Cheron

It's worth pointing out that both of the Cheronians that we have seen post ...Last Battlefield were of Bele's ethnicity, which may not bode well for Lokai's brethren.

Given they held power they may have had colonies.

Not sure if anyone shared that before anywhere, but I randomly found this Instagram video from Augusto Bitter showing the makeup process and costuming for his stint as Virgil.

I had no idea his makeup was a full latex face mask, like they did for the Orions in Discovery. I wonder why they did it like this.

What’s also interesting is that he’s wearing contact lenses with some interesting designs that I can’t say I noticed in the film itself.

Spoiler: Starfleet Academy Season One

What’s interesting is that the two Cheron cadets (or were they one and the same?) we saw on the Athena apparently didn’t have those irises. With the first one it’s really hard to make out, but even though the second one seems to wear some sort of contact lens, they don’t appear to be identical to the ones Augusto was wearing. Not to mention that of course neither Bele nor Lokai from “Let That Be Our Last Battlefield” had any sort of special iris.

Almost looks like Geordi's implants, maybe that's what they are

with a whimsical designer who decided to make them inverted colours of each other

When the Academy episodes first aired I just assumed it was the same Cheronian cadet who just changed up her hair as the year went on but looking at those stills I'm not so sure anymore. Of course we had three different looking and sounding Ziyals and accept they are one person...

Certainly an avenue for lots of interesting stories with the Cheronians.

When Ake is giving her welcome speech in "Kids These Days", she comments that some of them are the first of their species to attend, and when she says that the picture focuses on SAM. However, then she says that some of them are the last. Now they weren't showing the Cheronian in the picture at that time, but given what we know of the race it's not outside the realm of possibility.

I had the same thought.
