USS Prodigy Won’t Repeat Star Trek: DS9’s Valiant Tragedy

Red Squad showed the dark side of Starfleet Academy

Star Trek : Prodigyseason 2 ’s endingis an pick up jar of Starfleet optimism that sets up what ’s poise to be an epic novel dangerous undertaking . But whatever happens next to the USS Prodigy and its heroic young gang , don’t expectStar Trek : Prodigyseason 3 to reverberate what happened in Star Trek : Deep Space Nine time of year 7 ’s episode , " Valiant,“when Ensign Nog ( Aaron Eisenberg ) and Jake Sisko ( Cirroc Lofton ) found themselves aboard the ill-starred USS Valiant under the command of Red Squad . For one thing , the USS Prodigy ’s mission is to explore , while the USS Valiant was on an exercise to go behind foe stemma during the Dominion War .

Red Squad was filled with hubris and the mistaken belief they can do no wrongfulness .

Red Squad was symbolic of thedark side of Starfleet Academy . While Red Squad ’s member were the best and hopeful plebe of their Academy class , being separated from other students , given special privileges , and hold above as"elite"had a deleterious impression on Red Squad . Unlike the USS Prodigy ’s gang , who make mistake but take responsibility and rise above , Red Squad ’s plebe were exemplified by hubris and the false belief they can do no damage . The result of their heady action was the destruction of the USS Valiant and the death of every Red Squad extremity except one , Dorian Collins(Ashley Brianne McDonogh )

Why USS Prodigy’s Crew Will Succeed Where DS9’s Red Squad Failed

Prodigy’s kids are no Red Squad

Gwyndala , Dal R’El , and the Ensigns of the USS Prodigy are made of the proper stuff and they are wholly different from Red Squad . The ragtag immature heroes ofStar Trek : Prodigydreamed of being in Starfleet , and they wholeheartedly believe in its ideals . Nothing come easily for Dal , Gwyn , Rok - Tahk , Murf , Zero , and Jankom Pog , and as former tiddler slaves on Tars Lamora , they could not have fare from humbler beginnings . But with their combine talents and their boundless optimism , the crew of the USS Prodigy have already saved the galaxy twice , andthey’re the best representatives Starfleet could need forin the aftermath of the Mars Attack of 2385 .

Red Squad participate in a coup d’etat effort by Admiral Layton .

The crew of the USS Prodigy also benefited from the best potential mentor : Admiral Janeway / Hologram Janeway , Captain Chakotay ( Robert Beltran ) , The Doctor ( Robert Picardo ) , and Wesley Crusher . Red Squad did n’t have such Starfleet exemplars as part role model . InStar Trek : Deep Space Nineseason 4 , Red Squad take part in a coup d’etat endeavour byAdmiral Layton ( Robert Foxworth ) , and the elect cadet put up without heroic Captains like Benjamin Sisko ( Avery Brooks ) or Jean - Luc Picard ( Patrick Stewart ) as their wise man . Star Trek : Prodigy ’s young heroes are nothing like Red Squad ; the USS Prodigy ’s gang are already far above and beyondStar Trek : Deep Space Nine ’s tragic cadets , and wo n’t double their grave mistakes .
