WARNING: Contains SPOILERS for Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 5, Episode 10 - “The New Next Generation"Star Trek: Lower Decks' finale brings together the USS Enterprise-E and the USS Titan on screen for the first time in a low-key but historic meeting.Star Trek:Lower Decks’final season on Paramount+ involves the USS Cerritos investigating a series of quantum fissures opening up across the galaxy. InStar Trek: Lower Decks’series finale, Lt. Brad Boimler (Jack Quaid) receives a message from his transporter clone, Captain William Boimler (Jack Quaid), that a devastating soliton wave is heading forStar Trek’sPrime Universe.

Although Starfleet Command would usually not assign a California-class starship to take on a mission of this magnitude, they have no other choice but to rely on the Cerritos. Starfleet informsCaptain Carol Freeman (Dawnn Lewis)and her crew that the USS Enterprise-E is on its way, but will not arrive in time.Captain Freeman and her crew rise to the occasion, working together to stop the soliton waveand save the universe. Their actions result in the creation of a stable wormhole to the multiverse, and Starbase 80 takes up residence at the wormhole’s entrance.

USS Enterprise-E and USS Titan Meet For The First Time On Star Trek: Lower Decks

Both Ships Can Be Seen Docked At Starbase 80

In the climactic moments ofStar Trek: Lower Decks’finale, the USS Enterprise-E and the USS Titan both arrive after the Cerritos has already saved the day, but they remain atStarbase 80 to help transition the space station’s new importance. With its location at the entrance to the new wormhole, Starbase 80 will become a hub for missions to various quantum realities. Captain Freeman accepts a position at the Starbase, where she and her husband, Admiral Alonzo Freeman (Phil LaMarr), will supervise these missions.Both the Enterprise-E and the Titan can be seen docked at Starbase 80, but neither crew appears at the party on the station.

Captain Freeman and her husband attend the celebration on Starbase 80, as do Captain William Boimler and his crew, butStar Trek:Lower Decksonly offers a brief glimpse of the festivities.

ConsideringCaptain William Riker (Jonathan Frakes), former Enterprise First Officer, is in command of the Titan, it’s not hard to imagine that the Enterprise-E and the Titan may have met before. Still,this is the first time the two starships have been seen together on screen,and it makes sense they would both check in at Starbase 80 after the near destruction of the universe. It’s unclear whether Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) or Worf (Michael Dorn) is currently in command of the Enterprise-E, but either way, it would have been fun to see a glimpse of the ship’s crew.

Star Trek: Lower Decks' Finale Not Showing Enterprise & Titan Crews Meeting Is Disappointing

The Titan’s Crew Has Been Seen On Lower Decks Before, But The Enterprise’s Has Not

The USS Titan had previously appeared onStar Trek: Lower Decks,at the end of season 1 and the beginning of season 2. Under the command of Captain William Riker,the Titan helped the Cerritos fend off three Pakled Clumpships.Counselor Deanna Troi (Marina Sirtis) was also serving aboard the Titan, alongside her husband. It would have been fun to seeRiker and Troireunite with their friends from the Enterprise, if only in a brief scene during the celebration at Starbase 80.

Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 6 - Will It Happen & Everything We Know

Star Trek: Lower Decks has concluded its fifth and final season on Paramount+. Here’s what we know about a possible season 6.

The USS Enterprise-E did not appear onStar Trek:Lower Decksuntil the brief glimpse shown in the series finale. Despite the perfect setup for the Enterprise-E crew to appear,Star Trek: Lower Deckscame to an end without seeing Captain Picard (or Captain Worf) and his crew. Even if the actors were unavailable to lend their voices to the scene,Star Trek:Lower Deckscould simply have shown the Enterprise-E crew and the Titan crew mingling with Captain Freeman and the crew of the Anaximander. Seeing so manyStar Treklegacy charactersgathered together in one place would have been a treat for anyStar Trekfan.
