The 25-year evolution of the Federation’s clandestine spy division known as Section 31 and its presentation within the "Star Trek" universe has taken a few twists and turns over the years. This covert operations unit has morphed from its introduction as an autonomous intelligence agency in the 1998 episode of "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" titled "Inquisition," to being considered for it's own proposed TV series, and now to "Star Trek's" very first streaming film for Paramount+.
Along the way, Section 31 has been referenced multiple times in "Star Trek: Enterprise," "Star Trek Into Darkness," "Star Trek: Discovery," "Star Trek: Picard," and even the animated series, "Star Trek: Lower Decks."
