necessary hurdle on their journey back home — the crew of  Voyager  discovers that the Borg have bitten off more than they can chew. A race of vicious extra-dimensional aliens known only as Species 8472 is waging war on the Borg and winning. Captain Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) decides to use this to her advantage. After the Doctor (Robert Picardo) devises a technology that can defeat Species 8472, Janeway offers it to the Borg in exchange for safe passage through their space. The Borg assign Seven of Nine — a human assimilated when she was a child — to act as liaison to  Voyager 's crew. 

Once Species 8472 is defeated, Seven of Nine predictably turns on the crew of  Voyager . She tells them their agreement is over and the Borg will assimilate the ship and her crew. Expecting the betrayal, Janeway signals for her secret plan to be put in motion. Elsewhere on the ship, the Doctor puts a neuro-transceiver on Chakotay's neck which — because of his previous experience with ex-Borg — the First Officer is able to use to connect with Seven and distract her while Lt. Torres (Roxann Dawson) cuts Seven's connection to the Collective. 

Barbie of Borg

It didn't take long for some fans to call Seven of Nine " Barbie of Borg" among other, more explicit nicknames. The jokes suggested some fans thought Seven of Nine was brought on board mainly for sex appeal. From what we've heard from the creators and actors since  Voyager 's finale, it seems clear they weren't all that wrong. After all, while Brannon Braga's initial conception was just for a Borg crew member, when talking about that inspiration on the  Voyager  season 4 home release, he said it was co-creator Rick Berman who said "Make it a Borg babe." 

Jeri Ryan has no illusions about how much sex appeal played into her character's popularity, but she also feels her character offered a lot more regardless. Speaking to  HuffPost  in 2012, Ryan said , "I don't have a problem with Seven's overtly sexual physical appearance, if only because of the way she was written and developed. If it was a crappy character, then OK. But she was so nuanced and beautifully written."

Ryan has a point. After all, once she's introduced on  Voyager , so many stories revolve around Seven and her relationships with the rest of the crew. Without a layered, interesting character, none of those stories would have been possible. Fans may have shown up for the "eye candy," but they stayed for the stories.

She was meant to die

Making recurring appearances on  Star Trek: Picard , Seven of Nine is one of the only  Voyager  regular characters to show up in the franchise after the show's finale. It's ironic, considering that Brannon Braga planned for her to be one of the only regular characters to not even survive  Voyager . 

Speaking to  TrekCore  in 2013, Braga fielded a question about some fans feeling  Voyager  had "de-fanged" the Borg as villains. After talking about the Borg for a bit, he revealed his own ideas for Seven's fate: "I think Seven of Nine should have bit the dust. I think there had to be a real sacrifice for this crew getting home; a real blood sacrifice. Seven of Nine was, for me, designed to be a character that was gonna die tragically. I planned that."

He went on to describe how he planned for that death to take place, mentioning "Human Error," one of the final season's later episodes. Seven uses the holodeck to explore her human side, including a potential romance with Chakotay. As emotions begin to emerge, the Doctor discovers there's a Borg failsafe device within her — if she becomes too human, the implant will kill her. Braga said, "It was that moment in my mind that would set up the finale, where she realized she can't live here, can't live there."

For better or worse, Braga's concept got the thumbs down, and Seven continued her quest to become more human.

Seven vs. the Captain

Whle they start off as uneasy allies, the relationship between Captain Janeway and Seven of Nine eventually grows into something not unlike that between a mother and daughter. Behind the scenes, however, it seems clear that Mulgrew and Ryan were not the best of friends. 

When asked about her relationship with Ryan at the 2014 Star Trek Vegas Con, Mulgrew was diplomatic, saying , "We did not have a deep friendship." Mulgrew implied she'd initially resented Ryan's casting, saying, "It was very clear to anyone with eyes in their head that Jeri Ryan's beauty and sexual appeal were an important part of the numbers. I had thought 'damn, we were going to forgo all of this with a female captain.' But the demographics proved the audience wanted more sex and they got it in that beautiful, talented woman."

On 2013's  Girl on Guy  podcast, Ryan opened up about how ugly things got. She didn't specifically name Mulgrew as the actor in question, but her hints make it seem impossible for it be anyone else (e.g. she says most of her scenes were with "this person"). She gave examples of the actor refusing to let makeup and wardrobe crew work with Ryan before closeups and in some cases saying their lines to Ryan "off-camera picking their nails, thumbing through a book... without even making eye contact." 

Learning to date with the Doctor

When asked what her favorite episodes of  Voyager  were, Jeri Ryan has shared her  fond memories of episodes "when Seven was really starting to explore her humanity." In particular, she often cites season 5's "Someone to Watch Over Me."

Seven and Torres almost come to blows when the latter discovers that Seven has been observing and making notes on her and Tom Paris (Robert Duncan McNeill) in her study of mating rituals. When the Doctor suggests Seven should try dating on her own, the holographic physician becomes the reformed Borg's dating mentor. Among other things, he subjects Seven to a presentation reminiscent of a high school teacher's sex education lecture, brings her to the holodeck to try her hand at wooing holographic characters, teaches her to dance, and breaks into a sweet duet of "You Are My Sunshine."

Over the course of the episode, the Doctor realizes he's developing his own feelings for Seven. He's just about ready to open up about them when she tells him she will no longer need to be mentored because — after reviewing all the men on board — none are suitable as potential mates. The Doctor thanks Seven and keeps his longing to himself. 

Some of the crew felt crowded by Seven

Robert Beltran was known for being honest — even while  Voyager  was still on the air — when he wasn't happy about something. And one of the things he wasn't happy about was how he felt Chakotay and other characters were short-changed once Seven of Nine came board. 

Speaking to StarTrek.com  in 2012, Beltran said , "when the Seven of Nine character made her entrance, the focus changed... That was fine with me, but I think writers have an obligation to fill out all the characters if they're regular characters on a series. I think several of the characters were diminished — Chakotay and Tuvok and Kim and Neelix." He went on to say he felt Seven was easier to write because she wasn't fully human.

Ryan told the Girl on Guy  podcast she thought so much focus was put on Seven because, simply put, she was new. "Now the writers, who have been writing for the same seven characters for three years, are salivating for something new to write with," Ryan said. "Consequently, all the scripts revolved around Seven of Nine and her relationship with the other characters, of course."

