Star Trek: Discovery’s Epilogue Makes Burnham’s Son One Of The Youngest Captains, Like Kirk

Leto has to be one of Starfleet’s youngest Captains

Star Trek : Discovery ’s finale coda flashing forward 30 years makesLeto Burnham - Booker one of the young Starfleet Captains in the style of Captain James T. Kirk . Leto was n’t born yet , nor was Michael Burnham even pregnant , whenStar Trek : Discoveryseason 5 ’s original conclusion saw Michael and Book romantically reunify on the beach at the wedding ofAdmiral Saru ( Doug Jones)and President T’Rina ( Tara Rosling ) . The oldest Leto could be is in his early 30s when he arrives to escort Admiral Burnham to the USS Discovery for its terminal mission in the 33rd 100 , so Leto is a remarkably young starship Captain - and he achieve that promotion before his female parent .

It would n’t be surprising if Michael accomplish Admiral at a comparatively young age - comparable James T. Kirk did .

Commander Michael Burnham was 34 age old when she became Captain of the USS Discovery.(Or 964 givenStar Trek : Discovery ’s time start 930 years in the future ) . Michael Burnham was born in 2226 , and Burnham was 30 when she was First Officer of the USS Shenzhou and was afterwards imprisoned as Starfleet ’s first mutineer for her role in sparking the Klingon War . reinstate as a Starfleet Commander , Michael was 32 when she time locomote to the 32nd one C as the Red Angel , and Burnham was 33 when the USS Discovery join her in 3190 . Although it ’s unknown how old Burnham was when Starfleet promoted her to masthead officer , it would n’t be surprising ifMichael became Admiralat a relatively young age - like James T. Kirk did .

How Old Kirk Was When He Became Captain Of The Enterprise

Kirk Was A Young Starfleet Captain In Two Star Trek Timelines

James T. Kirk was one of the young Starfleet Officers to become a starship senior pilot . Kirk was 32 years old when he became Captain of the USS Enterprise , succeeding Captain Christopher Pike ( Jeffrey Hunter / Anson Mount ) . Kirk ’s Starfleet vocation was already meteorological ; Lieutenant James T. Kirk ( Paul Wesley ) became the youngest First Officer in Starfleet when he became the Number One of the USS Farragut , as escort inStar Trek : Strange New Worldsseason 2 . Of course , Kirk ’s five - year mission head the Starship Enterprise was historic . Kirk was raise to Admiraland Chief of Starfleet Operations soon after , before James work 40 .

James T. Kirk broke his father , Lt . George Kirk ’s record as the youngest First Officer in Starfleet .

However , William Shatner ’s Captain Kirk was far outpace by his alternative Kelvin timeline vis-a-vis in J.J. Abrams’Star Trek(2009 ) . Chris Pine ’s Captain Kirk distort up the ranks from Starfleet Academy Cadet to Captain of the Enterprise all in the track ofStar Trek(2009).Pine ’s Kirk was only 25 when he became Captain , which happened in 2258 , 7 geezerhood before Shatner ’s Kirk became Captain in 2265 inStar Trek ’s Prime timeline . InStar Trek : Discovery , Admiral Burnham ’s son , Leto , may indeed have risen to Captain faster than William Shatner ’s Captain Kirk did , but making Captain at 25 still seems to be something only Chris Pine ’s James T. Kirk handle .
