A massive building on Earth housed the supreme headquarters of the Space Federation – the organization which had banded together the peoples of planets all over the nearer universe against hostile space empires...

SummaryEdit

Lured to the hitherto unknown planet Plixes, Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock are taken prisoner while the planetary leaders Gokron and Chekra, by means of advanced science, assume their bodies and minds. Gokron and Chekra then have themselves beamed to a Federation conference - their mission to destroy every delegate and disrupt the whole Federation.
