The Klingons ambushed the blockade that was protecting the colony, and now the closest Federation ship is 84 hours away. Yours is the only ship in the fleet with a chance of getting there on time. Is the Discovery ready to jump?

When the cast of Discovery was asked about their favorite Trek episodes, shows, or movies, it was TOS, TNG, and AOS. It was disappointing to see no love for DS9.
