Ahead of this evening’s newest Star Trek: Discovery episode, “Vaulting Ambition,” a few new images from the set have made their way online, along with two short clips from the next chapter of the Discovery Mirror Universe story.
Episode writer Jordon Nardino shared these two set photos on Twitter, one of the massive Terran Empire logo adorning the walls of Emperor Georgiou’s imperial flagship, as well as a close look at the I.S.S. Discovery dedication plaque.

It’s the day of the show y’all#StarTrekDiscovery Ep12
How about a glimpse behind the scenes, sitting in my camera roll for monthsssss just waiting to meet you? Like this poorly lit pic of the Faux Mirror Disco’s registry plaque. pic.twitter.com/wEwgsmQvca— Jordon Nardino (@jnardino) January 21, 2018
The Latin quote on the plaque reads “Facile intelligere semel invento sunt oninia quae vera sunt, sed quae sunt difficilis quaestio est deprehendere,” which looks to be a near translation of the same quote used in the prime universe, “All things can be understood once they are discovered; the point is to discover them.”
