Enterprising Maker Creates Custom Star Trek PC Case

Made using 21st Century Replicators

To counter the recent Borg incursion into PC building , YouTuber TimeTravelingTech (aka James) has designed and built his own Starfleet themed rig . We're not sure how well matched one shuttle is against a Borg cube though. That said, the build is beautiful. So lets take it for a test flight.

James is no stranger, having created a series of 3D printable cases for the Raspberry Pi. These include a rather useful print-in-place, folding Raspberry Pi case. Also, a Raspberry Pi case modelled on the Ghostbusters fire station. For James' latest project, timed to coincide with the release of Star Trek: Picard Season 3 we see him build a shuttle PC. Not the Shuttle brand, a Star Trek shuttle.

The case itself is modelled on a Type 6 shuttlecraft , commonly used from season 5 of Star Trek: The Next Generation (Season 5, episode 2 "Darmok" and also reused in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier). But this isn't an off-the-shelf case, James spent considerable time designing the case in AutoDesk Fusion 360, then printing the many pieces on one of the best 3D printers , a Prusa MK3S+ . Looking at a screengrab from the video, we can see that James favored PETG over PLA, we just hope that he used the Best 3D filament . The choice is simple. PETG is a much stronger material than PLA and it will last for a long time. That said, PETG is harder to print, requiring the hot end to be at around 240 degrees Celsius, and the bed at approximately 90°C.

Enough geeking out at Star Trek and 3D printing. Inside the shuttle is a PC with a spec from 2014. At the heart is an i5 4460, 16GB of DDR3, 512GB SSD and an Nvidia GT650 GPU. As James says in the video, this is just a test. If it all goes well a much higher spec machine will take its place. The PC is housed on a 3D printed tray, enabling the entire unit to be slid in and out of the case. If you need access to USB ports, there are some hidden in the warp engines (in the Bussard Collector's at the front of the nacelle). Keeping the PC cool is a plethora of Noctua fans. We spotted an NF-A8 (80mm PWM fan) and two NF-A4x10 (40 x 10mm FLX fan). Airflow for the fans is via cleverly 3D printed cockpit windows and intakes on the side of the shuttle, they look perfectly "in-universe". Just behind the cockpit are two grey greebles which hide the power and reset buttons.

The nacelles house a strip of high density ("there are FOUR LIGHTS" per inch) NeoPixels, which are controlled via an Wemos D1 Mini (an ESP8266 based board) and via some clever software, James is able to control the LEDs via an old Windows tablet. We've used the Wemos D1 Mini and NeoPixels with WLED to create light shows during the holiday season.

James then completes the build with an LCARS themed keyboard, a 1990s phaser mouse, Galaxy class Master Systems Display and a System 47 screensaver.

The build process and final product are superb and a credit to James' Star Trek fandom and maker ethic.

This borg cube pc case proves star trek mods still rule.

We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own.

We’ve seen some incredible Star Trek case mods over the years, ranging from shuttlecraft to replica Enterprise starship, and it turns out you don’t need to be a Starfleet-grade engineer to enjoy such wares.

The folk over at CherryTree have a range of officially licensed PC cases available to purchase, and have been producing stellar-looking chassis for the last few years. They’ve somehow managed to escape our attention up until now, but caught our eye courtesy of Les Pounder over at Tom’s.

Based out of California, CherryTree positions itself as the antithesis of Thermaltake or Corsair. “We do not punch out tens of thousands of cases each month from a Chinese factory,” says the company, whose goal is to “combine the beauty and awesomeness of SciFi Props and Vessels with recent computer technology.”

Sounds a-okay to us, and Star Trek fans old and new alike will be grinning at the prospect of a Borg PC case. CherryTree’s ATX variant, pictured above and below, now comes in a choice of black or white colour schemes with prices starting at $399. A fair chunk of change, but then this is a hand-crafted case built to order, and as such there are plenty of optional extras.

