Episode Details:

Episode 107 – “First Con-tact” (Available to stream Thursday, January 13th)

When a mentor from Dal’s past persuades him to use their Federation cover for personal gain, they quickly discover Starfleet has protocols for a reason.

Written by: Diandra Pendleton-Thompson

Directed by: Steve Ahn, Sung Shin.

The new episode's title “First Con-tact,” a variation on the Federation’s “first contact” protocol for first contact with new species, which has also been the title of an episode of The Next Generation and one of the TNG films as well.

The released photos reveal the crew will run into a Ferengi, a first for the series, and another indication the ship is getting closer to familiar elements from Star Trek canon, as seen in last week’s episode, "Kobayashi". The Ferengi is named Nandi and could be the “mentor from Dal’s past” mentioned in the synopsis. Nandi is played by veteran voice actress Grey Griffin, whose roles include Lola, Lana and Lily in The Loud House, Daphne in the Scooby-Doo franchise and a number of characters in Star Wars games and animated series.

Produced by the Nickelodeon Animation Studio and CBS Studios’ Eye Animation Production, STAR TREK: PRODIGY is already a hit amongst Paramount+ subscribers, and had the top-performing premiere day out of any original animated kids series on the service.
