Background information
 This graphic novel was re-released in  by IDW Publishing, under its Star Trek Classics line.

The paperback edition states that the comic "kick-started a new era of Star Trek comic strip excitement".
The following blurb seems to place the comic at the same time as  to : "The battle for Deep Space Nine and the wormhole has gone badly, so where - in DS9's hour of need - is the Federation's flagship, the Enterprise E? Captain Picard and crew are up to their necks in a full-blown invasion of their own, attacked on all sides by the fearsome race known as the Gorn".
