'Star Trek Discovery' episode 15 preview: First look at Kronos

The first look of the Klingon home planet Kronos, also written as Qo’nos, has been revealed in a preview video of “Star Trek Discovery” episode 15. Specialist Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) and a team will head on a dangerous mission in the finale episode. The moral costs of the mission, however, will seem more important than the idea of winning itself.

With the spores all grown, the Discovery will be able to safely make a jump to Kronos in the next episode. While their main mission is to map the planet to take out its defences in a coordinated attack by the Federation, there is also a hidden plan that will be revealed later.

A preview video of next episode posted on YouTube shows Emperor Georgiou (Michelle Yeoh), who has taken over the role of the late Captain Georgiou, leading a team on a mission. The team will include Burnham and also the Klingon/human Ash (Shazad Latif). Will Voq resurface in Ash and stop the possible defeat of the Klingons?

The episode will explore Kronos in detail. Viewers will get to see the green atmosphere of the planet from space, as well as also the Klingon lifestyle on the surface.

Although the Klingon empire is divided into various factions, Kronos is a neutral location where everyone is allowed to visit. The land, however, is sacred for the Klingons.

The Klingons are currently racing to take the prized planet of the Federation - Earth. With the attack on Kronos, the plan is to draw the enemy back to defend their homeworld.

It seems that the mission will be to not only take out the military installations on the planet but also destroy it completely. Burnham will not stand for such wanton destruction of life even if there's a war. However, Admiral Cornwell (Jayne Brook) has no time for principles.
