Didja Know?
The Spectrum War is a 6-part
Star Trek story set in the Kelvin Timeline created by the
Romulan Nero's incursion into the past in the 2009 Star Trek
movie (starting with
"Rebirth" in the PopApostle ST chronology). It was published
by IDW as the 6-part mini-series Star Trek/Green Lantern
(2015) a
cross-over of the characters of Star Trek and those of
the various Lantern Corps from the DC Universe of comic books
published by DC Comics.
This mini-series takes place in an
alternate timeline than the one followed in the main PopApostle
Star Trek chronology
of the Kelvin Timeline.

Didja Notice?
On page 1, Starfleet Command reports to all ships that
Starbase Savitskaya has come under attack by Klingon, Gorn,
and Romulan forces. This seems to be referring to the same
starbase called Starbase 12 in
"The Spectrum War" Part
4; presumably it goes by both designations. The
Savitskaya name is probably in honor of Russian cosmonaut
Svetlana Savitskaya, the first woman to walk in space.
On page 10, Guy Gardner, John Stewart, and Kilowog arrive to
aid Hal Jordan in his battle against the Red, Orange, and
Yellow Lanterns. Gardner, Stewart, and Kilowog are all
well-known Green Lanterns in the DC Universe.
On page 11, Starfleet Command orders all ships to rendezvous
at Starbase Scobee. This is the first mention of this
starbase. It is probably named in honor of U.S. astronaut
Dick Scobee who died aboard the Space Shuttle Challenger
with six others when the shuttle exploded shortly after lift
off on January 28, 1986.
