Smilies Legend
[i]Announced at the TCA today, the main character of Discovery will be a woman and — in an unprecedented move for the franchise — not the captain of the U.S.S. Discovery. "We've seen six characters from the captain's point of view," Fuller noted. He added that putting a different character at the center will give the story a richer context. ...the new series will be set in the Prime Universe (as opposed to the Kelvin Timeline used in the J.J. Abrams-produced films) and will take place about 10 years before Captain Kirk's five-year mission. In other words, the series will act as a bridge between the first two series in the timeline, about a century after "Star Trek: Enterprise" (which was a prequel) and a decade before "The Original Series." Fuller said they did this in part so they could utilize the iconography of the original ships and uniforms. In terms of plot plots, he noted, "there's an incident, an event, in the history of Starfleet that has been talked about [in previous Star Trek series] but never fully explored." He didn't elaborate, but added that digging into the incident was "tantalizing." When asked if the incident involved Section 31, he said no, "but that's not to say that might not have some marble through the meat of our season."[/i]
