Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2 returns with its second installment on Thursday on Paramount+, and the streaming service has released new photos from the episode. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 1 ended with Number One placed in Starfleet custody after learning that she’s a genetically enhanced Illyrian. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2, Episode 2, “Ad Astra per Aspera,” follows up on that cliffhanger, with Una facing trial by Starfleet and “old friend” Captain Christopher Pike by her side. You can see the photos from the episode below. There’s also a clip from Una’s court-martial hearing.
“Ad Astra per Aspera” (Latin for “To the stars through hardship” and the motto that appeared on Starfleet’s emblem before the formation of the United Federation of Planets) was written by Dana Horgan. Valerie Weiss directed the episode. The official synopsis reads, “Commander Una faces court-martial along with possible imprisonment and dishonorable dismissal from Starfleet, and her defense is in the hands of a lawyer who’s also a childhood friend with whom she had a terrible falling out.”
