Plot Summary

The Uss Excelsior, commanded by Captain Hikaru Sulu discovers that Praxis, the most important klingon moon has been destroyed in an accident. Due to that, the Klingons have an estimated 50 years before their ozone layer is completely depleted, and they all die. They have only 1 choice - to join the Federation, which will mean an end to 70 years of wars and neutral zones. Captain James T. Kirk and crew are called upon to help in the negotiations because of their "experience" of the Klingon race. Peace talks don't quite go to plan, when the enterprise is accused of firing at the klingon starship and eventually Kirk and McCoy are tried and convicted of assassination, and sent to Rura Penthe, a snowy hard-labor prison camp. Will they manage to escape, will the enterprise crew help them ? And will the peace negotiations take place to finally be in peace with the Klingons ?
