What does Star Trek Regeneration mean for the future? Then, we cut to a decades-younger Spock-Leonard Nimoy again, dressed in his uniform from Star Trek: The Motion Picture and looking as Nimoy looked in the late 1970s. When the robed figure in this video pulls back his hood, we see Spock-played by the late Leonard Nimoy, looking as he looked in the mid-1990s. But the Enterprise isn’t the only familiar sight we see in this trek back to Veridian III. Now, in a new Star Trek video titled “Regeneration,” The Roddenberry Archive and graphics company OTOY have joined forces to bring Star Trek fans a two-minute short bringing some of the salvage of the Enterprise-D to the screen. Writing for Inverse, Ryan Britt calls the plot point “perhaps the biggest nostalgia play for any science fiction franchise in recent memory.”

Nevertheless, Picard season 3 revealed Geordi La Forge spent decades painstakingly and secretly restoring the Galaxy-class starship to its former glory. No less than an authority than Jean-Luc Picard declared, at the end of Star Trek: Generations, that the vessel could not be salvaged after its crash on Veridian III. Enterprise NCC-1701-D makes a triumphant return to action. If you’ve seen Star Trek: Picard season 3, or, by this point, even if you haven’t, but are spending time online (as you obviously are), you know the U.S.S. Star Trek Regeneration, a new video, features a familiar face.
