A Starfleet lieutenant on the bridge of Christopher Pike's USS Enterprise, on duty during the confrontation with Control's Section 31 fleet at the end of Discovery's second season.
Lieutenant Nicola serves on the bridge of the USS Enterprise under Captain Christopher Pike. He first appears in the Discovery episode Such Sweet Sorrow, when the Enterprise answers Discovery's distress call and takes its crew aboard, and he remains at his post through the long battle of the second part.
He is among the officers answering Pike's orders as the Enterprise and Discovery, supported by Klingon and Kelpien reinforcements, fight to buy Michael Burnham the time she needs to open a wormhole to the future.
With Amin, Mann and Yeoman Colt he forms the supporting bridge crew that Discovery gave to Pike's Enterprise, the first glimpse of that ship's company before Strange New Worlds recast most of the positions.
