Origin of Data

The Origin of Data is an addendum to The Next Generation's miniseries, Mirror Broken, set in the mirror universe.

Description[]

In the otherdimensional Mirror universe there is no United Federation of Planets, only a cruel Terran Empire, where advancement comes through assassination, brutality is commonplace and kindness is a weakness. The Terran Empire is on its last legs in its war with the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance, but Captain Jean-Luc Picard has learned of a final chance for victory: a revolutionary new Galaxy-class starship that could turn the tide of the war. The ship is called Enterprise. And Jean-Luc Picard intends to take it. On the eve of the theft, Picard's science officer and co-conspirator, Lieutenant Commander Data, considers his loyalties...
