In the final days of the Klingon War, things are looking pretty grim for the Federation. The Klingons have invaded much of Federation space and Starfleet is on their heels, fighting to hold on to what little territory they have left. And, a Klingon fleet is barreling straight for Earth.
Luckily for Starfleet, that kooky ship Discovery arrives just in time. The Discovery is fresh back from the Mirror Universe and, they've brought with them an important resource - the evil Terran Empress Phillipa Georgiou.
Georgiou makes Starfleet an offer they can’t refuse. Give her command of the Discovery and she will defeat the Klingons. They have good reason to believe her, too since she decimated the Klingons in her universe.
What’s her secret?
She used something called a hydro-bomb to blow up the core of the Klingon homeworld, Kronos. And, how does Starfleet respond to this diabolical plan? They slap a command badge on the Empress and send her on her way, hydro-bomb in tow.
In the end, Starfleet doesn’t destroy Kronos, but, they almost do and importantly, they INTENDED to. The only thing that stops them is some quick thinking by Michael Burnham.
