For the first time since the the show was announced in October 2018, we’ve finally got the first real details about the upcoming animated series Star Trek: Lower Decks, thanks to today’s Enter the Star Trek Universe panel at San Diego Comic Con.

Series co-creator and showrunner Mike McMahan was on hand to lead the Lower Decks section of the event, where he debuted the first details on the cast and crew of the upcoming animated show, where four primary characters — all ranked as ensigns — serve aboard a very unimportant Starfleet vessel in the year 2380, just after Star Trek: Nemesis.

Tawny Newsome plays Ensign Mariner.

Jack Quaid plays Ensign Boimler, a very book-smart character who always wanted to be a captain — but while he can always pass his exams with ease, he’s not so hot when it comes to shipboard responsibilities.

Noel Wells plays Ensign Tendi — a huge fan of the Starfleet service. She works in sickbay aboard ship, and the series starts during her first few days aboard the .

Meanwhile, the command crew of the Lower Decks starship — the USS Cerritos, a new Starfleet design, called the California-class — is Captain Freeman (Dawan Lewis), Commander Ransom (Jerry O’Connell), Lieutentant Shax (Fred Tatasciore), and Dr. T’ana (Gillian Vigman), who is a Caitian (like the classic Animated Series‘ M’Ress).

Dr T’ana is not good at talking to people, we learned, but solves all the scientific problems for the crew — and while a member of the cat-like alien race, she has no tail.

…and at the Star Trek Universe booth where CBS has been running a virtual transporter room for visitors to experience, a pair of Star Trek: Lower Decks character pins were available for fans to collect.

Star Trek: Lower Decks will debut on CBS All Access in 2020.
