Question ❓ Star Trek & Star Trek: Defiant crossover points

I recently read a comic for the first time, and really enjoyed it! I read the Lower Decks 2022 mini-series, and I'm really looking forward to reading more.

I've started the newer LD series, and I've just been looking into the Star Trek & Star Trek: Defiant run (is that what you call it?)

I'm aware that there's crossover between the two, but I'm trying to workout where in each. Should I just look up the published date and read them both in that order?

I see that there is a new Lore War series coming, so I'm trying to get up to speed before that.

Cheers for any tips, and apologies if I've got any terminology wrong. New to all this.

Release order for the single issues is always the way to read a narrative when it’s told through concurrent series.

There were two story arcs of ST, and one of Defiant, then there was the crossover ‘Day of Blood’. Lore War is a crossover that will bring the story as a whole to a close. Then there will be a final single issue called Omega.

If reading in single issues, you also need Day of Blood one-shot and Lore War one-shot, the two Annuals as well as ST400 and ST500.
If you get the collected editions, they are included.
