Either that or it's a large enough story to affect multiple sectors.
That could be it. Hey, we were wondering why the actor playing Discovery's captain was announced so late -- maybe the lead character starts out on Shenzhou and moves to Discovery after a few episodes. (Which could bode ill for Shenzhou, depending on how and why she changes ships.)
True, although it's not quite the same as it's half operated by civilians and I believe it doesn't go underway nearly as often.
I don't think it's necessarily obvious the Klingons and the Starfleet ships aren't in collaboration. I've guessed that they have to form an uneasy alliance for some greater goal related to the sarcophagus ship. They each have reasons for conducting archaeological surveys of the vessel and have information the others need. That could still work within the context of a Klingon/Federation cold war.
I have no idea what "the sarcophagus ship" is. But what I meant was that, since the vessels involved in the story include a Klingon ship as well as Discovery and Shenzhou, therefore the mere fact that there are two Starfleet vessels in the show does not prove that they are together in the same task force. Given that the casting news also includes an admiral and Sarek, it is possible that the story spans a wide range of different locations, rather than all the characters being together in the same place. So the two ships may be operating separately instead of being paired off. We just don't know enough to draw a conclusion either way.
In fact, given that we got casting news for Shenzhou crew before Discovery crew in a number of cases, I'm coming to suspect that the focus of the story starts on Shenzhou and later moves to Discovery, perhaps following the main character from one ship to the other.
Hmm. "The sarcophagus ship" refers to released concept art where a highly atypical, ornamental design is thus labeled. If such a ship really makes an appearance, it's unlikely to "operate" in the region of interest, as opposed to being "found" and therefore being the source of intrigue.
That the Discovery now has a designated captain seems to rule out (or at least speak against) a scenario where she would be "found" instead of being "operating", though. In any case, multi-ship fun is to be expected, and hopefully we get multiple recurring Klingon ships as well!

Personally speaking, I think the sarcophagus ship is the 'discovery' that is made, and a driver for the entire series.
And perhaps the USS Disovery is christened as such (being the ship that encounters the 'Sarcog' ship)?

Maybe it is silly, but that would still be in keeping with many elements that have been shown as part of previous Trek outings (ie: being silly).
I still feel there might be something in it...

"Hey! We've found something! We've made.... a Discovery!"
"A Discovery you say? Well, why don't we use the occasion to rename our ship, which we've already been flying around in and finding things with, Discovery!"
"Yes! let's, and tomorrow should we face a challenge, well, we can rename the ship Challenger!"
Silly.

At least eventually we'll get an Enterprise.
I want to hear why the rename the ship Atlantis.
Water landing.

Maybe one of the ship is missing after they got contacted with the sarcophagus ship, then a Klingon Vessel and the other Federation Vessel were sent to investigate it (for different purpose).
For the Klingon, they have an agenda to use the secret inside sarcophagus ship to unite the Klingon Tribes. They got information from their spy that planted inside the Starfleet Command. For the Starfleet Vessel, their mission just to find the missing ship.

In thinking about it, I really wonder if it will involve Donatu V. The battle being inconclusive and we're going to see the fallout from it.
