We know nothing of Number One from the Star Trek: The Cage

[willpittenger]

Perhaps she should get a book with Number One front and center. Amongst other things, the book would need to give her a real name. I hope other books would treat that name as correct and use it too. (<i>Burning Dreams</i> centered around Pike, so other books based on the characters from <i>The Cage</i> might happen.) <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <hr style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em" />Will Pittenger<hr style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em" />Add this user box to your Wikipedia User Page to show your support for the SDC forums: <div style="margin-left:1em">{{User:Will Pittenger/User Boxes/Space.com Account}}</div> </div>

In "Star Trek: Early Voyages" (Marvel comics - AKA: The Voyages of Captain Christopher Pike) her name is "Lt. Commander Eunice Robbins". This series included the events in "The Cage".<br /><br />In the books "Star Trek: New Frontier" and "Captains Table: Where Sea Meets Sky" she's an immortal who has gone by many names including "Morgan Lefler" and "Morgan Primus", and mother of a regular character named "Robin Lefler". At one point she becomes disembodied and takes up residence in the USS Excalibur's computer.<br /><br />In "Vulcan's Glory" she's an Ilyrian colonist named "Number One" because she's the top intellect of her generation. <br /><br />The term "Number One" is commonly used in the British Navy for a ships 2nd in command. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

You must be the local comedian. The "Number One" in question was almost a Vulcan in nature. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <hr style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em" />Will Pittenger<hr style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em" />Add this user box to your Wikipedia User Page to show your support for the SDC forums: <div style="margin-left:1em">{{User:Will Pittenger/User Boxes/Space.com Account}}</div> </div>

I know humans in real life that make Vulcan's look like comedians, and most of them act like her <img src="/images/icons/tongue.gif" /> <br /><br />Before knocking those references at least look 'em up on Memory Alpha.<br /><br />BTW: in Early Voyages she eventually gets her own ship, becoming Captain Eunice Robbins <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>
