Star Trek: The Last Starship, Vol. 1
A Galaxy Shattered. A Legend Reborn. A New Frontier Begins. After the cataclysmic Burn brings warp travel to a standstill and shatters centuries of unity, the dream of the United Federation of Planets collapses almost overnight. Worlds are cut off. Civilizations tumble. Chaos fills the void where hope once thrived.
Out of this cosmic wreckage rises an unlikely beacon: the U.S.S. Omega a lone vessel crewed by survivors navigating a lawless, uncharted Galaxy nearly 300 years after the fall. With no Federation to guide them, they must carve out a path through the ruins—facing warlords, scavengers, and the raw unknown.
But they are not alone.
In a desperate act, the remnants of Starfleet strike a dangerous bargain with one of their oldest enemies…in order to resurrect Captain James T. Kirk . Thrust into a future where everything he fought for has crumbled, Kirk must confront a Galaxy in twilight—and decide whether he can become the symbol it needs one last time.
Review:
Star Trek: The Last Starship is set post-Burn in the Discovery era, but we do get to see the devastation of the Burn from one starship’s point of view and eventual fallout.
This first storyline sets up a familiar foe for the Federation. And it’s an action-packed ride with intrigue. Adding Kirk to the crew was fun for a bit of nostalgia, and I understand how this far distant future needs his different way of thinking. The artwork is harsh and angular, which matches the feel of this darker series. I really enjoyed this new series and hope it continues to flesh out the crew members so we can get to know them more. I’m excited to see where this series takes us.
