"Cut to Captain Ake finding the now-grown Caleb and recruiting him to the Academy with a promise to help him find Nus Braka-presumably to exact some kind of revenge. We get to see instructors put the new cadets through their paces as they strive to be worthy of the Starfleet uniform. Love might be in the air for Caleb. And Captain Ake seems to have her own twisted history with Nus Braka."
"It's an extended sequence in which Captain Pike (Anson Mount) and his crew respond to a distress signal from another ship, only to encounter a massive space storm that knocks out almost all their systems. They decide to take a shuttle to a nearby planet to gather some much-needed iridium to power their warp drive. (Is anyone else hearing echoes of Galaxy Quest and the hunt for a replacement beryllium sphere?)"
Caleb Rosta experiences childhood trauma when armed guards separate him from his mother while Nus Braka taunts him. Captain Ake later locates the grown Caleb and recruits him to Starfleet Academy with a promise to help find Nus Braka, suggesting a revenge motive. New cadets undergo rigorous training as instructors test their worthiness for the Starfleet uniform, and personal relationships and Captain Ake's troubled past with Nus Braka surface. Star Trek: Starfleet Academy premieres January 15, 2026, on Paramount+. Strange New Worlds season four shows Captain Pike's crew facing a crippling space storm and scavenging iridium to restore warp capability.