She also said she was aware of some of the other cast's resentments and understood them, though the understanding apparently didn't make things easier. "When the new kid comes in and suddenly it's all about them. That was tough," Ryan said. "It really made it an unpleasant work experience. "

Icheb, the son she never had

Seven of Nine isn't the only ex-Borg to join  Voyager  on its quest back to Earth. In season 6's "Collective," the crew encounters a Borg Cube whose only survivors are children. At the end of the episode, four of the children come aboard  Voyager ,   where the Doctor uses the same techniques he used on Seven to remove most of the children's Borg implants. The oldest of the four is Icheb (Manu Intiraymi), a member of a race called the Brunali, who becomes a recurring character on Voyager.  

We eventually learn that Icheb's assimilation into the Borg was somewhat unique. In "Child's Play," Icheb discovers he was genetically engineered by his parents with a deadly virus meant to eradicate the Borg. His parents willingly put him on a ship and steered him toward the Borg in the hopes they would assimilate him and subsequently be destroyed. 

Unfortunately, Icheb is brutally taken away from Seven in the season 1  Star Trek: Picard  episode "Stardust City Rag." In a flashback, we learn Icheb (now played by Casey King) has been captured and his body is being harvested for its cybernetic parts. Seven interrupts the procedure, but Icheb is already dying and in excruciating pain. He begs Seven to kill him, which she does while sobbing.

Seven in the Mirror

One of the most well-loved stories of any  Star Trek  show is the original series episode "Mirror, Mirror" in which a mirror universe is revealed where the tyrannical Terran Empire replaces the Federation, and evil counterparts of the  Enterprise 's crew replace the ones with which we're more familiar. Subsequent series like  Deep Space Nine ,  Enterprise , and  Discovery  return to the mirror universe, though  Voyager  never got a chance. That's something IDW's 2019 one-shot comic  Star Trek: Voyager — Mirrors & Smoke  corrects. 

In the mirror universe, Janeway is the Pirate Queen of the Delta Quadrant and is perfectly content to stay far from Earth, where she and her crew can plunder without anyone to interfere. In this universe, Annika Hansen was never assimilated by the Borg, but her parents were. When  Voyager  rescues her from Neelix and Kes, Annika discovers the Terrans know nothing about the Borg. 

Ironically, while Annika isn't a Borg in this universe, she  still  betrays  Voyager . Shortly after she's rescued, she plots with the Doctor to take over the ship and kill anyone who doesn't cooperate. Their plans are foiled, and interestingly Annika's motivations for turning against them are never revealed. Though toward the end of the comic she refers to her captors as "the humans," suggesting she may be more than she appears. 

She never expected to return

One of the most anticipated appearances of  Star Trek: Picard 's first season was the return of Seven of Nine. She saves Picard ( Patrick Stewart ) and his crew at the end of "Absolute Candor," and takes center stage in the following episode "Stardust City Rag." We learn that for years Seven has been a part of a group of vigilantes called the Fenris Rangers, trying to bring justice to the galaxy in the wake of the Romulan supernova. 

As much of a success as Seven's return has proven to be, Jeri Ryan never thought it would happen. On the  Picard  after show  Ready Room , Ryan told host Wil Wheaton, "This has been a two-year process since this was first broached to me. And I didn't think it was ever going to really actually come to fruition." She said one of the series writers, James Duff, pitched the idea to her two years earlier, but she thought it was a joke. 

Apparently, it wasn't until the 2018 Creative Arts Emmys when Ryan was shocked to discover her return to the role was actually a possibility. While she waited backstage,  Picard  co-creator Alex Kurtzman told her there was a lot of discussion about her in the series writers' room. Ryan's response? "And I was like 'What? Really? Okay. I guess it's actually happening.'"

Seven and Locutus, two of a kind

At first, it may seem strange for Seven of Nine to show up in  Star Trek: Picard . After all, the character wasn't around for  Star Trek: The Next Generation   and we've never seen the two characters meet before  Picard , but if you stop to think about it, Seven may have more in common with Picard than anyone he served with aboard the  Enterprise . 

In the two-part TNG  episode "Best of Both Worlds," Picard is assimilated by the Borg and turned into Locutus. The Collective uses his memories and knowledge to kill Picard's Starfleet comrades. He's eventually saved by his crew, but the experience leaves deep scars. We see him suffering from it in subsequent episodes as well as in 1996's  Star Trek: First Contact . 

While Seven was assimilated when she was a young girl and spent a much longer time with the Collective than Picard, they share this terrible bond with one another. This never comes through more clearly than in an exchange toward the end of "Stardust City Rag." Seven asks Picard if he thinks he regained his humanity once he was cut off from the Borg. He says he did. Seven asks, "All of it?"

Picard answers, "No. But we're both working on it. Aren't we?"

Seven says, "Every damn day of my life."

Seven Of Nine's Arrival On Star Trek: Voyager Came With Some Growing Pains

Sometimes, the greatest and most famous characters on a television show are the ones who were added part-way through the series. That's absolutely the case with "Star Trek: Voyager" and its breakout character, liberated Borg drone Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan). Joining the show in season 4 , Seven's sex appeal was obvious, but she rose beyond the expectations for a fan-service character. Her journey back to something resembling normalcy after being assimilated made her one of the few characters on the show with concrete character development, and Ryan played the part excellently. Instantly popular, she practically became the show's star, especially in advertising. 

Of course, not all of Ryan's castmates took kindly to having the spotlight diverted from them, and this led to some friction behind the scenes.

Reintroducing the Borg

In "Voyager," the titular ship is stranded in the Delta Quadrant of the Milky Way galaxy. Two crews, Voyager's own and members of the rebel movement the Maquis, must join forces to get back home to the Alpha Quadrant. The Delta Quadrant had been established as home to the Borg , but the writers held off on giving their heroes such a challenge during the first two seasons. "Star Trek: The Next Generation" established a single Borg Cube could wipe out a Federation fleet; showing a single, lone Starfleet vessel besting them week after week would've strained credibility. Plus, villains as scary as the Borg are best served in small doses.

The Borg first appeared on "Voyager" during season 3 episode "Unity," which features a group of drones disconnected from the larger collective. This premise wasn't exactly a novel idea; "TNG" episodes "I, Borg," and "Descent" had previously used "drones cut off from the larger Borg" as a way to tell a Borg story minus apocalyptic stakes. However, the episode had a significant, albeit indirect, impact on the larger direction that "Voyager" charted.

