While Star Trek: Picard Season 3 was acclaimed and well-beloved, there was always something bittersweet about how it came about. Bringing in the cast of The Next Generation required cuts, and the series dropped much of its main cast from Season 1 and 2. This resulted in many storylines being set aside until recently, when one of the characters reappeared in a new comic.
The comic book series Star Trek: The Last Starship presents an intriguing story, taking place shortly after the events of "The Burn," a universe-changing event highlighted in Discovery. As the Federation collapses, a resurrected James T. Kirk is tasked with trying to keep Starfleet alive, and aiding him in this journey will be a character we haven't seen since the Picard Season 2 finale.
