Tilly in Star Trek Online

For being a cadet/Ensign, she sure gets around quite a bit.
 
It's the lighting, you can see it here

Side note, according to Eaglemoss, the Vulcan ship Sarek used was called 'Solkar' not sure if that is the class name or not. Solkar is Sarek's grandfather, and according to some Non-Canon sources, the Vulcan who greeted Cochran in First Contact.

Said it before an I’ll say it again: The House of Sarek is to Trek what the Skywalker Clan is to Star Wars...

The missions shes going to appear in take place before she joined the Discovery crew.

STO's Discovery missions are set during the time skip between Episodes 2 and 3, shortly after the Battle at the Binary Stars.

It is now.
I thought we had put TOS centricism behind us by the time ds9 got going, but apparently not. All heil the Ur trek. And poor shatner...guess he really wasnt the star after all.

It comes and goes in cycles. It moved away from TOS in the late-'80s and '90s, then moved back towards it in the '00s. The Picard Series will be the pendulum swinging the other way again.

We know more about Spock’s family history and upbringing than almost any other Trek character that I can think of outside of Jake and Nog.

When you want to re-invigorate a dying franchise, you go back to the piece everyone knows and was the best. Nothing unusual about that.

Yup. Though we didn’t meets nogs mother, whereas we have had three different portrayals for Amanda.
Spock has very much become the epicentre of Trek. It’s interesting, because it’s easy to argue that was always the case for a certain period of Trek. I think it’s fans of that period that give it the primacy, fans now working on the show. It will be interesting to see how that turns out.

I don’t think we can call it a cycle just yet...this is the first iteration. I think it’s still finding it’s feet.

I mean larger picture. This is the way it looks like it's shaping up on a macro-scale:

'60s-'80s: TOS, TOS Movies
'80s-'90s: Star Trek jumps a century in its setting --> TNG, DS9, VOY, TNG Movies
'00s-'10s: Star Trek goes pre-TOS, then works its way back up to it and parallel --> ENT, DSC, Kelvin Movies
'20s (?): Star Trek jumps back to post-TNG --> Picard Series
