It turns out CBS' "Star Trek Discovery" will NOT be set subsequent to Kathryn Janeway's adventures in the Delta Quadrant.
In fact, "Star Trek Discovery" will be set before Kirk and Spock's adventures in the Alpha Quadrant.
“There’s a big clue in the number of the ship [NCC-1031] that indicates when we’re set,” “Star Trek Discovery” showrunner Bryan Fuller just told me over Monday-afternoon coffee in the Beverly Hilton’s Circa 55 poolside restaurant.
So.
Given that the Kirk-Spock Enterprise has a higher registry number of NCC-1701, I’ll declare now that CBS’ new “Star Trek Discovery” adventures are set before Kirk, Spock, McCoy and Scotty started hanging out together on the Enterprise.
I also asked Fuller about Starfleet’s super-secret black ops operation Section 31 (the one depicted in “Deep Space Nine,” “Enterprise” and “Into Darkness”). Is it a coincidence that the Discovery has that “31” at the end of its registry number?
“There are aspects of our first season that, depending on how well versed you are in that mythology, you could either read into it a connection," said Fuller, "or not."
Keep your eyes glued to the Internet on Aug. 10; Fuller says he’s going to “spoiler it up” during the “Star Trek” panel on that penultimate day here at the Television Critics Association summer press tour.
I'll believe it when I see it. This is one guys supposition. Until I hear more from the production staff itself, I'm not believing much.Graham Kennedy wrote:Source

It's not the reporter's supposition. The showrunner TOLD the reporter that the registration number was correlated to the time frame of the show.Sonic Glitch wrote:I'll believe it when I see it.

The showrunner said th registry number was a hint. At this point for all I know it could be set in the 31st century since the number is 1031. All I'm saying is I'm just waiting for a declarative statement from Fuller or the production staff, no vague hints to one online journalist.Mikey wrote:It's not the reporter's supposition.
