Generations

The story begins with the launching of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-B) and the mysterious disappearence of Captain James T. Kirk. Then, seventy-eight years later, Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the U.S.S. Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) receives a distress call from a remote scientific observatory.

Picard learns that a newly developed superweapon has been stolen by a desperate scientist with an insane plot. Facing the most difficult task of his career, Captain Picard must seek out the one person with the power to help him, a person long thought dead, Captain James T. Kirk.

Together, the two captains will be tested as they've never been before. And both men will be forced to make the greatest sacrifices of their careers to save countless millions from a madman with a plan of mass destruction.

Background[edit | edit source]

The novelization features a forty page behind-the-scenes section on the making of Star Trek Generations written by Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens.
The hardcover version features an ending based on the originally-filmed (yet ultimately deleted) ending of the film. The paperback version features a rewritten ending based on that which ultimately appeared in the finished feature film.
The PC video game expands on the 2371 portion of the story.
The new uniforms were designed for Star Trek Generations, which is a hybrid of the Wrath of Khan uniform and the TNG uniform, such as a double-breast flap, a colored collar and gold rank on the sleeve-cuffs. They were all scrapped at the last minute and a combination of the TNG and DS9 uniforms were used in the final film instead. Because filming was set to begin shortly, Jonathan Frakes and LeVar Burton had to borrow Avery Brooks and Colm Meaney's costumes for DS9, respectively.
