Review of the Enterprises

NX-01: A tin can with lasers and a rocket attached. Held together by duct tape, Charles Trip Tucker III's prayers to the southern accent, and (maybe) a nail. NCC-1701: the RMS Titanic meets the Bismark, in space. It was refit, what, six times? Indestructable. Except by KirkNCC-1701-A: copycat NCC-1701-B: Excelsior pro+. Also, it just dissappearred. NCC-1701-C: Personally my favorite design. Couldn't make a show about it cause it ends with every main character dead. NCC-1701-D: My dad thinks it's super ugly. I don't think it's that bad. Costa Concordia meets star destroyer. NCC-1701-E: Blew up a Borg cube on a whim. Janeway'd the Scimitar. But it couldn't survive Worf. NCC-1701-F:Like the Enterprise-A but without the nostalgia factor, so it's just bad. Design is cool though NCC-1701-G: Should be the USS Sappho with its commanding officers. I'd fly that ship.

Star Trek: Insurrection works as a big-screen episode. There is a prime-directive debate, a morality play, sci-fi shoot-em-up and a lot of character work. There are satisfying character arcs and enough to think about after the movie ends that make it worth repeat viewings.

For my poster I featured Son'a Collector within the Enterprise-E. Enjoy!

Name: U.S.S. Enterprise (alternate)

Registry: NCC-1701-E

Class: Sovereign-class

Captain: Jean-Luc Picard

Affiliation: Starfleet

Year: 2382

In an alternate universe where the Borg came in a request for aid against the  Voldranaii, invaders from another universe, Enterprise led the combined Federation/Borg fleet sent to stop them in the Mutara Sector. Seven, who had been undercover with the Borg while maintaining her individuality, was their liaison with the Queen. Worf headed a strike team to the Voldranaii ship and there it was discovered they were under Borg control anyway. Seven was activated by the Queen, who knew all along her true allegiance, and disabled the fleet with the aid of the prefix codes. The Borg Queen had engineered this ruse and explained as much to Picard, wanting him back as Locutus. Dozens of ships were lost in the ensuing battle, survivors were beamed to Enterprise, including Will Riker and Deanna Troi from Titan. Picard was seriously injured and by the time he came to the Borg had already overrun Cardassia and Betazed and they were on the run, the rest of the fleet scattered. They were found anyway, and Picard decided to try and lose them in the Typhon Expanse. There, a Data from 500 years in the future, rebuilt and sent by Locutus, told them of a way of destroying the Borg forever, but would require them to hand Picard over to the Queen to infect her. Picard did not see any other alternative and sought out the Queen’s Vinculum. They warped in, Picard, Seven (now severed again from the collective) and Data, who would register as a drone. Riker kept the Borg focused on the Enterprise in the meantime. When the Queen was defeated and the virus spread, Seven of Nine attempted to save as many liberate drones as she could. Kira Archer, a bridge officer, mutinied and wanted to put an end to the Borg, and fired torpedoes at the Borg Vinculum. She was taken into custody, and Picard and Seven were beamed back to the ship. Future Data had disappeared. The Enterprise made it out of the destruction intact but severely damaged, Seven however was did not survive the ordeal.

Another look at a big computer game (and science fiction) franchise featured in this issue, although a Star Wars game did manage to sneak into the front cover text. One of the game previews within was for a port-to-the-PC of Final Fantasy VII.
