2265.64 - KLINGON BORDER
 USS Constellation (NCC-1017) -  The film opens with Commodore Matt Decker and his crew viewing the silhoeutte of an unknown alien craft, as it makes a slight turn toward the Klingon border. Science officer Masada is astonished by the sheer scope and power of the craft. The craft powers up and fires a concentrated beam into the atmosphere of an unidentified planet shattering it. The Constellation keeps its distance until the alien craft makes a turn toward the ship and begins to attack it, severely damaging it. Decker orders the crew to flee the ship in shuttle craft, though he keeps Masada aboard to monitor the alien craft. The shuttlecraft are destroyed by the planet killer and the Constellation is left adrift.

DEEP STAR STATION K7
USS Enterprise (NCC-1701)- Captain Kirk and his crew are at the end of their five-year mission to explore the galaxy, when they receive a distress call from the Constellation.

Ent8.jpgNIS SECTOR
The Enterprise arrives at the coordinates of the Constellation on the Klingon-Federation border. The Constellation is towed by the Enterprise to the nearest starbase which happens to be Klingon. Captain Kirk and Commodore Decker are at odds, as Decker begins to order Captain Kirk to retarget the planet killer. The Enterprise encounters the IKS Kolothos and its commander Kor, who threatens to destroy both ships if they enter Klingon territory. Kirk disregards this threat and pushes into Klingon territory which Kor takes as an act of war and fires on both ships. Sulu maneauvers the Enterprise well enough to protect the Constellation and fighting the Kolothos. A large battle ensues between a few Orion pirate ships as they attempt to destroy the already weakened Constellation and Enterprise.

ABANDONED KLINGON STARBASE
After fending off the Constellation and Enterprise from the Klingons, they reach the Klingon outpost seemingly abandoned, the signs of great devastation are apparent by shards of large planetoids drift across space. Uhura opens hailing frequencies only to discover silence. Kirk decides that the only course of action is to board the starbase and ascertain the situation. Commodore Decker claims that the starbase's condition is due to the planet killer. Spock tells Decker that due to his encounter with the planet killer that he join the away party onto the station, Sulu takes over command while Spock, Decker, Kirk and Uhura are transported aboard the station in space suits. While on the base, they discover the charred bodies of Klingon personel floating about, Decker confirms that this was the work of the planet killer. While present, the away team recovers some isotopes needed to restore the Constellation's engine room. The away team activates a recorded transmission from the base commander speaking of a "Federation superweapon" that has been devastating nearby Klingon outposts and planets. The Kolothos returns to attack the Enterprise, in which acting captain Sulu tries to convince Commander Kor, that they both want a mutual thing. Kor's executive Lieutenant Kang convinces him otherwise and begins to assault the Enterprise. With transporters inoperable, Scott suggests that the away team jump out of a blasted shuttle bay door where Scotty will pick them up in a shuttle craft. Keenser successfully returns transporter capability but only for the ability to transport the reactor isotopes. Keenser transports it to the Constellation's engine room and installs it. The battle wears on and the Enterprise successful damages the Kolothos killing Commander Kor, which forces Lieutenant Kang to become Commander and vows to hunt Kirk to the ends of space. Just as the station explodes, the Enterprise and Constellation warp out. The Kolothos then encounters the Orion ships from earlier, Kang smiles.

QO'NOS (KRONOS)
Despite the actions at the Klingon starbase, Kirk is willing to lend assistance to the Klingon homeworld, much to the chagrin of Commodore Decker. The Enterprise and Constellation can course to Kronos. Upon arrival outside of the Kling system, Commodore Decker realizes he's been wrong and asks that Captain Kirk return with him to the Constellation to "clean up." Kirk is glad that Decker came around. On the Constellation, Decker leaves Kirk marooned. As Decker takes over the Enterprise and attempts to destroy the planet killer before in revenge for his fallen comrades not so much to stop it from destroying Kronos. The Enterprise is severely damaged in the melee with the planet killer. Spock reprimands Decker and successfully warps the Enterprise out of the vacinty, as the planet killer nears Kronos. Meanwhile, Kirk and Keenser work out a way to get the impulse drive working and the warp drive for a short burst to Kronos. Spock is told by Uhura that no matter what happens, they will need to save the Klingon homeworld. Decker is placed in the brig and the Enterprise warps near Kronos. The Klingon Defense Force in orbit and in-system attempt to fend of the planet killer to no avail. The Klingons also start attacking the Enterprise, as they begin to assume the Federation is trying to destroy the Empire. Spock launches shuttles to divert the Klingon attack in order to move the Enterprise in a position that would destory the planet killer. With the Klingon forces being ravaged, the Klingons decide to send their remaining force into the mouth of the killer, only to fail. Two Klingon starbases are obliterated before the planet killer manueavers itself in a position to destroy Kronos. With all hope lost, the Constellation arrives. The energy of the planet killer is reduced to twenty percent and one more ship could do it. Decker contacts Spock from the brig and volunteers himself to be the sacrifice. Kirk and Spock try to convince Decker otherwise, but Decker tells them that if they want him to maintain his last shred of dignity, he should die with the rest of his crewmates. Spock moves the order to Kirk, who reluctantly approves. Scotty transports Decker to the Constellation as Kirk and Keenser return to the Enterprise. Carol Marcus' upgrade to the Constellation's reactor would create a larger effective yield of the explosion. Kirk and Decker talk about the burden of command and how sacrifice can be rewarded by the whole, and quotes Melville's Moby Dick. Then, the Constellation is lost in the mouth of the planet killer and the weapon is disabled above Kronos. Kirk and the rest of the bridge crew salute Decker's sacrifice.

With the destruction of the Constellation, the IKS Kolothos arrives with Commander Kang, who tries to assault the Enterprise before the Klingon High Coucil contacts Kang and order him to stand-down. But Kang still harbors a resentment toward humans and the Federation, in a reverse to Kirk's hatred in the original Star Trek films.

As a token of gratitude, the Klingon repair the damage to the Enterprise and send two D7 cruisers to escort them back into Federation space.
