Background information

• An introduction was written for the collection by Michael Okuda.
• The stardate of these stories sets them early in the second season, but a timeline published by DC Comics, changes the stardate of the stories so as to account for the appearance of Beverly Crusher, Natasha Yar, and William T. Riker without a beard. These stories are set between "Encounter at Farpoint" and "The Naked Now".
