"Released on September 24, 2025, a new IDW comic book series, Star Trek: The Last Starship, tackles three thorny canon problems all at once. The new series fully depicts exactly what happens to Starfleet right after "the Burn" from Discovery Season 3, but also brings back the alternate Jurati Borg Queen, as well as resurrecting the most famous Trek hero ever, from his untimely passing."
"At the start of Discovery Season 3, the time-traveling crew from the 23rd century learned that in the future, in 3188 to be exact, the Federation had essentially collapsed following a cataclysm that occurred a century before. The mysterious cataclysm was "the Burn," an event in which various warp cores of starships all exploded at the same time. But that event was technically an unseen prologue for DISCO's future, until now."
"The Last Starship opens in 3069, with the starship Sagan trying to broker a peace deal with the Gorn. It seems like everything is going to work out until the dilithium in everyone's warp core destabilizes, and the galaxy goes to hell. While Discovery was interested in solving the mystery of why this happened, 120 years later, The Last Starship is focused on what happens right afterward."
Star Trek: The Last Starship, released September 24, 2025, is an IDW comic series that addresses events immediately following the Burn. The narrative opens in 3069 with the starship Sagan attempting to broker peace with the Gorn. Dilithium destabilization triggers simultaneous warp-core explosions that devastate the galaxy. The series depicts Starfleet's collapse and the immediate aftermath rather than solving the Burn's origin. The series brings back the alternate Jurati Borg Queen and resurrects a legendary Trek hero from an earlier death. The comic fills the century of history between Discovery Season 3 and its far-future setting.
