There's been speculation over whether he's a Vulcan or a Romulan, but I think this description points to him being a Vulcan who rejects Surak's teachings.

This might be the first confirmation that she is, in fact, Deltan. Seems like an asset for spy shit.

"Nightclub owner" is pretty far from where I expected her to land after "Terra Firma." It's kind of funny that they describe her as "unable to return to the Terran Empire," when that is something she decidely did not want to do by the end.
Why do they have basic attributes of fictional characters? Tough to say...
Precision is important.
What did everyone think? I slipped into a fugue state when I saw actual Gallamites.
Aside from the obvious space angle, it seems more like a "Suicide Squad" vibe to me, which makes a little more sense, I think.
Their marketing tone is not what I expected at all, but I'm still interested in what the heck this thing will be.
I just want a sense of what the actual story is.
I just want to see Janeway's plan. She has no plan!
When it comes to the overlapping shows, it might be better to frame things around events rather than series. Like, Dominion War, Romulan Evacuation, etc. But then, there are still some gaps in there, or unrelated adventures that aren't really defined by those major events.
That's one way to spin it, but another is that they're elevating a particular Orion house back into prominence immediately after they were stripped of their wealth by their government, which should most certainly be considered interfering with internal affairs, no?
Nah, the PD also prevents Starfleet from, say, rigging a Romulan election.
That's because the so-called "fixed election date" leglisation only circumvents the 5-year limit laid out in the consitution. The federal and provincial Crown representatives retain the ability to call a general election - I don't think that can be changed without an amendment to the constitution, which ain't gonna happen.
It's always been smoke and mirrors.
I dunno, from what we've seen on DS9 and Enterprise, Section 31 is willing to recruit operatives to fulfil their goals - we saw that in Malcom Reed and Bashir as Starfleet personnel, but also Koval, who was a Romulan agent.
A S31 agent like Alok Sahar, who operates outside the Federation and has the authority to recruit people to achieve the ogranization's goals, makes a kind of sense to me. A Deltan and a Chameloid both make sense from a spycraft perspective.
If anything, this iteration of S31 could show a progression from the out-in-the-open, "special forces" iteration of the group that we saw in Discovery, to the complete disavowal of DS9.