According to "Star Trek Voyager: A Celebration" (by Ben Robinson and Mark Wright), when writer and producer Brannon Braga was watching a promo for "Unity," an idea for a disconnected Borg drone joining Voyager's crew came to him. His producing partner Rick Berman was also for the idea, but steered the concept away from a "cybernetic looking creature" like Braga initially envisioned. Instead, the character would give "Voyager" new sex appeal.

The two-part season 3 finale and season 4 premiere "Scorpion" introduced Seven of Nine. In these episodes, USS Voyager forms an alliance with the Borg against extra-dimensional invaders known as Species 8472. The collective chooses Seven as a representative to communicate with Voyager. When the alliance is over, she turns on the crew, who respond by severing her link to the collective. Now an individual for the first time since childhood, Seven is slowly assimilated by Voyager.

Ryan speaks up

"Scorpion" marks a sea change for "Voyager." From there on out, the Borg became the main villains of the series. Plus, as Seven came onto the show, Kes (Jennifer Lien) departed . For many years, rumors swirled that the price of Jeri Ryan joining the show was another cast member getting the boot; however, based on interviews with the cast and crew conducted for "A Celebration" by Robinson and Wright, Lien's personal problems, including substance abuse, were affecting her performance and this was the real reason for her leaving.

Still, that left Ryan in the always awkward position of the new guy, not helped by her being the effective replacement for someone the rest of the cast had acted alongside for three years. During an appearance on the "girl on guy" podcast in 2013, Ryan recounted the ups and downs of her "Voyager" experience; the transition was far from easy:

"That's hard when the new kid comes in and suddenly it's all about them. That was tough, and it was particularly tough for some more than others, which was not real fun ... basically, until I started dating [Brannon Braga]. Once I was dating the boss, funny how things suddenly cleaned up. But it was really, really tough the first couple of years. and there were many days when I was nauseous before going into work because it was that miserable. Just unnecessarily, intentionally unpleasant."

While Ryan doesn't single anyone out in her comments, behind-the-scenes gossip indicates there was one main party responsible for this unpleasantness: Captain Janeway herself, Kate Mulgrew.

Ryan vs. Mulgrew

One of Seven's most important relationships is with Captain Janeway, who becomes a mentor to her. One of the best "Voyager" episodes, "Dark Frontier," is essentially about Seven being torn between two mother figures: Janeway and the Borg Queen (Susanna Thompson). However, according to the cast and crew, Mulgrew and Ryan's relationship was a different story. Rather than taking Ryan under her wing as Janeway did Seven, Mulgrew alienated her.  

"The Fifty-Year Mission: The Next 25 Years: From The Next Generation to J. J. Abrams: The Complete, Uncensored, and Unauthorized Oral History of Star Trek" (by Edward Goss and Mark Altman) contains interviews with numerous "Voyager" cast and crew who shed light on the situation. In a nutshell, Mulgrew's treatment of Ryan was motivated by her frustrations that her character — a strong, empowered woman — was being upstaged by a role designed for maximum sex appeal. 

Speaking to Goss and Altman, Berman described the situation between the two actresses as such: 

"Kate was sort of the Queen of 'Star Trek'... She hung out with astronauts, she hung out with Hillary Clinton, and she was the spokesman for women in leadership roles, and for a lot of things. All of a sudden, this busty, gorgeous, blond babe appears who took away everybody's breath. I literally once remember some press being on the stage and just sort of pushing by Kate to get to Jeri."

In a separate interview for "The Fifty-Year Mission," Garret Wang (Harry Kim) added:

"Kate's anger was not directed toward Jeri Ryan, it was directed toward the character of Seven of Nine. She was the female captain, and now you bring in this borderline T-and-A character. When the writers/producers said no [to getting rid of Seven]... her anger was turned toward the actress playing the character, Jeri Ryan."

Mulgrew's attitude toward Ryan was steeped in her own frustrations, rather than being based on anything Ryan had done. Since the show concluded, Mulgrew has since cleared the air. In her own interview with Goss and Altman for "The Fifty-Year Mission," Mulgrew gave a more direct mea culpa:

"Let's be very straight about something. This is on me, not Jeri. She came in and did what she was asked to do. No question about that, and she did it very well. It's on me because I'd hoped against hope that Janeway would be sufficient. That we didn't have to bring a beautiful, sexy girl in. That somehow the power of my command, the vicissitudes of my talent would be sufficient unto the day, because this would really change television, right? That's what dug me the hardest, that to pick up the numbers they did that... that hurt me."

Seven overshadows the supporting cast

Mulgrew wasn't the only one who felt usurped by Ryan's role on the show. Speaking to StarTrek.com , Robert Beltran (Commander Chakotay) said:

"When the Seven of Nine character made her entrance, the focus changed... That was fine with me, but I think writers have an obligation to fill out all the characters if they're regular characters on a series. I think several of the characters were diminished — Chakotay and Tuvok and Kim and Neelix."

Beltran isn't wrong, but the mishandling of those characters predates Seven's introduction. Characterization was never the show's strong suit on "Voyager." Mulgrew at least had strong acting chops to compensate for the inconsistent writing of Janeway, but many of her co-stars couldn't compare, leaving their characters to fall into broad archetypes.

By the time Ryan came onto the show, "Voyager" had totally failed to use the most exciting part of its premise — the Starfleet and Maquis schism. When interviewed for "The Fifty-Year Mission," writer Ron Moore (of "TNG," "Deep Space Nine", and briefly "Voyager") opined, "When the Maquis put on those Starfleet uniforms at the end of the pilot, the show was dead." Season 3 episode "Worst Case Scenario" (a pre-Seven episode, I might add) features a holodeck simulation of a Maquis mutiny on USS Voyager. The episode reeks of the writing staff trying to have it both ways: introduce exciting new character conflict  and preserve the status quo. Yet, the mutinous holographic Chakotay comes alive more than his real self ever does. With Chakotay reduced to a yes man, Seven wound up a better foil to Janeway than he ever was.

Not coincidentally, the one character who adapted best to the presence of Seven on "Voyager" who had been working well before her introduction: the Doctor (Robert Picardo).

My Fair Seven

"Star Trek" has a long tradition of characters learning what it meant to be human: Spock, Data, and Odo. At first, it seemed the Doctor would fill this role on "Voyager." An Emergency Medical Hologram (EMH) modeled on Dr. Lewis Zimmerman (also played by Picardo), the Doctor has to become Voyager's full-time medical officer after his human counterpart is killed in the pilot. His character avoided being a rehash of Data (an artificial intelligence seeking to become more) thanks to his cranky bedside manner (which had more in common with Doctor McCoy) and Picardo's charming performance. 

