Summary<\/h3>\n
\n
    \n
  • Just like DS9, Star Trek: Discovery features an expansive cast of characters, including powerful Starfleet Admirals involved in the action.<\/li>\n
  • Admirals Vance and Ross share strong working relationships with their captains, unlike in other Star Trek series where admirals and captains often clash.<\/li>\n
  • Good Starfleet admirals are rare, with many portrayed as deskbound figures who forget the essence of commanding a starship.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Despite them being 800 years apart,\u00a0Star Trek: Discovery\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>and\u00a0Star Trek: Deep Space Nine\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>have one thing in common when it comes to Starfleet.\u00a0Discovery\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0DS9\u00a0<\/em>have many things in common, both good and bad. On the downside,\u00a0Star Trek: Discovery\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0DS9\u00a0<\/em>were both criticized for their darker themes by more traditional fans<\/strong>, despite breaking new and exciting ground for the franchise. On the upside, multiple\u00a0DS9\u00a0<\/em>aliens have appeared in\u00a0Discovery\u00a0<\/em>too, further strengthening the links between both\u00a0Star Trek\u00a0<\/em>shows and the wider universe.<\/p>\n

    The most notable similarity between\u00a0Star Trek:\u00a0<\/em>Discovery\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Star Trek: Deep Space Nine\u00a0<\/em>is each show’s expansive cast of characters<\/strong>. Like\u00a0DS9\u00a0<\/em>before it,\u00a0Discovery<\/em>‘s cast of characters\u00a0encompasses Federation and non-Federation species, and also has a recurring Starfleet Admiral who is regularly involved in the action. Both Captain Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) and Captain Benjamin Sisko (Avery Brooks) have strong working relationships with Admiral Charles Vance (Oded Fehr) and Vice Admiral William Ross (Barry Jenner), respectively.\u00a0These fruitful and supportive relationships between Captain and Admiral are markedly different from those in other\u00a0Star Trek\u00a0<\/em>shows<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    Star Trek: Discovery & DS9 Have Good Starfleet Admirals In Common<\/h2>\n

    Admiral Charles Vance has shown a fierce sense of loyalty to his officers since he debuted in Star Trek: Discovery season 3<\/strong>. Unlike other\u00a0Star Trek\u00a0<\/em>admirals, Vance has a collaborative approach to command, and he’s regularly seen in meetings with Burnham and Captain Saru (Doug Jones), trying to pool resources and find the best course of action. This could be down to the fact that the USS Discovery restored hope to the threadbare Federation in the 32nd century, but his loyal friendship with the reckless and unpredictable Captain Rayner (Callum Keith Rennie) suggests that Vance is always open to the input of those that he trusts.<\/p>\n

    \n

    In\u00a0Star Trek: Discovery\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>season 5, episode 2, “Under the Twin Moons”, Admiral Vance says that he and Rayner have been friends for 30 years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    Captain Sisko and Admiral Ross began working together after the Dominion had taken DS9 at the end of\u00a0Star Trek: Deep Space Nine<\/em>\u00a0season 5<\/strong>. Sisko and Ross’ working relationship became more personal, and they became friends as well as fellow officers. Sisko’s role as Bajoran Emissary did jeopardize their friendship, but it improved to the point that Admiral Ross presided over Sisko’s marriage to Kasidy Yates (Penny Johnson Jerald). Admiral Ross wasn’t afraid to get his hands dirty either, as he led the Federation’s final assault on Cardassia Prime in the closing stages of the Dominion War.<\/p>\n

    Why Good Starfleet Admirals Are Rare In Star Trek<\/h2>\n

    Good admirals are hard to come by in Starfleet, as proven by the abundance of\u00a0evil\u00a0Star Trek\u00a0<\/em>admirals. Even the Starfleet admirals that aren’t plotting with Khan Noonien Singh (Benedict Cumberbatch) or framing Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner) for murder can still be a thorn in the side of many a\u00a0Star Trek\u00a0<\/em>captain. More often than not, Starfleet admirals are deskbound figures who have forgotten what it means to be captain of a starship. For example,\u00a0Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) regularly clashed with Admiral Alynna Nechayev (Natalia Nogulich) in\u00a0Star Trek: The Next Generation<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    Picard and Nechayev’s relationship could not be more different than that of Burnham and Vance, or Sisko and Ross<\/strong>. In “Chain of Command”, Nechayev risked Picard’s life and a war with the Cardassians by authorizing defensive action in the McAllister C-5 Nebula. And then,\u00a0in “Journey’s End”, Nechayev authorized the resettlement of the Native American colonists in the Dorvan V colony<\/strong>. Unlike Vance in\u00a0Star Trek: Discovery<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0or Ross in\u00a0Star Trek: Deep Space Nine<\/em>, Nechayev had no time for the opinions of the officers below her, something that sadly appears to be the rule, rather than the exception, in Starfleet Command.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