Add a 7in LCD display, a high-airflow bottom plate with three fans, fibre-optic RGB illumination and some laser engraving, and the price quickly rises over $500. It isn’t for everyone, clearly, yet there’s a good amount of potential for those who love PC tech by day and dress up in Star Trek uniform by night.

CherryTree uses hand-painted detailing for a more authentic representation of the Borg Artifact from Star Trek: Picard, and there’s thought been put into airflow, too. The cube itself comprises 16 separate panels to ensure multiple vents of different sizes.

“They are not just black boxes with 3 fans on the back; our Star Trek Borg Cube PC cases need to breathe!,” says the manufacturer.

As for hardware capabilities, the 380mm x 380mm Cube can accommodate a choice of regular ATX, micro-ATX or mini-ITX motherboard, up to a 240mm liquid-cooling radiator, full-size graphics cards and up to three storage devices.

Star Trek is seeing something of a renaissance, but let’s face it, we Trekkies need no excuse to splash out on memorabilia as eye-catching as this. Fortunately, if the price tag or Borg are just too scary, a regular Star Trek Edition case is also available starting at $159 with a choice of Star Trek faceplate designs.

Unmissable competitions.

Against this Borg Cube PC, resistance is futile

"You can't begin to imagine the life you denied yourself" without an officially licensed Star Trek Borg Cube PC in your possession.

We just discovered that Star Trek Borg PCs are available to buy in the US, and it's not just a highly detailed case you're getting with some of these. While a few options don't include a graphics card, the makers have at least saved you the trouble of trying to figure out how in the universe you're supposed to mount a motherboard in there. 

Besides, there's a Borg Cat Statue available for $40, which the company will even personalise the colour of to match your real-life Trekkie puss.

These cases really do capture the terrifying beauty of Borg cubes, and there's even a "blemished" ATX Picard Borg Cube case , which really looks like it's been through the wars. As for prebuilts, configuration options include last-gen CPU offerings from both AMD and Intel, and come in both ATX and ITX form factors.

One option that does come with a GPU is this RTX 3050-powered Artefact Borg Cube in ATX form factor, with RGB-lit windows in some of the corners. It's a bit steep for a last-gen machine at $1,300, with its Intel Core i5 12400 and just a 480GB NVMe SSD, but that is the price you pay for perfect assimilation.

At the top end there's a gorgeous, water-cooled white version for $4,100 , complete with a Core i9 12900K, RTX 3090, 2TB of NVMe storage and 64GB of DDR5 RAM. Still not sure if we would recommend that for the price, but damn does it look good.

Impressively, the Micro Cube MK II comes in at $800 and while there's no GPU this adorable, translucent little machine packs an Intel Core i7 12700, 16GB of DDR4 RAM and 1TB of NVMe storage. There are lesser configurations but that's really not bad for the price, especially when you're getting a custom PC case.

Sadly the $900 Ryzen 5 5600 version comes paired with only a GTX 1660 Super, which is much less exciting, especially for that price—that includes just 8GB of RAM and 480GB of storage.

Greebles and all, these are some very exciting-looking cases with a great range of config options, just don't get caught out paying over the odds for a GTX 1660 super in 2023. Even if it does so perfectly mimic everyone's favourite hivemind alien vessel. 

Thankfully there's the option to configure your PC by clicking "Build it for me" for cases not under the "Ready built" and "budget" categories, though you won't get same day shipping if you go that route.

Screw sports, Katie would rather watch Intel, AMD and Nvidia go at it. Having been obsessed with computers and graphics for three long decades, she took Game Art and Design up to Masters level at uni, and has been demystifying tech and science—rather sarcastically—for three years since. She can be found admiring AI advancements, scrambling for scintillating Raspberry Pi projects, preaching cybersecurity awareness, sighing over semiconductors, and gawping at the latest GPU upgrades. She's been heading the PCG Steam Deck content hike, while waiting patiently for her chance to upload her consciousness into the cloud.

