Into the Terran Empire

When part of the Protostar crew lands on the wrong deck, they step straight into the Mirror Universe and onto the ISS Voyager‑A, commanded by an evil Mirror Janeway with a bearded Mirror Chakotay at her side.

Here, Prodigy leans into classic Mirror iconography, agonizers, brutal uniforms, aggressive sexuality, and even a scarred “evil” whale in Cetacean Ops, while still keeping the tone just inside the bounds of kid‑friendly.
