With the aid of Captain Robert DeSoto of the , Voyager security chief Lieutenant Tuvok infiltrates the Maquis, and must gain the trust of cell leaders Chakotay and Cal Hudson before the terrorists use the artifact to throw the DMZ into chaos!

When the final artifact is unearthed on Narendra III, it leads to several mysterious disappearances throughout Federation and Klingon space – including Federation Ambassadors Spock and Worf. Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the Starship Enterprise joins forces with Captain  of the IKS Gorkon – but even the greatest vessels of two nations may not be enough when the deadly secret of the final artifact is revealed!
