Spock’s new Starfleet rank brings an original Star Trek death full circle. Spock was an integral part of the franchise’s recent god war, helping Captains Sisko and Worf turn back Kahless’ rampage. Now, as the dust from Day of Blood settles, Spock has seemingly returned to Starfleet for the first time in decades in Star Trek: Defiant #8, in a role he knows very well. There are echoes of the past in Spock’s new rank as well.
Star Trek: Defiant #8 is written by Christopher Cantwell and drawn by Mike Feehan. Worf and the crew of the Defiant are given a new mission by Starfleet, as bounty hunters bringing in the galaxy’s worst criminals. Spock takes his leave of Worf and company, However, as Worf is ready to set off, Spock comes aboard, requesting a position as science officer.
Spock Has Come Full Circle Across Star Trek’s 57-year history, Spock has held a variety of roles. He began as a science officer aboard the Enterprise under Captain Pike and later Kirk. When Kirk took command of the ship, his First Officer was Gary Mitchell, one of his best friends. Thanks to exposure to mysterious energies at the Galactic Barrier, Mitchell became a god-like being that Kirk had to take care of. Upon Mitchell’s death, Spock was promoted to First Officer.
Spock's Predecessor Played a Role in the God War Too Ironically, Gary Mitchell also played a huge role in the god war. As revealed in last year’s Star Trek #400, Mitchell actually survived his encounter with Kirk. Fans learned that Mitchell had grown and progressed, becoming far more benevolent. He was also powerful enough to create entire star systems. Unfortunately, Mitchell’s time was cut short as he was one of the first victims of Kahless and his God-Killer Array.
