Following the six-issue limited series, TNG: Beginnings, DC launched its second, longer Star Trek run with even more adventures featuring Picard and his crew. The series kicks off with the Enterprise-D arriving on the planet Raimon where Captain Picard is invited to take part in an important celebration. Riker is suspicious, though, fearing that his captain might be walking into a trap. Set between the second and the third season of The Next Generation, these stories feature all the favorite characters from the TV show while also introducing crew members unique to the comics.
