Thanks to the upcoming Star Trek: Section 31 film, Star Trek now has the opportunity to reveal more about one missing era of the USS Enterprise. The Enterprise has been one of Starfleet's most famous ships since Captain Jonathan Archer (Scott Bakula) set out on the Enterprise Nx-01 in 2151, as part of humanity's first interstellar mission of exploration. Since then, several Federation starships have carried the name Enterprise, including the vessels of Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner) and Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart).

While the voyages of Kirk's Enterprise and Picard's Enterprise-d are well documented, there are a few holes throughout the history of ships named Enterprise. After Kirk's original ship was destroyed in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, he took over command of the Enterprise-a for the rest of the Star Trek films. The Enterprise-b made an appearance at the beginning of Star Trek Generations, but...

Star Trek: The Next Generation season 3, episode 15, "Yesterday's Enterprise" introduced an alternate universe version of the USS Enterprise-d, which has some distinct differences from its Prime Universe counterpart. "Yesterday's Enterprise" remains one of Tng's finest hours, and is often remembered as the episode that brought back Denise Crosby's Tasha Yar only to kill her off again. In one of Tng's best cold opens, the battle-damaged Enterprise-c emerges from a tear in spacetime, causing everything on the Enterprise-d to shift. Suddenly, the Federation is at war with the Klingons and the Enterprise-d is the first Galaxy-Class warship.

Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) remains in command of the Enterprise, but he appears exhausted and unusually weary about the Enterprise-c. An away team finds the injured Captain Rachel Garrett (Tricia O'Neil) on the bridge of the Enterprise-c, and she quickly realizes that something is amiss. Picard reveals that Garrett and her ship...

Star Trek: The Next Generation season 3, episode 15, "Yesterday's Enterprise" remains one of the series' most highly acclaimed episodes, but there are some fascinating things many viewers may not know about this iconic story. "Yesterday's Enterprise" begins like any other episode of Tng, with the USS Enterprise-d encountering a seemingly inexplicable galactic phenomenon. Suddenly, the battle-damaged USS Enterprise-c emerges from a wormhole, and everything on the Enterprise-d changes. Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) now sits on a darkly lit bridge and Lt. Tasha Yar (Denise Crosby) stands at the tactical station.

Captain Picard then meets the injured Captain Rachel Garrett (Tricia O'Neil) of the USS Enterprise-c, informing her that she and her ship have journeyed 22 years into the future. The United Federation of Planets is now at war with the Klingons a conflict even Captain Picard fears they will soon lose which forces Garrett to make an impossible decision. With compelling...

Rachel Garrett (Kacey Rohl) appears in Star Trek: Section 31, and I hope her life before Star Trek: The Next Generation keeps being explored. Starring Academy Award winner Michelle Yeoh as Emperor Georgiou, Section 31 will take place during Star Trek's "lost era" of the early 24th century. Although the film's storyline remains unknown, it appears Georgiou will be recruiting team members for a top-secret Section 31 mission. Based on the teaser, Section 31 looks unlike any Trek that has been done before, and I'm excited to see where the story goes.

Star Trek: Section 31's new cast looks great. Michelle Yeoh is always phenomenal, of course, but Kacey Rohl's Rachel Garrett is especially interesting. Originally played by Tricia O'Neill, Captain Garrett was introduced in Star Trek: The Next Generation season 3, episode 15, "Yesterday's Enterprise," as the Captain of the USS Enterprise-c. Although Garrett...

Michelle Yeoh returns as Emperor Philippa Georgiou in Star Trek: Section 31, exploring a new era of the Star Trek universe. Humberly Gonzalez portrays a Deltan character, introducing this classic alien race to a new generation of Star Trek fans. Sam Richardson takes on the role of a Chameloid, reviving a forgotten alien changeling species from Star Trek VI.

An exciting aspect of Star Trek: Section 31 is how Paramount+'s first Star Trek streaming movie brings back two largely forgotten classic aliens. Directed by Olatunde Osunsanmi and written by Craig Sweeny, Star Trek: Section 31 marks the return of Michelle Yeoh as Emperor Philippa Georgiou. As Yeoh reprises her iconic antiheroine from Star Trek: Discovery, Georgiou is joined by a new cast of characters whose names are yet unknown. However, a couple of Section 31's characters' species have been revealed, and they are updating aliens Star Trek hasn't used in years.

