top 5 alternate star trek universes

star trek, like many other sci-fi shows, has had multiple AU's threw out its history. so now i am going to count down my top 5 favorite.

5. alternate reality

premiering with a cameo from jane. t kirk in an old marvel comic book, this universe has recently had its own adventure in IDW's star trek ongoing. the basic idea is that the entire crew is gender flipped.

4. doomsday war

ok this is technically cheating, as it comes from a fan series but im putting it on here anyways. the basic idea of the federation fighting a war against the doomsday machines. also, spock is replaced with a klingon.

3. mirror universe

dating back to the original series, the mirror universe is defiantly the most consistently appearing. basically, in this universe, good is evil and evil is... more evil.

2. expanded universe

what did you expect? as with star wars, i am a big fan of the star trek EU even if in this case there is zero possibility of being cannon. that just means there is another AU to enjoy, specifically the new novel verse.

1. 2009 verse

created by a rouge movie director..... i mean romulan, this series was made to reboot star trek. and in my opinion at least, they did a pretty decent job. so yes my favorite non- prime verse is the new prime verse. star trek is complicated.
