Star Trek: Discovery is part of the Star Trek franchise and takes place ten years before the original series. The series follows the crew of the U.S.S. Discovery with identification number NCC-1031. Contrary to the previous series, the lead character is no longer a captain but a female lieutenant commander. Star Trek: Discovery isn't the only new series that is part of the franchise. We already have Star Trek: Picard, and two more new series were announced at the Comic-Conx-on:Home earlier this year.
