The crew of the U.S.S. Cerritos is back in a new ongoing comic series that's a big, fun adventure from the hit TV show Star Trek- Lower Decks. The crew of the U.S.S. Cerritos is back in a new ongoing comic series that's a big, fun adventure from the hit TV show Star Trek- Lower Decks. First up, a mysterious ghost ship appears just in time, as Mariner is becoming increasing frustrated by the lack of thrills aboard the Cerritos! The thrill level increases significantly when the team is beamed onto an equally mysterious surface of an unknown world populated by an alien race that wishes to learn more about mentorship...through a battle royale! Enter Jadzia Dax, Montgomery Scott, Kathyrn Janeway, T'Pol, and Jean-Luc Picard as the mentors and the Lower Deckers as the mentees! The Cerritos' next mission is a supply run to Tavela Minor, but they first need to stop by the Alecto system to get some supplies to, uh, supply them with. However, just before they warp, they see the Alecto system isn't only missing; it doesn't exist. Like at all. Now they have a space mystery at hand- What could cause a whole star system to disappear Then, suspicious after the Cerritos docks for its second baryon sweep in the same year, Mariner sneaks into a command meeting. There, the Department of Temporal Investigations tasks the crew with finding a time traveler who is rewriting Federation history at an alarming rate. Mariner finds her friends and tells them what's really going on...only for the timeline to change around them! Obviously, something has gone wrong with Command's mission, and per usual, it's now up to Mariner, Tendi, Rutherford, and Boimler to save the day! Volume 1 collects issues #1-6 of the new ongoing series.
