Is Nichols Star Trek's Janice Rand?

Another Star Trek character being resurrected for J.J. Abrams Star Trek prequel/reboot is Janice Rand and The Toronto Sun has an article talking with actress Rachel Nichols about her new movie P2 and her role in the newest Star Trek flick.

(N)ext Christmas Nichols will board the starship Enterprise in J.J. Abrams' Star Trek reboot, which chronicles the early adventures of a young Capt. Kirk and Mr. Spock. News broke last week that Nichols was joining the cast of the uber-secretive project.

"I'm very restricted on what I'm allowed to say," she says. "But yes, there's a good chance you'll see my shining face in the new Star Trek ... My mom even e-mailed me about it because she saw it (online) and I hadn't told her yet. There's a lot of buzz about it, but honestly, I don't even know the name of my character."

The Abrams connection -- Nichols worked with him on Alias -- puts her in the same company as Garner and Keri Russell, both of whom the Lost creator has cast in multiple productions.

"J.J.'s one of the most generous people I've ever met ... He's very, very loyal."

Is she Yeoman Janice Rand?  Who the hell is left to cast!??!?!  Nichols has me sold for the role, especially watching her running around in those P2 commercials...she's haaaawt.
