Star Trek: Starfleet Academy—Lost Contact #1 (IDW Publishing, 2026)

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 low-oxygen, lifeless 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!
