Summary
2354
The Stargazer travels to Chalna for negotiations with what passes for their semblance of government. The Federation is maintaining a temporary scientific outpost on the planet Ynathaia, which the Chalnoth claim lies within their space. Though Picard promises that the outpost will leave as soon as they have concluded their survey, the more vocal officials demand its immediate removal. Picard accepts a trial by combat, with the prospect of war hanging in the balance. Choosing an Aldebaran sling as the weapon, he ultimately defeats his impressive opponent, winning the Federation colony time to complete their mission and peacefully withdraw.

Background
- The Stargazer is shown with the registry "NCC-7100", even though onscreen it appeared registered as "NCC-2893". NCC-7100 was the registry of a starship model of a Constellation-class ship seen in Picard's ready room.
- Jack Crusher is shown with lieutenant commander insignia inside the comic and addressed as commander and science officer. On the cover, he wear's lieutenant's insignia on his uniform. On the cover and in the comic he wears an operations division gold uniform instead of a uniform showing the colors of sciences division, showing his position. He may have had another specialty in operations, and joins a list of science personnel who wear operations colors in Star Trek history, including Marla McGivers and Ann Mulhall.
