[ Starfleet Academy is set ] in the “ Discovery ” earned run average . There ’s a specific intellect for that . As the Church Father of a 17 - year - old boy , I see what my boy is find as he looks at the existence and to his hereafter . I see the uncertainty ; I see all the things we took for granted as given are not certainties for him . I see him recognizing he ’s inherit an enormous mess to clean up , and it ’s going to be on his multiplication to project out how to do that , and that ’s a lot to require of a kid . My thinking was , if we set “ Starfleet Academy ” in the Alcyone days of the Federation where everything was all right , it ’s not going to speak to what tyke are going through right now .
It ’ll be a nice fantasy , but it ’s not really go to be authentic . What ’ll be authentic is to set it in the timeline where this is the first class back after over 100 eld , and they are come into a earth that is only beginning to recuperate from a cataclysm — which was the Burn , as established on “ Star Trek : Discovery , ” where the Federation was greatly diminish . So they ’re the first who ’ll inherit , who ’ll re - inherit , the task of exploration as a primary destination , because there just was n’t room for that during the Burn — everybody was playing defense . It ’s an incredibly affirmative show , an incredibly sport show ; it ’s a very funny show , and it ’s a very worked up show . I recall these kids , in unlike ways , are going to represent what a lot of shaver are feel now .
Starfleet Academy is the gateway to a career as a Starfleet Officer , and Star Trek has had some graduates who made history in various ways .
