when is starfleet academy set

“Star Trek: Starfleet Academy” is set in the far future of the Star Trek timeline, in the 32nd century, shortly after the era of “The Burn” introduced in Star Trek: Discovery.

In-universe time period

• The show takes place in the 32nd century, the same general era as the later seasons of “Star Trek: Discovery”.

• In this period, the United Federation of Planets and Starfleet are still recovering from a cataclysmic event known as the Burn, which shattered much of their former power and cohesion.

What the setting looks like

• The academy is primarily based in San Francisco in this future era, with cadets also training aboard the starship USS Athena, which docks at the Academy but can deploy with the fleet.

• Story-wise, the new class of cadets is described as the first to enroll in over a century, inheriting a galaxy that is cautiously rebuilding and redefining what Starfleet means after the Burn.
