Star Trek: Strange New Worlds continues to introduce its cast of characters today, as the Enterprise medical staff reports for duty — starting with Babs Olusanmokun’s medical officer, Dr. M’Benga.

Now serving as chief medical officer aboard the Enterprise — fitting in between Dr. Boyce (“The Cage”) and Dr. Piper (“Where No Man Has Gone Before”) — this new promo also gives us our first good looks at the new sickbay set, as well as the doctor’s unique blue wrap-around uniform.

M’Benga was an expert on Vulcan physiology and stepped in to serve as acting chief medical officer when Dr. McCoy was away from the Enterprise. The character appeared in two Original Series episodes (“A Private Little War” and “That Which Survives”), and while he had no first name identified on screen, he did get one in the Star Trek: Vanguard novel series (there called “Jabilo M’Benga.”)
