Phantasy Star: Fringes of Algo

Captain Pike, Number One, Spock, and the surviving Discovery and Enterprise crew members are legally forbidden under penalty of treason to discuss what actually happened to the ship, and everyone had to lie under oath and say "USS Discovery, NCC-1031, was destroyed during the battle against Section 31's drone fleet. Burnham's dead, Saru's dead, the entire senior staff died buying the redshirts time. Can't find the bodies because the ship exploded." The spore drive, the Red Angel, and any mention of Discovery's tenure under Captain Pike were officially scrubbed from historical records because Discovery had to go 950 years into the future to get away from an AI that wanted sentient data from Discovery's computers so it could evolve into one of those AI that wanted to kill every living thing in the galaxy. Sure, the crew were contemporaries with Kirk, but 100 years of enforcing this policy later would ensure Picard, Sisko, and Janeway never even knew about Discovery, beyond "USS Discovery (NCC-1031) was a Crossfield-class science vessel that was launched in 2256 and destroyed just one year later."

To be fair, Pike and Burnham's original plan, "blow up the damn ship," was a great (if flawed) plan, but it was a bit unnerving when the self-destruct timer hit zero and everyone was unpleasantly surprised to find themselves still alive because the sentient data silently disabled the autodestruct sequences because it didn't want to die. Going to the far future was one of those spur-of-the-moment thinking-on-our-feet plans.

On the other hand, people who have been complaining since 2016 "Another prequel?! I don't want another TOS-contemporary series, I want to see the galaxy after Voyager and Nemesis! Give us future Star Trek!" are PROBABLY gonna get their wish in Season Three!
