Die fantastischen Abenteuer von Captain William T. Riker und der Crew der U. S. S. Titan. Eine der beliebtesten neuen Star Trek-Romanserien, die direkt an die Geschehnisse des letzten großen STAR TREK-Films NEMESIS anschließt. Praetor Shinzon ist tot. Das Machtvakuum, das durch sein Ableben entstanden ist, hat das Romulanische Sternenimperium an den Rand des Bürgerkrieges gebracht – konkurrierende Parteien wetteifern um die Kontrolle. Sollte das Imperium fallen, könnte das den gesamten Raumsektor ins Chaos stürzen. Um die Ordnung wieder herzustellen, wird die langerwartete Forschungsmission der Titan verschoben. Riker soll die Verhandlungen über Machtverteilung zwischen den romulanischen Fraktionen leiten. Währenddessen organisieren sich Teile des Tal Shiar, des gefürchteten romulanischen Geheimdienstes, hinter den Kulissen neu, um ihr eigenes Machtspiel zu spielen.

The fragile Collation of Planets is convinced that in order to hold the fledgling alliance together, something must be done to halt the random destruction of civilian shipping. Under orders from Starfleet, Captain Jonathan Archer and Captain Erica Hernandez have been reduced to convoy duty.

Investigating the disappearance of a secret Romulan fleet, the U.S.S. Titan, commanded by Captain William Riker, is unexpectedly propelled more than 200,000 light-years into the Small Magellanic Cloud. One of the Milky Way's satellite galaxies, the Cloud is also home to the Neyel, the long-sundered offshoots of Terran humanity, with whom the Federation has had no contact in over eighty years. Nearby, Riker's uncertain ally, Commander Donatra of the Romulan Warbird Valdore, rescues a young Neyel, the survivor of a mysterious cosmic upheaval that seems at times to be both unraveling and reweaving the very fabric of space...the fulfillment of an apocalyptic vision that has already claimed millions of lives. Titan's science team soon finds evidence that the ravaging of Neyel space is the work of a vast and powerful intelligence: the stirrings of a dormant consciousness that is maintaining the existence of the Small Magellanic Cloud -- and all life within it -- from one moment to the next. And if it should awaken, the consequences are unimaginable. As Riker considers his options, his new crew struggles with the scientific and philosophical implications of what they've discovered...while the young Neyel in their midst forges a bond with the captain, conjuring old ghosts Riker has yet to lay to rest.

Pax Galactica. Enemies become allies. Old secrets are at last revealed. Long-held beliefs and widely accepted truths are challenged. Man turns to leisurely pursuits. In this golden age, two old friends are drawn together. They seek to understand, and wonder how what they have long believed, what they have been taught, was never so. Over two hundred years ago, the life of one of Starfleet's earliest pioneers came to a tragic end, and Captain Jonathan Archer, the legendary commander of Earth's first warp-five starship, lost a close friend. Or so it seemed for many years. But with the passage of time, and the declassification of certain crucial files, the truth about that fateful day -- the day that Commander Charles "Trip" Tucker III didn't die -- could finally be revealed. Why did Starfleet feel it was necessary to rewrite history? And why only now can the truth be told?

The hidden history of the Star Trek universe is revealed in this new series charting the seventy years between Captain Kirk's disappearance and the beginning of The Next Generation. Nearly a decade after Captain Kirk vanished, his protege, Captain Hiraku Sulu of the USS Excelsior, leads a dangerous mission into uncharted political waters. Unprecedented peace talks with the violently xenophobic Tholian Assembly trigger a deadly confrontation aboard the Excelsior. Now Sulu and his crew - including Chekov, Rand, Chapel, Tuvok, and Akaar - are thrust into an unexpected conflict between the Tholians and a mysterious new enemy, the Neyel... whose origins, if revealed, could lead to war with Earth itself. As the Tholians weave a web of vengeance, the Excelsior is flung beyond the galaxy and the crew discovers the hidden truth about the alien Neyel, forcing Sulu to question where his responsibilities lie - with the fragile peace he must preserve, or with the victims of his own world's tragic past.

After nearly a decade of conflict with adversaries like the Borg and the Dominion, the United Federation of Planets embarks on a new era of peaceful exploration and diplomacy. Leading this mission is the U.S.S. Titan, under the command of Captain William T. Riker, featuring the most diverse crew in Starfleet history. However, their mission faces immediate challenges. In the aftermath of Star Trek ® Nemesis, the death of Praetor Shinzon has left the Romulan Star Empire on the brink of civil war, as various factions vie for control. This instability threatens to destabilize the entire region. To address this crisis, Starfleet delays Titan's exploration mission, redirecting Riker to facilitate power-sharing discussions among the competing Romulan factions. As Riker and his crew take their first steps toward establishing a new Romulus, they confront the resurgence of the Tal Shiar, the notorious Romulan intelligence agency, which is plotting its own agenda. With no other assistance available, Riker and the Titan crew become the last hope to prevent the quadrant from descending into chaos.