Get your Borg or other Star Trek computer or case at Cherry Tree

If you're looking for something to spruce up your computer or give for a Christmas gift to a Star Trek fan, like a Borg case, look no further than Cherry Tree. 

Cherry Tree credits itself as a company with one goal in mind—"to combine the beauty and awesomeness of SciFi Props and Vessels with recent computer technology." And in 2017, the company was granted a license by CBS (now Paramount) for Star Trek products, and its been creating amazing Borg technology (and others since then).

Cherry Tree offers cases to house your computers or, if you prefer, complete builds like this Star Trek: Picard Borg Cube ATX PC . As expected, these are a definite investment, but who else is going to have a Borg computer? But if you just can't get over what the Collective did to Captain Picard, you can always go in a different direction.

Cherry Tree offers PCs and cases that aren't Borg-related.

The Geek Machine is a Star Trek Edition Custom Gaming PC Case, and you can choose your favorite faceplate design. Right now, current faceplate design sets feature artwork themed after:

Star Trek LCARS

Star Trek: Lower Decks characters

Star Trek: Lower Decks environments

Star Trek Ships

But there is more artwork on the way. This, too, can be designed as a computer rather than just a case. And the company also offers some pre-builds in case you're not interested in designing your own computer. The prices are lower because these are microcubes, measuring in at 7.5″ x 7.5″ x 7.5″.

And while you're at the company site (mycherrytree.com) perusing the available options for your PC, you'll want to check out the store which includes other licensed Star Trek merchandise like clothing and figurines like a Borg cat statue or one of my personal favorites, the T-shirt explaining why assimilation can be a good thing.

Star trek fleet command codes (april 2024).

To give the base and fleet a boost, use codes in Star Trek Fleet Command to get ahead and achieve victory while exploring unknown sectors.

For those starting out or for those who just want an extra boost, codes in Star Trek Fleet Command can be redeemed to give you a few extra items. The game is a mobile and PC game that allows you to recruit various factions and officers to form your crew, build up a fleet of various ships, explore the Star Trek universe, and build up a starbase . The game has a lot of elements that players of mobile games will be familiar with, but all set within the world of Star Trek.

Star Trek Fleet Command is based on the popular multimedia franchise , and players will be familiar with the ships, systems, and crew members they can recruit. However, building up all these various items and recruiting people will take a lot of effort. This can be reduced by using various codes to get some items for free , and the active codes for April 2024 will be listed below.

Star Trek Fleet Command Adds Captain Picard & More TNG Content

All codes for star trek fleet command in april 2024.

Codes are free to use for everyone and can come with big rewards such as unlocking characters in Star Trek Fleet Command . However, in some cases, there might be requirements before you get to use them . These requirements will be listed with each code so players know when they can be used. Currently, there are three active codes, although this may change month to month.

Codes should be entered without any extra spaces with the proper capitalization. Enter the code exactly as it is represented in the table to make sure you receive the correct rewards.

To use these codes, players must have downloaded the game and completed the tutorial . Once you are able to interact with the game freely, you should be able to enter any codes that do not have level requirements. If they do, you will have to reach that level before you can use the code.

To enter the code, look to the upper right part of the screen and find the box icon with the word “claim” on it. After that, find the icon with the word “Redeem” near it to take you to the game's website , which features the game's store and news from Star Trek Fleet Command .

This is where it gets a little more complicated, as players will have to make sure the game and their registration on the website are synced . Log in or make a new account and make sure that you are also logged in within the game as well to make sure that all data is syncing between the two. Then copy one of the codes into the input field next to a yellow “Redeem” button.

Once you have entered it and clicked on the button, you should see the rewards pop, and upon relaunching your game, the rewards should show up, and you should be able to use them . If they do not appear, make sure your data is synced, that you entered the code correctly, and that you have the requirements necessary for each code. And that should give you everything you need to redeem April’s codes in Star Trek Fleet Command .

