Captain Freeman and Mariner take the fight straight to the skies in the stolen U.S.S. Illinois, charging headlong into an old-school showdown against a mysterious wave of space invaders surrounding Laapoonia! Somewhere in the chaos, Boimler and his away team may be trapped—if they’re even still alive. But as the missing Laapeerians’ fate grows more uncertain and Starfleet closes in on its rogue crew, the clock is ticking faster than a falling pixel.
