Their mission is new. Their legacy is not.From the pen of fan-favorite writer Christopher Cantwell (“Star Trek: Defiant,” “Star Trek: Red Shirts”) and the brush of psychedelic standout Dennis Menheere (“Etheres,” and “Little Nightmares”) comes the launch of an all-new flagship… and this time, we’re busting out of the four quadrants.

The Enterprise-G is on a desperate mission beyond the known galaxy to relocate the dying Revlavan people when its crew finds a perfect new home in a region of unknown space called the Epsilon Corridor. There three pristine Class-M worlds — the Trinity — await the refugees. No signs of civilization. No detectable threats. A colonist’s dream. But the dream fractures fast.

When Captain Seven of Nine and her divided, fast-tracked crew begin exploring the Trinity, they uncover disturbing contradictions: vanished structures, inexplicable artifacts, time skips, and evidence of a presence Starfleet’s century-old probes never detected. Each world houses a different ecosystem, different physics problems, and different secrets — as if they’ve been curated… or quarantined. But from who? Or what?

The first arc of Star Trek delivers a prestige, mystery-driven, high-stakes psychological thriller of an opening salvo — new worlds, new species, new existential threats — anchored by Seven, Jack, and Crash La Forge fighting to keep the mission together as the Galaxy’s oldest ghosts awaken.
