Star Trek Discovery Trivia
Red Alert - Spoilers Ahead!
The long-awaited Star Trek Discovery series launched in 2017, over a decade since the last Star Trek series aired on television (Star Trek Enterprise). The show takes place years before Star Trek TOS (The Original Series) and follows the journey of Michael Burnham, a human raised on Vulcan by Sarek and his wife Amanda.
As season one kicks off, we see the formation of a new Klingon empire and ultimately war with The United Federation of Planets. Burnham is court-martialed after the events in the first few episodes but returns to space onboard Discovery under the direction of the mysterious Captain Lorca. We’re introduced to spore drive technology and even holographic communications. Even Harry Mudd makes an appearance midway through the season. There are also several awesome Mirror Universe episodes where we uncover the real identity of Lorca, along with a reappearance of Philippa Georgiou (Michelle Yeoh). The season wraps with Discovery saving the day and Michael Burnham being reinstated in Starfleet.
Now, back to more production info.
The USS Discovery’s ship design is unique to say the least. Most Star Trek fans love it or hate it. With a flattened secondary hull, it’s somewhat of a departure from traditional Trek designs. Executive Producer Bryan Fuller explained he wanted "something distinct about what our Star Trek was going to look like". Ultimately, they based Discovery’s designs from unused ship sketches by Ralph McQuarrie from Star Trek TOS.
