How StarTrek's Mirror Universe found new life with help from trekonlinegame and IDWPublishing.
✖ On October 6, 1967, Star Trek: The Original Series introduced its viewers to a whole new universe in the episode"Mirror, Mirror." The episode's premise is that a transporter malfunction causes Captain Kirk and his crewmates to swap places with their doppelgangers from a parallel timeline. In that universe, the United Federation of Planets does not exist.
Scott and his brother David Tipton have worked together on many Star Trek comics since IDW took over the license in 2006. As he alludes to, something that makes the Mirror Universe appealing for tie-in media writers is that it remains relatively unexplored compared to Star Trek's prime timeline. That approach applies to how Star Trek Online treats the Mirror Universe. For example, the game's writers and designers needed to take a nuanced approach while introducing Marshall Janeway, the mirror universe version of Star Trek: Voyager's Capt. Kathryn Janeway , to the game in its most recent update.
"That came directly from CBS," Scott Tipton says."CBS worked with our frequent collaborator, J.K. Woodward, to create the Next Generation mirror characters because Next Gen was the only one that never got the mirror treatment. So CBS and J.K. came up with all these great designs visually, and then they came to us and said, 'Here they are. What's the story?' Fantastic for us. So then we could just look at what they come up with and then go from there.
With Discovery's foray into the Mirror Universe, new opportunities have arisen. Star Trek Online introduced the mirror version of fan-favorite character Sylvia Tilly, a.k.a. Captain"Killy," in the 2019 expansion Mirror of Discovery. She and Leeta are central to the game's most recent seasonal story update, Shadow's Advance.
These are not the first instances of Star Trek's expanded media delving into the Mirror Universe. DC Comics published"The Mirror Universe Saga," set between the third and fourth Star Trek movies, in 1984 . Diane Duane first introduced a version of the Mirror Universe crew in the 1993 novel Dark Mirror. Pocket Books released a whole line of Mirror Universe fiction books, beginning with 2007's Glass Empires.
"For as long as we've been writing the series, Picard has had this vision of building this armada to return the Terran Empire to glory," Scott Tipton teases."And it's been a long fight. It's been four series now. And maybe now he's at the cusp of getting it.
