PUBLICATION: Star Trek v.2 #79, DC Comics, January 1996
CREATORS: Kevin J. Ryan (writer), Steve Erwin and Terry Pallot (artists)
STARDATE: 6221.4 (follows the last issue)
PLOT: The Enterprise, bearing an ambassador/expert on the Romulans, heads for the heavily damaged Starbase 14 to look for survivors and investigate. Meeting them is a Tal Shiar ship who wishes to help with that investigation. The crew rescues some survivors (involving the safe removal of the station's critical power core) and exchanges officers with the Romulans, both sides claiming they had nothing to do with the recent attacks...
CONTINUITY: The Tal Shiar were first mentioned in TNG's Face of the Enemy. Their ship uses a classic bird-of-prey design (Balance of Terror). Starbase 14 is of the same design as Deep Space Station K-7 (The Trouble with Tribbles). The medical ship USS Salk has a sphere instead of a saucer, like a Daedalus class and like the USS Pasteur (All Good Things...). Kirk remembers speaking to Captain Robert April (The Counter-Clock Incident) when he was a cadet.
DIVERGENCES: None.
PANEL OF THE DAY - What if I urgently need a leg?
