Star Trek: Discovery Season 4 Director Explains Tense 10-C Negotiations
Warning: This article contains SPOILERS for the Star Trek: Discovery season 4 finale.
Star Trek: Discovery season 4 director Olatunde Osunsanmi explains the USS Discovery's first contact with the unknown species 10-C. First airing in 2017, Discovery was the first new Star Trek show since Star Trek: Enterprise was canceled over a decade prior. Clearly inspired by the J.J. Abrams 2009 reboot film, producers Alex Kurtzman and Bryan Fuller have aimed to rebrand the multi-generational franchise for a new audience. Star Trek: Discovery follows Captain Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) and the crew of the titular ship as they go on adventures across space and time.
Season 4 of the popular sci-fi show finds Burnham and her crew on a mission to stop an unknown Dark Matter Anomaly (DMA) as it tears through the galaxy, destroying the planet Kwejian, the homeworld of the captain's love interest Cleveland Booker (David Ajala). The United Federation of Planets, along with a fiercely determined scientist named Ruon Tarka (Shawn Doyle), has tracked the origins of the DMA to a location outside of the known galaxy, sent by an undiscovered advanced species temporarily named the 10-C. With Earth and the Vulcan planet Ni'Var in the DMA's path, Captain Burnham and Discovery must make a peaceful first contact before Tarka and Booker destroy the 10-C and doom billions of people.
