Star Trek: Strange New Worlds keeps its promotional machine going with a fourth new character introduction video — following Uhura, La’an, and Ortegas — as Bruce Horak’s blind Aenar character Hemmer becomes the next featured face to beam aboard the Enterprise.

Introduced in the fourth season of Star Trek: Enterprise, the Aenar are a blind, telepathic ‘cousin’ of the Andorian race — and Hemmer is the first time we’ve seen a member of that subspecies since the prequel series. The character is played by actor Bruce Horak, who himself is legally blind.
The teaser also gives us a few additional looks at the Enterprise engineering bay, an updated set which features the classic red railings and angled power conduits of the Original Series, but with a new heavily-technical engine core powering the ship.
Also seen is Number One (Rebecca Romijn) leading a landing party, a transporter operator (Andre Dae Kim) wearing another new uniform design, more from the Uhura (Celia Rose Gooding) welcome party in Captain Pike’s quarters, and another look at that downed Constitution-class starship.
One of our readers on Twitter also spied what looks to be a revamped Orion ship in the new teaser as well:
