Isis was a shapeshifting alien introduced in the Star Trek episode Assignment: Earth. She could assume a humanoid shape, but most often would assume the shape of a black Terran cat. In human form Isis was portrayed by April Tatro, and in feline form by three different cats.
History[]
Isis accompanied Gary Seven to Earth in the year 1968. After helping Seven escape from the Enterprise Isis beamed with him to New York City on Earth. She assisted Seven in sabotaging an orbital nuclear defense platform, which Seven caused to veer off course and detonate 104 miles above Earth. This helped convince Earth governments to stop putting nuclear weapons into orbit.
She later traveled with Seven and Roberta Lincoln to the 23rd century to keep a rogue Ageis agent from assassinating Captain Spock in 2293. Afterwards she returned with Seven and Lincoln to the 20th century.
Trivia[]
- While The Rise and Fall of Khan Noonien Singh, Volume 2 had Isis dying, subsequent works showed Seven traveling with another black cat named Isis. It was unclear if Isis had been resurrected, someone else took her place, or if Isis was from a different time period. However most Star Trek books are non-canon.
- For many years people believed that Victoria Vetri had portrayed the human form of Isis, however Vetri denied playing the role. A production call sheet was later found that confirmed Isis was portrayed by Tatro.