In the "Star Trek: The Next Generation" episode "Yesterday's Enterprise", the Enterprise-d is flying merrily through space when it encounters a colossal negative space-wedgie in its path. They crew finds it is a portal through time, leading to a point in history 22 years in the past. A ship flies out of the portal. It's the Enterprise-c, commanded by the stalwart Rachel Garrett (Tricia O'Neill).

When it does, however, everything about the Enterprise-d's timeline shimmers and shifts. All of a sudden, the Enterprise-d is a combat ship. The crew all become weapons-toting soldiers, now embroiled in a year-long war. It seems that the Enterprise-c exited its own timeline at a crucial point in galactic history, when it was facing a losing battle at the hands of the Romulans. When it vanished into the future, the battle never ended, and a full-scale war broke out. 22 years later, the Enterprise-d is still fighting the same war.

Actor Rob Kazinsky debunks fan theory that he's a Borg in Star Trek: Section 31 teaser trailer. Michelle Yeoh headlines a diverse cast in Paramount+'s first Star Trek streaming movie, with Sam Richardson playing a Chameloid and Kacey Rohl as Rachel Garrett. Section 31 introduces a new storyline with unknown characters, led by Emperor Philippa Georgiou played by Yeoh.

Star Trek: Section 31 released its audacious first teaser trailer at San Diego Comic-Con 2024, and one of the Section 31 cast members debunks a fan theory that he's playing a Borg. Headlined by Academy Award-winner Michelle Yeoh, Star Trek: Section 31 is the first Star Trek movie made for streaming on Paramount+. Yeoh's Emperor Philippa Georgiou is joined by an eclectic cast playing still-unknown characters. However, Sam Richardson revealed he's playing a Chameloid, and Kacey Rohl portrays the younger Rachel Garrett from Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Approximately 500 hundred years ago, we learned that Michelle Yeoh was in talks to star in a spin-off series focused on her character from  "Star Trek: Discovery." In January 2019 (approximately 499 years ago), "Star Trek: Section 31" was officially announced as an in-development project for CBS All Access. Since then, CBS All Access has died of old age and been resurrected as Paramount+, and the "Section 31" TV series has become a Paramount+ original movie instead. Now, the first teaser trailer for "Star Trek: Section 31" is finally here.

The original Captain Philippa Georgiou was killed off in the second episode of "Discovery," but Yeoh returned as a Mirror Universe version of the character: the sharply-dressed, gleefully wicked Emperor Philippa Georgiou. This evil Georgiou tagged along when the Discovery crew returned to their original universe, where her lack of morals made her a perfect fit for Starfleet Intelligence's black ops unit, Section 31. The...

The surprises keep coming at Paramount‘s Star Trek Universe as the time-honored sci-fi franchise takes San Diego Comic-Con’s Hall H by storm! In addition to multiple announcements for Star Trek: Brave New Worlds, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, and Star Trek: Below Decks, a Star Trek: Section 31 teaser trailer is here to inspire Trekkies to “get in formation” as Michelle Yeoh does her best to come off as a “bad bitch” of the cosmos.

The project stars Michelle Yeoh as Emperor Philippa Georgiou, who made her Star Trek debut in the first season of Star Trek: Discovery. Hailing from the Mirror Universe, Yeoh’s commanding character is an agent of the Federation spy group Section 31. Trekkies have waited years for Emperor Philippa Georgiou to return to the beloved sci-fi soap opera, and it’s finally happening! In Star Trek: Section 31, Emperor Philippa Georgiou must protect the United...

The Star Trek: Section 31 teaser trailer at Comic-Con 2024 confirms a 2025 release date, and spotlights Philippa Georgiou-led Starfleet spy team. Michelle Yeoh headlines as Philippa Georgiou in a Paramount+ Star Trek movie set in the "lost era" between Star Trek VI and The Next Generation. The teaser reveals an intriguing cast of characters, including Omari Hardwick, Rob Kazinsky, Humberly Gonzlez, and Kacey Rohl as Captain Rachel Garrett.

