"Although the new series Star Trek: Starfleet Academy doesn't require viewers to know a lot about Star Trek lore, it's still deeply rooted in franchise canon. The 32nd Century and brand-new Starfleet Academy setting serve as a fresh start for Earth and its characters, but the foundation of all this is connected to the complex timeline of Star Trek: Discovery, and the legacy of Starfleet in general."
"This game is new, but it is kind of like the Trek answer to Quidditch crossed with laser tag. Teams can be stopped from scoring by a kind of goalkeeper, who takes the form of the team's mascot, complete with a wild costume. And it's here, with the Calica mascots, that Starfleet Academy is getting wacky. The War College's mascot will be familiar to some fans."
Starfleet Academy is set in the 32nd Century and serves as a fresh start for Earth and characters while remaining connected to Star Trek: Discovery's timeline and Starfleet's legacy. The third episode, "Vitus Reflux," introduces Calica, a new physical game mixing elements of Quidditch and laser tag, featuring mascots that act as goalkeeping figures in elaborate costumes. Rivalry between Starfleet Academy and the War College plays out through pranks and Calica matches. The episode resurrects classic Trek creatures, including the Mugato, and creates new creature lore with Lappy the Lapling serving as Starfleet's mascot.
