Part One
A seemingly uneventful day aboard the USS Excelsior during a mapping mission in the space between the Sagittarius and Orion Arms turns into an unexpected first contact when an unknown vessel seemingly appears out of nowhere. Saavik determines that the ship does not use a Romulan cloaking device, is armed with conventional phasers, but possesses no shields that the sensors can detect. Soon, the unknown vessel demands the surrender of the Excelsior. Saavik informs Admiral Kirk that the unknown vessel's energy output is barely a tenth of the Excelsior's power. Armed with the knowledge of facing an inferior enemy, Kirk surrenders the ship over the objections of his crew.
