By: Dayton Ward
Located in an area of non-aligned space
near Federation and Romulan territory, the Kondaii system is home to a unique
stellar phenomenon: a spatial rift that opens every three years in proximity
to the system's sole inhabited planet. Only during this brief period
is communication possible with the small, mineral-rich planetoid inside the
rift. The local population has established a mining colony on this
planetoid, and for the limited duration that the rift is open, a massive
interplanetary operation is set into motion: ferrying mineral ore to the
home planet while simultaneously transferring personnel and replenishing
essential supplies and equipment - everything necessary to sustain the colony
before it once again enters forced isolation.
While studying the rift, the science vessel U.S.S. Huang Zhong is severely
damaged and crash-lands on the planetoid. After the starship Enterprise
arrives to conduct rescue operations, evidence quickly points to the rift's
aftificial nature. It is a feat far beyond the capacity of the local
inhabitants, and presents an alluring mystery for Captain James T. Kirk and
his crew. It also attracts the attention of the Romulans, who are most
interested in studying and perhaps seizing this supposed advanced technology
- by any means necessary.