The teaser trailer for Star Trek: Section 31 is screened at San Diego Comic-Con 2024, confirming a 2025 release date and providing the first proper look at the Starfleet spy team put together by Michelle Yeoh's Philippa Georgiou. Star Trek's first streaming-exclusive movie puts Starfleet's controversial covert operatives front and center, as Philippa Georgiou rejoins Section 31 for the first time since Star Trek: Discovery season 2. Originally starting life as a Discovery spinoff series, the Section 31 movie will depict Georgiou atoning for her sins while protecting the galaxy.

Star Trek: Section 31 with Sam Richardson offers a different take on the franchise. Richardson is a lifelong Star Trek fan. Academy Award-winner Michelle Yeoh leads the cast in Paramount+'s first Star Trek streaming movie.

Star Trek: Section 31 actor Sam Richardson teases how Star Trek's first streaming movie is "a different look" at the venerable franchise. Richardson plays an unknown role in Star Trek: Section 31, which is led by Academy Award-winner Michelle Yeoh reprising her iconic role as Emperor Philippa Georgiou from Star Trek: Discovery. Little is known about Star Trek: Section 31, but it presumably involves time travel and the film appears to be set in Star Trek's 'lost era' of the early 24th century.

Entertainment Tonight interviewed Sam Richardson on the red carpet of Prime Video's Sausage Party: Foodtopia. Richardson revealed he is a lifelong Star Trek fan who grew up watching Star Trek: The Next Generation,...

Emperor Georgiou may be recruiting Star Trek legacy characters into Section 31 to bring the organization down from the inside or create her own version. Star Trek: Section 31 aims to bridge the agency seen in Discovery with the secretive version introduced in Deep Space Nine, wiping its existence from records. Introducing popular legacy characters like Joseph Sisko into Section 31 could offer intriguing new layers to familiar ancillary characters.

I have a theory about Star Trek: Section 31, and what Michelle Yeoh's Emperor Philippa Georgiou is doing in Star Trek's first streaming movie. Section 31 is Academy Award-winner Michelle Yeoh's long-awaited return to Star Trek. Georgiou was written out of Star Trek: Discovery season 3 so that she could topline a Section 31 spinoff, which was originally to be an ongoing series before it was refashioned into the first Star Trek movie made for streaming on Paramount+. But what is Georgiou up...

Tricia O'Neill played multiple Star Trek characters, including the memorable Captain Rachel Garrett in Tng. She auditioned for other Tng roles before landing the captain role, showcasing her dedication to appearing in Star Trek. O'Neill also portrayed a Klingon scientist in Tng and a Cardassian spy in DS9, highlighting her versatility.

Best known for playing Captain Rachel Garrett in Star Trek: The Next Generation, Tricia O'Neill has actually played three characters in the Star Trek franchise. An actress with a prolific career as a stage performer and TV guest star, Tricia O'Neill has appeared in hit 1980s TV shows like Dynasty, Murder, She Wrote, and The A-Team. When O'Neill later appeared in two episodes of Tng, she didn't have any scenes with her former A-Team co-star Dwight Schultz as Lt. Reginald Barclay. However, Tricia O'Neill did share scenes with her The Fall Guy co-star, Marc Alaimo, in her one-and-only appearance...

Star Trek movies are making a comeback, but release dates for upcoming theatrical or streaming releases are still unknown. Star Trek: Section 31 is the first Star Trek movie for streaming on Paramount+, starring Michelle Yeoh as antiheroine Emperor Georgiou. The next Star Trek movie in theaters will be an Untitled Star Trek Origin movie directed by Toby Haynes, exploring the origin of Starfleet.

Star Trek movies are finally coming back, but there are no release dates yet announced for Star Trek's upcoming theatrical or streaming releases. Originating on network television with Star Trek: The Original Series, Star Trek became a successful movie franchise starting with 1979's Star Trek: The Motion Picture. There have been 13 Star Trek movies in total, and every decade since the 1970s has enjoyed a Star Trek movie release.

However, Star Trek movies stalled following the theatrical release of Star Trek Beyond in 2016. A year later,...

