Stardate: 44246.3 Before the Klingon High Chancellor K'mpec dies, his final act is to name Captain Picard the Arbiter of Succession. As a result, the responsibility of choosing his successor, either the traitorous Duras or Gowron, falls on Picard. However, the elderly chancellor was poisoned, and one of his potential successors was the one responsible.
Meanwhile, the half-human/half-Klingon ambassador K'Ehleyr returns with a surprise for Worf... their son, Alexander.
"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.
