The crew of the Starship Enterprise must confront a clone of their captain who has seized control of the Romulan Star Empire.

The story

The crew of the starship Enterprise prepare to bid farewell to newly married officers William Riker and Deanna Troi. En route to a second ceremony on Troi's homeworld, they discover an energy reading on the planet Kolarus III near the Romulan Neutral Zone. Captain Jean-Luc Picard, security officer Worf, and android officer Data land on the planet and discover the remnants of an android resembling Data, named B-4. The trio is attacked by the native population and leaves the planet with B-4, which they deduce to be an earlier prototype built by Data's creator.
