Boldly going! Sonequa Martin-Green flashes Vulcan peace sign as cast of new series Star Trek: Discovery debut an action-packed trailer at Comic-Con

It's an iconic space saga that predates 1977's Star Wars by 11 years.
And on Saturday, Sonequa Martin-Green and Jason Isaac were among key cast of CBS' Star Trek: Discovery, the latest TV iteration in the saga, at Comic-Con in the San Diego Convention Center.
CBS debuted an action-packed two minute and 39 second trailer to the delight of the crowd.

They were joined on the panel by actors Doug Jones, James Frain and Mary Wiseman along with creator Alex Kurtzman, director Akiva Goldsman, showrunners Aaron Harberts and Gretchen J. Berg, plus co-executive producer Heather Kadin.
Sonequa seemed to be having a particularly good time, roaring with laughter at one point and flashing the Vulcan hand sign that every fan will know means 'Live long and prosper.'
Set roughly 10 years before the events of the original Star Trek, the action revolves around Sonequa as First Officer Michael Burnham (referred to as Number One) with Jason as Captain Lorca aboard the USS Discovery.
The trailer shows the resurgent Klingons re-uniting the 24 great houses, leading to a cold war with the United Federation Of Planets.

Ever more disturbing fiery scenes follow as a voice over intones: 'All life is born from chaos, the world doesn't always adhere to logic. Sometimes down is up and sometimes when you're lost you're found.'
And it ends with Lorca asking his Number One: 'You helped start a war, don't you want to help me end it?'
Although this is an all new storyline that runs parallel with the rebooted film franchise, fans will recognize one character from the 1966 Star Trek - Harry Mudd.
