Ad Astra Per Aspera" Takes On A Greater Meaning In Strange New Worlds' Crossover

: The crossover in Strange New Worlds revealed that Boimler indeed has a poster of Number One displayed in his bunk on the USS Cerritos. However, this poster is only depicted in the distinctive animation style of Star Trek: Lower Decks in the episode. The live-action version of the poster featuring Number One is exceptionally captivating, and it is highly likely that avid Star Trek enthusiasts would desire tangible copies of "Numero Una, the hottest First Officer in Starfleet" to adorn their walls with.

The crossover in Strange New Worlds adds a deeper significance to "Ad Astra Per Aspera," the Latin phrase that inspired Brad Boimler to join Starfleet. It also demonstrates that Number One's influence extends into the 24th century, and that Starfleet no longer discriminates against her as a genetically modified Illyrian. In the second episode of Strange New Worlds season 2, Una reveals that "Ad Astra Per Aspera" holds personal importance to her, representing the idea of overcoming challenges to reach the stars. This belief compelled Una Chin-Riley to pursue her dream of exploring the galaxies, even though she needed to conceal her Illyrian identity.

Number One was deeply moved to see the phrase "Ad Astra Per Aspera" on the Starfleet recruitment poster featuring her. In episode 2 of Strange New Worlds season 2, it was revealed that she decided to reveal her true identity to Starfleet and face a court-martial. Thankfully, with the help of her lawyer and longtime friend Neera Ketoul (played by Yetide Badaki), she won the case. Una proudly returned to the USS Enterprise as the First Officer, embraced and accepted by her crew for who she truly is in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. In the 24th century depicted in Star Trek: Lower Decks, it is reassuring to know that Number One serves as a symbol of excellence within Starfleet. The phrase "Ad Astra Per Aspera" serves as a source of inspiration for others to embark on the journey of exploring the stars.
