To Boldly Go Where No Man Has Gone Before.Star Trek is an American space opera media franchise based on the science fiction television series created by Gene Roddenberry. The first television series, simply called Star Trek and now referred to as “The Original Series”, debuted in 1966 and aired for three seasons on the television network NBC. It followed the interstellar adventures of Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner) and his crew aboard the starship USS Enterprise, a space exploration vessel, built by the United Federation of Planets in the twenty-third century. The Star Trek canon of the franchise includes The Original Series, an animated series, five spin-off television series, the film franchise, and further adaptations in several media.

Previously in Star Trek: The Modala Imperative, Captain James T. Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise travels to the planet Modala to investigate its peaceful manner of planetary government. A closer look, however, reveals a world under a disturbing totalitarian rule. Moreover, the Modalan government has been provided with weaponry of off-world manufacture – but how, and by whom? Captain Kirk and Ensign Chekov take it upon themselves to investigate…and the answers they uncover are both ugly…and terrifying.

Star Trek: The Modala Imperative continues 100 years later, in the Star Trek: The Next Generation mini-series following these 4 issues (see Star Trek The Modala Imperative (1991) #1-4).

100 years after the Enterprise inadvertently aided a revolution on the planet Modala, the former rebels-turned-administrators are planning on celebrating 100 years of freedom and want as many of the original Enterprise crew to celebrate with them. Ambassador Spock and Admiral McCoy return to the planet with the Enterprise-D crew, only to find an unpleasant answer to the century-old question “who supplied the alien weapons to the former tyrants of the planet?” Caught in another planetary revolution, McCoy and Spock deal with memories of the past, discontent with the present, and uncertainty for the future, only to be reminded the more things change the more they stay the same.
