The article discusses the unrealisticities of the Star Trek series, "Star Trek: Starfleet Academy," which is set several years after a galaxy-wide cataclysm called "The Burn," which destroyed countless starships and led to the creation of self-protective and isolationist worlds.

The show is also about "Stfleet Academy" history, catching up with many known alien species several centuries after the last time we saw them.
