The U.S.S. Enterprise responds
to an urgent distress call from a mining colony orbiting Klondike VI, a

rings are coming apart, threatening the safety of the colony and its
inhabitants. Searching for a way to avert the disaster, Captain James T.
Kirk and his crew investigate a mysterious alien probe that has just
