Kate Mulgrew Announced for Star Trek: Prodigy

Article arrow_drop_down

In a surprise announcement from the Star Trek Universe, it’s been announced that Captain Janeway herself is returning in animated form to take the big chair once again for Star Trek Pirodigy.

Described as a show focusing on lawless teens finding an ancient Starfleet vessel and learning to explore the universe, it was a curious note of how these youngsters discovered the Starfleet way and now we have the answer.

“I have invested every scintilla of my being in Captain Janeway, and I can’t wait to endow her with nuance that I never did before in Star Trek: Prodigy.” Mulgre noted in the announcement, “How thrilling to be able to introduce to these young minds an idea that has elevated the world for decades. To be at the helm again is going to be deeply gratifying in a new way for me.”

“Kate’s portrayal of Captain Janeway is truly iconic, and has resonated with a global audience for many years,” Ramsey Naito, President, Nickelodeon Animation added. “We can’t wait to see her bring this character to life in a whole new way, while continuing to be an inspiration for both new and loyal fans.”

Star Trek Prodigy is a new animated series coming to Nickelodeon in 2021. The show follows a rag tag crew who find an abandoned Starfleet ship and learn the explore the universe, discovering the Starfleet way. How Captain Janeway fits in? We have no idea! Last we saw Janeway, she was an Admiral issuing orders in Nemesis, taking a desk job after the finale of Voyager. Either this show takes place between that return and her promotion, or this return is an Emergency Command Hologram designed in her image teaching these youngsters.

Whatever the reason, we’ll find out in 2021 and are really curious to how it’ll all work out with a more balanced writing team behind her return!

Mark Mitchell; 1969-2026

It's with great sadness we report that our Director of Operations, Mark Mitchell, has sadly passed away suddenly earlier this week. Mark was one of our longest serving members and a huge part of what helped shape what SFCQ2 is today. Having served in leadership as a CO, throughout fleet support and originating the role of Director of Administration, Mark's unyielding dedication to the club and his multiple contributions over the decades undoubtedly make him worthy of his Legend handle. From writing the entire base for our modern Academy to being vital in the fleet restructure, to offering support and advice to countless members to support leadership and direction, Mark's efforts serve, and will likely continue to serve, as the backbone of everything that makes Q2 with his primary goal always being to offer the best of everything and push […]

A Fistful of ‘Spirk’

We've been spoiled with Spock in the past few years with Discovery introducing a younger iteration of the character long before he became the refined man of logic that made him famous, and continued that story through Strange New Worlds and his time under Captain Pike's command. As Strange New Worlds continues, giving more history to the original series line up and the early meetings of Spock and Kirk as it makes way for the beginning of the Kirk era, we thought we'd look back at some moments that made the partnership one of the most popular combinations in science fiction. JOURNEY TO BABEL TOS Season 2 Spock's got a bit of an issue with sharing. Secret brother who was shunned. Secret sister who's fate was classified. And despite trusting the Enterprise crew with his life, it was clearly only […]

[Q2&A] Membership Handbook: Revised & Updated for 2026

With over fifty years (and counting) of history, joining SFC can sometimes be a whirlwind and while we're always focused on a more casual experience, tit can sometimes be overwhelming knowing where to start. While we offer our Academy as an induction tour of Quadrant 2's organisation and structure, and are always open to expanding more information in the Fleet Database, our Officers Pack gives you a one stop resource to highlight our core policies, membership information and more; The Membership Handbook/ Membership within Q2 is fairly laid back.
