Mirror universe
(coexisting on another dimensional plane)

For the prime universe counterpart, please see Leeta.

Leeta was a Bajoran working with the Terran Resistance Forces on Terok Nor in 2375.

Following the Terran Rebellion's defeat of Regent Worf, "Smiley" O'Brien instructed her to "debrief" Ezri Tigan, which Leeta apparently took literally. When Rom told her "We're married!", she gave him a disgusted look and sneered, "I don't think so...!". Like Ezri and the Intendant, Leeta seemed to prefer female companionship. (DS9: "The Emperor's New Cloak")

Background[]

Leeta was played by Chase Masterson. She commented: "I absolutely loved playing mirror Leeta because she is so deliciously evil. She would eat the Borg Queen for breakfast and come back for seconds. She is ruthless and selfish and everything regular Leeta is not. It is really fun to get into that character and to realize the depth in that people are only that vicious and selfish out of fear. So, it really is a multi-layered character that is fun to get into". [1]

Apocrypha[]

Leeta has appeared in the novels Dark Passions, Saturn's Children, The Soul Key, and Rise Like Lions (in which she was killed aboard the ISS Defiant), as well as the short story "A Terrible Beauty".

The mirror Leeta also features prominently in the computer game Star Trek Online, voiced by Chase Masterson. Depicted to be an opportunistic captain of the reborn Terran Empire, Leeta collaborates with the True Way in an effort to invade the prime universe and conquer the Federation. In later missions, she is promoted to the rank of Admiral and commands the ISS Enterprise, the mirror counterpart to the USS Enterprise-F. Admiral Leeta commands the Terran forces of the "Temporal Liberation Front" at the Battle of Procyon V, and leads boarding parties onto the USS Enterprise-J to disable the Tox Uthat before it can be used to destroy the Sphere-Builders' command sphere. When she is defeated by the player character, she abandons her "allies" and returns to her Enterprise, escaping back to the mirror universe. She later returns in the "Reflections" story in September 2021 as a defector from the Empire, intending on warning the expanded "Khitomer Alliance" about the as-yet unidentified Terran Emperor's intention of using a frightening super weapon that could destroy both the prime and mirror universes (later revealed in the "Terran Gambit" storyline released in 2022 to be "the Other", the mirror universe's version of V'ger). In the mission "The Calling", released in May 2022, she retakes control of the ISS Enterprise from the mirror counterpart of the Lukari captain Kuumaarke, and joins with the Alliance.

In the mission "The Eye of the Storm", released in September 2022, Leeta joins an Alliance fleet that crosses into the mirror universe to engage the Terran fleet, led by the Emperor (revealed to be the mirror counterpart of Wesley Crusher). When the Emperor's flagship, the Acheron (a battleship based on the ISS Charon), disables the Alliance fleet and enters "the Other", Leeta gives chase, having willingly allowed a Pah-wraith to possess her in order to stop Crusher, who seeks to use "the Other" to become a god and wage war upon all universes, starting with the prime universe. The Pah-wraith abandons her out of fear of the combined powers of the Emperor and "the Other", but Leeta convinces "the Inquisitor", the mirror counterpart of the player character, to turn on the fanatical Captain Sylvia Tilly, killing her. The mission "The Fujiwhara Effect", released in January 2023, ends with Leeta becoming the new Empress of the Terran Empire after Emperor Crusher is deposed by the Alliance, aided by the Inquisitor and Marshal Kathryn Janeway.
