Drake (Admiral)
Vice Admiral Drake was a Human female Starfleet flag officer in the mid-23rd century.
In 2257, Drake was consulted over holographic channels by Admiral Katrina Cornwell after she, Ambassador Sarek, and Emperor Philippa Georgiou devised a plan to have the USS Discovery attack Qo'noS in an attempt to end the Klingon War. Drake at first sided with Vice Admiral Shukar in favor of having Discovery rejoin the remainder of the fleet and defend Earth. However, the plan to attack the Klingon homeworld was ultimately green-lit. (DIS: "The War Without, The War Within")
Vice Admiral Drake was portrayed by actress Melanie Nicholls-King. Her name is from the end credits of "The War Without, The War Within"
Drake's rank is assumed based on her insignia badge.
