With its characters taking on key roles in subsequent and related projects, the events surrounding Star Trek across The Next Generation and Voyager have been integral parts of the franchise’s canon since their inception. But for those craving more stories central to its continuity, it’s perhaps been a decent wait for something truly exciting and novel. Now, confirmed at San Diego Comic-Con 2026 following its recent May announcement, Star Trek has a brand-new story dropping tomorrow, July 26, Recollection: A Star Trek Story.
Written by New York Times bestselling author Sam Maggs (Critical Role: The Mighty Nein Origins, Fangirl) and illustrated by Kisai Entertainment, Recollection promises a deep space thriller coming to the Webtoon webcomic platform. It’s the second recent new release alongside Stargazers, with this series following an amnesiac woman waking up, stranded in deep space, with no recollection of how she got there, or who else is trapped alongside her.
Recollection: A Star Trek Story Is The Latest Thriller For Voyager &TNG Fans To Check Out
Confirmed at July 25’s Webtoon panel, Star Trek and Paramount were among the multiple partners alongside the webcomic giant showing their latest upcoming new releases. ScreenRant was in attendance for the event which confirmed the series would pack plenty of mystery as the main character, currently known as Early, wakes up on a Federation vessel with six other passengers and a holopilot, Jaid, who seems to be concealing the full truth from them.
Subsequent glimpses from Inverse’sreveal alongside the panel showcase each of the new characters joining for Recollection: A Star Trek Story. Joined by humans currently known as the Dean and Accel, as well as Remembrance, an Aenar, Tank, an Orion, and Diz, a Trill, Early must resolve the mystery of what’s brought them together on this vessel, where they are headed, and whether these fellow passengers are equally trustworthy.
A huge fan of Star Trek: Voyager in particular, Maggs appears to be setting up this character for her very own spin on the “Janeway retaking the Voyager” moment, while series editor Sarah Gaydos teased love triangles and plenty of messy personal drama ahead at the panel. Given the glimpses at the panel and via Maggs’ social media, it appears there’s plenty of tension, good and bad, felt between Early, Accel, and Remembrance.
Star Trek’s New Webcomic Will Drop Tomorrow On Webtoon
Perhaps the most significant presence in the world of vertical scrolling webcomics, Webtoon’s impressive offerings span their incredibly popular Korean manhwa series, many of which get extremely popular adaptations on streaming services like Netflix, and beyond. Star Trek is far from the only property to feature on the platform, with Godzilla, Sonic the Hedgehog, and most recently the reformatted Stranger Things comics from Dark Horse have featured their stories for its enormous reader base. Recollection: A Star Trek Story is set to drop its first installments on July 26, 2026, while Stargazers continues its weekly run.

01
The USS Enterprise is the most iconic starship in science fiction. What is the registry number of Captain Kirk’s original Enterprise from The Original Series?
✓ Correct! NCC-1701 is the registry of Kirk’s original Constitution-class Enterprise. The “-D” suffix belongs to Picard’s Galaxy-class ship, NX-01 is Archer’s Enterprise, and NCC-74656 is Voyager.
✗ Red alert! The answer is NCC-1701. Kirk’s original Constitution-class Enterprise carried this now-legendary registry. NCC-1701-D is Picard’s Enterprise from TNG, NX-01 is Captain Archer’s, and NCC-74656 belongs to Voyager.
02
Kirk’s most trusted officer is a half-human, half-Vulcan science officer famous for his logic and iconic salute. Who is this legendary character?
✓ Correct! Mr. Spock, played by Leonard Nimoy, is the half-Vulcan science officer whose “Live long and prosper” salute became a cultural icon. His struggle between logic and emotion defines the heart of the Original Series.
✗ Red alert! The answer is Spock. Data is an android from TNG, Tuvok is Voyager’s Vulcan tactical officer, and Sarek is Spock’s Vulcan father. Only Spock is the half-human, half-Vulcan first officer of Kirk’s Enterprise.
