In the Star Trek universe, the Trill are a race of beings that voluntarily implant a symbiont, which becomes the dominant personality. But not all of the Trill are “joined” with symbionts and those who are not have come to resent the status afforded those who are. Calling themselves “Purists,” this faction seeks to violently overthrow the society from which they feel excluded. Lieutenant Erzi Dax of Deep Space Nine is a Trill symbiont who becomes a pivotal figure in the Purists’ scheme.

With beautiful art that expertly captures the likenesses of the actors, “Divided We Fall” features characters from two Star Trek series, The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine. This crossover story is set after each of these series have concluded their television run but requires an extensive knowledge of the characters and scenarios. For example, the soap-opera aspects of Dr. Crusher’s romance with a Trill symbiont when it was joined with Commander Riker (from an episode of the TV series) are prominent.

Story/Spoilers
In issue #1, “Chapter One: Crossfire”, Things don’t look good for the Trill home world as a rebellion has devastated their society. A small group of terrorists are attacking joined trills and their full intention seems to be killing every one of them. Odan a great ambassador and friend to many of the U.S.S. Enterprise E Crew has been attacked and Lenara Kahn a renowned scientist and an old lover and wife of Dax is kidnapped and possibly murdered. Unknown about Khan’s situation Ezri Dax jumps into action to save her in a ransom demand. What Ezri also does not know is she is a target and the leader behind all this trouble is her old enemy.

Next in issue #2, “Chapter Two: No Quarter”, The crossover between The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine continues. The search for the missing Ezri Dax gets some unexpected assistance from the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise E. But that aid may be too little too late, since Ezri’s kidnapping proves to be only one part of a worldwide conspiracy of genocide against all joined Trill. Meanwhile, Beverly Crusher, unaware of the plot, brings the Odan symbiont to the Caves of Mak’ala, which should be a healing place but, in fact, is a place where the Trill terrorists have set a bomb that could lead to the death of all Trill. This issue ends in a perfect cliff hanger.

Next in issue #3, “Chapter Three: All Fall Down”, The exciting crossover between Star Trek: The Next Generation® and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine continues! The truth about Verad Kalon’s plot against joined Trill is revealed, and Ezri Dax turns out to be one of Verad’s first targets. With a highly communicable airborne virus racing across the Trill world, Verad has infected himself and is spreading the disease all over the planet. Then kills himself to keep the cure a secret. Ezri is down for the count and the crew of U.S.S. Enterprise D has to come up with a solution before the Trill population is decimated?

Finally in issue #4, “Chapter Four: United We Stand”, The crossover between Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine concludes. Moving uninfected Trill into quarantine is a big, dangerous job. Especially when it turns out that the quarantine locations just might be the most dangerous spots on the planet! That is because of the kamikaze ships crashing down on the planet targeting joined Trill. Beverly Crusher comes up with a unique, and risky way to discover a cure for the retrovirus by joining with the symbiont Odan who is also a past lover. This is done in order to save Ezri Dax and the rest of her people.
