Does Section 31 Still Exist In Star Trek: Discovery’s 32nd Century?
Could Section 31 have survived the Burn and the near-collapse of the Federation?
The portal weapon used by Vadic inStar Trek : Picardseason 3 was housed at Daystrom Station , a Starfleet black site where Section 31 ’s most serious engineering was kept off - the - books . The weapon Moll and L’ak possess do resemble those of part 31 . AlthoughStar Trek : Discoveryexplored the Section 31 of the 23rd hundred in its first two season , the show has notacknowledged whether subdivision 31 exists in the 32nd century . Emperor Philippa Georgiou ( Michelle Yeoh ) join Section 31 inDiscoveryseason 2 , but her approaching photographic film , Star Trek : department 31 , will take place in the former 24th century , also known asStar Trek’s"lost era . "
One of the most mysterious characters inStar Trek : Discovery , Dr. Kovich ’s ( David Cronenberg ) accurate role remains unclear , leaving the possibility open that he could be involve with Section 31 or its thirty-second - century equivalent .
Considering the Burn destroy legion Starfleet ship and decimated the Federation in 3069 , it seems unlikely that department 31 would be a antecedency as the Federation rebuilds . None of the higher - ups introduced so far inDiscoveryhave made any mention of division 31,even with the multiple galaxy - jeopardise events the Federation has face . The blackened securities industry appears to the thriving in the thirty-second century , however , so a covert Starfleet Intelligence governing body would probably testify useful . Star Trek : Discoveryseason 5 could still bring out something about division 31 , but perhaps the black ops organization has become a matter ofStar Trek’spast .
