Plot [edit]
In 2305, a mysterious human (William Wellman Jr.) appears at a run-down outpost demanding the location of Captain James T. Kirk, only to find from the terrified data clerk (Ethan Phillips) that he was presumed dead saving the USS Enterprise-B 12 years earlier (at the opening of Star Trek Generations). Angrily declaring he "didn't wait 40 years to be cheated", the man overloads the outpost's systems, destroying it.
Meanwhile, Captain Nyota Uhura (Nichelle Nichols) attends the dedication of a new U.s.South. Enterprise (NCC-1701-M), a replica of the original 1701. It is designed every bit a museum ship and a tribute to all who served on the original Enterprise, especially to Captain Kirk'due south sacrifice, and is commanded by Kirk's nephew Peter (James Cawley). Uhura meets with Captains Pavel Chekov (Walter Koenig), head of Starfleet Security, and John Harriman (Alan Ruck), captain of the USS Enterprise-B, discussing old times and current events, including Chekov'southward delayed promotion to the admiralty. As they prepare to become underway, they receive a distress phone call from Thou-622, the planet housing the Guardian of Forever. Despite the fact the send is a museum, the Enterprise-M is the closest to the location and sets a course; upon inflow, Uhura, Chekov, and Harriman beam to the surface. There, they encounter the mysterious man from the outpost, revealed to be Charlie Evans, who had been encountered as a teenager with immense but uncontrolled mental powers during Kirk'southward first missions on the Enterprise. Imprisoned for four decades, Charlie is embittered by Kirk's decision to turn him over to the Thasians, and the fact that Kirk was lost in the Nexus 12 years earlier, before Evans could confront him. He decides to utilize the Guardian to alter the timeline and erase Kirk from history, past killing his mother before he was born.
Evans succeeds, and the timeline is altered beyond measure. The galaxy is governed past the Galactic Order, a militaristic land similar to the Terran Empire, just also including Klingons, Romulans, and Orions in their ranks. Information technology is ruled over by a mysterious being known but every bit "Curate Prime", and uses ships from the era of the original series, but with country-of-the-art weaponry. Harriman is a vicious mass murderer in this timeline, commanding the G.S.Southward. Conqueror (GOC-1701), this timeline's analog to the Enterprise. The Conquistador pursues a insubordinate vessel and disables information technology, capturing the crew – revealed to be Chekov (under the nom de guerre "Kittrick") and his shape-shifting companion Ragnar (Gary Graham), who pb a motility of freedom fighters against the Galactic Club. Harriman orders them taken to the brig, and sets a course for Vulcan, which has declared neutrality. On Vulcan, Uhura is married to Stonn (Lawrence Montaigne) and has several children; upon learning of the Conqueror 'south inflow, the Vulcans begin to evacuate the planet. Harriman summons Kittrick to the bridge to witness Vulcan'southward impending destruction for non supporting the Order, and unleashes an "Omega device" that destroys the entire planet.
While many of the fleeing Vulcan shuttles manage to escape, Uhura and her friend Tuvok (Tim Russ) are captured past the Conquistador and put in the brig with Kittrick and Ragnar. Through a meld with a mortally wounded Tuvok, Uhura recovers part of her memories of the old timeline, and convinces Kittrick (whom she knows by his original name) and Ragnar to help them escape and hijack the ship, taking it back to M-622 to apply the Guardian and restore the timeline. Harriman is also needed alive, as he was part of the landing party when the timeline was contradistinct, simply Kittrick rages that Harriman murdered his family and destroyed his home, and that "Pavel Chekov" died that day. Regardless, Harriman is taken prisoner and transported to the surface with Kittrick and Uhura, where they again encounter a repentant Charlie Evans. Realizing the fault in removing Kirk from the timeline, Evans restores the three'due south memories of their real timeline, while still keeping the memories of the altered timeline, as well. Evans at first refuses to help them restore the timeline, fearing the consequences; only then, the three are beamed back to the ship, where Koval (J. G. Hertzler), the Conquistador 's Klingon commencement officer, orders their executions, believing Harriman to have turned traitor. Equally Commander Garan (Garrett Wang) and his security officers have them to the conference room, Curate Prime number (Daamen Krall) has a few "last words" with Kittrick before his impending execution, before ordering Garan to the span. As the security officers raise their weapons, one of them shoots his comrade, revealing himself to be Ragnar, who hid among the coiffure.
Uhura recognizes Curate Prime every bit Gary Mitchell, a friend of James T. Kirk'south, who had been granted formidable mental ability after passing through the galactic barrier 40 years before. Insanely believing himself a living god, Mitchell was defeated by Kirk in the real timeline; in the altered timeline, with Kirk non there to finish him, Mitchell was able to impale the captain of the Enterprise – in this instance, Christopher Pike – and take control of the United Federation of Planets, refounding it every bit the Galactic Society. As they escape into the ship, a fleet of Kittrick'southward allies, led past Captain Galt (Herbert Jefferson Jr.) of the gratuitous send Liberty, engages the Conqueror, with Curate Prime leading a fleet of his own to destroy Kittrick and his rebellion. While Chekov and Harriman have command of the Conqueror, Uhura transports to the surface. Mitchell follows her, believing her to be Chekov/Kittrick, and tortures her, demanding his location. Charlie Evans steps in to protect her, using his Thasian-granted powers to battle the god-similar Mitchell. Beaten, Mitchell transports Janice Rand (Grace Lee Whitney) – the first woman Evans had ever met, when he was taken aboard the Enterprise – to distract him, letting off i last burst of free energy before escaping to his flagship. Angered and weakened, Mitchell orders the firing of his transport'due south Omega device, which will destroy both the captured Conqueror and the planet.
On the surface, Uhura convinces Evans to set things right, while in orbit, the Conqueror is severely damaged and about to be destroyed by a warp-core alienation. Harriman sets the ship on a standoff grade, simply captain control fails, and the Conqueror begins to drift off form; Chekov separates the saucer, which would allow the warp-core explosion, to ram it into Mitchell's flagship. Reaching out to try to divert information technology, Mitchell finds his powers accept disappeared, and as the Conqueror 's applied science section explodes, the shockwave sending the saucer right into the flagship; Mitchell screams Kittrick'south name as his ship is destroyed. At the aforementioned moment, Evans goes through the Guardian and returns to the point where he visited the outpost and demanded to know where Kirk was. Waiting for Evans this time, instead of the data clerk, was his future cocky, who shoots him with a phaser. The timeline reverts to normal, and the landing party returns to the museum ship.
One year later, Uhura – motivated past her memories of the alternate timeline – marries Stonn on Vulcan. Chekov is at last promoted to admiral, while Harriman announces his intention to run for the Federation Council. Among the guests at the wedding is Janice Rand, who presents Chekov with a souvenir for his promotion – a tribble, which Rand assures him has been neutered. Uhura toasts the last 40 years of run a risk, while Chekov toasts to the next forty, remarking that Spock always said in that location were possibilities.

The serial was produced with a budget of $150,000. Actors were paid according to SAG guidelines, merely others involved in the making of the miniseries helped to produce information technology with little or no pay as "a labor of dear".[9]

Trek actors accept a special relationship with their fans ... they regarded the project, not only as the ultimate give thanks you to Gene Roddenberry and the original stars of Expedition, but [as well] as a thank-you to [the fans] who supported the series over the final 40 years.
Executive producer Douglas Conway had tried to assemble more than of the original series cast, simply when George Takei (Hikaru Sulu) was not available, this led to the idea of including Ruck's graphic symbol as captain.[10]