James Hiroyuki Liao left the Star Trek: Section 31 set with nothing but fond memories. The actor recently opened up about his involvement in the highly-anticipated Paramount+ original movie and what it was like to work with Academy Award winner Michelle Yeoh.

Speaking with Screen Rant about his role in Apple TV+'s Presumed Innocent, Liao briefly touched on the upcoming Star Trek project, although he was careful not to reveal too much about his character. "I can't say really much about anything about who I play on Star Trek: Section 31. All I can say is that my guy is very, very intense," he teased. "Without giving anything away, he's a broken soul, and hurt people. I think I gotta leave it at that, otherwise I get in trouble. But I love playing him. He's maybe one of the greatest characters I've had the chance to play."

Star Trek: Section 31 explores the mysterious "lost era" of Federation history, potentially answering questions about pivotal events. Michelle Yeoh's Emperor Philippa Georgiou faces her past sins, recruited by the secretive Section 31. The film delves into Captain Rachel Garrett's journey and could resolve the fates of iconic starships like the USS Enterprise-b.

Michelle Yeoh's upcoming Star Trek: Section 31 film takes place in Star Trek's "lost era," and could answer several questions about this mysterious period of 24th century history. After the end of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, about 70 years pass before Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) takes over command of the USS Enterprise-d in Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Paramount+ can revive canceled Star Trek shows through feature-length streaming films. Characters from Discovery, Picard, and Lower Decks can continue their stories in movies. The success of Star Trek legacy characters in films could pave the way for more spin-offs.

Paramount+ can keep canceled Star Trek shows alive by continuing the characters' adventures in feature-length made-for-streaming films. Although the Star Trek franchise began on television, Star Trek's 13 theatrical movies provided more adventures with characters from Star Trek: The Original Series and Star Trek: The Next Generation. Not only has the Star Trek franchise often moved from television to film, but Paramount+ has also set this precedent. The upcoming Star Trek: Section 31 starring Michelle Yeoh originally began as a concept for a television series.

Star Trek: Discovery comes to an end with season 5, and Paramount recently announced that the upcoming Star Trek: Lower Decks season 5 would also be its last.

According to a new article in Variety, the upcoming "Star Trek" TV movie "Section 31" includes a younger version of Rachel Garrett, a character last seen on the "Star Trek: The Next Generation" episode "Yesterday's Enterprise." Garrett will be played by actress Kacey Rohl. After some extremely nerdy number crunching, one will conclude that "Section 31" takes place in the 2320s, which is a weird timeframe. The lead character of "Section 31" is Empress Philippa Georgiou, played by Michelle Yeoh, and the last time we saw her, she had been whisked away from the year 2258 — her "homebase," as it were — and deposited in the year 3188. After encountering a sentient time portal, Georgiou was next delivered to an unspecified point in history "when the Mirror Universe and the Prime Universe were still aligned." Given what we know about "Star Trek," that could be as long ago as Ad 1799.

It seems, however, that she was deposited in the 2320s,...

Emperor Georgiou may be recruiting young legacy characters from different Star Trek eras for Section 31. The multi-era Section 31 theory is possible, with the potential for familiar characters to join the division played by new actors. Section 31 could change legacy characters like Rachel Garrett by providing stronger characterization and new stories.

Could Star Trek: Section 31 be about Emperor Philippa Georgiou (Michelle Yeoh) uniting legacy characters from across the Star Trek franchise? Section 31 was set up in Star Trek: Discovery season 3 when Emperor Georgiou left Discovery's 32nd century for a personal mission, courtesy of the Guardian of Forever (Paul Guilfoyle). The only clue the Guardian gave regarding Georgiou's destination was that the Mirror Universe of Georgiou's origin and the Prime Universe were "still aligned", to alleviate Georgiou's debilitating symptoms arising from being in both the wrong time and the wrong universe. This suggested Section 31 takes place in an earlier point in the Star Trek timeline.

Captain Rachel Garrett's inclusion in Star Trek: Section 31 could complicate her heroic Starfleet legacy. Her involvement with Section 31 raises questions about her past actions and the impact on her reputation. Being part of Section 31 may lead to redemption or revelations that could reshape Garrett's Star Trek story.

