The crew of the Enterprise is sent to oversee the final stages of a planet’s acceptance into the Federation after nearly seventy years of isolation.

Date: September, 2006
Synopsis:
Writer: Mike W. Barr / Artist: Jeong Mo Yang
After the Enterprise is attacked by missiles fired from a seemingly dead planet, random acts of violence breakout between the male and female members of the crew. The cause is traced to two survivors from the dead planet, the reaninmated male and female co-rulers who destroyed the planet through civil war. The alien leaders split the crew into two factions until they face each other in a final conflict, the women in the saucer section and the men in the engineering section. Kirk and McCoy manage to transport the two faction leaders down to the planet surface where they kill each other in hand to hand combat. With the aliens dead, their influence disappears and the crew is reunited.
