By: John M. Ford Dilithium. In crystalline form, the most valuable mineral in the galaxy. It powers the Federation's starships . . . and the Klingon Empire's battlecruisers. Now on a small, out-of-the-way planet named Direidi, the greatest fortune in dilithium crystals ever seen has been found. Under the terms of the Organian Peace Treaty, the planet will go to the side best able to develop the planet and its resources. Each side will contest the prize with the prime of its fleet. For the Federation - Captain James T. Kirk and the starship Enterprise. For the Klingon's - Captain Kaden Vestai-Oparai and the Fire Blossom. Only the Diredians are writing their own script for this contest - a script that propels the crew of the Enterprise into their strangest adventure yet!
Strange adventure is right! This is a VERY unusual story. Here's something interesting: Under the terms of the Organian Peace Treaty, the planet will go to the side best able to develop the planet and its resources. That's all well and good, but, what about the inhabitants of the planet? Don't they get a say as to which organization they want to belong to? What if they decide not to belong to either side? I've never been a fan of the Orgainian Peace Treaty.