The Future of ‘Star Trek’: From ‘Starfleet Academy’ to New Movies and Michelle Yeoh, How the 58-Year-Old Franchise Is Planning for the Next Generation of Fans

“I can’t believe I get to play the captain of the Enterprise.”

“Strange New Worlds” is the 12th “Star Trek” TV show since the original series debuted on NBC in 1966, introducing Gene Roddenberry’s vision of a hopeful future for humanity. In the 58 years since, the “Star Trek” galaxy has logged 900 television episodes and 13 feature films, amounting to 668 hours — nearly 28 days — of content to date. Even compared with “Star Wars” and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, “Star Trek” stands as the only storytelling venture to deliver a single narrative experience for this long across TV and film.

In other words, “Star Trek” is not just a franchise. As Alex Kurtzman , who oversees all “Star Trek” TV production, puts it, “‘Star Trek’ is an institution.”

Without a steady infusion of new blood, though, institutions have a way of fading into oblivion (see soap operas, MySpace, Blockbuster Video). To keep “Star Trek” thriving has meant charting a precarious course to satisfy the fans who have fueled it for decades while also discovering innovative ways to get new audiences on board.

“Doing ‘Star Trek’ means that you have to deliver something that’s entirely familiar and entirely fresh at the same time,” Kurtzman says.

The franchise has certainly weathered its share of fallow periods, most recently after “Nemesis” bombed in theaters in 2002 and UPN canceled “Enterprise” in 2005. It took 12 years for “Star Trek” to return to television with the premiere of “Discovery” in 2017; since then, however, there has been more “Star Trek” on TV than ever: The adventure series “Strange New Worlds,” the animated comedy “Lower Decks” and the kids series “Prodigy” are all in various stages of production, and the serialized thriller “Picard” concluded last year, when it ranked, along with “Strange New Worlds,” among Nielsen’s 10 most-watched streaming original series for multiple weeks. Nearly one in five Paramount+ subscribers in the U.S. is watching at least one “Star Trek” series, according to the company, and more than 50% of fans watching one of the new “Trek” shows also watch at least two others. The new shows air in 200 international markets and are dubbed into 35 languages. As “Discovery” launches its fifth and final season in April, “Star Trek” is in many ways stronger than it’s ever been.

“’Star Trek’s fans have kept it alive more times than seems possible,” says Eugene Roddenberry, Jr., who executive produces the TV series through Roddenberry Entertainment. “While many shows rightfully thank their fans for supporting them, we literally wouldn’t be here without them.”

But the depth of fan devotion to “Star Trek” also belies a curious paradox about its enduring success: “It’s not the largest fan base,” says Akiva Goldsman, “Strange New Worlds” executive producer and co-showrunner. “It’s not ‘Star Wars.’ It’s certainly not Marvel.”

When J.J. Abrams rebooted “Star Trek” in 2009 — with Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto and Zoe Saldaña playing Kirk, Spock and Uhura — the movie grossed more than any previous “Star Trek” film by a comfortable margin. But neither that film nor its two sequels broke $500 million in global grosses, a hurdle every other top-tier franchise can clear without breaking a sweat.

There’s also the fact that “Star Trek” fans are aging. I ask “The Next Generation” star Jonathan Frakes, who’s acted in or directed more versions of “Star Trek” than any other person alive, how often he meets fans for whom the new “Star Trek” shows are their first. “Of the fans who come to talk to me, I would say very, very few,” he says. “‘Star Trek’ fans, as we know, are very, very, very loyal — and not very young.”

As Stapf puts it: “There’s a tried and true ‘Trek’ fan that is probably going to come to every ‘Star Trek,’ no matter what it is — and we want to expand the universe.”

Every single person I spoke to for this story talked about “Star Trek” with a joyful earnestness as rare in the industry as (nerd alert) a Klingon pacifist.

