So seriously, couldn't she just be Admiral Katrina Cornwell?

Hear me out. Sure, they've given her the "Prisoner" schtick so they can tack a SEC skill on her, and possibly make some of the items Klingon. (Haven't FE'd yet so let me know.) Great. But was that really necessary? Couldn't we have just gotten Admiral Katrina Cornwell with the same stats (and maybe the Doctor trait???) anyway?
Why did she need to be a prisoner again? It doesn't seem like the prisoner version means anything to their story. "The crew of the U.S.S. Discovery was enjoying a reception in their honor."
I hope this starts to make more sense. Call me a nitpicker, but I don't like seeing the word Prisoner come up first every time I open her card. Which I will likely do a lot, considering her stats.
Maybe it was because the artwork looks like someone who just got the *hug* beat out of them?

Ambassador Cornwell would be DIP/CMD/MED(or SEC)
Prisoner Cornwell is a character version that needed to use her psychiatric knowledge, negotiation ability and some fighting ability to get herself out of a tough situation. So she is MED/DIP/SEC. Evidently DB wants to give us a high MED character.
Also she's not a medical physician. The Doctor Trait refers to practicing medical physicians and perhaps evil geniuses who want to take over the world and/or galaxy.
That does sound nitpicky. Not to mention arbitrary.
I still say it was the artwork. They took one look at that border collie looking face and said "yikes, looks like she just spent weeks in a Klingon prison."
She is a Psychiatrist:

Psychiatrists ARE Medical Doctors:

Federation and Counselor traits were added to Prisoner Katrina Cornwell
Certain instances of character may lose traits and skills depending on the character. I illustrated the 3 different Cornwell's because each highlights how they use their training in one particular instance.
Durango Troi, as an example, is not a MED or a Counselor.
For purposes of the game, the Doctor Trait is reserved for Body Meat Practitioners and/or Evil Geniuses. Brain Meat Practitioners receive the Counselor Trait instead.
The former should probably receive the Physician (and/or Evil Genius) Trait instead.

Agreed. DB showed that they are paying attention to us here on the forums on this one.
Could you please continue the petty bickering? I find it most intriguing.

Dr. Hippocrates Noah, anyone?
She could have been Med/Com/Dip. There is a precedent to having Admirals that aren't Com primary:
Admiral Janeway is Sec/Sci/Com.
Admiral Picard is Dip/Sci/Com.
Admiral Kirk is Dip/Com.
I would just like to have someone with strong Med and Cmd, other than BO Troi.
The big noise the majority of noisemakers were makin was simply Med primary. Achievement unlocked
Then again, maybe they just wanted to have a variant name for Cornwell with her jacket unzipped.
I almost feel like the "Prisoner" moniker is more to fit in with the story of this event, than it is to honor any version of her in Discovery. For one thing (not really a spoiler at this point, so no tags here), I don't recall her ever carrying a Mek'leth when she was a prisoner on the show, as she holds in her artwork within the game.

Plausible theory is plausible. I don't recall clearly enough, but I feel like maybe Cornwell plucked a mek'leth off a fallen Klingon at some point? I don't recall her using it, if she did. Though now it also occurs to me that the artwork really should have been of Cornwell shouting in L'Rell's face:
An Admiral is a command position, its pretty safe to assume that any admiral is not practicing their previous specialization anymore and would not have it as a main skill. Diplomacy is a fitting admiral's skill. Security less so although in Janeway's case its more representative of what she was doing in that episode rather than any duty related to her rank.
There aren't a lot of Command/Medics in Star Trek. Its a side effect of all of the main bridge characters not being medics. There are some characters that don't have good representations at high rarity. CMO Crusher, Pulaski and McCoy should all be CMD/MED in part. Eventually we'll get a Captain Crusher, Admiral McCoy and maybe a Rear Admiral Cornwell.
THIS! This is exactly why I started this thread. Because all of the equipment looks like they started with Admiral and haphazardly added the word Prisoner in front of everything at the last minute.
The Klingons did not win the war. They are winning the war. She is still the admiral of fleet engaged in a war who’s outcome is TBD.
