Christopher Cantwell Hunts the Galaxy’s Most Wanted in Star Trek: Defiant

The recent third season of Star Trek: Picard answered questions about what became of Star Trek: The Next Generation’s central and fan-favorite characters, but it also raised some new ones as well. Perhaps the most interesting one is, “How did Worf and Ro Laren go from being a Starfleet officer and defector to two of the organization’s most accomplished intelligence operatives?” That question is currently being answered in the pages of IDW’s Star Trek: Defiant, a series set before the 2002 film Star Trek: Nemesis, by writer Christopher Cantwell and his artistic collaborators.The first arc of the series, and the recent Day of Blood crossover, saw Worf and an all-star crew that included Spock, Ro, Lore, and B’Elanna Torres go rogue and steal the series’ titular ship to combat a fascist Klingon cult with designs on the galaxy. Issue #8 kicked off the book’s latest arc, “Another Piece of the Action,” where Worf, his crew, and their new Orion medical officer Nymira return to Earth, where they were disavowed by Starfleet but offered work as clandestine bounty hunters and tasked with bringing in some high-profile fugitives. In Issue #9, on sale now, Cantwell and artist Mike Feehan showed how Worf and his crew apprehended the individualized Borg known as Hugh. CBR spoke with Cantwell about his plans for Worf, Ro, Spock, and Hugh, the other high-profile targets the Defiant crew is after, and how long the book will last. IDW also provided an exclusive sneak peek at December’s Star Trek: Defiant #10.Christopher Cantwell: I spoke about this at New York Comic Con, but it feels like an incredible honor to get to write the “second act” of characters like Ro, to fill in the blanks of how she went from a Maquis separatist and Starfleet defector to a high-ranking intelligence officer back in Starfleet years later. We’re doing the same thing with Hugh. How do we get this rebellious pawn of Lore, this Borg with a sense of himself, to the reclaimed xB human in Picard overseeing reclamation? It’s incredible to fill in those middle gaps.Related: Netflix Gift Wraps Star Trek: Prodigy for Fans This Holiday Season
