Tthe Payav are struggling to rebuild in the wake of the pulsar's damage. The Enterprise returns with a plan to help restore the planet's atmosphere, but the Klingon Empire has also come to the aid of one of the world's many factions. Captain Kirk finds himself once again pitted against Klingon commander Kor.
The Enterprise has been sent to the planet Nador to participate in a watershed event: the Nadorians' first true election, to vote on whether or not to join the United Federation of Planets. But a shadowy group of fanatics wants nothing to do with the Federation, and will stop at nothing - whether it be assassinating the princes or kidnapping Captain Kirk's nephew Peter - to achieve their goals!
