From Star Trek official site: On September 8, 1966, Gene Roddenberry introduced audiences to a world that championed diversity, inclusion, acceptance, and hope. This Star Trek Day join us on our global mission to “take the chair and make an impact” in our communities.

The show is a spinoff of Star Trek: Discovery and another prequel to the original Star Trek.
