Presenting a Star Trek storyline so grand in scope, it took two generations to unfold. What starts with James T. Kirk concludes with Jean-Luc Picard, as a planned first-contact mission at Modala goes awry following a violent coup incited by an outside power plotting secretly to gain control of the local government.

Collected in this volume is DC Comics’ The Modala Imperative, a pair of connected four-part miniseries bridging two Starfleet crews a century apart, courtesy of writers Michael Jan Friedman and Peter David and artist Pablo Marcos.
