Commander Kassia Nox is the relentlessly sunny El-Aurian officer who greets the crew of the USS Cerritos at the much-mocked Starbase 80 and champions it as a place of second chances.
Kassia Nox appears in Starbase 80?!, in the fifth season of Star Trek: Lower Decks. The Cerritos has to put in for repairs at Starbase 80, a run-down station that has been a running joke since the first season as the worst posting in Starfleet.
Nox acts as the visitors' guide. She shows off a base that still runs on antique equipment and food stalls, and meets Mariner's contempt with unshakeable good cheer.
Her argument is that the station matters because it takes in people whom the rest of the fleet has written off. By the end of the visit Mariner has a new respect for the place. Nox is voiced by Nicole Byer.
