Today a brand new episode of Star Trek: Lower Decks will stream on Paramount+ in the UK. “In the Cradle of Vexilon” finds the newly promoted ensigns continuing to adjust to their new duties with typically hilarious consequences. Ahead of the episode we’re taking a look at the official stills and synopsis.
The episode was written by Ben Waller and directed by Brandon Williams. Paramount has been typically brief in their official synopsis:
Boimler leads his first away mission on an alien megastructure.
Take a look at the official stills from the episode below:

Cerritos includes Ensign Beckett Mariner, voiced by Tawny Newsome; Ensign Brad Boimler, voiced by Jack Quaid; Ensign Tendi, voiced by Noël Wells; and Ensign Rutherford, voiced by Eugene Cordero.
