Star Trek: Starfleet Academy - Lost Contact
Solicitation: Join us for a brand-new adventure featuring cadets from Paramount's Starfleet Academy, streaming January 2026! Caleb, Genesis, Jay-Den, Kyle, and Tarima are all students of Starfleet Academy, the illustrious school responsible for the Federation's best. One day, they dream to serve as great leaders on board ships of their own, to study the cultural intricacies of sentient life amongst the Galaxy, or to go where no person has explored before. But today, their mission is simply to execute a survey simulation on a lifeless, low-oxygen planet. Or at least, it seems simple... until a huge storm cuts off their contact with their teachers aboard the Athena... and something impossible appears: an alien. Now, they'll have to work together and use everything they've learned in class about first contact to make it off the planet alive!

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy - Lost Contact
Solicitation: A massive transvectous ozone storm has hit S'Eekay II, stranding Jay-Den, Genesis, Tarima, and Kyle away from their teachers aboard the Athena! What was meant to be a routine survey simulation on an abandoned planet has turned deadly: An unknown life-form's hunting them, they're trapped in a mysterious force field preventing them from beaming out, and to make matters worse, the cadets have completely lost their ability to speak to one another... not that they were doing great at working together beforehand. Luckily, Genesis has a plan to get them out. Only no one is listening to her. And if the cadets all don't grow into their Starfleet shoes fast, their first mission will become their last.

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy - Lost Contact
Solicitation: Cadets Jay-Den and Kyle have gone missing--and if Genesis, Caleb, and Tarima weren't battling against the harsh environment of S'Eekay II conducting a search-and-rescue of one of their hastier instructors, and creating a whole new form of communicating with each other in the silencing force field around the planet, they might have noticed sooner. Now they'll need to make a choice: Wait for the Academy to come rescue them all... or go save their crewmates and friends from what surely is a hostile alien kidnapping.

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy - Lost Contact
Solicitation: Things are looking bad for the cadets: They're stranded on a desolate planet with low oxygen reserves, a hostile civilization, and a force field that's cutting off their comms to the U.S.S. Athena. After an explosive misunderstanding with the aliens of S'Eekay II, they make a run for it, carrying injured Jay-Den back to their base. His wounds are severe, and he's the only member of their ragtag crew with medical experience. If he's to survive the day, he'll need to talk one of the other cadets through his own life-saving procedure. Then, through the silence, comes a clang. Pop. The aliens are back to finish what they started. Meanwhile, Chancellor Nahla forms a plan to reach her stranded students! There has to be some way through the storm...

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy - Lost Contact
Solicitation: The conclusion to the cadets' adventure on S'Eekay II! Genesis Lythe screwed up. When she took charge of a planetary survey simulation exercise on an alien planet, she didn't know she'd be forced to contend with tech-worshiping aliens silencing her and her teammates who refuse to work together--nor that her teachers wouldn't be there as a safety net. Now, one of her best friends is injured, and despite Chancellor Kelrec's presence, the group is no closer to returning to the safety of the U.S.S. Athena. But there may be a way to turn it all around if only Genesis can trust in her team. School is in session, and she intends for everyone to make it out with full marks.
