Indexer Notes

Story Consultant: Roberto Orci

In this parallel universe, everyone's genders are reversed, but otherwise they have experienced the same events as the regular Star Trek universe. Jane Kirk's mother was captain of the Kelvin, and was killed when the Narada and the older Spock traveled from the future. The female Spock is in a relationship with Uhuro, the male counterpart of Uhura. The crew recently battled Kahn (a female version), and Jane Kirk received a transfusion of Kahn's blood, paralleling the events of the movie Star Trek Into Darkness.
