Orion Archives: 2293-2294 The Final Hiatus is a gen and het Star Trek: TOS anthology that reprints content published in previous Orion Press zines in particular from Orion. Some of the later issues also reprint online fanfic. The early issues are numbered, later on the titles are organized by the fictional timeframe the zine takes place in (many Orion Press zines take place in a vaguely shared universe at least as far as the basic chronology of the Trek universe is concered. Their website offers timelines and such that the zines adhere to). Issues are still being released as of 2009, and there are also re-releases of older Orion Archives issues. A full list is available at the Orion Press website.

It has repelled Klingon invaders time and time again, earning its reigning monarch, Princess Teresa de la Vega Morales Ruiz-Mendoza McCoy, the admiration of her planet’s millions of inhabitants. It is to this beautiful planet, settled by Spanish settlers from early in the 22nd century, that Peter Kirk has decided to go. Unfortunately, while there, the events which become Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country transpire, and the troubled nephew of Captain Kirk, the young wife of Doctor Leonard McCoy, her half-Klingon son, and a security officer booted out of the Academy by James T. Kirk himself, find themselves spiraling toward what seems to be an inevitable disaster. Note: Sexual situations.)