However, once Seven was introduced and Kes was written out, Picardo became concerned. As he explained to StarTrek.com , 

"Kes had really been The Doctor's mentor. Officially, he's mentoring her as a medical assistant, but she has been mentoring him and developing his humanity. My concern was that she's been his emotional sounding board, his confessor. The moment she's gone, The Doctor is just going to go back to being a buffoon and a windbag."

When Picardo brought his concerns to Brannon Braga, the writer suggested the actor find a way for the Doctor and Seven to connect. Picardo elaborated,

"I ... suggested that we take the relationship that the Doctor had with Kes and we turn it around. So the Doctor thinks that the best person to teach Seven of Nine how to become human again is him ... Eventually, that culminated in 'Someone to Watch Over Me,' akin to Professor Higgins falling in love with his pupil in 'My Fair Lady.' That suggestion afforded me four seasons of great scenes with Jeri Ryan."

Instead of usurping the Doctor's role as she had some of the other cast, Seven brought his character full circle. Therein lies the benefit of having three-dimensional characters: it's easier to make their relationships with each other compelling.

Settling old wounds

Since "Voyager" concluded, it seems that Mulgrew has come to regret how she treated Ryan and has gained a new appreciation for what Seven brought to the show. At a Las Vegas "Star Trek" convention in 2018, Mulgrew praised Seven's character and Braga's writing of her relationship with Janeway, "Seven of Nine is what [brought] Janeway to life, as a deeply human woman, I believe. And I am deeply grateful for that."

While it's hard to excuse Mulgrew's behavior, one can empathize with the root of her frustrations. Despite the bullying she endured from Mulgrew, Ryan doesn't seem to regret her time on "Voyager" and is proud of Seven. In an interview with the Huffington Post,  she said:

"I don't have a problem with Seven's overtly sexual physical appearance, if only because of the way she was written and developed. If it was a crappy character, then OK. But she was so nuanced and beautifully written."

Indeed,  Ryan returned as Seven in "Star Trek" Picard." One only hopes her transition back into the role was easier than when she first jumped into it.

Jeri Ryan kicked off a new chapter of Star Trek: Voyager when Seven of Nine, an ex-Borg drone on the long road back to her humanity, was transported onto the wayward Intrepid class ship 25 years ago.

To celebrate this milestone and the indelible mark the character left on Gene Roddenberry’s universe, ET is looking back at Ryan’s groundbreaking introduction and Seven’s journey to becoming one of the franchise’s most important stories. 

In VOY ’s season three finale ("Scorpion" Part I"), a game-changing cliffhanger teased a brand new era for Captain Janeway ( Kate Mulgrew ) and crew. As part of a peace agreement, the Borg offered a liaison to Voyager as the ship continued traversing the Delta quadrant. While expanding a core  Star Trek ensemble had been done before -- Worf (Michael Dorn) hopped off the Enterprise to join the cast of Deep Space Nine just a couple years earlier -- introducing an original character mid-run was a brand new move.

“I think after our first three years, the feeling was we wanted to add a bit of pizzazz to the show,” Star Trek executive producer Rick Berman explained to ET in 1997. “We all agreed that we needed something to bring something fresh to the fourth season.”

As Berman told it, VOY was lacking one of Star Trek ’s most successful archetypes. The Next Generation had Data (Brent Spiner), an android embedded with the pursuit of what it means to be mortal. The original series had Mr. Spock ( Leonard Nimoy ), whose inherent half-Vulcan, half-human dichotomy highlighted both the grace, as well as the faults, of the former and latter. 

In search of what next iteration of this tradition could be, VOY producers flipped the script. “When we looked at what was possible, we realized the Borg were a group who had never failed to excite both the fans and the non-fans alike,” Berman said.

In June 1997, Ryan’s casting as Seven of Nine was officially announced.

“I don't think there's anybody in my generation who is not at least familiar with Star Trek and Gene Roddenberry and his vision,” Ryan told ET that summer. While Star Trek auditions are legendary for being quite the ordeal, she said her consideration was “not that arduous of a process,” which involved just a few readings for producers and the network (UPN, which later combined with The WB to become The CW) before landing the role. 

For Ryan, a lot of the TV landscape at the time was “dark” and “really pessimistic,” which made her excited to expand the franchise’s sincere, optimistic view of the future. “It should open up some interesting possibilities with the storylines, because [Seven] was raised, basically, as a machine… It should be really interesting,” Ryan said. 

IT GETS INTERESTING

Shortly after filming began on the season 4 premiere, “Scorpion Part II,” Ryan ended up in the hospital. 

While Seven’s mainstay wardrobe throughout the series had its own brand of infamy, Ryan’s full-body Borg costume and makeup prosthetics for her character’s introduction proved to be the most dangerous.

“The costume is very snug. And it's rubber and it's very thick,” Ryan explained to ET weeks later. As she recalled, the Borg costume was especially constrictive around the neck and the on-set emergency stemmed from moving her head in one direction just a little too long. “It apparently cut off my carotid artery and brought on a blackout,” she said.

There were other issues with Seven’s costume in that first week, but, thankfully, they were simply the result of Ryan having fun with her new castmates.

”It's their fourth year together, so it could have been very awkward,” Ryan said. “[But] they couldn't be any nicer. Any more welcoming. And every single one of them is a comedian, so it's a lot of fun. A lot of laughing. They kept making my eye piece pop off when I was in the Borg costume, because I kept laughing.” 

As for Seven’s captain, her integration was a welcome change of pace on-screen and behind the scenes. 

“It's impossible not to be nice to her. She's a kick. She's my kind of gal, frankly,” Mulgrew told ET in 1997. “I think the idea behind it was that Janeway would finally have somebody, as Picard had Data, to relate to in terms of developing relationship. And Seven of Nine is half-Borg, half-human. It's wonderful. It's filled with conflict and tension to begin with."

Mulgrew also revealed her words of wisdom to Ryan upon joining the ensemble. “I think what I said to her originally was, first of all, laughter is the only balm. It's the only way to get through this,” she recalled. “And I said take a deep breath, because this will end soon. And then you can relax and fly with it.” 

THE DELTA CHRONICLES

When it came to Seven fostering a relationship with Janeway, as well as her attempts to be more human, VOY opted for a slow and steady approach. As Ryan’s finished out her first season, she said the character is picking up where her six-year-old, pre-Borg self left off. 