“When I’m meeting fans, sometimes they’re coming to be confirmed, like I’m kind of a priest,” Ethan Peck says during a break in filming on the “Strange New Worlds” set. He’s in full Spock regalia — pointy ears, severe eyebrows, bowl haircut — and when asked about his earliest memories of “Star Trek,” he stares off into space in what looks like Vulcan contemplation. “I remember being on the playground in second or third grade and doing the Vulcan salute, not really knowing where it came from,” he says. “When I thought of ‘Star Trek,’ I thought of Spock. And now I’m him. It’s crazy.”

To love “Star Trek” is to love abstruse science and cowboy diplomacy, complex moral dilemmas and questions about the meaning of existence. “It’s ultimately a show with the most amazing vision of optimism, I think, ever put on-screen in science fiction,” says Kurtzman, who is 50. “All you need is two minutes on the news to feel hopeless now. ‘Star Trek’ is honestly the best balm you could ever hope for.”

I’m getting a tour of the USS Enterprise from Scotty — or, rather, “Strange New World” production designer Jonathan Lee, who is gushing in his native Scottish burr as we step into the starship’s transporter room. “I got such a buzzer from doing this, I can’t tell you,” he says. “I actually designed four versions of it.”

Lee is especially proud of the walkway he created to run behind the transporter pads — an innovation that allows the production to shoot the characters from a brand-new set of angles as they beam up from a far-flung planet. It’s one of the countless ways that this show has been engineered to be as cinematic as possible, part of Kurtzman’s overall vision to make “Star Trek” on TV feel like “a movie every week.”

Kurtzman’s tenure with “Star Trek” began with co-writing the screenplay for Abrams’ 2009 movie, which was suffused with a fast-paced visual style that was new to the franchise. When CBS Studios approached Kurtzman in the mid-2010s about bringing “Star Trek” back to TV, he knew instinctively that it needed to be just as exciting as that film.

“The scope was so much different than anything we had ever done on ‘Next Gen,’” says Frakes, who’s helmed two feature films with the “Next Generation” cast and directed episodes of almost every live-action “Trek” TV series, including “Discovery” and “Strange New Worlds.” “Every department has the resources to create.”

A new science lab set for Season 3, for example, boasts a transparent floor atop a four-foot pool of water that swirls underneath the central workbench, and the surrounding walls sport a half dozen viewscreens with live schematics custom designed by a six-person team. “I like being able to paint on a really big canvas,” Kurtzman says. “The biggest challenge is always making sure that no matter how big something gets, you’re never losing focus on that tiny little emotional story.”

At this point, is there a genre that “Strange New Worlds” can’t do? “As long as we’re in storytelling that is cogent and sure handed, I’m not sure there is,” Goldsman says with an impish smile. “Could it do Muppets? Sure. Could it do black and white, silent, slapstick? Maybe!”

This approach is also meant to appeal to people who might want to watch “Star Trek” but regard those 668 hours of backstory as an insurmountable burden. “You shouldn’t have to watch a ‘previously on’ to follow our show,” Myers says.

To achieve so many hairpin shifts in tone and setting while maintaining Kurtzman’s cinematic mandate, “Strange New Worlds” has embraced one of the newest innovations in visual effects: virtual production. First popularized on the “Star Wars” series “The Mandalorian,” the technology — called the AR wall — involves a towering circular partition of LED screens projecting a highly detailed, computer-generated backdrop. Rather than act against a greenscreen, the actors can see whatever fantastical surroundings their characters are inhabiting, lending a richer level of verisimilitude to the show.

But there is a catch. While the technology is calibrated to maintain a proper sense of three-dimensional perspective through the camera lens, it can be a bit dizzying for anyone standing on the set. “The images on the walls start to move in a way that makes no sense,” says Mount. “You end up having to focus on something that’s right in front of you so you don’t fall down.”

And yet, even as he’s talking about it, Mount can’t help but break into a boyish grin. “Sometimes we call it the holodeck,” he says. In fact, the pathway to the AR wall on the set is dotted with posters of the virtual reality room from “The Next Generation” and the words “Enter Holodeck” in a classic “Trek” font.

