From the editorial:

I've always viewed Star Trek fanzines as an outlet for stories we wouldn't normally see on television or in the moves; crossovers to other science fiction universes, humor, sequels to episodes already aired, stories focusing on minor characters, etc... The Borg return in more ways than you can imagine, we see little Molly O'Brien all grown up in "Future Drams", we glimpse a terrifying alternate universe in the Deep Space Nine novella "Times that Try Men's Paghs," we see one fan's view of what happened after "Generations" in "Final Respects," and we learn how Picard's time as Locutus affected on of his old friends in "The Sound of Friendship Lost." You'll also find reviews, poetry, artwork, and a unique satire written by Ross Brummer and beautifully illustrated by his daughter.
