Starfleet's Internal Operational Division - Section 31's Position
Exclusive Interview: Unveiling the Sinister Workings of Section 31
Published Mar 20, 2025
Hidden in the annals of Starfleet Intelligence lies Section 31, a clandestine entity that predates the Federation itself. This elusive organization, whose existence was first referenced in shows like Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Enterprise, is the focus of the new film, Star Trek: Section 31.
Executive producer Alex Kurtzman sheds some light on Section 31's crucial yet covert role within Starfleet, explaining that while Starfleet abides by the Federation's charter, they must combat threats outside Federation space. Section 31 is the shadowy arm tasked with such missions.
Key characters in the film, such as Emperor Philippa Georgiou, are entwined in the morally ambiguous missions spearheaded by this covert faction. Born from a universe where Georgiou was a fascist dictator, she joins Section 31 along with an ensemble of misfits who seek to eliminate existential threats.
The firm hand of Lt. Rachel Garrett is the watchful eye assigned by Starfleet to oversee Georgiou's Section 31 venture, particularly considering Georgiou's questionable past. However, Starfleet's embrace of Section 31 and its renegade tactics isn’t universally accepted.
Given the murky nature of Section 31, it's no surprise that accusations of betrayal and the presence of a mole surface within the team. With trust being a luxury in the world of Section 31, loyal members are tested to their limits.
With Star Trek: Section 31 available to stream exclusively on Paramount, viewers will be drawn into a world where right and wrong blur, and the lines between heroes and villains become indistinguishable.
