Summary

• Soji's abilities and potential make her a perfect candidate for Star Trek: Section 31.
• Soji's role as an ambassador may leave her feeling unfulfilled, making her open to joining Section 31.
• Fans hoping for Soji's appearance in Star Trek: Legacy may be disappointed, as there are no current plans for the spinoff.

Star Trek: Section 31 is the perfect way to bring back Soji (Isa Briones), who was missing from Star Trek: Picard season 3. Originally announced as a series spinning off of Star Trek: Discovery, Section 31 was retooled as the first made-for-streaming Star Trek movie on Paramount+. Star Trek: Discovery season 3 set up Section 31 when the Guardian of Forever (Paul Guilfoyle) sent Emperor Philippa Georgiou (Michelle Yeoh) away from the 32nd century to save her life, after the time portal deemed Georgiou had sufficiently changed from her days as the despot of the Mirror Universe.
Soji was a principal character in Star Trek: Picard season 1. The murder of Soji's twin sister Dahj launched Admiral Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) on a mission to save Soji from Romulan assassins. Before she realized she was an android who was built from the late Commander Data's (Brent Spiner) positronic neuron, Soji believed she was Dr. Soji Asha, who worked to reclaim former Borg on the Artifact, a derelict Borg Cube controlled by the Romulans. Soji was a focal point of Star Trek: Picard season 1's ending, but she only made a brief cameo at the start of Star Trek: Picard season 2 as an ambassador for the synthetic race on Coppelius, her homeworld.
Isa Briones played a new character, Kore Soong, for the rest of Star Trek: Picard season 2.
