What is the plot of Star Trek: Discovery season 5?
The official synopsis for Star Trek: Discovery season 5 reads:
"The fifth and final season will find Captain Michael Burnham and the crew of the U.S.S. Discovery uncovering a mystery that will send them on an epic adventure across the galaxy to find an ancient power whose very existence has been deliberately hidden for centuries. But there are others on the hunt as well… dangerous foes who are desperate to claim the prize for themselves and will stop at nothing to get it."
Although a small gist, the synopsis offers the audience a fair idea of what to expect from the final season of the show.
What happened in Star Trek: Discovery season 4?
In the thirteenth and final episode of Star Trek: Discovery season 4 titled Coming Home a lot of interesting things happened which set the path for the show's fifth season. By the end of the episode, the forces were finally able to put a stop to the dangerous activities of the Ten-C.
After several altercations the Ten- C finally put an end to the Dark Matter Anamoly chapter. This prevented Earth and Ni’Var from getting destroyed. They were earlier unwilling to take that step as they were not aware of the huge amounts of loss it caused to the inhabitants of these planets.
