Star Trek: Lower Decks Wraps Up with Issue #18, Out Today

Star Trek: Lower Decks #18

This month's issue of the Star Trek: Lower Decks comic series wraps up the current run, and appropriately features a spoof of the Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country movie poster. The Undiscovered Country was, of course, the final film featuring the entire Original Series cast, and was a triumphant send-off of that era of Star Trek. Will issue 18 of Star Trek: Lower Decks send off our Cerritos heroes in a similar fashion? Find out when you pick up this month's issue!

Official synopsis:

This special one-shot features Lieutenant Nyota Uhura. In the 23rd century, she explores far-flung star systems with her crew on the Enterprise as part of her mission to communicate and build bridges with life found across the Galaxy. But in the 20th century, humankind was working to build understanding among themselves, with African Americans on Earth championing the Civil Rights Movement and using their voices and acts of protest to end racial segregation and discrimination.

Now, by way of the Guardian of Forever, Uhura is yanked back through time to 1963. There, she’ll join all those fighting for equality and justice and reconnect to why her work as a communications officer is perhaps the most important work of all.

Official synopsis:

The Federation’s delegates have gathered. The Babel conference is on. Together, they aim to save Starfleet and bring peace to all quadrants. But while Captain Sato and the crew of the U.S.S. Omega have only experienced the passage of time as four months within their transwarp bubble, for the rest of the galaxy, it’s been 23 years.

For 23 years, the delegates have been left to their own devices, to stew in their own machinations and to make new allegiances... and while the U.S.S. Omega may have brought them all together, the Burn has forced them apart. Not all want to broker peace, and someone who was once closest to Starfleet may become its greatest adversary...
