Seen on the wall in Jean-Luc Picard’s quantum archive in the Star Trek: Picard season one premiere episode #101 “Remembrance,” which aired the week of January 23, 2020. The Starfleet archive was a Starfleet facility near San Francisco. The site contained the Starfleet Archive Museum, which in turn contained a quantum archive where several personal effects of retired Starfleet Admiral Jean-Luc Picard were kept in stasis. Visitors to the quantum archive were served by a hologram called Index. Among the artifacts from Picard’s career stored here were his copy of The Globe Illustrated Shakespeare: The Complete Works, the Kurlan naiskos gifted to him by Professor Galen, and a banner for Captain Picard Day. In 2399, he visited the archive to examine a painting, Daughter, gifted to him by Data. The 11” x 8 ½” certificate is white with a gray Starfleet TOS combadge on the bottom and black/gray text. It reads in pertinent part: “Starfleet Academy / The United Federation of Planets / Upon recommendation of the faculty of / Starfleet Academy / Hereby acknowledges that / Jean-Luc Picard / Having completed … this / Degree of Command and Control.” A replica frame completes the display.
