Changes: Rogue Saucer

Revision as of 11:50, 4 April 2016

Template:Realworld

The USS Enterprise is divided and under attack!

Summary

From the book jacket: While its own saucer section receives needed repairs, the USS Enterprise-D tests a new experimental saucer. In theory, the new saucer can survive a planetary crash landing, but will it come through intact under genuine test conditions? Riker, Data, Worf, and La Forge risk their lives to find out, and so does Admiral Nechayev of Starfleet.

But a dangerous test turns even more deadly when hostile forces seize control of the saucer — and turn it against the Enterprise.

Excerpts of copyrighted sources are included for review purposes only, without any intention of infringement.

After the saucer section is disabled during an encounter with a suspicious Pakled freighter, the weary Enterprise-D crew takes an opportunity for shore leave. Before Picard get a chance to relax, however, Admiral Nechayev shows up with an experimental saucer that's supposedly able to take-off and re-enter orbit after a crash landing. Nechayev orders Picard, along with a skeleton crew, to test this capability in a battle simulation. Little do they know that the Maquis in fact have their own plans for the new saucer.

Background information

The events of this novel take place shortly after TNG: "Preemptive Strike".
Although her real name is never explicitly stated, it is heavily implied that the Architect is actually Ro Laren.
William T. Riker wonders if the Maquis and Starfleet could ever work together, possibly referencing Star Trek: Voyager.
