Starfleet Academy: "Rubicon"

About this episode

The finale of Starfleet Academy season one explores a trial involving the Federation and its implications for Trek audiences.

The finale is here and with it, our coverage! STARFLEET ACADEMY season one comes to a close with that favorite Trek Trope: a trial! Not quite Q's damning trial of humanity, this is Nus Braka's trial of the Federation. Does Caleb Mir stand in for "Trek audiences?" How DOES a photonic skin their knee? We ask these questions and more, in this episode of WE ARE STARFLEET. The full crew of the pod is here to unpack!
