The "incident" Fuller mentions in TOS that Discovery will explore

That wasn't what I was referring to.
Also that link only goes to the TOS sub forum?
You're kidding, right? First of all, the Dominion conquered Betazed, and that seems to be a major world of the Federation, so it isn't like we don't have precedent for thinking it could happen. But also, we've seen on multiple occasions that even founding worlds of the Federation seem to have little more than a couple of Bic razors dispatched from Jupiter to defend themselves with when enemies show up.
If the plot required Vulcan to be conquered, it was conquered.
Yes. Because "axanar" is a real word in an established language. So CBS can't really prevent its use except in certain contexts.
I think the incident is the breaking of the time barrier.
Or testing Worf's resolve to remain cool under pressure as Chief of Security?
Q likes to troll, certainly, but he did manage to teach Picard to look at things differently. "Tapestry" being the biggest example, though he's more subtle in other occasions. And, of course, "All Good Things" - where the Continuum decided to wipe out all of humanity (meaning the Q may have meddled in the universe in the past with other species to get them to wipe themselves out or to save them or other things, is it really mere "trolling" when it comes to the Q, even "our" Q - before or after his getting exiled? I have to say "no" to that. After all, "our" Q decides to go all Cindy Brady and tattles to Picard while offering hints in a non-meddlesome way to save the day. Trolling is meant to mindlessly annoy. Q has always had something greater involved, whether or not he's working in the Continuum's behest and interest.
Which is why the Q is the best species Trek ever came up with.
IANAL, but as I understand it CBS can't prevent Discovery from using anything related to Axanar, because DSC is an officially licensed TV show under their control.
My bad, sorry. And the correct link is this.
Um... whut. I was referring to Alex Peters being able to use the word "axanar" - nothing to do with Discovery. At least, not directly. But even if I *had* been talking about Discovery, that would still make no sense - *of course* CBS could stop *Discovery* from using the word "axanar" if they wanted to. They're paying the bills!
But, why would they?
I believe Alec tried and failed to copyright "Axanar" before the lawsuit. He can only use it as part of his 2-part Axanar fan film. Not that it's stopped himUm... whut.

I have not been following the Axanar controversy closely, but I honestly had no idea he was selling Trek branded coffee - I Googled it and the packaging makes it look like an officially licensed product - jeez....
He specifically said TOS IIRC.
So after some thinking and looking over some interviews, I'm guessing the event is not necessarily a spark that ignites the events in the show, but perhaps a result. The Klingon war..yes, but more to the point, I think the event might be the creation of the Neutral Zone, something we saw mentioned a lot, but know nothing about.
Goldsman said the story of the Klingon War was planned to cover only the first season of the series, and to end with the creation of the Neutral Zone which Goldsman described as "something that was sufficiently inexact that we can now fill in how we got there." He noted that Discovery is set in a time period that has been mentioned a lot in Star Trek previously, and that has been widely covered by previous Star Trek novels, and explained that the writers considered those novels to be non-canon, "but we are aware of them.

A Klingon neutral zone was never mentioned in the original series, that I know of. Its first mention comes from TWoK.
This interesting. They already said they've used that one TOS novel as reference, I wonder what else they've used.
It was mentioned in Undiscovered Country, yes.
The USS Saratoga was patrolling a neutral zone TVH when it came into contact with the probe, but they never said which one
