We learneda bunch of new informationaboutStar Trek: Discoveryvia the Television Critics Association press tour on the newStar Trekshow.
One of the most intriguing nuggets?
Lets speculate, shall we?
What is isnt about.
Before we dive into what the first season ofStar Trek: Discoverycouldbe about, lets confirm what itisntabout.
Fuller said the event in question is not the Romulan war, which I am kind of sad about.
Fuller further ruled out the Federations Section 31 black ops division as the focus of the new series.

What is could be about.
Fuller has said that it will bridge the gap betweenStar Trek:EnterpriseandThe Original Series.
Robert and Sarah were the first commander and first chief medical officer, respectively, of the U.S.S.
Enterprise when it launched on its first five-year mission in 2245.
The new series seems to be set after the Aprils five-year mission on the Enterprise.
Could Robert and/or Sarah be members of the crew of the Discovery post-Enterprise?
Or could they, perhaps, be mentor-types for some of the characters in question?
It has Captain Christopher Pike in charge of the Enterprise, rather than Captain James Kirk.
And though Spock was present, his character was less reserved than he would become in the canon series.
Does this exclude Pike and other elements of The Cage/The Menagerie?
Well have to wait and see…
The Treaty of Armens.
Are you ready for some angsty treaty negotiation?
Memory Alpha citesthe Treaty of Armensas the hottest event of 2255.
I dont want to spoil the episode, but things got messy.
Those Sheliak donotmess around.
Something else altogether.
More than anything else,thatkind of canon matters…
