Während er sich dem Wiederaufbau der cardassianischen Infrastruktur anschließt, leitet seine Frau Keiko die schwierige landwirtschaftliche Erneuerung. Aber Cardassias Bemühungen um einen Neuanfang - von der jungen, von Elim Garak gestärkten Demokratie zu der Wiederentdeckung der spirituellen Vergangenheit des Volkes - sind nicht unumstritten, und die von außen kommenden Bemühungen, ihre Zivilisation wieder aufzubauen werden von jenen angegriffen, die jeden fremden Einfluss ablehnen.

New York Times'' best-selling author Una McCormack delivers a breathless, stirring tale of bravery, love, passion, and the desire to be free, set against a strictly hierarchical Mars Iss, a humble kitchen slave who likes to tell stories, finds herself caught up in perhaps the greatest story of them all. Little does she imagine when she stumbles on the small rebellion of Seffish, Crith, and the other dance-fighters she admires so much, how far that rebellion will spread.

Within every federation and every empire, behind every hero and every villain, there are the worlds that define them. In the aftermath of Unity and in the daring tradition of Spock''s World, The Final Reflection, and A Stitch in Time, the civilizations most closely tied to Star Trek: Deep Space Nine can now be experienced as never before...in tales both sweeping and intimate, reflective and prophetic, eerily familiar and utterly alien. CARDASSIA: The last world ravaged by the Dominion War is also the last on which Miles O''Brien ever imagined building a life. As he joins in the reconstruction of Cardassia''s infrastructure, his wife Keiko spearheads the planet''s difficult agricultural renewal. But Cardassia''s struggle to remake itself—from the fledgling democracy backed by Elim Garak to the people''s rediscovery of their own spiritual past—is not without opposition, as the outside efforts to help rebuild its civilization come under attack by those who reject any alien influence. ANDOR: On the eve of a great celebration of their ancient past, the unusual and mysterious Andorians, a species with four sexes, must decide just how much they are willing to sacrifice in order to ensure their survival. Biological necessity clashes with personal ethics; cultural obligation vies with love—and Ensign Thirishar ch''Thane returns home to the planet he forswore, to face not only the consequences of his choices, but a clandestine plan to alter the very nature of his kind.

Kapitán Picard se vzdává svého místa na Enterprise, aby vedl humanitární akci, která nemá v historii Spojené federace planet obdoby. Na tento příběh navazuje zápletka seriálu Star Trek: Picard. Romulanské slunce se má během několika let změnit v novu. Tato přírodní katastrofa ohrožuje mnoho planet a stovky milionů životů. Jean Luc Picard opouští Enterprise, přijímá povýšení na admirála, obklopí se týmem schopných lidí a pouští se do evakuace, která potrvá roky a vyžádá si od Hvězdné flotily plné nasazení. Průzkum dalekých světů je pozastaven, výzkumné projekty opuštěny ve prospěch urychlené výroby co nejvyššího počtu přepravních lodí, kariéry celé generace vědců a důstojníků flotily stagnují. A to vše kvůli Romulanům, kteří nabízenou pomoc přijímají s nedůvěrou nebo ji dokonce hrdě odmítají. Mezitím si mnozí ve Federaci začínají klást otázku, zda cena lidskosti není příliš vysoká.

Dílo ze světa Star Treku: Nové generace, v němž roste napětí mezi dvěma vesmírnými supervelmocemi. Nezávislý Venettský konvent se stává roznětkou napjatého ozbrojeného mrtvého bodu mezi dvěma mocnostmi dominujícími vesmíru - Spojenou federací planet a nedávno ustanoveným Typhonským paktem. Veneťanská vláda hledá v novém uspořádání ochranu u jednoho z členů Paktu, Tzenkethské koalice, a přitom souhlasila s poskytnutím tří zásobovacích základen k dispozici Tzenkethům. Ovšem tyto základny by v případě vyzbrojení byly nepřijatelně blízko k hranicím federačního prostoru. Zatímco kapitánka Ezri Dax míří s U.S.S. Aventine k jedné z těchto základen zjistit, co přesně se na ní odehrává, kapitán Jean-Luc Picard se musí s U.S.S. Enterprise zhostit diplomatické mise na domovský svět Konventu Venette s rozkazem dosáhnout oboustranně spokojeného mírového rozuzlení. Cardassijští vyslanci se však zjevně nehodlají chovat dvakrát diplomaticky... Nakladatelská anotace. Kráceno.
