There, they discover the eponymous NewEden, a hidden, primitive human settlement named New Eden.settlement. Beaming down, Pike, Burnham and Owosekun attempt to find more about the Red Burst, despite being bound by "General Order One," Starfleet's AlienNonInterferenceClause. Meanwhile, ''Discovery'' must save the planet from annihilation after radioactive debris threatens a ColonyDrop.
Added DiffLines:
