In the "Star Trek: Voyager" episode "Hope and Fear", a visiting alien named Arturis (Ray Wise) helpfully translates some coded information that the U.S.S. Voyager had recently discovered on an abandoned communications network. Arturis unexpectedly decodes the location of a nearby empty Starfleet vessel called the U.S.S. Dauntless, an experimental craft that is equipped with a new kind of warp "slipstream" technology. The Dauntless, unbeknownst to the Voyager crew, was sent specifically out to the Delta Quadrant to bring the Voyager crew back to Earth, and Captain Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) is elated.
It will eventually be revealed, of course, that the Dauntless is an elaborate booby trap constructed by Arturis, who had been secretly hellbent on revenge. His species had recently been assimilated by the Borg, and he blamed Janeway for his planet's destruction. About a year earlier, Janeway had allied with the Borg to pass...

Mike McMahan, the creator of "Star Trek: Lower Decks" has been coy about the actual size of his show's central vessel, the U.S.S. Cerritos. Given the ship's status as a secondary utility vehicle, viewers might come to believe that the ship is tiny, perhaps even one of the smallest in the fleet. However, some recent expanded universe lore -- particularly, the Eaglemoss scale model of the Cerritos -- have declared the ship to be about as long as the U.S.S. Enterprise-e. For non-Trekkies, that's actually quite long.
McMahan once confessed to Inverse that the size of the Cerritos actually changed thanks to his show's increased animation budget. In the first season of "Lower Decks," animators were only able to include so many windows on the ship exterior. When the budget increased, detail on the ship became more elaborate, and more windows were added. More windows, however,...

Mild spoilers for Picard Season 1 ahead.
More than any of the new Star Trek series, Picard is the one that is the most stuffed with obvious Trekkie nostalgia. Yes, when Strange New Worlds starts showing some footage, we might feel differently, but because Picard is a sequel to the ‘90s-era of Trek, for this present moment, it connects with various generations of Trekkies at the same time.
On “First Contact Day,” Paramount+ dropped a minimalist, spare teaser-trailer, similar to the vineyard teaser for Picard Season 1. But this time, as we swept through Picard’s study in Château Picard, the trailer was basically nothing but Easter eggs. Here’s a full breakdown of what we caught and what it all might mean.
Château Picard is Not a hologram
Notably, the first shot of the trailer is of the outside of Château Picard, which seems to imply what we’re looking at...
