Star Trek II : The Wrath of Khan introduced Dr. Carol Marcus as a go scientist in the United Federation of Planets .

Marcus was super thinking and orchestrate Project Genesis , which would have allowed uninhabitable satellite to be terraformed quickly . The project at last failed and was abandoned after theGenesis gadget was stolen by Khan Noonien Singh(Ricardo Montalban ) and release into a weapon of mass death .
Though little is cognise about James and Carol ’s relationship , they became involved sometime in the late 2250s or early 2260s . Considering this is around the same time in whichStrange New Worldstakes spot , it ’s entirely plausible that Carol Marcus could make an appearance .

Spock ’s parent debut all the mode back in 1967 onStar Trek : The Original Series , and Spock ’s female parent Amanda ( Mia Kirshner ) has appeared inStrange New Worlds .