“This is Seven experiencing a lot of growing pains, because emotionally she's a child,” Ryan told to ET in 1998. “This is her sort of hitting her preteen years and not really knowing where she belongs. She's not really a Borg. She's not really a human. How does she feel about potentially going back to Earth? And she lashes out at the authority figure -- Janeway. “

She added, “It has been a wild ride. That's for sure. It's been a lot of fun. I've enjoyed myself, but it has been crazy.”

The next few years wouldn’t get any less intense for Ryan or her on-screen counterpart. In the seasons that followed, Seven found herself wrestling with one existential crisis after another. Whether it was fending off the Borg Queen’s temptations to rejoin the collective or preparing to go on her first date, she always came out the other end a little less broken or, at least, a little less Borg.

There was also that time she wrestled The Rock . 

“[I’ve] beaten Stone Cold Steve Austin on numerous occasions. The Undertaker. Mankind. The list goes on and on and on,” Dwayne Johnson told ET on the set of "Tsunkatse" in 1999. “But [Ryan,] she's probably one of the toughest, if not, dare I say, the toughest The Rock has ever faced.”

Alongside the character’s many breakthroughs, Ryan noted that what made Seven’s journey unique was her passive attitude toward recapturing her humanity.

“I don't think it's so much that Seven really, really wants to be human. It's the fact that she is and she doesn't really have a choice now that she's not a Borg anymore,” she told ET in 1999. “She realizes that the Borg wasn't such a great thing in hindsight. She's just sort of taking what she sees as an inevitable course.”

THAT’S A WRAP

In 2001, the Voyager crew was set to finally return to the Alpha Quadrant. And like TNG and DS9 before them, VOY prepared to say goodbye to fans after seven seasons on the air.

“We've had a couple days that were a little bittersweet,” Ryan told ET on the set of “Endgame,” VOY ’s series finale. “I've been with these people for four years and they've been together for seven. And you really do become like a family, because you see them more than your family.”

Ryan added with a laugh, “I won't miss the corset.”

At VOY ’s wrap party, Ryan reflected on the end of her four-year journey, which also corresponded with the beginning of the end for Star Trek ’s television renaissance at the time.  

“This has been a wonderful, wonderful ride and I will miss these people so much, because I've made such dear friends,” Ryan said. “But I think it's time to move on. “

HELLO, CHATEAU

Nearly 20 years after VOY ended, Ryan was called back into service. Following the debut of Star Trek: Discovery in 2017, Sir Patrick Stewart returned to help shepherd another pivotal moment for the franchise. To everyone’s complete surprise, the first trailer for Star Trek: Picard in 2019 revealed Seven of Nine was part of the new series. But as Ryan tells it, no one was more shocked than her to see the character on TV again.

"I did four years on Voyager and I really thought that was it," Ryan explained to ET  in March . "And when I said goodbye to the character, then I really thought that was it. I was saying goodbye to that character."

Bringing the two characters together made sense to fans on many levels, but no more so than their shared history as victims of the Borg. As one moment in season 1 of STP conveyed (“Stardust City Rag”), both characters live with PTSD from their experiences.

Seven: After they brought you back from your time in the Collective, do you honestly feel that you've regained your humanity?

Picard: Yes.

Seven: All of it?

Picard: No. But we're both working on it, aren't we?

Seven: Every damn day of my life.

"[Stewart]'s a legend, obviously, and these two characters, it was exciting to get these two characters, especially, together in this world," she shared. 

On STP , Ryan’s been able to perform several full-circle moments for the ex-Borg-formerly-known-as-Annika, as well as portraying some of her most evolutionary and unbeknownst insights. Some of these are tragic, such as the death of her ex-Borg protege, Ichab, while others are well-deserved new horizons. Even amid the chaotic events of season 2, which saw Q (John de Lancie) throwing nearly every trademark Star Trek crisis at the La Sirena crew, Seven cultivated her romance with Raffi (Michelle Hurd) and re-upped her commitment to Picard’s latest band of interstellar explorers. 

"It's crazy. That's a really rare gift as an actor," Ryan said. "It was a rare gift to begin with to have a character that was so beautifully written and had so much growth, since she didn't even start out human. But then to be able to revisit her this many years later and continue her journey, It's been pretty astonishing."

Star Trek: Voyager and Star Trek: Picard both stream on Paramount+.

The Intriguing World Of Entertainment

Whatever Happened To Jeri Ryan, ‘Seven of Nine’ From Star Trek: Voyager?

By Courtney Dercqu | August 3, 2023

Jeri Ryan captivated Star Trek fans in the late 1990s with her standout portrayal of former Borg drone Seven of Nine on Star Trek: Voyager. With her signature skintight catsuit and icy blunt delivery, Seven of Nine became one of the most popular characters in the Star Trek universe. Ryan’s nuanced performance humanized the character and showed her gradual rediscovery of her own humanity after being disconnected from the Borg collective. Here’s what she’s been up to.

She was born Jeri Lynn Zimmerman, into a military family on February 22, 1968. Her father, Gerhard Florian Zimmerman, was in the Army, so Ryan lived in many parts of the U.S. including Maryland, Georgia, Kansas, Hawaii, and Texas. When her father retired in 1979, they relocated permanently to Paducah, Kentucky. 

After graduating from Northwestern University Chicago with a degree in theater in 1990, she moved to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career – and did start landing roles relatively soon.

Early Career

In 1990 Jeri Ryan competed in the Miss America pageant where she would represent Illinois and place third runner-up. For the talent portion of the contest, she would perform the song “On My Own” from Les Misérables.

Her first acting credit occurred in 1991 when she guest starred as Pam on Who’s the Boss and later Felicia Kane in the Flash and she would also make an appearance on Matlock.

Her first big break wouldn’t be until 1997 when she landed the role of Juliet Stewart in the TV series, Dark Skies. 

One of her first regular roles was on the short-lived TV show Dark Skies where she played the role of Juliet Stuart. The show was created to capitalize on the popularity of sci-fi shows like The X-Files.

Unfortunately, it was canceled after one season due to low ratings. It would be the cancellation of this show that would eventually lead to Ryan’s biggest role yet: Star Trek: Voyager!

Star Trek Voyager

Jeri Ryan would join the cast of Star Trek: Voyager in 1997 during its fourth season. She would take on the role of Seven of Nine, a former member of the Borg who struggles with her humanity. The character would become popular with fans and would remain a part of the show until its cancellation in 2001, appearing in 100 episodes altogether.