03
Starfleet’s most important regulation forbids interference with the natural development of alien civilizations. What is this guiding principle called?
✓ Correct! The Prime Directive (also known as General Order 1) is Starfleet’s most sacred law. It prohibits interfering with less-developed civilizations — though Kirk, Picard, and Janeway have all famously bent or broken it when lives were at stake.
✗ Red alert! The answer is the Prime Directive. While “General Order One” is technically another name for it, the Prime Directive is the universally known term. The Omega Directive and Temporal Accord are separate, more specialized Starfleet protocols.
04
“Resistance is futile.” This chilling declaration belongs to a cybernetic collective that assimilates entire civilizations into its hive mind. What is this fearsome species called?
✓ Correct! The Borg are Star Trek’s most terrifying villains — a hive-mind collective that forcibly assimilates species and technology. Captain Picard was famously assimilated and transformed into Locutus in the landmark TNG episode “The Best of Both Worlds.”
✗ Red alert! The answer is the Borg. The Dominion is the Gamma Quadrant empire from DS9, the Romulans are a rival empire, and Species 8472 is actually one of the few species that the Borg themselves fear. Only the Borg declare “Resistance is futile.”
05
Captain Jean-Luc Picard commands the Enterprise-D in The Next Generation and later received his own series, Star Trek: Picard. Which acclaimed actor portrays him?
✓ Correct! Sir Patrick Stewart brought gravitas, Shakespeare, and Earl Grey tea to the captain’s chair for seven seasons of TNG, four films, and three seasons of Star Trek: Picard. His “Make it so” is one of TV’s most iconic catchphrases.
✗ Red alert! The answer is Patrick Stewart. William Shatner plays Captain Kirk, Avery Brooks is Captain Sisko on Deep Space Nine, and Scott Bakula captains the NX-01 Enterprise. Only Sir Patrick Stewart portrays the legendary Jean-Luc Picard.
06
Starfleet vessels travel faster than light by bending space around them using a matter-antimatter reaction. What is this propulsion system called?
✓ Correct! Warp Drive is the standard faster-than-light propulsion in Star Trek, powered by dilithium-regulated matter-antimatter reactions. Zefram Cochrane invented it in 2063, which led to humanity’s first contact with the Vulcans.
✗ Red alert! The answer is Warp Drive. Transwarp is an advanced Borg technology, Slipstream is an experimental quantum drive, and the Spore Drive uses mycelial network navigation (from Discovery). Standard Starfleet vessels use Warp Drive.
07
At Starfleet Academy, cadets face a notorious no-win scenario designed to test their character under impossible circumstances. James Kirk is the only cadet who ever beat it — by cheating. What is this test called?
✓ Correct! The Kobayashi Maru is an unwinnable rescue simulation that tests how cadets handle certain death. Kirk reprogrammed it so he could win — earning a commendation for original thinking. It was memorably featured in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
✗ Red alert! The answer is the Kobayashi Maru. The Corbomite Maneuver is a TOS episode, not an Academy test. The Kobayashi Maru is the famous no-win scenario that Kirk defeated by reprogramming the simulation — because he doesn’t believe in the no-win scenario.
08
In the widely regarded greatest Star Trek film, a genetically enhanced superhuman from Earth’s past seeks revenge against Captain Kirk. “KHAAAAN!” Who is this iconic villain?
✓ Correct! Khan Noonien Singh, played by Ricardo Montalbán, is Star Trek’s greatest villain. First appearing in the TOS episode “Space Seed,” he returned in The Wrath of Khan (1982) for a devastating revenge plot that cost Spock his life.
✗ Red alert! The answer is Khan Noonien Singh. General Chang is a Klingon from Star Trek VI, Q is TNG’s omnipotent trickster, and Gul Dukat is DS9’s Cardassian antagonist. Only Khan inspired Kirk’s legendary scream across the cosmos.
