Stardate 43462.5 Picking up a distress signal from a Romulan Scout Ship, the Enterprise moves in to help the vessel... as it is being chased by a Romulan Warbird. The lone Romulan aboard the Scout Ship is saved and brought aboard the Enterprise where he tells of a secret Romulan base in the Neutral Zone that is nearing completion. In 48 hours the base will go online and the Romulans will be that much closer to attacking the Federation. However, Picard and his senior staff are skeptical of the defector's story.
"Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its continuing mission: To explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilisations, to boldly go where no one has gone before".
In this highly successful spin-off to the original Star Trek, Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the Galaxy-Class starship, the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D, set out to explore the final frontier. Along the way, they make first contact with myriad different species and solve reconflicts among those societies with whom they were already familiar, most notably the Klingon Empire.
