Section 31.
Section 31 was introduced in the sixth season of Star Trek: Deep
Space Nine just when the war seemed to be reaching a tipping point
for the Federation. Labelled as an illegal group that worked
outside of Starfleet and was accountable to no one, many fans
latched on to this story element, and it quickly became a favorite
of many. This organization would continue to crop up in the series,
and was even recently announced to have their own upcoming series
on CBS All Access.
In this episode of Warp Five, hosts Brandon-Shea Mutala and Patrick
Devlin are joined by New York Times bestselling author David Mack
to discuss Section 31. We talk about their origins, how they
changed in the Kelvin timeline, badges, and common misconceptions
fans have on the organization.
