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.

Live long and prosper: Sonequa Martin-Green flashed the Vulcan sign at Comic-Con in San Diego on Saturday where CBS' Star Trek: Discovery bowed a new trailer  

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.

Having a whale of a time: The actress, who plays First Officer Michael Burnham, burst into laughter as she sat next to Jason Isaacs, aka Captain Lorca

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.

Norman Reedus and Sonequa Martin-Green look ready for battle in new stills from the upcoming midseason premiere of The Walking Dead

By KAYLA CALDWELL FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

After a brutal first eight episodes, which teased the death of a beloved character, The Walking Dead is set to return with its midseason premiere on Valentine's Day.

And with that date quickly approaching AMC has released five stills from the season's six's upcoming ninth episode, entitled: 'No Way Out.'

Norman Reedus (Daryl), Sonequa Martin-Green (Sasha), Michael Cudlitz (Abraham), and Seth Gilliam (Father Gabriel) are pictured, looking forebodingly off camera, as if staring at approaching danger.

Something wicked this way comes! Norman Reedus looks nervous at something approaching from off-screen in new stills from the upcoming season six midseason premiere, airing February 14

Daryl sports his usual attire of a torn shirt, made into a tank that shows off his sculpted arms, one of which is covered in blood.

The fan-favorite biker is also sporting a bleeding wound on his head, as he is pictured standing by a truck, having been on his mission with Abraham and Sasha.

Sasha, meanwhile, looks ready to jump into action, as she can be seen giving a fearsome look as if she is sizing up someone off screen.

Equipped with her backpack, and sporting a tattered, brown shirt and light blue jeans Sasha is standing in a position of confidence as she has her hand on her gun, ready to pull it out and fire if necessary. 

Battered and bloody: The star was already covered in blood following the events of the brutal midseason finale

Ready for action: Sonequa Martin-Green looks prepared for battle as she has her hand sitting on her gun while looking forebodingly off screen 

Abraham is sporting a uniform in the still, and though he is seen sitting he is looking off screen with as much intensity as Sasha. 

Father Gabriel, of course, is not as well equipped for battle, and in his still looks more frightened than resigned or prepared.

The teaser for the upcoming premiere had shown the crew - Daryl, Sasha, and Abraham - running into a gang that worked for Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), a fearsome new villain set to join the cast later this season.x

Keeping calm: Though he is sitting in this picture, Michael Cudlitz is staring out at the scene with a fiery intensity

Speaking with Popsugar, Lauren Cohan - who plays Maggie on the show - warned viewers that of the upcoming bad guy. 

'We've seen baddies in this show. We saw the Governor, this charming sociopath, basically,' Lauren dished.

'Negan is an interesting character... there is a rhyme to his reason, it just doesn’t happen to be a rhyme that's very good for our group.'

What are they in for? Seth Gilliam looks scared as he, like the others from the stills for season six, episode nine - 'No Way Out - stares dramatically at something off camera

She teased: 'I can say that. He runs his town with a very tight rope, or with very tight reins. Yeah, so it's scary... [he's] the worst yet.'

The midseason premiere for season six of The Walking Dead airs on AMC, February 14.

'Superman, Wonder Woman, Tarzan... and Bruce Lee:' Walking Dead's Sonequa Martin-Green reveals her zombie apocalypse team

By ROSS MCDONAGH FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

PUBLISHED: 20:00, 15 October 2015 | UPDATED: 20:04, 15 October 2015

Sonequa Martin-Green may have just come up with the best idea ever for season seven of The Walking Dead.

The 30-year-old, who plays Sasha in the hit AMC show, was asked by Good Housekeeping to name her dream team to face a zombie apocalypse - and she picked a doozy.

'I would say, Superman number one. OK, so let’s go with Superman, Wonder Woman, and Tarzan. Let’s go with the three of them,' she said, before jumping in with a fourth. 'Oh no, and Bruce Lee!'

Sonequa Martin-Green, who plays Sasha in The Walking Dead, has revealed her zombie apocalypse dream team 

Happy birthday! The 30-year old spoke to Good Housekeeping to celebrate its 130th birthday

The actress explained that the Justice Leaguers were called up for their invincibility, but didn't offer an explanation on why she needed two.

Bruce Lee was sensibly included to teach self defence, but less obvious was Tarzan's ability 'to grow vegetables'.

'Tarzan knows the land. He knows nature, he knows how to grow vegetables. He understands - he’s from the jungle. He’d have to learn a little bit about the terrain of Georgia, or actually of DC, or wherever it is we would happen to be, but you know, he would be our nature expert,' she justified.

Back in the real world, the Once Upon A Time star has a very different dream team: her style crushes.

'I have style crush on a few different people, its hard to pin point one person but... there are things i loved about - I wanna say old school Rihanna but its not really that long ago - but when she had the really short cut I'd like a lot of the pieces that she would use,' she revealed.

'Janelle Monáe I like how sharp and sophisticated her style is,' she continued. 'But If I had to pick one: I'd say Lupita. Lupita is gorgeous. She's always just right.'

Fancy that: The actress also revealed her style crushes: Lupita Nyong'o, Janelle Monáe and 'old-school Rihanna'

The mother-of-one gave birth to her first son in January of this year, which meant she spent the entire filming schedule of Walking Dead's season five battling zombies while pregnant.

'Season 5 was a huge workout all on its own, because I was pregnant the entire season,' she said. 'I was able to do it, thank goodness, but that was pretty crazy. 

'The craziest thing was sitting in water for 12 hours straight. I mean, that’s even hard to say because pretty much everything we do is crazy, but there was an episode with these waterlogged walkers in this basement. Now, we got to go out for potty breaks and lunch and whatnot, but for the most part we were in that water so yeah, that was crazy.'

New mom: The mother-of-one gave birth to her first son in January of this year, and says being a mom has been a 'divine experience

Dream team: Sonequa wants Superman, Wonder Woman and Bruce Lee on the team because they kick ass, and Tarzan because he can grow vegetables

Having Kenric, named after his father, has been a 'divine' experience for the TV star.

'I just melt when you mention the fact that I’m a mother now. I feel like the experience has been so profound and enlightening. It’s made me see my husband in such a deeper way,' she said.

'It’s really been divine having someone come from you and being responsible for their livelihood, for nurturing them. My heart just melts as I speak about it and frankly I think words can’t really describe it when I try,' she added. 

'It’s almost going to make me cry. When I try to describe it, I don’t know what to say. It’s inexpressible. It’s amazing.'

Tough momma: She spent the entire filming schedule of Walking Dead's season five battling zombies while pregnant 

The other team: The TV star fancied Rihanna during her short hair days, loves Janelle's 'sharp and sophisticated' style, but says Lupita is 'always just right'
