Captain Freeman and Mariner take the fight straight to the skies in the stolen U.S.S. Illinois, charging headlong into an old-school showdown against a mysterious wave of space invaders surrounding Laapoonia! Somewhere in the chaos, Boimler and his away team may be trapped — if they’re even still alive. But as the missing Laapeerians’ fate grows more uncertain and Starfleet closes in on its rogue crew, the clock is ticking faster than a falling pixel.
Can the Lower Deckers outmaneuver both their enemies and their own command before it’s game over?
Find out in this month’s explosive issue of Star Trek: Lower Decks!
