In her adventures, she would explore new worlds and fly around in her own personalized version of the USS Enterprise. (DSC - Adventures in the 32nd Century comic: "Issue 3")

By the time she was 12, she had earned her pilot's license. (DSC episode: "New Eden")

By 2255, Ensign Detmer served as the helmsman of the USS Shenzhou under the command of Captain Philippa Georgiou. (DSC novel: Desperate Hours)

K. Detmer — Detmer encourages Michael Burnham when her former crewmate arrives to the USS *Discovery*.

In the wake of the battle, she was promoted to full lieutenant, and despite the serious injuries that she suffered on her face, she was assigned to the USS Discovery under the command of Captain Gabriel Lorca. There, she was reunited with her former crewmate Michael Burnham, who had been first officer onboard the Shenzhou before she mutinied against Captain Georgiou during the Battle of the Binary Stars. Though their initial encounter was awkward, with Detmer refraining from speaking to the disgraced officer, the women were soon on good terms with one another. (DSC episode: "Context Is for Kings") At one point, Detmer informed Burnham that another of their former shipmates, Kamran Gant, had also survived the war between the United Federation and the Klingons, though neither of them was aware that he had transferred to enlist with Section 31.
