Publication history
Vol. 1
Volume one was published from February 1984–Nov. 1988. It featured stories set after Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Consequently, these are the only notable Star Trek: The Original Series stories to not feature the character of Spock.
In addition to the Star Trek original cast, original characters in this series included the bigoted Native American Ensign William Bearclaw, Ensign Nancy Bryce, the bird-like Dr. Chu-Sa, Lt. Commander Maria Morelli, Ensign Elizabeth Sherwood, and the Klingons Konom and Bernie. There were also appearances by Arex and M'Ress, previously seen in Star Trek: The Animated Series
