Does Star Trek: Prodigy Contradict DS9’s Mirror Universe Arc?
Captain Chakotay and the USS Protostar crew find themselves aboard the ISS Voyager - A inStar Trek : Prodigyseason 2 , installment 14 , " Cracked Mirror " . The Mirror Universe ’s Janeway and Chakotay are dressed in very like Terran uniforms to those first seen inStar Trek : The Original Series . The ISS Voyager - A also has its own Agonizer , and Admiral Janeway specifically mention the New Terran Armada . All of this suggests that , in some soma , the Terran Empire is back up and running in the Mirror Universe ’s late twenty-fourth C .
There was never any suggestion inDS9that the Terrans had huge warship like the ISS Voyager - A.
This appears to contradictStar Trek : Deep Space Nine ’s Mirror Universe arc , because a few age to begin with , the Terrans were slaves and freedom fighters . The Terran Rebellion chance by Commander Benjamin Sisko ( Avery Brooks ) inDS9season 3 , episode 19 , " Through the Looking Glass " were a passionate , but scrappy , band of rebels . There was never any proffer inDS9that the Terrans had huge warships like the ISS Voyager - A.

Why Star Trek: Prodigy’s Mirror Universe Episode Isn’t A Plothole
While the Terran Rebellion may not have had a huge warship like the ISS Voyager - A inStar Trek : Deep Space Nine , the Mirror Universe did have an ISS Defiant , good manners of Captain Sisko . The Mirror Universe ’s Defiant enabled the Terrans to fight back against the Klingon - Cardassian Alliance , so that engineering could be used to build new warships . In an interview withStar Trek : Prodigy ’s co - executive manufacturer Aaron J Waltke , the writer and producer explainedwhat happened to the Mirror Universe afterDS9.Read Aaron J. Waltke ’s quote below :
So in my head , it seems unlikely that they would all just be good guys now . Especially because them make believe major reform to their fellowship with Mirror Spock ultimately , as posit in DS9 , is what allowed their society to collapse and become vulnerable to the other out-of-door force play . So we thought at least some cabal would probably be like , ‘ We have to go back to the honest-to-god fashion ’ . And that ’s how we get the Greco-Roman sleeveless shirts and the knife they have attached to their niggling holster .
Rather than contradictStar Trek : Deep Space Nine , Star Trek : Prodigy ’s Mirror Universe episode builds on the history it found . Given how the Terran Empire was separate down and enslave , it stands to reason that the smart set would indurate in their effort to keep history from repeating itself . Therefore , the New Terran Armada are a more hard tool around up version ofStar Trek : Deep Space Nine ’s Terran Johnny Reb , setting out in pursuit of the astronomical conquest pursued by their ancestors .
