Starfleet Academy Archives

One of the highlights of season one of Starfleet Academy unquestionably is Paul Giamatti's Nus Braga, the Klingon-Tellarite villain and archnemesis of Captain Nahla Ake (Holly Hunter), with an ax to grind considering his incarceration was quite an inconvenience to his criminal empire, to say the least. At the season one finale "Rubicon," we see him exposed as a fraud[...]
