She had a life before and after the Gorn. Probably heard about them from people she met then.I think the writers forgot that La'an was Newt in Aliens and not raised by the Gorn.
I doubt she heard them talking about the Scavengers.

I assume she's the head nurse.Yes, it was established in the first episode of the series.
M'BENGA: I received your orders, Captain. This is Nurse Chapel. Nurse Chapel is on civilian exchange from the Stanford Morehouse Epigenetic Project.
This is turning out to be an awfully long exchange program.
Maybe she has a provisional rank/position based on her civilian experience, but they only ever call her nurse.
The only Decals they could find when scavenging around in supply were from before 2033. Or, construction was started on the ship they eventually used before 2033, and they didn't care to worry about how many stars were on the flag when they finally launched.![]()
US Flag code today says you are allowed to fly a 48-star flag, so presumably once USA gets these new states (hopefully not canada), they are allowed to use a 50-star flag on their designs; Or, because they are scavengers, at an early time they scavenged the ship that has 50 stars, and it's not their original ship.The 52-star decals were lost in the Third World War.![]()
How and why? She's on the Farragut. When would Korby meet her?Is Alvarez Korby's inspiration for Andrea?

Andrea
Andrea was a female android built sometime between 2261 and 2266, by Roger Korby. By Human standards, her behavior was quite simplistic, to the point where she would duplicate patterns of learned behavior. When discussing Andrea's existence with Korby, Christine Chapel described her as a...memory-alpha.fandom.com

Alvarez
Lieutenant junior grade Alvarez was a Human who served as a science officer aboard the USS Farragut during the mid-23rd century. In 2261, Alvarez was on the bridge and reported to Commander James T. Kirk when he arrived for their mission to survey Helicon Gamma. When the Farragut was heavily...memory-alpha.fandom.com
That's making a gigantic logic leap. Regardless, not everything needs to be explained.Is Alvarez Korby's inspiration for Andrea?

I really liked this one too. Good solid Trek story. TOS was a little before my time, but I did grow up watching that crew in the movies. And I must say, I'm really enjoying this show and these versions of those beloved characters.![]()
The nature of her job is rather vague. In the first SNW episode, M'Benga introduces her as on civilian exchange. Yet, she wears a full uniform, was given a rank (I think they refer to her as lietenant commander at some points?) and served in the frontlines in a war zone, none of which a civilian would do.Is she though? She wears rank stripes (granted they are bullshit ones) and she has always made it sound like she is affiliated with starfleet.
I know she says she joined Starfleet to find Korby or words to that effect but that could be recontextualised just like Pike's temporary promotion to fleet captain just so he could have authority over the Farragut (guessing that tactical directive hadn't been written yet).
I assume Chapel is operating under some kind of temporary commission that gives her a clear place within the Starfleet hierarchy. Like how T'Pol or Odo can give orders to Starfleet officers, Phlox can threaten to relieve Archer of command, or Kira can command the Defiant, despite none of them belonging to Starfleet.Again, the writers seem to have forgotten that Chapel is a civilian. I'm not sure how she can be the ranking medical officer, or even how a trauma nurse and bio-researcher could be said to be qualified to relieve someone of command but maybe the assumption here is a full hierarchy, so the crewman who cleans the test tubes would become ranking medical officer if everyone else is dead? It's also possible she has been given a field promotion to acting Ensign I guess?
