New Trek Series: Conjecture & Wishful Thinking

gawainviii

If, as rumor has it, the new series is going to be an Anthology series... What I would like to see happen is:
Season 1: Earth-Romulan War (Enterprise season 5) -- Late 22d C
Season 2: Federation Klingon War (Axanar story) -- Early 23d C
Season 3: Phase II (between TMP and TWOK) -- 2270s
Season 4: Cardassian Border Wars (post TUC, pre TNG) -- Early 24th C
Season 5: STO Storyline (Not all of it, but definitely start with Vega Colony, and go through Klingon and Romulan arcs) -- 25th C

A pipedream, I know... but this would REALLY fill in a LOT of gaps in Trek lore.

Anyways, this is what I would like to see... What about y'all?

Nope, the anthology rumor has been scotched by showrunners, as well as the rumor it'd be set between TUC and TNG.​​

They've squashed just about every rumor out there...

So, we don't really have a fracking clue what the new show will be about yet.

We know it invovles a Chair and that it will in fact involve both a Captian qnd crew ;p .

We also know the writers and one director.

We've also learned that the series is entitled "Star Trek: Discovery" and that the title ship, U.S.S. Discovery NCC-1031, is going to use one of the rejected triangle-hull designs from the abandoned 1970s Phase II series.

Well, a modified version - it's not the enormous, one-deck-thick triangular slab McQuarrie came up with, but rather a sort of modified delta-wing design three or four decks thick, with most of the aft section being impulse engines.​​

Also the hull looks to be a bit more bronze than typical Starfleet grey.

Pure conjecture... but the 4-digit NCC, and the overall appearance of the ship's exterior (deflector, nacelles, etc.) make me think that Discovery is likely going to be set in the 2270s--roughly where "Phase II" was going to be, i.e. TMP-era.
