Stardate: 43489.2 While visiting a planet which is seeking membership in the Federation, a military prisoner there escapes. Enterprise is asked to help recapture him, only to find this to be a daunting task. The reason is the ex-soldier appears to have been modified or enhanced by the society, to fight in their just concluded war with their vanquished enemy.
The more the crew learns about the prisoner, and the harder it becomes to stop him, the more they question the society's plea to join the Federation.
"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.
