With Star Trek: Discovery‘s launch just a few months away, the hype machine is kicking into overdrive. On Monday, CBS released our first real look at the handheld communicators that will be used on the series.
The communicators were initially shown in the first trailer for Discovery in May.
Take a look at a few screenshots and the teaser video below.

With Discovery set approximately ten years before the events of Star Trek: The Original Series, the communicators have a similar look to those used in the original Star Trek.

Unless that’s a U.S.S. Enterprise communicator, the arrowhead logo (also known as a delta shield) is probably incorrect. The same goes for the uniform logos which we saw previously. That logo did not become the general Starfleet logo until shortly before the events chronicled in the first Trek movie. Before then, each ship had a unique logo. Of course, the makers of the show can no doubt come up with a clever write-around explanation, but I suspect they’ll just leave this continuity error hanging.
