People do seriously cosplay Lucy Ricardo at conventions for this reason.

Best Admiral was Ross, hands down.

Canon.

Also a fun fact: “I Love Lucy” is even better in the original Klingon.

Also love that this figure exists, but she looks very good in those TOS colors. Have to make both make sense in-universe somehow.

So I’m gonna fan-canon that she’s El-Aurian. She joined Starfleet on the day the Federation Charter signed posing as a Human because her race had not formally contacted Starfleet at that time.

Later on, after becoming a high-ranking member of Starfleet Command, she revealed her true identity. No harm, no foul. She continued to climb the ranks, mostly serving an administrative role but also taking command during missions involving high secrecy.

As of 2499, she is a Fleet Admiral serving as the Marshall of Sol System, which by proxy makes her the Commodore of the First Fleet (The fleet charged with protecting Earth which includes the USS Enterprise).

If you ask her, she’ll gladly talk your ear off about the heydays of the Federation and how Kirk’s Enterprise will always be her personal favorite ship of the fleet.

“I’ve seen so many famous ships and so many great Commanders, but as long as I’ve been alive that was the only ship that was love at first sight. I may have spoiled Kirk with a lot of choice assignments as a result.”

That’s not a high bar, though. To be the best you just need to not get infected by an alien worm parasite or betray your organisation’s founding principles for the prospect of immortality.

Meanwhile, the Commander-in-Chief of Starfleet:

Admiral Ball, you have some explaining to do.

Did she pick up Romulan transmissions on her fillings?

Sorry @AdmiralPatrick@dubvee.org

Admiral balls.

Her fingers are really long…
