Ensign Ro Laren is one of Star Trek’s most tragic characters, and her fate leaves no doubt of her placement on the list of saddest destinies in the Trek universe.
In IDW Publishing’s Star Trek: Defiant #1, Worf assembles a rag-tag team of outlaws to help him fight Kahless and the Red Path, a Klingon cult bent on killing the universe’s god-like beings. Among the crew Worf selects is Ro Laren, who is being held in a Federation prison–and readers learn that neither the Federation, nor the Maquis freedom fighters, ever trusted her.
