They believe the ''vahar'ai'' (a biological process which starts with cold-like symptoms that escalate into full-body pains, then their ganglia fall out) will kill them or [[SanitySlippage send them mad]], but actually that was a lie spread by the Ba'ul. In reality, the ''vahar'ai'' just makes them more powerful. Saru also thought he had a cold when his ''vahar'ai'' first came on.

The show is set in the "prime timeline" of the ''Star Trek'' universe (as opposed to the [[Film/StarTrek2009 Kelvin timeline]]), about ten years before the five-year mission on the original ''Series/{{Star Trek|TheOriginalSeries}}''. It follows the voyages of the Federation starship USS ''Discovery'', with its experimental new "spore drive" propulsion technology that enables instant teleportation. Unusually for a Star Trek show, the main characters do not mostly consist of the ship's senior staff with the captain as the main hero. The lead character is [[ScienceHero Science Officer]] Michael Burnham (Creator/SonequaMartinGreen), a human raised by Vulcans. Other main characters include [[NumberTwo First Officer]] Saru (Creator/DougJones) of the previously-unseen Kelpien species; spore drive engineer Paul Stamets (Creator/AnthonyRapp); EnsignNewbie Sylvia Tilly (Mary Wiseman); Lt. Ash Tyler (Creator/ShazadLatif), a security officer; Dr. Hugh Culber (Wilson Cruz), a medical officer and Stamets' life partner; and Captain Gabriel Lorca (Creator/JasonIsaacs). Creator/MichelleYeoh also appears as Michael's mentor, Captain Phillipa Georgiou of the USS ''Shenzhou''. The second season sees the addition of [[Recap/StarTrekS1E0TheCage Captain Christopher Pike]] (Creator/AnsonMount) to the main cast, and the third season introduces Cleveland "Book" Booker (Creator/DavidAjala).

* ConditionedToBeWeak: This is revealed to have happened to the entire Kelpien race: originally, they were apex predators who nearly drove another race known as the Ba'ul to extinction only for the latter to turn the tide with their superior technology. Instead of wiping them out, they decided to make sure the Kelpiens could never challenge them again by instituting a belief system known as "The Great Balance" that decreed that the Kelpiens were a prey species for the Ba'ul. The same belief system claimed that the ''vahar'ai'', a painful biological process all Kelpiens undergo was a mark of being chosen to be culled, and any Kelpien who refused would suffer horrible pain and madness. In reality, the ''vahar'ai'' causes the loss of the Kelpien's fear ganglia and gives them far greater offensive abilities, which was what allowed them to hunt the Ba'ul in the first place. After discovering the truth, Saru triggers ''vahar'ai'' in the entirety of the rest of his race, which allows them to fight back against the Ba'ul and in the distant future, the two races seem to have come to an understanding.

* InscrutableAliens: In Season 4, a strange anomaly travels through the galaxy destroying everything in its path, including inhabited planets. Eventually it is discovered that the anomaly was on a mission to scoop up boronite, and was created by an alien race that lives outside the galaxy. The ''Discovery'' is sent to negotiate with the aliens, who they label as species 10-C, and ask them to stop their anomaly. The aliens prove to be so unlike anything that had been encountered earlier, the universal translator doesn't work, and the team sent to negotiate with them has a very hard time establishing even basic communication.
