The photo above is also our first proper glimpse at the actual USS Discovery ship. According to Entertainment Weekly, the recent trailer and all previous promo photos all took place on the USS Shenzhou.
The beginning of the series will chronicle how Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) goes from the bridge of the Shenzhou to becoming first officer on the USS Discovery.
This turn of events with apparently ruffle the feathers of the Vulcans, since the recent trailer hinted that Burnham will clash with Ambassador Sarek (James Frain) over a risky mission.
Burnham has deep Vulcan connections, having studied under Spock's father Sarek as the first human child ever accepted into the Vulcan Science Academy.
"I have the Vulcan conflict in my life from Sarek and Amanda so there's always going to be that inner conflict with me," Sonequa Martin-Green recently revealed.
"But I think it's relatable because we all have some kind of inner conflict going on - who we are versus who we present ourselves to be. There's a lot to be discovered."
In the US, CBS will air the first Star Trek: Discovery episode on Sunday, September 24 before new episodes premiere on streaming platform CBS All Access. Netflix carries the show in the UK.
