The Enterprise encounters a rift in space-time that appears to have no discernible event horizon; it both is, and is not, there. After a brief moment a battered and damaged ship comes out of the rift, transmitting a distress call and identifying itself as the USS Enterprise NCC 1701-C, a ship lost with all hands twenty-two years in the past and the predecessor to the Enterprise D. After the Enterprise C emerges from the rift a dramatic shift occurs on the bridge of the Enterprise, the bright, open-spaced bridge is replaced by a dark military bridge with multiple tactical stations, Worf and Counselor Troi are missing and Lieutenant Tasha Yar, killed in the episode "Skin of Evil", is chief tactical officer. The Federation is at War with the Klingon Empire and the Federation is losing; they are barely six months away from surrender.

Plot Details Guinan is the only one who appears to notice the change, not knowing for sure what is happening, but knowing that "something is wrong". She approaches Captain Picard about her thoughts and while not entirely dismissive of her feelings, he cannot act on them without more evidence. Patrick Stewart as Captain Jean-Luc Picard Jean-Luc Picard is a character in the Star Trek fictional universe, the captain of the USS Enterprise-D and the Enterprise_E. He was played by British actor Patrick Stewart in the television series Star Trek: The Next Generation and resulting films. ...
Captain Rachel Garrett, Commanding Officer of the USS Enterprise C, wakes up in sickbay and is startled at the modern Starfleet uniforms and the advanced medical bay the likes of which she has never seen before "even on a Starbase", even though Captain Picard initially relayed orders that no one from the Enterprise C is to know about "where, or when they are", Captain Garrett's perceptions of her surroundings force Captain Picard to acknowledge the inevitability of them discovering the truth. Captain Rachel Garrett In the Star Trek fictional universe, Rachel Garrett was captain of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-C), an Ambassador class starship. ...

Starfleet Command In the Star Trek fictional universe, Starfleet is the paramilitary defense, research, diplomacy, and exploration force of the United Federation of Planets (UFP) with – as of the late 24th century – hundreds of starships and starbases at its disposal. ...
A starbase is usually portrayed as a facility strategically positioned in space used to repair and re-supply starships. ...
Captain Garrett initially wants to remain in the future and assist the Federation with Klingon War, but Captain Picard informs her that the Federation is on the brink of collapse and one more ship will not help although most of Starfleet's enlisted and non-command personnel are not aware of this. Captain Picard informs her that if what Guinan believes is true, that there was not supposed to be a war, then the Enterprise C may have had a role in the peace that should be in place and is in place, in the alternate timeline.
It is decided, against the objections of Commander Riker, that the Enterprise C should return to its own time and perhaps, by doing so, alter the course of history as it has unfolded in this alternate timeline. While Captain Picard and Captain Garrett are on board the Enterprise C supervising the final repairs, a Klingon scout ship locates the two ships, opens fire, and quickly makes her escape to inform the Klingon High Command of the location of the two Federation Starships. For the political scientist, see William H. Riker. ...
The Enterprise C is caught with shields down and suffers moderate damage. Captain Picard returns safely to the Enterprise, but Captain Garrett is killed in a bridge explosion.
Lieutenant Yar notices the strange way that Guinan, the enigmatic and wise bartender, reacts to her presence for the first time seeing her since she noticed the ship's change and against her objections, tells why she reacted so strangely. Guinan tells her that she never actually met Tasha Yar before coming aboard the Enterprise D; all she knew about her was that she died a meaningless death. Because of this revelation, Yar asks Captain Picard for permission to transfer to the Enterprise C as a tactical officer. Captain Picard emotionally acquiesces to her request when Yar objects to dying a meaningless death.
Lieutenant Richard Castillo, the last remaining Enterprise C bridge officer and a budding romantic interest with Tasha Yar, assumes command of the Enterprise C and prepares to take the ship back through the rift which is now growing unstable to reenter combat with the Romulans attacking the Klingon outpost.
As the Enterprise C is entering the rift three Klingon K'vort Battlecruisers attack the Enterprise D and outflank it. There is a battle in which the Enterprise D manages to destroy one of the battleships. However the ship suffers major damage and is close to destruction. The bridge erupts in fire and Commander Riker suffers what appears to be a fatal wound when a console explosion embeds metal fragments into his neck. The Klingons demand the Enterprise's surrender. Picard sneers at this request and mutters defiantly to himself,"That will be the day". He leaps up and takes over Riker's station. He launches a last few rounds of phasor fire and buys the Enterprise C more time. The Enterprise C manages to enter the rift successfully and in another striking change, the Enterprise is returned to normal and the rift that altered time vanishes before the Enterprise D can scan it. Worf and Troi are back and the Enterprise is on its way to meet a Klingon delegation. In the last scene, Guinan asks the bridge if all is well and then says to Geordi: "Tell me about Tasha Yar." Geordi La Forge is a character in the Star Trek fictional universe. ...
The Klingon War We learn in this episode's timeline that the United Federation of Planets and the Klingon Empire have been engaged in a bloody and costly war for almost two decades, peace efforts having failed for the last time. This creates somewhat of a plot contradiction because Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country displays that the Klingon Empire is no longer capable of effectively waging war on the Federation. This is due to the destruction of Praxis which exacerbated the decrepit state of Klingon Economics; in fact, some Starfleet officers suggested that the Federation could easily win the war and dismantle the Klingon Empire. If the war continued in an alternate timeline it is unlikely, considering available canon information, that the Klingons would be able to defeat the Federation, especially in a protracted war of attrition that is shown in this episode. The Federation economy could sustain an output far greater than the poorer Klingon Empire. Alternatively, the war Picard speaks of is less than two decades old at that moment, which would have given the Empire plenty of time after the events of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country to recover while at peace with the Federation. Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (Paramount Pictures, 1991; see also 1991 in film) is the sixth feature film based on the popular Star Trek science fiction television series. ...

