Upon the Discovery's return to the prime universe in mid- 2257, Stamets' control of the spore drive was instrumental in allowing the vessel to conduct a mission to Qo'noS to force an armistice in the Federation-Klingon war. ( DIS: " Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad", " Into the Forest I Go", " Despite Yourself", " What's Past Is Prologue") Using his knowledge of the network, Stamets was able to devise a plan to return to the prime universe by destroying the super-mycelial reactor of the Terran Empire flagship ISS Charon. His consciousness survived inside the mycelial network, however, and he was restored to health by Cadet Sylvia Tilly. This caused progressive neurological damage to Stamets' body, and when Captain Gabriel Lorca deliberately sabotaged a spore drive jump to take the Discovery into the mirror universe, Stamets was left almost catatonic. His frequent exposures to the mycelial plane led him to exist partially outside the universe's normal flow of time. ( DIS: " Context Is for Kings", " Choose Your Pain", " Project Daedalus")Īs the Discovery's spore drive specialist, he was the first to make the spore drive viable for traversing great distances by using himself as an organic navigation computer, making the ship an invaluable asset in the war with the Klingon Empire. In that capacity he served as the spore drive specialist of the USS Discovery in 2256, traveling the network hundreds of times. He became part of the team that discovered the mycelial network and helped develop the experimental spore drive propulsion system. – Paul Stamets to Michael Burnham, 2256 (" Context Is for Kings")Ĭommander Paul Stamets was a male Human astromycologist and Starfleet officer who lived during the mid- 23rd century before skipping ahead to the 32nd. ![]()