Jeri says she declined the role several times before eventually accepting the role from the producers, because she feared she would be pigeonholed in the Star Trek universe for the rest of her career.

The character was introduced to the show as a contrast to Kate Mulgrew’s character of Captain Janeway, much like Spock was to Captain Kirk in the original series. However, once Jeri Ryan tried on her costume for the role, it was apparent that this wasn’t the only reason for adding her to the cast. 

Seven of Nine’s Catsuit

The show’s reason for Seven of Nine’s catsuit was that the suit helped her regenerate skin.

In an interview in 1999, Jeri Ryan said she there was no question as to why her character was added to the show. She said it was clearly for the sex appeal.

Fans praised her performance as Seven of Nine, notably how she was able to balance the cold, emotionless Borg side of her character with the flashes of emotion that would humanize her from time to time, making her character much more than just sex appeal to draw in viewers.

On-Set Feud With Kate Mulgrew

Not everything on the set of Star Trek: Voyager was great for Jeri Ryan. Her addition to the show in its fourth season led to on-set issues between her and co-star Kate Mulgrew.

Garrett Wang, who played Operations Officer Harry Kim, said the feud was fueled by jealousy. Kate Mulgrew was the star and face of the show at the time. She appeared on covers of magazines and was on talk shows, but as soon as Jeri Ryan appeared on the show, all the attention was redirected. All the press and the media shifted toward Jeri Ryan.

Kate felt the show was no longer about the first female captain anymore and was relegated to the sex appeal of Seven of Nine.

Jeri commented at a Star Trek convention that the Paramount publicity department went into overdrive promoting Seven of Nine, because they felt it was their chance at pushing Star Trek: Voyager into the mainstream.

She also went on to say that Seven of Nine became the focal point of the show and was the a-storyline and b-storyline of almost every episode of the show.

Although Kate complained that Jeri should be written off the show, the writers and producers refused. Kate then openly became hostile toward Jeri and even suggested that Jeri should not be able to use the bathroom during filming, because of how much time it takes for her to get in and out of her costume.

Jeri Ryan commented that the situation with Kate Mulgrew was very difficult and working on the set was not fun, specifically the first season. She went on to say that she would get nauseous before getting on set because the situation was so stressful.

Mulgrew was silent about the issue for years, refusing to address the rumors. However at a convention in 2018 she addressed a fan’s question and said that although she was disappointed with the direction of the show, where producers and writers dropped the first female captain narrative and instead focused on Jeri Ryan’s beauty and sexuality, she still commended Jeri for putting in a ‘very solid performance’ that drew in viewers.

What did Jeri Ryan do after Star Trek Voyager?

After leaving Star Trek: Voyager, Ryan joined the cast of Boston Public from 2001-2004, however, that was one of her longer-lasting gigs for a while.

Once she left Boston Public, she mainly had bit parts here and there, including roles on The O.C. and Boston Legal.

She was a recurring cast member as Jessica Devlin on Shark from 2006-2008, and as Kate Murphy on Body of Proof from 2011-2013. 

Before filming Body of Proof, Jeri was able to watch two real life autopsies. She said, although it was morbid and she was sad for the deceased, it was absolutely fascinating.

She also played Veronica Allen on the TV series Bosch for three years, ending in 2019, and since reprise her role as Seven of Nine on Star Trek: Picard, which is still set to air its next season in 2023. 

What is Jeri Ryan doing now?

In 2020, Jeri Ryan reprise the role of Seven Of Nine in Star Trek: Picard, starring alongside Patrick Stewart and several other notable Star Trek alumni. In the first season she was a recurring character and in the second season she became a main cast member.

Star Trek writer, James Duff, approached Jeri about the idea and she eventually warmed up to it.

She had initially planned to stay away from Star Trek forever after the series ended in 2001. The decision was influenced by the tension that existed between her and Kate Mulgrew during the filming of “Voyager.” Ryan even mentioned in a 2019 interview that scenes with Mulgrew made her nauseous.

Despite her determination not to return, the fan base’s love for her character and a different version of Seven of Nine offered in “Star Trek: Picard” changed her mind. Ryan expressed immense satisfaction with the opportunities and character development she received in “Picard,” describing it as a “delightful surprise.” The way her character’s storyline concluded in the third and final season of “Picard” has left Ryan open to playing Captain Seven of Nine in a potential spin-off named “Star Trek: Legacy.” Though not yet in production, the series has generated excitement among fans.

Ryan’s initial rocky start with Star Trek has transformed into a fulfilling experience, and she acknowledges that returning to the role was the best decision she made for her character. Her journey illustrates how a character can evolve and how an actor’s relationship with a role can change over time, leading to new and unexpected opportunities.

Conventions

You can often find Jeri at Star Trek conventions . In 2022, she attended the 56-Year Mission Las Vegas convention, the London Film and Comic Con and the The Sci-Fi Summit in New Jersey and she will be attending the Destination Star Trek convention in Germany in September.

Jeri mentioned on a podcast that she didn’t attend conventions for a while because of issues with stalkers. She said she started attending again after convention organizers beefed up security for her. She revealed that at one convention, the security was on top of it and located a stalker immediately and removed him from the convention.

Her Marriage to Jack Ryan

Around the time she graduated college, Jeri met Jack Ryan, who at the time was an investment banker, at a local charity event. About a year later, they were married and went on to have a son, Alex, who was born on August 15, 1994. 

Jeri’s marriage to Jack Ryan wasn’t without its controversy, as they both agreed to have their divorce records shared with the public since Ryan was pursuing a political career in the U.S. Senate.

However, a Los Angeles judge would also reveal the couple’s child custody files, which revealed accusations Jeri levied against Jack about him requesting her to perform sexual acts on him in public. 

Though Jack Ryan publicly denied the allegations made against him, it put an end to his political career and gave the edge to his main opponent, Barack Obama. 

Jeri Ryan’s Marriage to Christophe Émé 

Like with her first marriage, Jeri met her current husband at another charity event. While attending a chef charity event in 2003, Jeri met French chef, Christophe Émé.

After four years of dating, the couple got married in June 2007 in a small, intimate ceremony at the Logis-de-Poelier in France. 

Émé is a Michelin rated chef who is most known for appearing on the television show, Iron Chef America: The Series.

Both he and Ryan co-owned Ortolan, a popular French restaurant in Los Angeles.

Ortolan is named after the French bird that is controversially prepared in French cuisine by being drowned in brandy and eaten whole.

