Only two red shirts remain. The other ten crewmembers on Mission Squawkbox have plummeted hundreds of feet to the ground, been eaten alive by giant alien insects, or been exploded into a million tiny bits by falling torpedoes. Each death has dealt a blow to Ensigns Raad's and Miller's morale... Is Starfleet really the paragon of cooperation it claims to be? Or is it willing to expend its members' lives for the sake of peace? With both Klingons and Romulans breathing down their necks, Raad's and Miller's loyalty will be tested. Are they for Starfleet? Or themselves?

Dec 03, 2025Star Trek: Red Shirts #5 brings Cantwell's subversive Trek story home with surprising grace. The finale honours the series' themes while leaving just enough room for possibilities, proving Trek doesn't need familiar faces to work. A gnarly, entertaining ride from start to finish.
