Burnham on alien Tuesdays

Why is Burnham available on the Tuesday cadet challenge? She's not an alien, and has no trait that would qualify as an alien.
That's Captain Tambourine Man to you.

    Why is Burnham available on the Tuesday cadet challenge? She's not an alien, and has no trait that would qualify as an alien.

    Oddly enough Graduation Burnham who could have the Vulcan trait (she is graduating from a Vulcan academy I believe) doesn't.

    It seems inconsistent
  • If Prisoner Michael Burnham had the Vulcan trait, I would understand the inclusion, but as she doesn't, I'm somewhat at a loss to explain it.
    That's Captain Tambourine Man to you.
  • Shouldn’t all Burnhams have the Vulcan trait? Since she was raised as a Vulcan, on Vulcan, by a Vulcan, and went to the Vulcan Academy.
    Weirdly enough, I’m also Vulcan Housewife. Also, RNGesus hates me, like really, REALLY hates me.
  • DNA wise she isn't a Vulcan, like Amanda Grayson isn't a Vulcan aswel.

    However, why Burnham is popping up in the alien cadet challenge is strange to me too. Her traits don't show any alien trait.

    Not that I’m complaining, but doing my TUF rounds today I notice Prisoner Michael Burnham is a valid character, meaning she’s alien or part alien. Now I know she was raised Vulcan, but that’s not in her traits, so should she be an alien? Should she have the Vulcan trait?

    Well, she has both Vulcan citizenship (albeit second-class) as well as part of Sarek's Katra, so that should justify her part-Alien status to some degree.
    Come join the Steeler Nation Fleet!
  • Partially agreed to Shy Khan. She's clearly not alien as blood/DNA but it's good that she can access that cadet set.

    In a similar situation: Kasidy Yates is actually listed as both Bajoran and Human (presumably since she works for the Bajorans), but she is not usable on cadet alien Sunday. She would make the ideal command feminalien for weekend missions.

    Someone at DB feels a hunk of Burnham love, but apparently hates Yates.

    Sisko doesn't count either and he's got the Bajoran trait.

    Thanks for chiming in. Out if curiosity, which "this"? Is Burnham the bug, or Sisko and Yates?

    Burnham I would have thought.

    Thankies for the clarification! I will relay this to my fleetmateys.

  • Kind of a bummer- I was digging having another replacement for Pazlar, and she is uh, part Vulcan! It’s just one specific Vulcan. 😅

    SirLanik Festive Jadzia Dax is a replacment for Pazlar.

    If you missed the event in which she was a threshold reward, though, good luck getting her. (:

    I believe she drops in 90k packs.

    I've actually been looking for her on three different accounts for well over a month, ever since I started getting serious about good cadet crew on my alt accounts. Haven't seen her in Voyages nor in the literally scores of basic 10-pulls I've done across those accounts. If she ever was in that loot table, I don't think she is any more.


    Could you please continue the petty bickering? I find it most intriguing.

    I haven’t seen her, nor have I seen any evidence of her, and I once went on a basic portal spree and bought at least 50 10x packs in an hour. And I’ve been searching for more than a month now as well.

    It’s become something of a joke in my fleet, that I can’t get a Festive Jadzia (I actually somehow got one of her dresses, but not her), so I’m fairly certain that if anyone else in my fleet had gotten one, they would have felt free to torture me with a screenshot. :P

    I also haven’t noticed any Gaia Odos, but I haven’t been keeping track of him as much. I only started paying attention when I saw someone else complaining about him on the forums.

    Burnham should have Vulcan for the same reason Bajoran Dukat has Bajoran, Cardassian Kira has Cardassian, Klingon O'Brien and Klingon and Grand Proxy Neelix has ferengi.

    They're not race changes, but they all have those trait. The "Spock's adoptive sister" thing was the large talking point for Disco. The only bug here is that she doesn't legitimately have the Vulcan trait applied.

    I think Burnham on Tuesdays should stay.