Before being consumed, diners cover their head and face with a towel to retain the aroma of the bird.

The French government banned the use of the Ortolan in cuisine in 1999 to preserve the species, as it numbers in the wild was getting dangerously low.

Jeri recalls in an interview that during her time on Star Trek Voyager, fans of the show would often send her art and one of the most memorable pieces of art she received was of an Ortolan bird, drawn in the style of a Borg.

Alexander Ryan

Jeri Ryan has two children: a son, Alexander Ryan, from her first marriage to Jack Ryan.

Alex was born on August 15, 1994. When he was 17 years old, Alexander was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome, which is on the autism spectrum and makes it hard for someone to communicate.

When he was 21 years old, he participated in the College Internship Program , which helps young adults with disabilities learn how to be self sufficient. In the program he lived in an apartment building with other young adults and they learned how to manage a household, build effective social skills and secure steady employment.

Gisele Lynn Eme

She also has a daughter, Gisele Lynn Eme with her current husband, who was born on March 2, 2008. At the time of her birth, Ryan was 40 years old. 

Gisele is currently in middle school and enjoys riding horses in her free time.

Why We Need More of Seven of Nine's Story in Picard (and Everywhere Else)

Seven of Nine’s return to the Trek universe is groundbreaking in more ways than one.

StarTrek.com

Initially, the news of Jeri Ryan’s return to the Star Trek universe felt as though it was the worst sort of stunt casting, an obvious ploy to capitalize on fan nostalgia and subsequently boost tune-in for the new Star Trek: Picard sequel series. After all, Picard and Seven of Nine had never even met in the mainstream Trek continuity and, on the surface, the two have little in common beyond their shared trauma at the hands of the Borg. What could her presence possibly bring to this story, which ostensibly has so little to do with her?

Everything, as it turns out.

Seven’s return doesn’t just add new and unexpected layers to Picard’s personal journey, though that brief scene between them in which they acknowledge their still-daily struggles to maintain their humanity decades after their respective assimilations, is the sort of deep, meaningful character work fans dream about. Her appearance also builds upon and expands her previously existing story in a truly creative and meaningful way, one that leaves us with an entirely new and necessary understanding of the character.

(Sometimes, it’s really nice to be wrong, is what I’m saying.)

Seven has become more complex, more morally ambiguous, and more emotional in the years since Star Trek: Voyager ended. And as a result, she feels more fully herself – and more fully human – than she ever has before. True, none of us likely thought that Picard would turn out to be the Seven of Nine story that this franchise has always needed – but it is. And her arc thus far has been genuinely surprising, and something that few of us would have ever expected to see.

This Seven of Nine is a woman who has traded in her infamous catsuit for comfortable pants and a cargo jacket, a warrior who has risen above personal tragedy to carve out a life of purpose. She is legitimately and righteously angry – about the state of the universe, about the abandonment of those most in need of the ideals the Federation used to espouse, about the horrors that too many people are willing to callously visit upon one another. After all, who knows better what that feels like than she does?

She’s a woman whose body contains the physical evidence of her former violation, full of the sort of cybernetic implants that were likely outlawed under the Federation’s synthetic ban. We don’t know for sure whether or not this policy change is what forced Seven to the fringes of the galaxy or not – she ended up on Earth at the conclusion of Voyager – but it’s the sort of twist that would make her involvement with the Fenris Rangers even more compelling.

Her decision to join a vigilante group and dedicate her life to dispensing justice to those who might otherwise never see it, while helping those the Federation has largely abandoned, feels like such a natural next step for her character. Seven may describe her life with the Rangers as one that is “hopeless, pointless, and exhausting,” but it’s work she clearly finds value in, and as a character whose arc seems so firmly about growth and atonement, it’s shockingly personal and perfect for her. What better way to stay grounded in her hard-fought-for humanity than by constantly striking back against the worst of it?

It’s also why she’s exactly what the Star Trek universe needs more of.

In the world of Picard , Seven of Nine has evolved into a very different sort of character than she once was. She’s not here to be anyone’s moral compass or feel good story, she’s interested in righting wrongs and protecting the vulnerable. Yes, that means that Seven has broken a lot of rules that men like Picard would have once considered sacrosanct. Yes, it means she doesn’t have a very high opinion of the Federation any longer. But she understands, as he does not, that the world has become a harder and more dangerous place than it once was, and accepts that she must be harder and more dangerous to meet it.

And that’s a position that Trek ’s female characters rarely, if ever, find themselves in.

This universe has many iconic female characters, from The Original Series ’ Uhura, to Next Generation ’s Deanna Troi, Deep Space Nine' s Major Kira, Voyager ’s Captain Janeway, and Discovery ’s Michael Burnham. But outside of Discovery ’s Mirror Universe version of Philippa Georgiou, a psychopathic empress who gleefully murders anyone who disagrees with her, none of these women are even close to what you’d call dark, dangerous or even particularly unlikable. (Though Picard ’s Agnes Jurati is definitely giving Seven a run for her money in that latter department. Whew.)

But Seven of Nine has suddenly become one of Trek ’s most intriguing female characters all over again, precisely because she represents the sort of story this franchise hasn’t really told about a woman before. She doesn’t fit into any of the predetermined boxes occupied by the female characters who have come before her and, more importantly, the narrative itself doesn’t judge her for this unorthodoxy. She’s allowed to be angry and violent, vengeful and deeply broken in a way that’s traditionally reserved for men. Seven contains multitudes, all formed and shaped by her lived experiences as both part of the Borg collective and within humanity, and it’s why she’s so fascinating to watch.

Seven is now a cold-blooded murderer, a vigilante with little respect for the law who believes that the end justifies the means, even when those ends involve lying to others. (Such as, say, Picard.) She has apparently become very flexible about concepts like mercy and forgiveness, and is fine with violence as a method of solving problems. Yet she’s also a person willing to face down her greatest fear (reconnecting to the Borg hivemind) to save the lives of strangers she’s never met, and who acknowledges the depth of her shortcomings even as she fights every day to be better than she was the day before. Perhaps she’s not a role model, but she is definitely a hero, and in a way that women are often not allowed to be.

