The galaxy is threatened by the Hobus star, which will become a supernova. Spock proposes that the Romulans transport the precious mineral decalithium to Vulcan, where it can be converted into red matter capable of turning the star into a short-lived black hole, therefore ending its threat. The Romulan Senate opposes Spock, but he finds a comrade in Nero, the leader of the miners. Nero witnessed the Hobus supernova consume a planet first-hand and offers to secretly transport decalithium, noting it would be better than doing nothing and then leaving his wife and unborn son to die. Nero's ship, the Narada, is attacked by the Remans, but the Enterprise rescues them and escorts them to Vulcan with decalithium taken from the Reman ships. The Vulcan Council opposes Romulan use of red matter, infuriating Nero; he vows if Romulus is destroyed, he shall hold them accountable.
When asked whether the filmmakers' involvement in the comic made it canonical, Roberto Orci stated he was in no position to declare whether it was, though he felt it could easily remain as such unless it was contradicted in a future film.[17] The first season of Star Trek: Picard contradicts several plot points of Countdown, making the supernova the Romulan sun rather than the Hobus star, and establishes that Data's memories were never successfully imprinted into B-4, who was disassembled after a ban on synthetics in 2385. The ban prompted Picard, an admiral rather than an ambassador, to resign from Starfleet. The third season of Picard also states that Worf, rather than Data, succeeded Picard as the captain of the Enterprise-E and later worked for Starfleet Intelligence rather than becoming a Klingon general.[18]

i got the individual issues- read 3 1/2 of them- will leave the cliffhanger for the night b4 when i re read countdown and read the end.
i liked the story- but i dont know why the writers made picard an ambasador- this destroys any future voyages of the Enterprise E with picard as the captain- and undoes the open ending of Nemisis.
everything else was good- the art was spectacular.
everyone must have a copy!
@20. trekboi. Meh I am happy with Picard as an ambassador, Jainway became an admiral when she returned, and if you read the history captain Archer becomes ambassador to Andoria and also becomes one of the UFP presidents! So picard as an ambassador, I can live with that.
@28. AdamTrek. Yes but it was not the star Spock was trying to destroy it was the super nova. Which means if they had time Spock could have intercepted the nova way before it reached Romulus and had it sucked into the black hole nowhere near Romulus, which means Romulus would have been safe. Man all they had to do was time travel back one month and stopped all this lol. Where are the federation temporal agents, I thought they were watching lol.
Before Kirk and Spock can get back to their shuttle and crew, the Shadows attack and drive them and April deep into the catacombs where the last of the blue Phadians reside. It seems that once April introduced advanced technology to this war, someone else jumped in quickly to assist the Shadows. Their forces were now poised for a final offensive to complete the genocide that they started.
(The out-of-universe reason is obviously because they didn't want to run it down to the last second, and a countdown that doesn't almost run out is dramatically pointless. But I'm interested in the in-universe reason.)
Picard gave the order to evacuate the Enterprise a few seconds before the destruct sequence order was given, which explains why people were piling into the pods even as the audio warning (of the fact that the destruct has been set) arrives. He then muted the countdown so that the Borg wouldn't know how long they had remaining, even if they stormed the ship's bridge, something that Kirk failed to do in Star Trek 3.
The reasons anyone has to do anything are many and varied, a multitude of things enter into anyone's decision making process. With that being said, the simplest thought is the easiest to explain, a countdown would be irrelevant, everyone knows the ship is going to blow up, no one really needs to be reminded of the fact.
Witness the events leading to the epic series Star Trek: Picard. The Countdown starts here! Before he retired to his vineyard, Jean-Luc Picard was the most decorated admiral in Starfleet. Then one mission changed his life forever. After discovering that a looming supernova threatens the entirety of the Romulan Empire, the Federation launches a mission of unparalleled scale. Admiral Jean-Luc Picard heads to the colony to plan the evacuation but makes a shocking discovery! Written by Star Trek: Picard co-creator and supervising producer Kirsten Beyer and fan-favorite Mike Johnson with art by Angel Hernandez! Also contains an interview with Kirsten Beyer discussing the development and creation of the TV series and how the comic fits into its world and a special look into how the U.S.S. Verity was designed by Thomas Marrone, Lead Ship & UI Artist for Star Trek Online. Featuring cover art by Jim Salvati.

CBS All Access' Star Trek: Picard is one of the most hotly anticipated entries in the Star Trek universe in ages. The series will mark the return of Patrick Stewart's fabled starship captain Jean-Luc Picard, ending a 17-year absence since 2002's Star Trek: Nemesis.
I can't spoil too much of the plot because I want people to read it fresh. We start to lay in some of the backgrounds for why he ultimately decides to leave Starfleet. He's an admiral, we see his new ship, we might see a familiar face or two and we see what he's been doing since the end of Nemesis.
After this moment with the two Romulan refugees, the story jumps back to the year 2385, where Commander Geordi La Forge is running the show at the Utopia Planitia Shipyards above Mars. Admiral Picard contacts Geordi from aboard his starship, the Verity, which seems to be an Odyssey-class ship like the Enterprise-F seen in Star Trek Online.
The classical architecture of the Romulans and the highly technical nature of the diverse starships we see are given good line treatments that vary between hard and sketchy. The variety in heaviness serves to increase the feeling of each conversation and the power dynamics at play as the tension continues to tighten throughout the issue.
It began as a ripple in the price of E-mini futures contracts, traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, but almost nobody noticed. This tiny ripple quickly morphed in a major ripple, and with very little forewarning, the tail quickly started wagging the dog to pieces.
