In an interesting Star Trek adventure, the Enterprise discovers an immense ancient spacecraft full of technological marvels, but must find a solution when the habitat's shifting orbit sends it on a collision course with an inhabited planet in the same solar system. The concept and description of the ancient spacecraft is particularly intriguing.
