Doomsday World (Star Trek Next Generation, No. 12)
<P> The planet Kirlos -- an artificial world built by a mysterious long-dead race called the Ariantu. Kirlos is now home to many races from both the Federation and the K'vin Hegemony, who have enjoyed years of peaceful co-existence and profitable trade. The planet also hold a wealth of undiscovered archaeological treasures, which the <I>Enterpriseâ„¢</I> and its crew are dispatched to help uncover. <P> Sent to the surface to assist an archaeological team, Geordi, Data, and Worf soon find themselves cut off from the <I>Enterprise</I> -- and the prime suspects in a series of terrorist attacks. The three <I>Enterprise</I> crewmen are imprisoned, relations between the K'vin and the Federation begin to crumble, and Kirlos' ancient underground machinery awakens from a centuries long dormancy, primed to release the most powerful destructive force ever known.
