Saavik and Valeris are two of my favourite minor characters. Originally Saavik was to be the traitor in ‘The Undiscovered Country’ but Gene Roddenberry was concerned how fans would react, and Kirstie Alley and Robin Curtis had both declined to return.

@senyorspock has created some beautiful works exploring these characters which are amongst my favourites of their work. This piece was inspired by them. 🖖
