Since people are posting theories, I have one of my own.
Gwyn was under the assumption Starfleet couldn't accept Dal. If that was the case, I suspect she was planning on asking Dal if he would go with her to Solum.
Because "everyone deserves a place they belong", and they belong together. Who better to introduce her people to the Federation, than someone who is a good combo of several Federation worlds and has the heart of Starfleet?
(And the idea of a little time with him away from the others was maybe an attractive bonus?)
She knew she needed to go, but didn't want anything stopping him from trying for his dream, which is why she kept her mission to Solum a secret.
But look how sad she was to realize she'd have to go alone. Still breaks my heart for her.
With everything going on for Season 2, I can't wait to see how they all find each other again.

30 Days of Prodigy, Day 26 - Hope
Gwyndala eased into the command chair of her ship and smiled. It may have been just a little ship, but it was hers. She'd never had anything before that was just hers, and she planned to enjoy it.
Dal sidled up next to her, standing awkwardly next to the chair that was usually his... but he would have to get used to not being in the captain's chair if he was going to ride with Admiral Janeway, Gwyn thought to herself smugly.
“So...” Dal began, trying (and failing) to lean suavely on the armrest of Gwyn's chair, “You get to name it whatever you want?”
Gwyn smirked at him and replied “Well it is my ship. Who else would name it?” Dal looked a little pathetic so she added, “any suggestions?”
Dal jumped up from his precarious perch on the arm rest and began pacing excitedly around the small bridge. His eyes lit up which made Gwyn's smirk soften to a smile. He had absolutely no chill and she kind of loved that about him..
“I've got it!” Dal shouted, far too loudly for the small space they were in, ”You should call it the USS Cat Boots!“
Gwyn rolled her eyes. ”Civilian transport names don't start with U.“
”OK, just the SS Cat Boots then!“ Dal suggested, not to be deterred.
”I was thinking about something a little more... serious. I am going to try to save an entire planet, after all. I can't just show up with a ship named after an inside joke.“
Dal waved his hands in surrender. ”OK OK! I get the picture.” He began pacing again, and showily rubbing his chin. ”Hmm... Something serious... That's it! The USS Something Serious!“ Gwyn shot him a look of irritation which he tried to placate. ”Oh, sorry, just the SS “Something Serious”“
Gwyn breathed out a heavy, annoyed sigh. ”If you're just gonna make jokes, then you can go. I'll figure it out on my own.” She turned her face away from him to hide the tears that threatened to spill out. Didn't he understand how important this was to her?
Dal came up behind her and tentatively rested a hand on her shoulder but Gwyn still refused to face him.
“Hey, I.... I'm sorry. I'm just... gonna miss you,” he admitted. “And if we can't come up with a name for the ship, maybe you won't have to go.”
Gwyn did turn to look at him then, and when she did, she found that his eyes were also shining with unshed tears. She took his hand and held it to her heart. “Dal... I'm going to miss you too. But we'll see each other again. We have to. We've made it this far, haven't we?”
Dal nodded bravely. “I sure hope so…” He suddenly lit up like a light bulb and Gwyn could tell he finally had a good one. ��Hey, that's a good name! Hope!”
It was a good one. Gwyn smiled slyly at him. “The USS Hope, huh? I like it.”
Dal rolled his eyes and gave her a playful shove on the shoulder with his free hand. “No. It's a civilian transport, remember?”
Gwyn smiled at him brightly. “The SS Hope it is.”

"She's probably Queen of Solum by now!"
Ah, so cute! He thinks Gwyn is SO amazing, that they'd just take one look at her, and immediately give her the whole planet to rule over. Makes perfect sense to him.
But hey, I would too, so... 😆
And don't let him fool you. He misses her like crazy, just hiding it.

I've been absolutely swamped at work lately so I haven't had as much time to make fanart as I've wanted, but I think this portrait set turned out nicely. Cat-Boots!

