Saavik (AMU)

In the alternate mirror universe, Saavik was a female Vulcan who served in the Terran Imperial Starfleet in the late 23rd century.

By 2277, Ensign Saavik had been assigned to the ISS Enterprise, under the command of Admiral Spock, as alpha shift flight controller after graduating from Starfleet Academy. Shortly after she formed part of the landing party, alongside Lieutenants Xon, Solok and Stang, that accompanied Admiral Spock and Commander Willard Decker to the surface of Deneva for a Starfleet Command meeting.

Unfortunately, this was a set-up by Grand Admiral Matthew Decker to assassinate Spock. Fortunately, Spock and his Vulcan cohorts were aware of the ambush and were able to subdue their would-be assassins. Realizing Willard Decker's part in the deception, Saavik and her fellow Vulcan's stabbed Decker on Spock's order.

Shortly after Spock's successful assassination of Matt Decker and rise to Grand Admiral of the Imperial Starfleet, Empress Hoshi Sato III ordered the Enterprise to proceed to Earth so she could officially endorse his promotion.

Sensing that this was merely a prelude to his assassination, Spock took Saavik in his confidence and told her about the Tantalus field device that had helped him in his rise to prominence. Although he was taking a risk, Spock told Saavik to use the device to kill Empress Sato and her Imperial guards should they make a move against him.

Saavik found that she couldn't support Spock's illogical mission to stage a coup and used the Tantalus field to kill Spock. Unbeknown to Saavik, Spock's wife, Marlena Moreau, was watching from the shadows and shot Saavik dead with her phaser though her intervention was to late to save her husband.