The inclusion of a younger version of Star Trek: The Next Generation's Captain Rachel Garrett in Star Trek: Section 31 could mean a big change for her Starfleet legacy. Since the character's single appearance in Tng season 3, episode 15, "Yesterday's Enterprise", fans have only known how Captain Rachel Garrett died, not how she lived. Now that The Magicians' Kacey Rohl will play the future captain of the USS Enterprise-c in Michelle Yeoh's Section 31 movie, it provides a chance to learn more about this important figure in Starfleet history.

Directing Michelle Yeoh as Emperor Philippa Georgiou in Section 31 was described as "incredible" by Osunsanmi. The first Star Trek movie made for streaming, Section 31, features Yeoh back as the anti-heroine Georgiou.

Star Trek: Section 31 director Olatunde Osunsanmi says directing Academy Award-winner Michelle Yeoh's return as Emperor Philippa Georgiou was "incredible." The first Star Trek movie made for streaming on Paramount+, Section 31 brings Yeoh back as Georgiou, the anti-heroine originally introduced in Star Trek: Discovery. Osunsanmi is a producer and director of Star Trek: Discovery who helmed 14 episodes of the show, including the upcoming series finale, "Life, Itself," before directing Star Trek: Section 31.

Since its debut 1966, Star Trek has been about boldly going forward. And no Star Trek series has gone further forward than Discovery. After a rocky first few seasons set about a decade before The Original Series, Discovery found its place by jumping to the 32nd century, farther into the future than any other entry in the franchise.

As Discovery prepares to end its mission with its fifth and final season, fans might be wondering what’s next for the 32nd century and the TV franchise as a whole. With Strange New Worlds staying in Disco’s original pre-tos era and Lower Decks and Prodigy exploring the period after the Next Generation movie Nemesis, Disco’s exit seems to leave the 32nd century unexplored.

But not so fast, says Star Trek executive producer Alex Kurtzman. “I think you can expect more of [Discovery’s] 32nd century,” Kurtzman teases in an exclusive interview for...

Star Trek: Section 31 may answer the mystery of disappearing turtlenecks in Starfleet uniforms. The evolution of Starfleet uniforms in the "lost era" suggests a gradual change in styles. The longevity of the "monster maroon" uniforms in Star Trek is unusual compared to other eras.

When Star Trek: Section 31 streams on Paramount+, the next Star Trek movie can finally answer a mystery about Starfleet uniforms first raised in Star Trek: The Next Generation. In Tng season 3, episode 15, "Yesterday's Enterprise", a temporal rift introduced the 2340s USS Enterprise-c, commanded by Captain Rachel Garrett (Tricia O'Neil), to the 2360s crew of the USS Enterprise-d. Kacey Rohl will play a younger Rachel Garrett in Section 31 alongside Michelle Yeoh's Emperor Philippa Georgiou, implying Section 31 may take place in Star Trek's "lost era", set between Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country in 2293, and the start of Star Trek: The Next Generation in...

Quick Links The Next Generation Introduced the Klingon-Federation Alliance Deep Space Nine Changed Klingon and Federation Dynamics In an Explosive Way The Klingon and Federation Go to War Against the Dominion The End of the 24th Century Brought a Return to Klingon and Federation Peace

While Klingons are thought of as the biggest antagonists in the history of the Federation, the majority of Star Trek stories take place when they are at peace. The end of Star Trek: The Original Series era of films included the beginnings of an alliance initiated by Spock and Captain Kirk, though reluctantly. While peace was never easy or all that long-lasting, the Klingon Empire and Starfleet are just as often allies as enemies. Making peace with the Federation was always something controversial among the war-obsessed Klingons. Through multiple versions of treaties, alliances and agreements, some Klingon ship and its crew were always hassling some Starfleet or Federation target.

The "lost era" between Star Trek VI and Tng holds major historical events that shape the franchise's future. Michelle Yeoh's Section 31 movie explores this politically fractious time with Emperor Georgiou's mission in the 24th century. Key events like the Tomed Incident, the Cardassian Occupation of Bajor, and the Khitomer Massacre impact future Trek characters.

