Didja Know?
The Spectrum War is a 6-part
Star Trek story set in the Kelvin Timeline created by the
Romulan Nero's incursion into the past in the 2009 Star Trek
movie (starting with
"Rebirth" in the PopApostle ST chronology). It was published
by IDW as the 6-part mini-series Star Trek/Green Lantern
(2015) a
cross-over of the characters of Star Trek and those of
the various Lantern Corps from the DC Universe of comic books
published by DC Comics.
This mini-series takes place in an
alternate timeline than the one followed in the main PopApostle
Star Trek chronology
of the Kelvin Timeline.

Didja Notice?
Hal Jordan tells Kirk that his universe ended due to the
machinations of Nekron. Nekron is considered the Lord of the
Unliving in the DC Universe and head of the Black Lantern
Corps which is made up of all of the deceased beings of the
universe.
As Jordan tells of his universe's fall on pages 2-3, the
flashback shows: Green Lantern Corps members Kilowog, John
Stewart, Guy Gardner, and Salakk; Blue Lantern Saint Walker;
and Indigo of the Indigo Tribe.
On page 6, Atrocitus attacks his fellow Red Lantern, Glocon.
Atrocitus is the leader of the Red Lantern Corps in the DC
Universe.
On page 7, Glocon's friend/advisor,
Garron, tells Atrocitus that they know of no Ganthet or
Nekron. But Atrocitus has only mentioned Nekron, so how
could Garron know to even mention Ganthet's name??
Decius kills Romulan senators Vrax and Cretak (as well as
others) on page 9. Senator Vrax appeared previously in a
couple episodes of ST: Enterprise. Senator
Cretak appeared in the several episodes of ST: DS9
in the original timeline.
On page 10, Larfleeze, leader of the Orange Lantern Corps,
appears before Decius.
On page 12, Sinestro tells Chang he is from Korugar. Korugar
is the homeworld of Sinestro in the DC Universe.
On page 16, Chekov says da. Da is Russian
for "yes".
On page 16, Star Sapphire Carol Ferris appears before
Chekov, bearing the injured Blue Lantern Saint Walker. Carol
Ferris has been a love interest for Hal Jordan in the DC
Universe.
On page 17, the U.S.S. Constellation is attacked
and destroyed by Orange Lanterns Glocon and Atrocitus. The
Constellation appears to be a
Constitution-class ship, identical to the
Enterprise, commanded by Commodore Dekker (sic). In the
original timeline, the
Constellation was destroyed in the original
series episode "The Doomsday Machine" and Commodore Decker
killed.
