I'm puzzled by the premise of this being the only ship to survive the Burn. I think they said in DSC that only the ships whose warp reactors were active at the time were destroyed. In a huge Federation, there would surely have been hundreds or thousands of inactive ships at that moment.

Also, the last surviving ship being named Omega is a huge coincidence, unless it was renamed to that after the fact.

I was lukewarm on everything I read about this series up until that interview; I liked the same writers' run on NYX from Marvel (I haven't read any of their Star Trek work), and the character descriptions are interesting, and play to their strengths as writers.

D’Vana Tendi has only just begun to dig herself out of the mountain of student loan debt she owes Ferengi swindlers, and already she’s feeling burnt out.

Yeah, what they said does seem to be pretty clear misunderstanding of the situation with The Burn, I'm honestly a little surprised CBS even let go through.
I had been curious about the series up til now, but I absolutely hate the art in those character design and preview pages. I'm not sure if I can stand it enough to even read the book once it comes out. My preferred art style for something like Star Trek would be stuff along the lines of David Messina or Angel Hernandez.

I'm fuzzy on the details, but wasn't it kind of implied in Discovery that all the Starfleet ships we saw were pre-Burn ships? I thought they made a big deal at one point about starting up shipbuilding again, or something like that.

Yeah, that seemed to be the gist of the season long USS Sojourner / Archer Spacedock plot.

Reading between the lines in the article, though, it says that 99% of Starfleet is lost, and that they're the last starship going out and "starshipping" - so presumably most other ships are going to get requisitioned by the systems they're in when the Burn happens and stop boldly going.

Another article elsewhere suggesting the Borg (specifically it seems the Jurati Hive) might be the Big Bad for Last Starship

What would this creative team be without the continuity porn?

I didn't see anything in the article that pointed to the Jurati Hive, though.

The Queen with the cape on the cover looked very Jurati Queen.

And the previous article said a character they hadn't announced was "One is a character from the Star Trek canon, but presented in a way that no one is expecting"

Ah, "good" Borg Queen gone bad. Okay.

I guess I was hoping for a deeper cut. Maybe Kevin Uxbridge decided this was the moment to start living again. Maybe Flint's still kicking. Something like that.

So... will ladies' man Kirk seduce her?

Hmm. Well I don’t know about anyone else, but my anticipation just lowered a bit.

I know, it’s bad to pre-judge. I will still give it a shot, but my reaction to more Borg at this point is mainly “ugh”.