Michelle Yeoh's Section 31 movie will take place in Star Trek's "lost era", expanding on the limited knowledge that fans have of this tantalizing time period. The confirmation that Kacey Rohl will play a young Rachel Garrett in Star Trek: Section 31 confirms that the latest mission for Emperor Philippa Georgiou (Michelle Yeoh) will take place in the early 24th century. This extensive period in the Star Trek timeline takes place between the end of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country and the start of Star Trek: The Next Generation, during which some major historical events took place.

Star Trek: Section 31 is set to introduce a younger version of a character that first appeared in a beloved episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Per Variety's in-depth report on the future of the Star Trek franchise, Kacey Rohl will portray a young Rachel Garrett, who was the captain of the Enterprise-c in the first half of the 24th century, in Section 31. The character originated on The Next Generation in the Season 3 episode, "Yesterday’s Enterprise," where she was portrayed by Tricia O'Neil. Although Garrett's role in the movie remains under wraps, Variety noted that she was on set at the same time as lead star Michelle Yeoh, who reprises her role from Star Trek: Discovery as Philippa Georgiou.

The Enterprise-c has returned! Again!

According to a Variety report about the future of the Star Trek franchise, the upcoming Section 31 movie will feature Kacey Rohl as a “young” Rachel Garrett, presumably before she became the captain of the Enterprise-c. It’s a surprising but exciting turn of events, to be sure, since Garrett has only appeared in a single episode of Star Trek, leaving much of her history yet to be explored. In fact, digging into more of Garrett’s story would be a way to unlock a piece of Star Trek captain lore that’s long been missing despite the Enterprise-c’s introduction over 30 years ago.

Since 2017, "Star Trek" has gone through some dramatic ups and downs. The launch of "Star Trek: Discovery" that year was a clarion call for the franchise, announcing that "Star Trek" was back on TV after a 13-year hiatus. "Discovery," however, was notoriously expensive and not widely beloved. It was soon joined on CBS All Access/Paramount+ by an overwhelming glut of "Star Trek" shows, each one set at a different period in Trek history. There was a brief moment when six Trek shows were running simultaneously.

The streaming model, however, proved to be unprofitable, and Paramount has been slowly extracting all its eggs from the Trek basket in recent years. "Discovery" is about to debut its fifth and final season, "Prodigy" will likewise end after its next year, "Short Treks" is seemingly no more, and "Picard" recently drew to a close. A planned spinoff of "Discovery," called "Section 31" mutated from...

“Star Trek” fans got a couple fascinating details in a March 27 report by Variety on the future of the franchise on Paramount+. The biggest for sure is that the character of Rachel Garrett, the first female captain of the USS Enterprise, will be appearing in the “Section 31” direct-to-Paramount+ movie that’s going to star Michelle Yeoh.

The actress Kacey Rohl will be playing Garrett, who was the captain of the Enterprise-c in the first half of the 24th century and was the subject of one of the most beloved “Next Generation” episodes ever: “Yesterday’s Enterprise” (she was played by Tricia O’Neal in the original episode).

That time-travel episode was about how the Enterprise-c was ripped out of history at a battle with the Romulans where it was supposed to have perished; instead the ship was hurled 22 years into the future where it meets Picard’s Enterprise, the Enterprise-d. As...

The sprawling cover story (which is well worth a read) also spills on the surprising return of a character who hasn’t been seen in over thirty years.

The Star Trek: Section 31 first look features Michelle Yeoh as the morally dubious Georgiou having a word with someone with a few cybernetic enhancements. The last we saw of the character was on Star Trek: Discovery when she stepped through a portal to somewhere in the past. The exact timeframe remains unknown, but thanks to the addition of one particular Star Trek character, we may have a much better idea.

A new Variety cover story about the Star Trek franchise reveals that Star...

Details on Paramount+'s upcoming Star Trek: Section 31 movie have so far been as top-secret as its namesake Starfleet spy agency. But now we know one of the characters who will encounter Michelle Yeoh's Philippa Georgiou - and she's an important part of Star Trek history. A new feature in Variety goes behind the scenes of the filming of the streaming-original film, which recently wrapped filming, and reveals that previously-announced cast member Kacey Rohl (Hannibal) will be playing Rachel Garrett, a character who captained the USS Enterprise-c in the classic Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Yesterday's Enterprise".

