American actress who played Laneth, a Klingon officer altered by the Augment virus who serves under General K'Vagh, in the fourth-season Star Trek: Enterprise episode Divergence.
Kristin Bauer is an American actress, also credited as Kristin Bauer van Straten, who guest-starred in the fourth season of Star Trek: Enterprise.
In Divergence she plays Laneth, a Klingon warrior who has been infected with the engineered virus derived from human Augment DNA. Like her comrades she has lost her cranial ridges and looks almost human, a change she finds deeply shaming.
Laneth serves among the altered warriors under General K'Vagh and speaks bitterly about what the change has done to her and her comrades. The two-part story of Affliction and Divergence was written to explain why the Klingons of the original series look so different from those seen elsewhere.
