Star Trek: Voyager saw many a popular recurring character. There's Lon Suder (Brad Dourif) the Betazoid who simply loved the thrill of the kill. Naomi Wildman was daughter of Ensign Wildman - the first birth aboard the Federation Starship making its way home from the Delta Quadrant. Of all the memorable supporting cast, Seska, played by actress Martha Hackett, delighted as one of the most devious and deadly of them all.
Hackett was no stranger to the Trek universe - having auditioned for the role of Jadzia Dax and losing out to Terry Farrell. Before deceiving Voyager's crew as a Bajoran Maquis member who's really a Cardassian in disguise, Hackett played a Romulan in the Deep Space Nine episode, The Search.
Though a popular character, Seska eventually met her end, but like the best sci-fi and Trek in particular, she managed to come back to cause trouble. How many of us can say we complete unfinished business in our life - without actually doing it ourselves? Through the miracle of holodeck tech, Seska returns to wreck havoc and target Tuvok - played by Tim Russ.

Voyager Sexy Spotlight - Seska - Martha Hackett
Seska is the girl you definitely don't want to take home to Mother. On the other hand, if you want a conniving, double dealing and basically psychopathic personality to join the family, perhaps Mom would take a real shine to her. On Star Trek: Voyager, actress Martha Hackett brought to life a Bajoran who was really a Cardassian.
Seska, among many other interesting things, was a spy - surgically altered to appear a Bajoran. She'd romance Chakotay (Robert Beltran), then throw the love affair back in his face by carrying on with a Kazon heavy. The ultimate betrayal would be her pretending to have Chakotay's baby, when in reality, it was the son of the Kazon Culluh.
