As someone who has been watching aStar Trekshow my entire life, who restarts as soon as I finish like so many others I know, to be a small part of that giant constellation is the fulfillment of a hope that I felt the first time I ever heard the words' Space, the Final Frontier.' I hope you guys like what we made for you. As a die hard Trekker I think you’ll love it.
Kazinsky’s role has remained a secret, leading some to speculate that he could be amember of the Borg Collective. However, in the trailer, he wears a bulky exo-suit and appears to be a humanoid wearing some type of combat armor. His full face is exposed, and his appearance is noticeably different from a Borg drone with extensive cybernetic implants and machinery integrated into its body. Borgs also have mechanical and electronic components protruding from their bodies, such as tubes, wires, metallic plates, or life-support systems, and glowing red or green lights implanted on their heads or eyes, and all of these are absent in Kazinsky’s costume. Most of all, his facial expressions were evident during his action scenes. But it’s undeniable that Kazinsky somehow looked like a cyborg in a powerful armor suit. So, fans should wait for additional details to learn more about Kazinsky’s role.