Captain Rachel Garrett became the first female captain of Enterprise-c, securing lasting peace with the Klingons. Garrett's sacrifice to restore the prime timeline in "Yesterday's Enterprise" left a legacy honored until the 25th century. Tragic events continue in Captain Garrett's legacy in Picard season 3, with her statue's destruction and a devastating attack.

Captain Rachel Garrett (Tricia O'Neil) is Star Trek's most tragic Enterprise captain, but she has made a huge impact on Starfleet's future. Rachel Garrett became the first female captain of the starship Enterprise when she took command of the USS Enterprise-c in the early to mid 24th century. Following in the footsteps of Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner), Garrett secured the peace that Kirk's Enterprise had helped establish between the Federation and the Klingons, during a tumultuous time for both parties.

Sadly, Captain Rachel Garrett achieved this lasting peace with the Klingons in a tragic way,...

Captain Rachel Garrett was the commanding officer of the U.S.S. Enterprise-c, a ship that infamously met a grisly fate. In the 1990 "Star Trek: The Next Generation" episode "Yesterday's Enterprise" -- often called one of the best episodes of the show -- the once-thought-destroyed Enterprise-c flew threw a time portal, landing itself 20 years in the future, smack in the middle of the 24th century timeline of "Next Generation." It seems, however, that when the Enterprise-c vanished from its timeline 20 years ago, it also exited a crucial battle with the Romulans. The ship's disappearance negatively changed the outcome of the battle and led to a decades-long war. The Enterprise-d of "Next Generation," thanks to causality, was instantly transformed into a stern warship, one of the last surviving fighting forces in a failing Federation military. 

The situation was overseen by Captain Garrett, played by actress Tricia O'Neil. O'Neil played Garrett's part well,...

Star Trek has featured three female captains of starships named Enterprise on-screen, showcasing its commitment to an egalitarian future. The list of Enterprise captains has expanded beyond the iconic Kirk and Picard, with other captains like Archer and Pike making their mark. The intersection of female captains who were also Enterprise captains remains small, with only three women holding this distinction so far, but Star Trek continues to explore new possibilities for female leadership.

In Star Trek history, three women have been the captains of starships named Enterprise on-screen. Star Trek has dreamed of an egalitarian future since its inception, when series creator Gene Roddenberry included the enigmatic Number One (Majel Barrett) as the Enterprise's female First Officer in the Star Trek: The Original Series pilot "The Cage". Since then, Star Trek has certainly had several notable female captains, including series leads Captain Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) on Star Trek: Voyager,...

At the end of the 1986 film "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home," Kirk (William Shatner), having gone back in time to retrieve extinct humpback whales and save the Earth from a space monster, was "punished" with a cheeky demotion to the rank of captain. He was also given a starship to command in the newly built U.S.S. Enterprise-a.

The following year, "Star Trek: The Next Generation" debuted, and it was set about 85 years after the events of "Star Trek IV." The new series took place on board the U.S.S. Enterprise-d. The alphabetical jump immediately intrigued Trekkies and chin-stroking began forthwith. Wither the Enterprise-b and Enterprise-c? Those ships provided a canonical mystery that wouldn't be revealed for a few years yet.

Then, in the third season of "Next Generation," one of those ships was finally revealed. In "Yesterday's Enterprise," a time portal opened up in front of...

Jean-Luc Picard holds the record for being the longest-serving Captain of the USS Enterprise, with an unbroken 18-year command. Captain James T. Kirk had a total of 28 years of service as the commanding officer of the USS Enterprise, but with a nine-year retirement gap. Captain Christopher Pike served on the Enterprise for 15 years before passing on command to Kirk, while Captain Robert April had a brief five-year mission.

There have been many ships to bear the name Enterprise in Star Trek, but which of its legendary Captains was the longest-serving commanding officer? The original USS Enterprise Ncc-1701 from Star Trek: The Original Series was in service for 22 years, commanded by Captains Robert April (Adrian Holmes), Christopher Pike (Anson Mount), and James T. Kirk (William Shatner) respectively. Its most outstanding successor, Star Trek: The Next Generation's USS Enterprise-d was in service for nine years, solely commanded by Captain Jean-Luc Picard...

