Spoilers Star Trek: Prey Trilogy - general discussion thread

That is quite a lot indeed! But well, since we're moving towards 2387 it will get problematic for the Litverse because of the destruction of Romulus and the Star Trek Online overlap. And with that specifically the legal devide between Paramount and CBS.

Also Cross Cult just confirmed on their Facebook page, that Prey is coming (at some point) and that Legecies isn't planned.
 
I don't see where TrekLit and the online game's timeline are an issue, as my understanding is that they're not in continuity with each other. The line in the sand drawn at 2387 is worrying though.
 
Yeah, STO and the Litverse haven't been lined up with each other since the start, they already contradict each other pretty heavily.
 
As I said, I'm rather new to the continuities, and since fanfics generally have their own continuity, my avid readerness hasn't been been effective in that regard.

I am interested though in seeing what happens in future with the 2387. That line is going to cause problems, especially since I'm not all that interested in reading the pre-tng time period.
 
Just because they hit 2387 doesn't mean they'll go back to a pre-TNG time period. We still don't know that they will stop the relaunch books at that point.
 
I just meant to say that from a legal point of view that year starts a real murky bit though based on where and who has the rights to what and in what sense.
 
I understand that, but I just wasn't sure why you jumped to the assumption they would go all the way back to a Pre-TNG era. There are plenty of places they could go and still stay in the 2364 (TNG Season 1) - 2387 (Hobus Supernova) era.
 
I don't think that they'll just stop publishing relaunch novels, if they sell, which I think they do. The worst thing to happen might be that we won't get lots of Romulan stories or even references but I'm sure the novel series will go on.

That's sure going to be interesting if the continue the novel continuity past 2387 without mentioning the Romulans.
"Let's try to avoid the Neutral Zone."
"Any reason?"
"Oh, you know. Stuff."
 
Or having a character forget that there isn't a Neutral Zone anymore, like Future-Picard in "All Good Things..."

(You know, if it wasn't for them explicitly referencing Romulus, the RSE being conquered by the Klingons in that timeline would've tied in really well with the Event in 2387. Maybe Spock got to the nova in time in that version of reality, and the Empire was crippled, but the homeworld was spared.)
 
Well, the Enterprise-E's crew is supposed to be exploring distant space, per the directive they received in The Fall - Peaceable Kingdoms. Maybe when the Hobus Supernova occurs, they won't be recalled to local space.
 
Something I keep thinking about as we await this series of books is what will be the state of Federation-Klingon relations after it's all over? Part of me thinks that, while it won't lead to a new cold war between the two powers, it could possibly lead to slightly increased tensions.

Or perhaps not--but I don't think the Klingon Empire will be the same after this (and I'm curious if the Typhon Pact will interfere in any way).
 
There are indeed quite a few options open, BUT please remember none of us have read the licencing agreement and it would not surprise me in the slightest that CBS will interpret the ban on using the new films (nonexistent in my opinion, god do I dislike them with regards to the "reboot" bits.) as a ban on anything from 2387 onward. This is of course highly uncertain and depends entirely on what the agreements state and or could imply.

(Yes, I'm studying to become one of those "FL's")
 
Why would the litverse people have to give a toss about STO? They are run by two completely separate teams.

It's got nothing to do with STO, it's because the litverse authors are explicitly forbidden from mentioning anything (including Romulus' destruction) that was ever in a Kelvinverse film. So that's why 2387 is a problem.

Although it is possible that the license can be renegotiated in the meantime.
 
STO has already been able to directly portray the Kelvin timeline (in a universe-hopping mission of the Temporal Cold War). If Cryptic Studios can do that, then I hope Pocket can negotiate the right to reference one bloody scene from the 2009 Star Trek film.

They have to come back sometime...

Admiral: Captain, I need the Enterprise to investigate an anomaly in the Devron system.
Picard: We'll set course right away, admiral. Has there been any response from the Romulans?
Admiral: *snicker*
Picard: What?
Admiral: Nothing...
