QWhat is 'The Final Frontier' about?
AWhile most of the Enterprise's crew are on shore leave, chief engineer Montgomery 'Scotty' Scott (James Doohan) and communications officer Lt Uhura (Nichelle Nichols) stay behind to effect repairs on the new Enterprise NCC-1701A. When they learn of a terrorist uprising on Nimbus III, the planet of Galactic Peace, they are ordered by Starfleet to reassemble their crew and investigate. A renegade Vulcan named Sybok (Laurence Luckinbill) has taken three ambassadors -- Klingon General Korrd (Charles Cooper), Romulan Caithlin Dar (Cynthia Gouw) -- all for the purpose of commandeering the Enterprise in order to search the center of the galaxy for the planet Sha Ka Ree, which he is certain is the home of the Creator. Unfortunately, hot on their tail is a Klingon Bird of Prey, piloted by Klingon commander Klaa (Todd Bryant) who is trying to make a name for himself by capturing Admiral James T Kirk (William Shatner).
