Star Trek: Insurrection

Star Trek: Movie Novelizations: Book 9

J. M. Dillard

When the crew of the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-E discover a conspiracy with a species known as the Son'a to steal the peaceful Ba'ku's planet for its rejuvenating properties, they rebel against Starfleet.

Lieutenant Commander Data is temporarily transferred to an undercover mission observing the peaceful Ba'ku people. While on their planet, he malfunctions and, in a violation of the Prime Directive, reveals the presence of the joint Federation-Son'a task force observing the Ba'ku.

Admiral Matthew Dougherty contacts the Enterprise to obtain Data's schematics, but adamantly states the presence of the Enterprise is not needed. Captain Picard decides to ignore these orders and takes the Enterprise to capture Data and investigate the cause of his malfunction.

The Enterprise crew discovers that the Ba'ku are technologically advanced, but have rejected its use to live simpler lives. Due to unique radiation emanating from their planet's rings, they are effectively immortal. Dougherty's allies, the Son'a, are a decrepit race who use medical techniques to prevent death - and they wish to forcibly relocate the Ba'ku, then steal the rejuvenating effects of the planet, which will result in its destruction.

But the crew of the starship Enterprise, in a startling rejection of their oaths and orders, has decided that they will do whatever they must to stop that from happening...
