On the other side of one of these rifts emerge an alternative realityUSS Cerritos with a conversant bridge crowd sport notably different flavor .
Like the alternate USS Cerritos crew , the USS Enterprise - five hundred crowd inStar Trek : The Next Generationalso change significantlyand underwent more than a few cosmetic and personnel changes before everyone locate into their most iconic plaza . AfterStar Trek : The Next Generationseason 1 , Lt . Tasha Yar ( Denise Crosby ) was replaced as Security Chief by Lt . Worf ( Michael Dorn ) , who traded a red uniform for gold and grew out his hair . Lt . Commander Geordi La Forge ( LeVar Burton ) also earned a gold uniform and a furtherance to Chief Engineer .

Star Trek ’s new Riker is a variant of Lt . Brad Boimler ( Jack Quaid ) from the alternate timeline USS Cerritos in theStar Trek : Lower Decksseason 5 ’s trailer . Some crew members on Captain Becky Freeman ’s ( Tawny Newsome ) variant Cerritos have twist that tie them back to someone fromStar Trek : The Next Generation . Lt . Shaxs ( Fred Tatasciore ) has grown out his pilus like fellow Chief of Security Worf does in laterTNGseasons . Lt .

Like William Riker , Brad Boimler is a loyal Starfleet officer probable to stick with a believe Captain on a prestigious assignment . If Boimler becomes Mariner ’s First Officer , asStar Trek : Lower Decksseems to be set up , Bradward might stay there for a while .