Won’t someone think of the children?! A Gwyndala Appreciation Post
By Ames
Okay, I meant to only do a Rok-Tahk appreciation post because a) she’s the best and b) who has the time to write all these blogposts? But I just can’t help myself. The community’s efforts to #SaveStarTrekProdigy have motivated me to keep the posts going, so here’s some more love for Star Trek: Prodigy. These installments probably won’t be as intense as the Rok post, but check out what makes Gwyndala such a great character.
[images © CBS/Paramount… I guess? For now? Yikes.]
Gwyn has parent baggage
As we mentioned back in our parents of Trek blogpost, a lot of characters get the backstory of having terrible or absent parents that forms the foundation of their personality. And The Diviner does just that for his progeny Gwydala. His shitty parenting forms so much of her character’s journey. She’s started off with so much pressure on her shoulders to complete his life’s work even though she doesn’t even know what that is yet. Like those put on Wesley by The Traveler in “Where No One Has Gone Before,” the expectations are really hard to live up to, especially when Gwyn learns they are at odds with being the kind of person she naturally wants to be. Writers out there take note: Now that’s some good inner conflict!
Gwyn is Vau N’Akat
I’m a sucker for some good time travel stories, and the whole backstory of Gwyn’s race the Vau N’Akat is sure to win someone like me over. I’ll be honest, this plotline is a little complicated for a kid’s show, but once you wrap your mind around it, it’s absolutely fascinating. The Federation somehow botched first contact on the planet Solum in the near future, and the Vau N’Akat nearly destroyed themselves in a civil war. It’s really a refreshing twist to see the Federation blow something this badly, and for a society to not prance willingly into joining up. Time passes, and Chakotay stumbles through a wormhole in the Protostar fifty years into a future in which this species has nearly destroyed itself, so they all go back in time to try to destroy the Federation. The season one finale of Prodigy sets it up for season two to put even more responsibility on Gwyn to try to save her people… Fingers crossed that we get to see it.
Gwyn starts off on the wrong side
For the first few episodes of the season, Gwyn is at odds with the rest of the Protostar crew. The conflict within her is between doing what she perceives to be right and what would make her father proud of her, and those two things are rarely the same. It takes until “Terror Firma” for Gwyn to see that her father has never had her interests in mind, and then she’s able to cross to the good side. Starting a character off with an entirely different goal than the other characters (they all want to leave Tars Lamora and she wants to return to The Diviner) is Storytelling 101. It gives the characters natural tension and an opportunity to either come together or split apart. Happily for us, Gwyn proves to be at her best when she is with her crewmates.
Gwyn makes up for her years of silence
There’s an excellent scene in “Starstruck” in which Rok tells off Gwyn for standing by for so long while the prisoners on Tars Lamora were treated horribly. And Gwyn really struggles with this! She’d been stuck under her father’s boot for so long, unable to act according to her own wishes. Even when she tries to stand up for the young pink cat thing in “Lost and Found,” you know it’s not going to go anywhere. I complained in my Children in Star Trek post that kid characters too often are props for the episode to make a point, and Gwyn fights against that plot device to become her own character. She finds her voice (a really appropriate character journey for a natural linguist like Gwyn) when she finally speaks up for the unwanted of the prison planet and ultimately helps to free them. Now that’s a person I want to be in catboots with!
We love you, Gwyndala! We love the other crew members of the Protostar too! We love Star Trek: Prodigy! Check out the other character appreciation posts for Rok-Tahk, Dal R’El, Jankom Pog, and Zero while you’re here. I know I can speak for not only the other hosts here at A Star to Steer Hey By but for myriad other fans when I seriously hope someone picks up this wonder of a show. We’re really looking forward to seeing more from these amazing child characters, and we’re seriously wishing we get that opportunity. #SaveStarTrekProdigy

And can't wait for them to reunite too in S2 of Star Trek: Prodigy!!
They are so cute, Together, that we are in Catboots!!
