Where to listen

We Are Starfleet is back with the second part of our Starfleet Academy primer, looking at two episodes set at the Academy and with Starfleet Cadets from the 90s era of Trek. We first look at Star Trek: The Next Generation 's "The First Duty" and then Star Trek: Deep Space Nine 's "Valiant."

Mike, Ian, Craig, and Ashley consider how these early portrayals of the Academy might influence a 32nd-century look at the Academy.
