With Skydance’s acquisition of Paramount, the Trek movie landscape has shifted once again. The Kelvinverse looks to be shelved (again), and now rumors are swirling about a brand new cinematic take on Star Trek from Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves writers Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley.

So what’s changed since our Trek at the Movies panel at Trek Long Island? A lot.

We’re breaking it all down with our friend and guest Jean Kang! The studio shakeups, the creative rumors, the possibilities for Trek’s next big-screen era, and what this could mean for the franchise moving forward.

Plus, we want to hear from you. What do you want from the future of the Trek movieverse? Which stories should Trek tell next? Who should take the captain’s chair?

After seven months of exploration, discovery, and danger, the SNA crew reaches the grand finale of the Star Trek Adventures Second Edition Starter Campaign. What will they uncover in The Codex? Can they protect the ideals of the Federation when science and survival are at odds?

The crew of the Challenger has finally made contact with Dr. Urotoxa, uncovering secrets buried deep beneath an alien world. What begins as a scientific investigation into an ancient site quickly becomes something far greater: something that could threaten the very foundations of the Federation.

While the away team studies the mysterious rectangular carving pulsing beneath the surface, the bridge crew gazes into the endless storm of galactic nucleosynthetics...colossal plumes of glowing gas sweeping through the system like the arms of some cosmic leviathan. But within those swirling shadows, something stirs. A glint. A threat. A Nausicaan warship, emerging from the void.

As the crew of the USS Challenger embarks on the final chapter of the starter campaign, Commander Xanthus th’Raviq faces a difficult test. Admiral Robert April personally conducts a debriefing, questioning whether this crew is truly suited to continue the hunt for the fugitive Dr. Urotoxa.

With the Admiral’s reluctant blessing, the Challenger sets course for Federation Starbase 323, a glittering hub of trade and diplomacy at a crucial junction of interstellar commerce. The starbase’s interlocking rings hum with life, hosting everything from sleek Starfleet vessels to worn freighters. At its heart, the Galactic Galleria bursts with color and sound: vendors hawking alien delicacies, merchants bartering over rare artifacts, and travelers swapping tales in a dozen languages.

But beneath the bustle of business and culture lies a web of secrets. And somewhere among the traders and travelers, someone holds the next piece of Urotoxa’s trail.

The chase resumes… and the Challenger’s next steps may decide whether Admiral April’s doubts were justified — or if this crew truly deserves Starfleet’s trust.
