Nové dílo ze světa Star Treku: Nové generace, v němž roste napětí mezi dvěma vesmírnými supervelmocemi. Vždy nezávislý Venettský konvent se stává roznětkou napjatého ozbrojeného mrtvého bodu mezi dvěma mocnostmi dominujícími vesmíru – Spojené federace planet a nedávno ustanoveného Typhonského paktu. Veneťanská vláda hledá v novém uspořádání mocností ochranu u jednoho z členů Paktu, Tzenkethské koalice, a přitom souhlasila s poskytnutím tří zásobovacích základen k dispozici Tzenkethům.

Aventine k jedné z těchto základen zjistit, co přesně se na ní odehrává, kapitán Jean-Luc Picard se musí s U.S.S.

Cardassijští vyslanci se však zjevně nehodlají při jednání chovat dvakrát diplomaticky, což již tak napjatou situaci velice rychle nasměruje k otevřené válce…
