Star Trek: 10 Secrets About The USS Discovery-A You Need To Know
5. Internal Affairs
The overall sets representing the insides of Discovery were mostly retained, although with the 32nd Century twist.
Adding holodecks to the ship was an instantly recognisable feature to fans of the 24th Century iterations of the franchise but Discovery had to take that step further on the inside just as Dening had on the outside.
As seen in That Hope Is You, Part II, traditional turbolift shafts were consigned to the past. The travel boxes were now able to move in all directions without the need for specific shafts. This may have been bad news for Picard and some kids - where would they climb while singing about Vulcans and dogs?
The implementation of the site-to-site combadge transporters would also render the transporter room of the Discovery obsolete.
In the behind the scenes video hosted by Wilson Cruz during the production of season five's fourth episode, the actor's walk around the sets showed off Captain Burnham's quarters which revealed that Sonequa Martin-Green had been involved with the aesthetics and decoration of her home aboard the Discovery, including items that were of African origin.