One of the things that’s been most surprising about Picard is that it’s a Trek series that pushes boundaries. Many of us (incorrectly) assumed that this show would be a warm and fuzzy bit of fan service, content to remind viewers of all the things we loved about the original The Next Generation . Instead, this is a series that is much darker and grittier than those that have come before. Picard appears willing to finally interrogate the morally gray themes that have always lurked just beneath the surface of both Next Generation and Voyager . (This show isn’t the first to reference the idea of harvesting Borg parts for profit, is all I’m saying. Check out Voyager's ) That it is also apparently a series that’s willing to push our idea of what female characters can be and do in this universe is an unexpected – but very welcome and long overdue – bonus. Maybe there’s hope for a Seven-led Fenris Rangers spin-off one day, after all, once her time on Picard is done. Because it certainly doesn’t seem as though her story is anywhere close to over just yet.

Star Trek: Voyager Cast & Character Guide

Jeri ryan's seven of nine costumes in star trek: voyager made no sense, jeri ryan would have turned down star trek: voyager because of 1 scene.

• Brannon Braga, executive producer of Star Trek: Voyager, believed that Seven of Nine should have died in the series finale to create a tragic ending for the character.
• Despite Braga's pitch, Seven of Nine's popularity and the open-ended finale of Star Trek: Voyager would have made killing off the character unpopular with fans.
• In Star Trek: Picard, Seven of Nine's character arc experienced growth and triumph as she joined Starfleet and ultimately became the Captain of the USS Enterprise-G in a more hopeful outcome than the one Braga proposed.

Star Trek: Voyager executive producer Brannon Braga felt Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) should have died in the series finale. Braga co-created Seven of Nine to join Star Trek: Voyager at the end of season 3. Seven became the focal point of Star Trek: Voyage r's promotions and media, becoming extremely popular while infusing sex appeal into the flagship series of the United Paramount Network (UPN). Seven remained part of Star Trek: Voyager until the series finale, "Endgame," which concluded the show's 7th and final season in 2001.

In the oral history "The Center Seat: 55 Years of Star Trek" by Peter Holmstrom, Brannon Braga gave his pitch as to why Seven of Nine should have died in Star Trek: Voyager 's finale . Read the excerpt below:

I thought Seven of Nine should have died. My pitch - because I worked out the story with Rick [Berman] and Ken [Biller] - and I said, “You know, we set up this tragic character who can’t ever be a Borg again, she can never really be human, and she is leading a really hard existence.” We had just done an episode where she had developed a love for somebody, and an implant activates - we learn that if she falls in love, her Borg implants will kill her. What a tragedy. And if you can’t love, what’s the point of living? This is a tragic character. I thought Seven of Nine should have died getting the crew home. There would not have been a dry eye in the f****** house. To me, the finale was missing something potent like that.

In its seven seasons, Star Trek: Voyager introduced many new faces to the Trek universe. Here is a breakdown of the show's main cast and characters.

Seven Of Nine Became A Centerpiece Star Trek: Picard Character

From borg drone to captain of the enterprise.

Killing off the popular Seven of Nine wouldn't have sat well with Star Trek: Voyager fan s, especially since the open-ended way the series ended didn't entirely satisfy the audience. 19 years would pass before Jeri Ryan returned as Seven of Nine in Star Trek: Picard , which launched the former Borg on an extraordinary character arc that saw Seven finally join Starfleet and become the Captain of the USS Enterprise-G at the end of Star Trek: Picard season 3 .

If the proposed Picard spinoff, Star Trek: Legacy, happens, it would star Jeri Ryan as Seven of Nine leading the new Starship Enterprise.

On The Shuttlepod Show in 2022, Brannon Braga said that he's "not sure I would have done" Seven of Nine's story in Star Trek: Picard before noting, "then again, it might have been better than what I would have done." Braga's vision for Seven appears to be as a tragic figure, and Star Trek: Picard did lean into the "really hard existence" Seven leads as a reclaimed Borg trying to live in the United Federation of Planets. However, Star Trek: Picard chose to give Seven of Nine a story where she overcomes hardship, both personal and external, to become the new Captain of the Enterprise, which is a considerably better and more hopeful outcome for the character than killing Seven off for the sake of tragedy at the end of Star Trek: Voyager.

Star Trek: Voyager and Star Trek: Picard are available to stream on Paramount+.

Did Star Trek: Voyager just repeat The Doctor's storylines with Seven of Nine?

I n every Star Trek series, you have your standard archetypes. Your commanding officer, your "Spock-like", your doctor, the chief of engineering, your youthful type, your rogue, your stoic type, your comedic relief, and usually the understanding one. Every show has one of these it seems. Maybe not as consistently with the Nu Trek of it all, but there's a reason why the newer shows aren't warmly embraced. They deviate too much from the established norm.

Yet, Nu Trek wasn't the only series that shook up the standard. Star Trek: Voyager did just that. Originally, the show had its commanding officer, Captain Kathryn Janeway. They had their stoic type in Chakotay, their rogue in Tom Paris, and their youthful aspect in Harry Kim. The Chief of Engineer was there in B'Elanna Torres, as was the "Spock-like" in the holographic EMH (emergency medical hologram) The Doctor. Kes was your "understanding" character, while Neelix was your comedic relief.

Only Tuvok was left out of the loop, though he was both the stoic and Spock-like type. He was also a firm believer in security, maybe more than most. Thought he was a sub-characteristic. The fact he didn't have a primary one is why his character often felt flat.

Yet, the call would be made to remove Kes and replace her with Seven of Nine, another "Spock-like". Like The Doctor before her, Seven of Nine had to learn to find her emotional center. The Doctor struggled to grasp his emotions until he further expanded the parameters of his program to help him better relate to his corporeal patients.

Seven of Nine would have to relearn how to embrace her emotions in a healthy way, thus reattaching to her human side. A process that took most of her time on the series. In doing so, she followed a similar beat to that of The Doctor. Both had to learn/re-learn human interactions, customs, and proper behavior. Both explored the concepts of dating and all that went into it, and both also explored how a more mechanical being can come alive when introduced to concepts like art.

While I adore Voyager, it's fair to say that they just repeated The Doctor's storyline with another character. Both Seven of Nine and The Doctor went through an evolutionary process on the show, one that mirrored both of their experiences. It seemed to feel like the more The Doctor grew, the more human he became and the more necessary a character like Seven of Nine became.

No longer was The Doctor unable to relate to his fellow crew members, and so the show needed a new "Spock-like" to come in and be that foil for the show. In doing so, Seven of Nine repeated similar story-beats that The Doctor already went through and honestly, it made the show all the better. Star Trek needs that distant outsider. It works better when there's someone who doesn't grasp the concept of humanity and has to see it play out.
