The Animated series Communications Officer of the Enterprise. Uhura appeared in 15 episodes. In the episode, "The Loralie Signal", Uhura assumed command of the ship when all the men aboard the Enterprise become distracted by the telepathic signal sent by the women of Taurus II. This episode's story was quite similar to the seventh-season Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Emergence". In "Emergence", the Enterprise-D passed through a magnescopic storm, this caused the ship's computer to briefly exhibit an emergent intelligence. Coincidentally, the computer in that episode even made use of the holodeck to act out some of the facets of its new personality, and Troi, Worf and Data were trapped and endangered there for a time. Recall that in "The Practical Joker" the Enterprise computer trapped Uhura, Sulu and McCoy in the holographic Recreation Room and subjected them to dangerous weather and other pitfalls.
