Star Trek: Lore War
Solicitation: The all-new crossover event between Star Trek and Defiant is here! From the Eisner-nominated writers of Star Trek, Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly; the critically acclaimed writer of Star Trek: Defiant, Christopher Cantwell; and artist Davide Tinto, Lore War #1 shows us a universe rebuilt in Lore's image. The crews of the Theseus and the Defiant scattered across the universe with no memory of who they once were-some even worship Lore as their God. Lore has won; his rule is absolute. But The Sisko remains, and there are forces who wish to remind him of his power.
The Lore War arc plays out in these issues:

Star Trek: Defiant
Solicitation: "Lore War," Part 2. On one side of the war, Worf, Shaxs, Alexander, and others who once valued honor above all have now been designed by the malevolent android Lore to uphold his dictatorial rule; on the other side, a rebel Maquis fleet, Kahless II, Beverly, Sisko, and all those who know the truth behind their current reality endeavor to tear it down with what little resources they have. But not everything is as hopeless as it seems: There are allies hidden in the unlikeliest of places and assets--like the famous USS Phoenix--that escape even the all-seeing positronic eye of Lore.

Star Trek: Defiant
Solicitation: "Lore War," Part Four. Sisko is approaching a moment of crisis: Lore is god of the universe, and the number of heroes operating outside his influence is dwindling with every encounter. Everywhere Sisko looks, he sees those he's failed. Is he really the person meant to defeat Lore and restore his timeline? Just as he is about to set down the burden of leadership... he dreams of a familiar blue light... and remembers there is hope yet in the universe waiting for those with the courage to seek it out!

Solicitation: "Lore War," Part 5. Armed with the knowledge of how to defeat Lore once and for all, Sisko and what's left of his crew scatter to the four quadrants of space. Spock, Hugh, Alexander, and Paris each set out alone on a mission to save their remaining friends from Lore's control, but none is more alone than Sisko. He's taking the fight directly to Lore in a final all-or-nothing standoff. Will he and the actions of his crew be enough to restore the universe and everyone to their rightful selves? Or will Lore win again and reset the universe as he's done so many times before?

Star Trek: Lore War - Shaxs' Worst Day
Solicitation: From the team who brought you the Ringo- and Eisner-nominated Shaxs' Best Day comes a rip-roaring ride full of clever ship high jinks, nonstop badassery, and bombastic punches... because at the end of the day, let's face it. It's not Shaxs' worst day. It's fascism's.
Shaxs had his best day, but now that the universe has been rewritten by the mad android Lore, he's about to have his worst. Starfleet has been distorted into a machinery of oppression antithetical to everything it once stood for, and Shaxs has been made into the one thing he despises most in the universe: a fascist.
Now free of Lore's hold over his mind, it's up to Shaxs to revert everyone in Starfleet back to their old selves and save the cosmos.
Drawn in Lower Decks cartoon style.

Star Trek: Omega
Solicitation: Two and a half years of comics spanning 60 years of Star Trek history, a fair few awards, and more than a few universe detonations, and it's all been coming to this...
Star Trek: Omega is the denouement of the critically acclaimed Star Trek and Star Trek: Defiant storylines, and the first glimpse at all that comes next. The crews of the Theseus, Defiant, and Enterprise set to work restoring the universe to what it should be after the evil android Lore's intervention. Each hero finds their peace in preordained or unexpected ways, with individual scenes depicted by one of Star Trek's or Defiant's mainline artists! This finale pays tribute to all those involved in the series Screen Rant calls 'the gold standard for ambitious comic book storytelling'.
