The story revolves around the last 12 days of the voyage of the USS ''Grissom'', before her destruction at the [[Genesis Planet]] in the [[Mutara sector]] in the year [[2285]]. This came about at the hands of [[Klingon]] [[Commander]] [[Kruge]]. The cast not only includes familiar Star Trek characters but also introduces new characters. The story is unusual in that all the personnel aboard the ''Grissom'', with the exception of Lieutenant [[Saavik]], will be dead by the last episode, almost a ''Titanic in Space'' story. The story is firmly set within DC comics continuity ({{mb|DC Comics}}: ''{{mb|Star Trek: The Original Series}}'') and continues on directly from ({{film|2}}).
