Star Trek: Prodigy Reveals Starfleet Academy Still Has TNG’s Nova Squadron

The elite group of cadets wasn’t disbanded after the events of TNG: “The First Duty”

Star Trek : The Next genesis ’s season 5 episode " The First Duty " depicted Wesley Crusher ( Wil Wheaton ) as a plebe at Starfleet Academy . Wes is shown to be a fellow member of an elite squadron of cadets called the Nova Squadron . This team is responsible for the recent death of one of their own afterNova Squadron ’s forbidden maneuverbackfires . Still , theirstatus above other cadets pass on them special privilege and valuation reserve . The squadron ’s leader , Nick Locarno ( Robert Duncan McNeill ) , tries to convince Wesley to consist but finally takes the crepuscle for their teammate ’s end .

Robert Duncan McNeill would later encounter Lieutenant Tom Paris inStar Trek : Voyager .

At the origin of the 20 - episode running ofStar Trek : Prodigyseason 2 , Dal R’El ( Brett Gray ) and the untried gang of the USS Protostar travel along the orders ofVice Admiral Kathryn Janeway(Kate Mulgrew ) to link the crew of the newly - build Lamarr Class USS Voyager - A. Dal , Zero ( Angus Imrie ) , Rok - Tahk ( Rylee Alazraqui ) , Murf ( Dee Bradley Baker ) , and Jankom Pog ( Jason Mantzoukas ) like a shot encounter Maj’el and Nova Squadron , who are cold and dismissive to Admiral Janeway ’s endorsement officers . So , Starfleet Academy still gear up some cadets above the others as ' elite ' despite the proven mistakes that can come of that , as seen inStar Trek : The Next contemporaries .

Captain Picard in front of Star Trek’s Red Squad and Nova Squadron

Will Star Trek ’s new show have its own thirty-second century answer to TNG ’s Nova Squadron , or does such elitism go against Starfleet Academy ’s core value ?

Why Starfleet Academy Elite Squadrons Are A Mistake

Why does Starfleet even have elite groups of cadets in the first place?

Starfleet is an explorative organization meant to elevate the United Federation of Planets ' cognition about the Galax urceolata and harbor peace , sowhy does its school actively pit students against each other ? Nova Squadron fromStar Trek : The Next GenerationandProdigyandStar Trek : Deep Space Nine ’s Red Squad both seem to jar with the principles of Starfleet by site " elite " cadets above other students . WithStar Trek : Prodigyfocusing so heavily on the ropiness of the Federation and the need for more teamwork , the inclusion of such a factious chemical group of cadets might be a big mistake .

There might be Bob Hope for Starfleet ’s elect squadron to bear witness themselves as nobler than their predecessors .

However , just like Wesley Crusher and the original Nova Squadron come to terms with their own mistakes , Maj’el and her squad work intimately with Dal and the respite ofStar Trek : Prodigy ’s primary group of misfit - turn - heroes in season 2 . This teamwork meansthere might be Leslie Townes Hope for Starfleet ’s elite squadron to shew themselves as nobler than their predecessors . Because it ’s roll in the hay to excel at find positively charged mind-set regarding direful situation and explore the good in even the unfit of characters , if anyone can redeemStar Trek : The Next Generation ’s misapprehension , it’sStar Trek : Prodigy .
