Issue 1
While an Imperial Planets fleet bombards Durla, forcing the shapeshifting species into submission, a team of young adventurers from the 30th-century is returning home in a time bubble, and the Enterprise is recalled to Earth. The time bubble is caught in a vortex and must make an emergency landing. Kirk and his crew beam down to San Francisco. Cosmic Boy, Saturn Girl, Shadow Lass, Chameleon Boy, Braniac 5 and Lightning Lad find themselves on 23rd-century Earth, but it's not their Earth. Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Uhura, Sulu and Chekov find themselves on 23rd-century Earth too, and it's not their Earth either. The humans living on the heart of the Imperial Planets are the most rapacious and power-hungry sentients in recorded history.

Issue 2
The unseen emperor of the Imperial Planets announces victory over Durla and a threat analysis of Organian, Controller, Klingon, Khund and Borg relations. The Legionnaires escape from a mob, but have to leave their damaged time capsule behind. On the other side of the continent, Kirk and his crew steal a shuttle and escape security forces, giving Spock time to study the history of this Earth. Brainy detects another time anomaly and directs the Legionnaires west to the site, setting up a confrontation between Legion and Starfleet personnel. Meanwhile, Imperial security takes an interest in the abandoned time capsule.

Issue 3
Following a brief exchange of phaser blasts and super-powers, Starfleet officers and Legionnaires stop posturing and begin discussing their common problem. While learning that neither group belongs in this timeline, they also learn a little about their respective homes, the United Federation of Planets and the United Planets. Spock and Brainiac 5 believe that the timestream has been altered, erasing their timelines from existence. Then the Imperial Elite arrive. Comprised of familiar alien adversaries, the Elite order a surrender for immediate judgment and sentencing. Enterprise crew members pair up with Legionnaires to overcome the Elite, then join forces again to correct the timestream. One joint team will look for a temporal disturbance in the past, while the other will examine a temporal disturbance in the present.

Issue 4
In the present, the security chief warns his Emperor that evidence of time-travelers has been found. The Emperor doesn't believe the report. If true, an unnamed individual would have warned him. In the past, a team lead by Spock and Brainiac 5 misses their prehistoric temporal target by several weeks, finding cavemen with energy weapons and cybernetic animals. In the present, a team led by Kirk and Lightning Lad find their opportunity to sneak into the Emperor's palace, with time for Kirk to hit on Shadow Lass. In the past, the leader of the cavemen is the leader of the Emperor in the present, and everyone recognizes him. But who is the other?

Issue 5
Trapped in the present, in the heart of the Imperial palace and imprisoned in the past, in a wood and stone village, Starfleet officers and Legionnaires look for a way out of their predicament while they recap the history of the immortal known as Flint and Vandal Savage. No one understands how this version of the immortal became the undying lord and ruler of the Imperial Planets. In the present, the Emperor informs his time traveling captives that their intelligence on how history might have transpired will help prevent the mistakes made on other Earths. In the past, the source of the Emperor's control over time is also a prisoner; and he's peeved. |

Issue 6
In the present, the Emperor introduces his Starfleet and Legion guests to the tender mercies of the agony booth to learn where their colleagues have traveled in time. In the distant past, the other Starfleet/Legion team must free an all-powerful and somewhat sarcastic being from his prison, while under attack by cavemen and their savage beasts. Kirk stalls for time by getting under the Emperor's skin, while Brainiac 5 and Spock deduce how to release the prisoner. And the timeline is repaired. Flint, now an old man who passes the time painting, receives a visit from an ancient adversary, and has a quiet chat. |
