Star Wars Legend Timothy Zahn Makes the Lightspeed Jump to Star Trek in 2027 - NYCC 2026
In a major pop culture twist, Star Wars legend Timothy Zahn is making the jump to the Star Trek franchise to pen an original graphic novel called Star Trek: Roc's Egg.
Timothy Zahn, a significant figure in the world of Star Wars novels, is venturing into the Star Trek franchise. At the New York Comic Con (NYCC) 2026, it was announced that Zahn will be writing a graphic novel titled "Star Trek: Roc's Egg" for IDW Publishing. Illustrated by Star Trek veteran Ángel Hernández, the story will be set on the Deep Space 9 station, where the Federation launches an investigation into the destruction of a valuable artifact.
The plot thickens as a secret auction, a station full of wealthy collectors and dangerous criminals, and a murder mystery unfold. The official summary describes the graphic novel as "a twisty new mystery set aboard Deep Space 9 where everyone has something to hide—and the truth may be more valuable than the treasure itself."
Zahn, an acclaimed author, has a long-standing association with Star Trek dating back to the original TV series in 1966. He expressed his excitement about the opportunity, calling it "a huge honor and privilege." "Star Trek: Roc's Egg" is scheduled for release in October 2027.
