Biography

23rd century

24th century Prime universe

During her time in the 24th century, Georgiou learned that San was actually still alive and after the Godsend weapon, planning to use it to destabilize the United Federation of Planets and lead an invasion of the prime universe. Georgiou worked with Section 31 to stop her old friend, but was unable to talk him down. During a fight between the two, San took a fatal hit to the side of the neck from his own sword when Georgiou managed to knock the blade away from herself, accidentally hitting San in the process. In San's final moments, the two reconciled before San died in a heartbroken Georgiou's arms. (Star Trek: Section 31)
