InStar Trek II : The Wrath of Khan , the USS Enterprise itself became a training vessel man by Starfleet cadets overseen by Captain Spock ( Leonard Nimoy ) .
Star Trek : The Next genesis ’s Nova Squadronpiloted their own shuttles as training vessels , when they attempted an illegal manoeuvre that resulted in a cadet ’s expiry - which Wesley Crusher ( Wil Wheaton ) and his cohort covered up . Perhaps the most notorious Starfleet grooming vas wasStar Trek : Deep Space Nine ’s USS Valiant run by the elite cadets called Red Squad .

It ’s secure to say , however , that the heroic young crew of the USS Prodigy will not make the same fault as Red Squad ifStar Trek : Prodigyseason 3 happens .