“I want to take one of those home with me,” Peck says. Does the AR wall also affect him? “I don’t really get disoriented by it. Spock would not get ill, so I’m Method acting.”

I’m on the set of the “Star Trek” TV movie “Section 31,” seated in an opulent nightclub with a view of a brilliant, swirling nebula, watching Yeoh rehearse with director Olatunde Osunsanmi and her castmates. Originally, the project was announced as a TV series centered on Philippa Georgiou, the semi-reformed tyrant Yeoh originated on “Discovery.” But between COVID delays and the phenomenon of “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” there wasn’t room in the veteran actress’s schedule to fit a season of television. Yeoh was undaunted.

“We’d never let go of her,” she says of her character. “I was just blown away by all the different things I could do with her. Honestly, it was like, ‘Let’s just get it done, because I believe in this.’”

If that means nothing to you, don’t worry: The enormity of the revelation that Garrett is being brought back is meant only for fans. If you don’t know who the character is, you’re not missing anything.

“It was always my goal to deliver an entertaining experience that is true to the universe but appeals to newcomers,” says screenwriter Craig Sweeny. “I wanted a low barrier of entry so that anybody could enjoy it.”

Nevertheless, including Garrett on the show is exactly the kind of gasp-worthy detail meant to flood “Star Trek” fans with geeky good feeling.

“You cannot create new fans to the exclusion of old fans,” Kurtzman says. “You must serve your primary fan base first and you must keep them happy. That is one of the most important steps to building new fans.”

On its face, that maxim would make “Section 31” a genuine risk. The titular black-ops organization has been controversial with “Star Trek” fans since it was introduced in the 1990s. “The concept is almost antagonistic to some of the values of ‘Star Trek,’” Sweeny says. But he still saw “Section 31” as an opportunity to broaden what a “Star Trek” project could be while embracing the radical inclusivity at the heart of the franchise’s appeal.

“Famously, there’s a spot for everybody in Roddenberry’s utopia, so I was like, ‘Well, who would be the people who don’t quite fit in?’” he says. “I didn’t want to make the John le Carré version, where you’re in the headquarters and it’s backbiting and shades of gray. I wanted to do the people who were at the edges, out in the field. These are not people who necessarily work together the way you would see on a ‘Star Trek’ bridge.”

For Osunsanmi, who grew up watching “The Next Generation” with his father, it boils down to a simple question: “Is it putting good into the world?” he asks. “Are these characters ultimately putting good into the world? And, taking a step back, are we putting good into the world? Are we inspiring humans watching this to be good? That’s for me what I’ve always admired about ‘Star Trek.’”

Should “Section 31” prove successful, Yeoh says she’s game for a sequel. And Kurtzman is already eyeing more opportunities for TV movies, including a possible follow-up to “Picard.” The franchise’s gung-ho sojourn into streaming movies, however, stands in awkward contrast to the persistent difficulty Paramount Pictures and Abrams’ production company Bad Robot have had making a feature film following 2016’s “Star Trek Beyond” — the longest theaters have gone without a “Star Trek” movie since Paramount started making them.

First, a movie reuniting Pine’s Capt. Kirk with his late father — played in the 2009 “Star Trek” by Chris Hemsworth — fell apart in 2018. Around the same time, Quentin Tarantino publicly flirted with, then walked away from, directing a “Star Trek” movie with a 1930s gangster backdrop. Noah Hawley was well into preproduction on a “Star Trek” movie with a brand-new cast, until then-studio chief Emma Watts abruptly shelved it in 2020. And four months after Abrams announced at Paramount’s 2022 shareholders meeting that his 2009 cast would return for a movie directed by Matt Shakman (“WandaVision”), Shakman left the project to make “The Fantastic Four” for Marvel. (It probably didn’t help that none of the cast had been approached before Abrams made his announcement.)

