Academy Award winner Michelle Yeoh is back in action in the Star Trek Universe as Philippa Georgiou in Star Trek: Section 31. The feature film is making its debut on Paramount Plus as the streaming platform boldly explores a very different branch of Starfleet.

Philippa Georgiou became a fan-favorite character in the Star Trek Universe after her debut in Star Trek: Discovery. Georgiou was introduced as the captain of the USS Shenzhou in the pilot episode and she also served as a mentor to Sonequa Martin-Green's Michael Burnham. As season 1 progressed, Yeoh ended up playing an alternate universe version of the character; instead of the noble starship captain, this version of Georgiou was the ruthless leader of the Terran Empire. Given her extensive experience with conquest, Georgiou ends up working for Starfleet's secretive Section 31.

Here's everything we know about Star Trek: Section 31.
