"In Memory Yet Green..." was the first issue in the four-part TNG miniseries The Modala Imperative, which continued a story begun century earlier in the TOS era. Released by DC Comics in July 1991, it was collected in an omnibus in October 1992. This story was written by Peter David and drawn by Pablo Marcos.
Summary[]
On Modala, a shadowy group compels the last, exiled former member of the Krisaia regime to commit suicide. Meanwhile, Stroyka reviews celebratory plans for Modala's 100th anniversary of freedom from the Krisaia in anticipation of the arrival of the USS Enterprise-D, but Owz complains that Stroyka has been ignoring needs of the Modalan populace all year. That night, Stroyka is awakened by a protest march led by Owz, and Stroyka has them arrested overnight to calm them down. He shares frustrations with his wife, who reminds him that he was once rebellious.
At Starbase 42, Admiral Leonard McCoy boards the Enterprise and teases the bridge crew. En route to Modala, the starship picks up a passenger from the freighter Tornado, who turns out to be Ambassador Spock.
Log Entries[]
- Captain's log, Stardate 44375.7:
- We have arrived at Starbase 42 to pick up the gentleman who is to be the guest of honor at the 100th anniversary celebrations of Modala. It is Federation record that the Enterprise, NCC-1701, commanded by James T. Kirk, was instrumental a century ago in helping an oppressed faction of the planet's populace find the strength to throw off the shackles of their oppressors... ...Once that burden was overcome, a golden age of prosperity ensued on Modala, leading to their present wealthy and flourishing way of life. Although the original Enterprise crew is long since gone, the Modalan government has requested the presence of the starship currently bearing that proud name... ...As well as the attendance of any of the original four crew members known to be involved in that great time in Modalan history. Of those four, who have gone down in Modalan history books as heroes... ... only one was available. However, Admiral Leonard McCoy's status is certainly legendary enough... even to non-Modalans... that we can all consider ourselves singularly honored by his presence.