It is revealed in this episode that the Enterprise C was supposed to be lost twenty-two years ago answering a distress call from a Klingon outpost near Narendra III, which was under attack from Romulan warbirds. In the proper timeline, the sacrifice of the Enterprise C's crew in a valiant attempt to save the Klingon outpost, for which they had no prior contact or concern, persuaded the Klingon High Council that the Federation was honorable.
In the timeline created when the Enterprise C entered the temporal rift during the Romulan onslaught, however, it appeared as though the Federation heard the Klingon distress call and abandoned them to their fate, an act considered highly dishonorable by the Klingons, who hold honor as the prime virtue. As a result of the failure of the Federation Starfleet to assist the Narendra III outpost, the Klingons abandoned peace negotiations and the subdued hostility that permeated Federation-Klingon relations for decades broke out into open war. Romulans are a fictionalized alien species in the Star Trek universe. ...
The Military Federation This episode shows several pronounced changes from the normal way of life in the Federation Universe. The first noticeable change is that the bridge changes from the bright and open bridge of a Galaxy-class starship into a dark, military bridge with multiple tactical control panels and security personnel. Another difference is that the enlisted crewmembers wear white belts and sashes and the whole crew wears phasers as standard issue equipment. In this episode the ship is referred to as a "battleship"; the legendary "Captain's Log" and "Stardate" are replaced by a "Military Log" and a "Combat Date", respectively. Another noted difference is, that (for obvious reasons), there are no children present on the ship. Stardate is one of the dating conventions used in the fictional Star Trek universe. ...
Also in the episode Lt. Yar states the Enterprise was "the first Galaxy-class warship built by the Federation", a change that possibly indicates the USS Galaxy was not built as a warship, but that the Enterprise and possibly other subsequent Galaxy-class ships were built as warships. In the Star Trek fictional universe, the United Federation of Planets (UFP) – widely referred to and known as merely the Federation – is an interstellar federal state of more than 150 member planets and thousands of colonies. ...
This episode saw the return of Tasha Yar, killed in the episode "Skin of Evil" by Armus, a malevolent being of pure evil incarnate. It is inferred that the war that engulfed the Federation kept Counselor Troi and her escorts away from the events that caused them to crash land on Planet Vagra II; therefore, Counselor Troi was never trapped in Shuttlecraft 13 and the Enterprise D had no reason to go there. In the alternate timeline we also see that Counselor Troi is never seen on the bridge or with the senior officers, as her presence would be inappropriate for a battleship's tactical center. Also, we see that Lieutenant Worf is not aboard the Enterprise in the alternate timeline, for obvious reasons. Skin of Evil is a first season episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, first broadcast April 25, 1988. ...
On the technical side, replicators are said to be on low-power reserves so more energy can be offered to the ship's tactical and defense systems. The crew eats standard military rations called "TKLs" that are non-energy intensive to replicate, and Tasha Yar says the ship can transport up to 6,000 ground troops (possibly Starfleet marines). In the fictional Star Trek universe, a replicator is a machine capable of converting energy into matter and vice-versa. ...
The existence of Starfleet Marines has never been canonically verified in any of the incarnations of Star Trek. ...