The USS Enterprise is the most iconic ship in the Star Trek universe. The flagship of the Federation has had many different incarnations and been commanded by multiple captains. Of those commanding officers, three stand above the rest.

The most famous and revered Enterprise captains are Christopher Pike, James T. Kirk and Jean-Luc Picard. Though they had very different styles of command, they're all considered to be some of Starfleet's finest officers. In addition to their stellar performances as starship captains, they all share one thing in common, which may also be the key to their success.

Warning: Spoilers for Star Trek: Picard Season 3, Episode 2 - "Disengage"The Shrike has a secret weapon in Star Trek: Picard season 3, and what could be the villainous Captain Vadic's (Amanda Plummer) ace-in-the-hole may spell doom for Admiral Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) and the USS Titan-a. The malicious Vadic revealed herself in Star Trek: Picard season 3, episode 2, "Disengage," confronting Picard and the bridge crew of the Titan on their view screen. For reasons yet to be revealed, Vadic wants Jack Crusher (Ed Speleers), who was outed as the son of Picard and Dr. Beverly Crusher (Gates McFadden). Naturally, Jean-Luc refused to hand his son over to a bounty hunter.

Star Trek: Picard season 3, episode 2 shed a bit more light on the masked and cloaked minions Captain Vadic surrounds herself with aboard the Shrike, their huge and fearsome pirate ship. Jack and Beverly Crusher have been pursued by Vadic and her forces for weeks,...

Warning: This article contains Spoilers for Star Trek: Picard season 3, episode 1, "The Next Generation"Attempting to stop a terrorist attack in the Star Trek: Picard season 3 premiere, Commander Raffi Musiker (Michelle Hurd) is on the trail of the Red Lady, who is revealed to be a huge callback to Star Trek: The Next Generation. Rather than rejecting Starfleet as implied in the Picard trailers, Raffi is actually working undercover for Starfleet Intelligence, investigating the theft of a weapon from Daystrom Station. It's a difficult mission for recovering addict Raffi, whose ongoing family issues and interactions with Star Trek's criminal underworld bring her dangerously close to a relapse.

However, Raffi's mind is firmly on the job, and she's determined to track down the Red Lady and stop an impending disaster. Viewers could be forgiven for thinking that the Red Lady is Picard season 3's villain, Captain Vadic (Amanda Plummer), bringing...

"Let history never forget the name… Enterprise."

Fans have not let history forget "Yesterday's Enterprise," the classic episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation from which that line comes. Thirty years ago this week, Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) and the Enterprise crew encountered Captain Rachel Garrett (Tricia O'Neil) and the crew of the long-lost Enterprise-c, when a temporal anomaly altered the timeline and brought the two starships together. But the twist is, in this version of the 24th Century, the Federation is on the losing end of a long war with the Klingons. This war ...

Director Quentin Tarantino ("Once Upon A Time In Hollywood") confirmed writer Mark L. Smith's R-rated screenplay for Paramount's developing "Star Trek" feature has now been delivered to "Star Trek" producer JJ Abrams:

"The script has been written," said Tarantino, "and when I emerge, post-'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood', we'll pick up talking about it again."

Tarantino is keen on 'time travel' stories including writer Harlan Ellison's "Star Trek" TV episode "City on the Edge of Forever", as well as the "Star Trek The Next Generation" episode "Yesterday's Enterprise" (1990), considering it to be the best of all the "Star Trek" stories set in the 24th century.

"...in 'Yesterday's Enterprise', the starship 'Enterprise Ncc-1701-d' encounters a rift in spacetime while on a routine mission. As they monitor the anomaly, the heavily damaged 'USS Enterprise-c', a ship believed to have been destroyed more than two decades earlier, emerges.

"Star Trek" actor Patrick Stewart is eager to reprise his role as 'Jean-Luc Picard' for director Quentin Tarantino's greenlit, R-rated "Star Trek" movie, to be scripted by Mark L. Smith ("The Revenant").

"...one of my dreams is to work with Tarantino," said Stewart. "I admire his work so much, and to be in a Tarantino film would give me so much satisfaction. So, if he is going to direct something to do with 'Star Tre' and there was the possibility of dear old 'Jean-Luc' showing up again and doing that for Mr Tarantino, I would embrace it."