The studio still intends to make what it’s dubbed the “final chapter” for the Pine-Quinto-Saldaña cast, and Steve Yockey (“The Flight Attendant”) is writing a new draft of the script. Even further along is another prospective “Star Trek” film written by Seth Grahame-Smith (“Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter”) and to be directed by Toby Haynes (“Andor,” “Black Mirror: USS Callister”) that studio insiders say is on track to start preproduction by the end of the year. That project will serve as an origin story of sorts for the main timeline of the entire franchise. In both cases, the studio is said to be focused on rightsizing the budgets to fit within the clear box office ceiling for “Star Trek” feature films.

Far from complaining, everyone seems to relish the challenge. Visual effects supervisor Jason Zimmerman says that “working with Alex, the references are always at least $100 million movies, if not more, so we just kind of reverse engineer how do we do that without having to spend the same amount of money and time.”

The workload doesn’t seem to faze him either. “Visual effects people are a big, big ‘Star Trek’ fandom,” he says. “You naturally just get all these people who go a little bit above and beyond, and you can’t trade that for anything.”

In one of Kurtzman’s several production offices in Toronto, he and production designer Matthew Davies are scrutinizing a series of concept drawings for the newest “Star Trek” show, “Starfleet Academy.” A bit earlier, they showed me their plans for the series’ central academic atrium, a sprawling, two-story structure that will include a mess hall, amphitheater, trees, catwalks, multiple classrooms and a striking view of the Golden Gate Bridge in a single, contiguous space. To fit it all, they plan to use every inch of Pinewood Toronto’s 45,900 square foot soundstage, the largest in Canada.

But this is a “Star Trek” show, so there do need to be starships, and Kurtzman is discussing with Davies about how one of them should look. The issue is that “Starfleet Academy” is set in the 32nd century, an era so far into the future Kurtzman and his team need to invent much of its design language.

“For me, this design is almost too Klingon,” Kurtzman says. “I want to see the outline and instinctively, on a blink, recognize it as a Federation ship.”

The time period was first introduced on Season 3 of “Discovery,” when the lead character, Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green), transported the namesake starship and its crew there from the 23rd century. “It was exciting, because every time we would make a decision, we would say, ‘And now that’s canon,’” says Martin-Green.

“We listened to a lot of it,” Kurtzman says. “I think I’ve been able to separate the toxic fandom from really true fans who love ‘Star Trek’ and want you to hear what they have to say about what they would like to see.”

By Season 2, the “Discovery” writers pivoted from its dour, war-torn first season and sent the show on its trajectory 900-plus years into the future. “We had to be very aware of making sure that Spock was in the right place and that Burnham’s existence was explained properly, because she was never mentioned in the original series,” says executive producer and showrunner Michelle Paradise. “What was fun about jumping into the future is that it was very much fresh snow.”

That freedom affords “Starfleet Academy” far more creative latitude while also dramatically reducing how much the show’s target audience of tweens and teens needs to know about “Star Trek” before watching — which puts them on the same footing as the students depicted in the show. “These are kids who’ve never had a red alert before,” Noga Landau, executive producer and co-showrunner, says. “They never had to operate a transporter or be in a phaser fight.”

In the “Starfleet Academy” writers’ room in Secret Hideout’s Santa Monica offices, Kurtzman tells the staff — a mix of “Star Trek” die-hards, part-time fans and total newbies — that he wants to take a 30,000-foot view for a moment. “I think we need to ground in science more throughout the show,” he says, a giant framed photograph of Spock ears just over his shoulder. “The kids need to use science more to solve problems.”

Immediately, one of the writers brightens. “Are you saying we can amp up the techno-babble?” she says. “I’m just excited I get to use my computer science degree.”

After they break for lunch, Kurtzman is asked how much longer he plans to keep making “Star Trek.” 

“The minute I fall out of love with it is the minute that it’s not for me anymore. I’m not there yet,” he says. “To be able to build in this universe to tell stories that are fundamentally about optimism and a better future at a time when the world seems to be falling apart — it’s a really powerful place to live every day.”
