-Nemesis Beverly Crusher
-TV era Miles O'Brien
-TV era Olysaa Ogawa

And exclusively from Previews - Ro Laren.

D.C. Fontana comics on the way

In an interview with TrekMovie.com D.C. Fontana has confirmed she is working on a new Star Trek comic miniseries which the ever resourceful website has confirmed from IDW will be going ahead.

The series will be a five part story arc continuing on from IDW's Year Four series and will be featuring Arex but maybe not M'Ress.

That will be co-written by Derek Chester, as will a new Star Trek novel Fontana is working on, also set in the classic TOS era. The site also reports Fontana has approached Paula Block about reworking the cancelled computer game she wrote "Secrets of Vulcan Fury" into a novel.

You can read the full original interview here.

Ships of the Line 2008

Calendars.com have a listing and cover for next years Ships of the Line calendar.
They also have the backcover:

I see images from "Regeneration", "Storm Front", "More Tribbles, More Troubles" and the "Trouble with Tribbles" as well the cover image from last year's Ships of the Line book, a D7 chasing a TOS shuttlecraft through an ice field (reminiscent of a recent New Voyages episode), a Borg cube attacking Voyager, a TNG shuttlecraft, TOS Enterprise in spacedock, a Dominion War battle and a battle-damaged Enterprise NX-01. I can’t figure what the remaining two are.

Amazon also have a cover up, though that appears to be half of one of the images from last year's calendar:

The calendar should be shops next month.
