The Caretaker sent a Tellarite ship to the DQ and he's the only survivor by this time?
I wouldn't be surprised if the Caretaker or another member of his species brought at least one of the lead characters into the Delta Quadrant and that the Protostar is the first Alpha Quadrant ship they've seen in a while.
My prediction is that the female lead's father (John Noble's character) is the guy who built their kingdom of junk like the villain of Thor Ragnarok. They find out they're descendants of the protostar's crew and are returning "Home."
Advance publicity says that the show is set just five years after Voyager ended, in 2383 (so just 2 years ahead of Lower Decks). They'd have to be blatantly lying about the time frame for the crew to be descendants, and why bother? They could've just said nothing about when it was set.
Fair enough.
Now, if they're children of a crew that got lost in the Delta Quadrant, say, 20 years before and the ship was never heard from again back in the Federation that might work. The kids spent nearly two decades growing up on the other side of the galaxy never before having seen a human nor even a Federation starship, and that could explain the advanced robotic suit used for the Medusan character. Tech from the Delta Quadrant to allow a noncorporeal life form to grasp objects and manipulate the surrounding environment without inhabiting a humanoid body.
The problem being that the Janeway program is obviously important and I doubt the ship is from the future.
Redoing my theory: The John Noble character is ruler of a "Sargossa in Space" like TAS and Star Trek: Elite Force postulated with a bunch of Federation races (Tellarite, Brikar, and so on) but the Protostar is a ship they acquire separately from their marooning.

Doctor Noum is straight out of the Illuminerdi leak from December 2020 that everyone dismissed as made-up nonsense. Between Prodigy and Strange New Worlds, it seems they have a pretty good production source somewhere (or did in late 2020).
Something something stopped clocks...
Interesting, a Ferengi named Nandi, there's a Ferengi ship class in STO called 'Nandi'.

Bonnie Gordon, the voice of the computer, did an interview at the Women at Warp podcast:

She was so excited on Clear Skies when she was finally allowed to announce her role.
For any Canadians interested, starting on October 28, Prodigy will air Thursday nights at 6:00 PM EST, with a rerun also on Thursday nights, at 8:30 PM EST.
The premiere will be an hour, but yes, half hour episodes after that.
I thought they were releasing the first two episodes simultaneously? Does that mean we'll get 90 minutes of Trek next week? If so, sweet!
I'm more excited about this series than I ever thought I'd be when it was first announced.
I'm guessing they mean that the first two half-hour episodes will be a two-parter released back to back as an hourlong block. Sort of like how the 2-hour premieres of the Berman-era Trek shows were officially listed as episodes 1 & 2.
And of course this is with commercials, so "hourlong" means 40 minutes or so on streaming.
