Star Pilots | Demora Sulu, helm officer of the starship Enterprise Appearances: Star Trek films Portrayed by: Jacqueline Kim

It wouldn’t be the Enterprise without a Sulu at the helm.

Demora Sulu, daughter of Hikaru Sulu, helmed the Enterprise 1701-B, an Excelsior class starship. She was shown to be bright, brave, and ambitious and beta-canon has her eventually becoming captain of the Enterprise-B. As a child in the Kelvin timeline, Demora lived on Starbase Yorktown with her father, Ben, while Hikaru served on the Enterprise.

So the beautiful Hikaru reunites with Demora and Ben gif set has landed on my dash once again and as I was staring at it, I noticed something…

While Demora goes to run into Hikaru’s arms, I noticed something in Ben’s hand. It’s not really apparent until you see the scene where Hikaru lifts Demora up and holds her close:

(Also showing because LOOK AT BEN’S ADORING FACE OF LOVE AT HIS DAUGHTER AND HUSBAND.)

Right there, smack in the middle of the screen visually is this:

That is right, a stuffed toy in the shape of the Enterprise.

Such a small, cute domestic detail that one spouse holds the child’s toy as the kid goes to greet the other parent.

But also, not only does it speak volumes, I want to know everything about it. Demora is at a grown enough age as a child to have one of those objects that she brings around everywhere. And her’s is a stuffed ship. How does she play with it? Does she pretend to be captain? Does she imagine adventures of her dad being captain? Is the ship even named the Enterprise? Did Hikaru give it to her or is it something she wanted or something Ben gave her, I just…

All the answers. Need. I need them.
