Tilly is enthused by her posting aboard

state of learning.
As a cadet, Tilly has regular
contact with senior members of the
Discovery’s crew as part of her ongoing
training. Working closely with Lt. Paul
Stamets in the engineering department
of the ship, she comes to regard the
brusque Science Oicer as something
of an uncle igure.
As with any starship of the era,
space is at a premium aboard the
Discovery, and many crewmembers
share their quarters with a bunk-
mate. Tilly is billeted with the ship’s
Vulcan-raised xenoanthropologist
Michael Burnham. Despite their age

unlikely friendship. It’s a bond which

adventure as a Prisoner of War.
hroughout human history, the
fate of those taken prisoner by an
opposing force during wartime has
followed a predictable pattern: torture,
for information or the sadistic pleasure
of their captors; slavery and hard
labor in the cause of the enemy; and
the constant threat of death. As their
humanity is stripped from them, the
prospect of a quick death may seem
like a blessed relief.
Aboard the Discovery, Tyler’s
horriic experiences at the hands of his
captors motivate him to protect his
ship, her captain, and his crewmates
from befalling a similar fate. From
the relative safety of his new posting,
Tyler must deal with the demons he
carries from that dark period in his
life, and come to terms with how it

ICONIC DESIGNS
REIMAGINED
With more than a nod to the iconic

designs of the original Star Trek
television series, the futuristic kit
issued to the Starfleet personnel
of Star Trek: Discovery combines
familiar outlines with a
contemporary spin.
Using cutting-edge prop-making
technology, the challenge facing Dis-
covery’s designers was how to strike a
balance between a design aesthetic,
established half-a-century ago, and
props that meet the demands of a
modern television audience,
while maintaining an in-universe
sense of continuity.

HAND PHASER
Invented during the 23rd Century,
and utilized primarily for defense,
the irst phasers are a space-age Swiss
Army knife of sorts; wielded as an
energy-beam-iring weapon, as a
cutting tool for on-the-ly repairs, or
even as an energy source. In a pinch, a
phaser can even heat up rocks, helping
a stranded crewman to survive in sub-
zero temperatures.
he Type-2 Phaser pistol emits
a focused energy beam with eight
adjustable settings, from stunning a
target to complete disintegration. It
also incorporates a detachable, palm-

Two new operational props

that sits inside the casing.
