Synopsis:
While exploring the Delta
Triangle, where many starships have disappeared, the U.S.S.
Enterprise is attacked by several Klingon vessels. During the
fight, the Enterprise and a Klingon ship slip into a space-time
warp where a starship graveyard is discovered to hold ships from
all over the galaxy. The Klingon ship fires at the Enterprise but
the torpedo is neutralized and the two ships captains are brought
to a trial by the inhabitants of this dimension, called Elysia.
The council is made up of all races from across the universe and
led by a Vulcan, Xerius. He explains that no one has been able to
escape from this area, so the descendants of the crews have
learned to co-exist in a peaceful state. Violence is not permitted
and all weaponry is immediately neutralized.
Scotty discovers that the timewarp is disintegrating the
Enterprise's dilithium crystals, and insists that they must leave
the trap soon or they will be powerless. The Klingons agree to
link ships and cooperate by sharing warp power and personnel to
escape. However, Spock learns that the Klingon Captain, Kor, wants
to destroy the Enterprise when they break free of the time warp by
using a specially calibrated explosive device in the warp drive.
The Enterprise and Klingon crew celebrate their impending escape
but when a Klingon slips away to plant the explosive, Kirk stops
her and diffuses the bomb. The two ships leave the time warp and
separate, with Kor claiming full credit for saving the two
vessels.
