Track listing

# Name Length Description
1 "Logo and Prosper" 1:47 A new version of the fanfare for the Paramount Pictures, Skydance Media, Alibaba Pictures, Huahua Media and Bad Robot logos from the two previous films, followed by James T. Kirk on the planet Teenax negotiating a peace treaty between the Teenaxi Delegation and the Fibonan Republic by use of an artifact as gesture of goodwill.
2 "Thank Your Lucky Star Date" 2:15 Captain’s log of Kirk describing the mood aboard the USS Enterprise and his struggle to find meaning in the endless nature of their five years mission.
3 "Night on the Yorktown" 5:36 Kirk and McCoy have a drink while discussing Kirk’s motivations for joining Starfleet, followed by the Enterprise's arrival at Starbase Yorktown, a massive space station. Upon arrival, Spock ends his relationship with Nyota Uhura and later receives a message that Spock Prime has passed away. An escape pod is then intercepted with one survivor aboard.
4 "The Dance of the Nebula" 2:22 Joined by Kalara, the survivor of the escape pod, the Enterprise leaves Yorktown on route to Altamid, the planet where she came from, located past an uncharted nebula. The crew then encounters a swarm of small heavy-armed alien ships on Altamid's orbit.
5 "A Swarm Reception" 2:30 The swarm begins its attack to the Enterprise via destroying the ship's navigational deflector and nacelles, followed by a boarding party assault led by the swarm's leader, Krall.
6 "Hitting the Saucer a Little Hard" 6:10 Spock and McCoy manage to get on board an enemy ship while the swarm captures the rest of the crew on their escape pods. Meanwhile, Montgomery Scott fires himself out of the ship inside a torpedo and Krall tries to stop Kirk from separating the saucer section from the damaged neck of the Enterprise, which is followed then by Uhura going on to separate the saucer from the neck and getting left behind with Krall on the latter. Kirk then reaches the bridge where he finds Hikaru Sulu, Pavel Chekov and Kalara before ordering evacuation by Kelvin pods. Being the last man to escape, Kirk watches the Enterprise's saucer entering Altamid's atmosphere and crashing into the ground.
7 "Jaylah Damage" 2:50 Scotty meets Jaylah, a young scavanger on Altamid who saves him from some unruly inhabitants and then agrees to help Scotty rescue his friends in exchange for him to help fixing her "home".
8 "In Artifacts as in Life" 1:51 McCoy and Spock, who is injured after crash-landing, reach an ancient temple with marks on the wall that are similar to those on the Abronath, the artifact from Kirk's mission on Teenax that Krall was after. Meanwhile, Scotty follows Jaylah to her makeshift home in order to discover that she was living aboard the USS Franklin, an ancient Starfleet vessel.
9 "Franklin, My Dear" 2:50 Scotty and Jaylah find Kirk and Chekov, followed by a tour aboard the Franklin. Kirk then gets on top of the ship to find image reflectors being used as method of camouflage against Krall's forces and Chekov finds a weak communication transmission coming from Spock and McCoy.
10 "A Lesson in Vulcan Mineralogy" 5:17 Using the signal from Uhura's Vokaya amulet that Spock gave her as a gift, the group locates the rest of the crew on Krall's camp. Jaylah then, telling the others she escaped from the camp at the cost of loosing her family, refuses to help with Scotty and Kirk later persuading her to do so. When formulating the plan, the group concludes they need a diversion, followed by Kirk and Jaylah beaming near Krall's camp while riding a BX-70, an old motorcycle stored inside the Franklin.
11 "MotorCycles of Relief" 3:17 With Kirk riding the BX-70 through the camp to draw Krall's soldiers attention and Jaylah sniping them, Spock and McCoy free the crew from their holding cells in order to be beamed on groups aboard the Franklin by Scotty and Chekov. Spock then goes to look for Uhura after being told she was taken, followed by Jaylah being attacked by Manas, Krall's second in command.
12 "Mocking Jaylah" 3:26 Jaylah and Manas continue fighting while Krall and the rest of his fleet take off on route to Yorktown. Kirk then uses Jaylah's crystallizing gas to shield the last crewmen from enemy phasers while being transported, followed by Jaylah pushing Manas off a pad and jumping to reach Kirk as he activates his beacon that sends them both back to the Franklin.
13 "Crash Decisions" 3:16 The group aboard the Franklin, alongside Spock and McCoy aboard an enemy drone ship, chase Krall and the rest of his fleet through the streets of Yorktown.
14 "Krall-y Krall-y Oxen Free" 4:23 After finding two dead bodies drained of their life force by Krall, Kirk and Uhura watch a video from the Franklin logs and discover that Krall was Balthazar Edison, the original captain of the ship, former MACO soldier and believed to be missing. Kirk then asks Scotty to see Edison's old logs of him feeling disillution and anger towards the Federation and mentioning the discovery of a life-sustaining force that he intended to keep himself alive. Meanwhile Edison, with a more Human-looking form and wearing a Starfleet uniform, heads to Yorktown's life support hub.
15 "Shutdown Happens" 4:35 Kirk finds Krall/Edison at the ventilation system. As they fight in the anti-gravity and weightless conditions inside the life support section of Yorktown, Kirk tries to reason with Edison to no avail, followed by Edison then throwing the Abronath inside the chamber.
16 "Cater-Krall in Zero G" 2:17 With the Abronath activated and releasing its black cloud, Edison watches Kirk trying to open the chamber's hatch in order to eject the bioweapon. Edison then tries to kill Kirk but gets kicked off into the Abronath and launched into space, followed by Spock and McCoy coming to save Kirk from suffering the same fate.
17 "Par-tay for the Course" 2:46 McCoy brings Kirk to a surprise birthday party for him, with the whole crew there to celebrate. Spock and Uhura reconcile their relationship, while Kirk and Scotty pull some strings and get Jaylah into Starfleet Academy.
