Star Trek Universe: 5" Commander Saru Discovery Action Figure with Accessories

In 2063, Earth made its first contact with an alien species, launching the planet and its inhabitants onto an interstellar stage. In the next century, United Earth established a space exploration and defense service called Starfleet and co-founded The United Federation of Planets, a benevolent organization of hundreds of worlds. The chronicles of Starfleet are collectively known as the Star Trek Universe. Commander Saru is a Kelpien, an alien prey species that lives in a perpetual state of fear and has biologically fostered the ability to sense threats. This ability is manifested in their threat ganglia, which pop up by their ears when a Kelpien perceives danger. Saru has had a turbulent and competitive relationship with Michael Burnham, but they eventually become good colleagues and friends.
