Robin Lefler

Robin Lefler
Gender: Female
Species: Human
Affiliation: Federation Starfleet
Rank: Ensign
Occupation: Mission Specialist
Status: Active (2368)
Played by: Ashley Judd

Ensign Robin Lefler was a Human 24th century Starfleet officer who was stationed on board the USS Enterprise-D in 2368 and became close with Wesley Crusher. Her parents were plasma specialists and moved around very often, so Lefler could neither call a place 'home' nor develop friendships, claiming her first friend had been a tricorder. (TNG: "The Game")

In early 2368 Lefler assisted Chief Engineer Geordi La Forge in preparing the Enterprise-D for combat with a Tamarian deep space cruiser. (TNG: "Darmok")

Lefler served as mission specialist for a mission exploring the Phoenix Cluster. She had a brief romance with Wesley, and she and Wesley foiled a plot by the Ktarians to take over the Enterprise (and subsequently, Starfleet), using an addictive game to get control over the crew. (TNG: "The Game")

Robin created a set of 102 "Laws" to live by. "Every time I learn something essential," she explained, "I make up a law about it, so I never forget."

  2. When all else fails, do it yourself.
  3. You gotta go with what works.
  4. Life isn't always fair.
  5. Always watch your back.
  6. A couple of light years can't keep good friends apart. (suggested by Wesley Crusher)

Appendices Edit

Appearances Edit

Background information Edit

Robin Lefler was played by Ashley Judd. Originally Lefler did not appear in "Darmok" as the call sheet for 18 July 1991 is listing an "uncast actress" in the role of Lieutenant Larson which could also be an earlier name for her which was then changed.

In April 2002, ZENtertainment (a now-defunct Hollywood news source) reported "Ashley Judd was on Letterman the other night to promote her new movie, High Crimes. Dave surprised her with a clip of her appearance on TNG, where she went on a date with Wesley Crusher (Wil Wheaton). Judd mentioned that she was reprising the role (of Robin Lefler) in Star Trek Nemesis as Wesley's wife." [1] [2]

This was also reported by About Sci-Fi, which added to the report "...Wil Wheaton, however, says he's heard nothing about that. Somehow, I'm not surprised Wesley doesn't know he's married."

Later on, "Judd's spokesperson denied this cameo appearance." [3]

In August 2002, Wil Wheaton found out, and reported, that his scene had been cut from Star Trek Nemesis. There was no mention (by him) about Judd or Lefler.

Apocrypha Edit

Lefler makes an appearance in TNG Special 3's "Old Debts" story opposite Montgomery Scott and Koloth, introducing three new laws that expand the canon list.

In Peter David's New Frontier series, Lefler was the chief operations officer of the USS Excalibur, under the command of Captain Mackenzie Calhoun (M'k'n'z'y of Calhoun). Her mother was an immortal, who went by the name "Morgan Primus" and seemed to have been nearly every character portrayed by Majel Barrett-Roddenberry. Various novels have also added laws.
