A mysterious and destructive alien spawned cloud, which
vaporizes everything in its path including three Klingon vessels and
a Federation Space Station in the opening scene. This enormous cloud
is heading slowly toward Earth and there is little anyone can do to
stop it save for finding it's source and attempting contact. Enterprise
is commissioned to make this contact however much to the disappointment
of Commander William Decker, who is expecting to assume the Captain's
chair, Captain James T. Kirk steps from behind his desk after two-plus
years to regain control.
Captain Kirk not only usurps
Enterprise from the expected captain to be, who is more accustom to
the newly retrofitted ship, he also insists on bringing along a bridge
crew he feels comfortable with. Once again assembled for his bridge
after a long shore leave are Commander Spock, Commander Montgomery 'Scotty'
Scott, Lieutenant Commander Uhura, Lt. Commander Hikura Sulu, St. Commander
Pavel Chekov and Doctor Leonard 'Bones' McCoy.
Kirk arrives in all his glory with his
bridge crew and his ego. Commander Decker is at first unwilling to budge
and egos clash at every turn. The two eventually learn, though begrudgingly,
to work together toward the same end result.
Enterprise and her re-assembled crew
sets off to find the alien responsible for the mysterious destructive
cloud. On the way they battle a multitude of systems failures and one
rather large wormhole. Once contact is made with the being the crew
embarks on a strange journey into an alien realm who's center being
is called V'ger.
Admiral Kirk and crew discover that
"V'ger" is a living machine from the past desiring in earnest
to make contact with her creator. This desire to find her creator and
purpose is so strong that if contact is not made she is hell bent on
wiping out everything in her path.
The Enterprise crew must think and act
quickly to appease V'ger's desire and must rely both on Admiral Kirk's
years of experience and Commander Decker's expertise and quick thinking.
Once V'ger is satisfied and the crisis
is averted the reassembled Enterprise crew warps into the horizon to:
'Boldly go where no man has gone before.'
