Could she be an Acting Ensign, or is this the commans track uniform?

Is Derem's pin a Squad pin as weve not yet formally been given a Squad?

I like this idea of her becoming Acting Ensign. Would make sense for the character.

Yeah, I think it might be something like this. I wanna say the symbol also looks vaguely like some kind of flyer, although we haven’t yet seen evidence of Starfleet in this century using smaller combat flyers.
 
In Karim Diané’s instagram post about wrapping filming on season two (and possibly the show?) there are some interesting clues for keen-eyed observers …
  • Bella Shepard sports a new dress variant of the cadet uniform in red. IIRC, we haven’t seen this one on the show yet, only a grey version where the skirt is a separate element. Curiously the stripes on here uniform are black and grey / silver, like they are on Caleb’s cadet uniform, instead of the black / red command track (?) variant Genesis has been wearing throughout season one. Am I reading too much into this or is it possible she will have switched paths by the end of season two?
  • In the background we appear to be seeing a man wearing the black War College uniform. Assuming this is from when they were filming the season two finale, I guess that puts a nail in the coffin of the theory that the War College will somehow be disbanded or integrated into Starfleet Academy.
  • George Hawkins is wearing some sort of pin / medal / badge on his chest, and the second image is the one that shows it most clearly. Some medal of valor they decorated him with? Or does it possibly indicate that he’s become part of some separate group within the Academy?

She's on Command track
 
Hasn‘t she been on the command track this entire time, though? Still seems to be a new uniform (variant) that no other cadet in those clips is wearing. Plus, the stripes are now black/silver instead of black/red. But I guess this could just be due to the entire uniform being mainly red now. :)

Definitely a case of color design and inverting the colors so the red stripes don't get lost against the rest of the tunic.

Also looks like there's some sort of rank stripes on the sleeve. Maybe each one signifies the cadet's year?
 
So, what do we want to see in this finale?

I want to see Genesis get a chance to step up. She feels like she’s been dragged into events, or kind of a passenger, and I want to see something more proactive for her than ‘dragged into Caleb’s latest overwrought drama.’

And I want to Darem go fish-boy and A) $&@“ %^#* up and maybe even do something shocking like kill Nus Braka or B) try to ‘go big’ and get slapped down and come to the humbling realization that he’s been *allowed* to win most of life as none of his competitors on Khionia wanted to beat / embarrass their future king. Either could take him in an interesting direction.
 
I’d also like something for Jay’Den utilizing his medical focus but I am not sure this will be his chance.

Random other speculation; Venari Ral Empire suggests a Venari Ral Emperor. Or Empress.

What if Venari Ral was never just a name of a group, but the name of a *person*? Their leader.
 
Maybe there's overthinking happening on Gen's uniform colour. It could simply be that she's about to serve on a ship and cadets have a uniform that more closely aligns with standard ship colours (like Uhura in SNW s1). Though that also explains why she hasn't got the standard delta=based tricom, she really ought to have a tricom if on active ship duty.
 
Could Caleb's mom actually be a Venari Ral operative and possibly, Nus Braka's boss?

From the 1.09 thread -

Doing a rewatch and two scenes stand out -

i) Caleb suspects Anisha joined the Venari Ral, she protests, "No, I was never one of them, Caleb ..."

ii) Before Athena drops into the atmosphere, the guard says she recognises Anisha, is about to name her, but Anisha blasts the guard with a phaser. Who is she really?
