There's never been a lead Star Trek character like Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green). Infamously known as Starfleet's first mutineer, Burnham is a human who was raised on Vulcan by Ambassador Sarek (James Frain), the father of Spock. When she was rejected by the Vulcan Expeditionary Groupbecause of her humanity, Sarek sent Burnham to Starfleet...
The father of Spock (Leonard Nimoy) and the husband of the human Amanda Grayson (Mia Kirshner), Ambassador Sarek's fondness for humans has made him a target of Vulcan logic extremists. Sarek nearly died until he was rescued by Burnham and a team from the Discovery. This was thanks to a special bond between Sarek and Burnham: when she was a child, S...
The warm-hearted and courageous Captain Phillipa Georgiou mentored Michael Burnham for seven years, grooming her to one day command a ship of her own. Burnham's mutiny was her attempt to save the life of everyone aboard the Shenzhou when she realized the Klingons were feigning peaceful overtures but actually looking to start a war. Despite Burnham ...
The Klingons have been the most controversial aspect of Discovery. The fearsome warrior race has been radically re-imagined to bear little resemblance to the Klingons fans know and love. In Discovery, the Klingons were a divided empire until T'Kuvma, styling himself as successor to the Klingon messiah Kahless the Unforgettable, sought to unify the ...
The U.S.S. Discovery (NCC-1031) didn't appear until the third episode but has since become the most important starship in Starfleet. Formerly a science vessel, the Discovery was re-commissioned as a warship, which doesn't sit well with its crew of starry-eyed explorers. Nevertheless, the Discovery is now Starfleet's greatest weapon against the Klin...
As Lorca described Discovery's spore displacement drive, they're "inventing a new way to fly." Invented by Lieutenant Paul Stamets (Anthony Rapp), the spore displacement drive allows the Discovery to travel in the mycelial network, a superhighway that connects the entire universe. When the spore drive is functioning properly, Discovery enters 'Blac...
By fusing the Tardigrade's DNA with his own (a eugenics experiment which is illegal in the Federation), Stamets was able to interface with the mycelial network in the alien's place and successfully serve as the Discovery's new navigator. There were side effects, however. Stamets was rude, ill-tempered and single-minded in his pursuit of science. Af...
In Discovery's fifth episode, Captain Lorca was captured and imprisoned in a Klingon Bird of Prey. His cell mates were the intergalactic criminal Harcourt Fenton Mudd (Rainn Wilson) and Lieutenant Ash Tyler (Shazad Latif). Formerly of the U.S.S. Yaeger, Tyler had been a P.O.W. for seven months after the Battle of the Binary Stars. He claims he only...
A popular villain from Star Trek: The Original Series, Discovery re-imagined this younger version of Harry Mudd played by Rainn Wilson (The Office) as a more dangerous scoundrel. Mudd harbors a special hatred of Captain Lorca for leaving him behind when he escaped from the Klingon prison ship. Soon, Mudd made a bargain with the Klingons to steal th...
The Discovery's ability to sneak attack the Klingons thanks to its spore drive turned the tide of the war to Starfleet's favor, but the Klingons' proliferation of cloaking technology swung the pendulum back. Cloaked Klingon ships began to lay waste to Starfleet's ships, so the Discovery was sent on a secret mission to the planet Pahvo. On Pahvo, ev...
