I thought it might be fun for us to have a fictional thought experiment! This coming summer, 2019, will be 20 years since DS9 finished its run. We know that there's a new Picard-centric TV series in the pipe, but aside from Nemesis and a few brief glimpses in Voyager and the 2009 film, we really haven't seen the Prime universe since the end of the Dominion War.
When DS9 ended in 1998-99 TV season, the in-universe year was 2375. So I put it to you, GW Trekkies: What does the Star Trek galaxy look like now, in 2018-19 TV season, 20 years later? What events do you think have elapsed in the intervening years? What galactic powers have become dominant? Who has become subservient? Who has allied with who? Who has gone to war with who? Has galactic exploration become a priority again, or has it continued to take a backseat to 'local' affairs for the last two decades?
What do you think? Have fun with it!
