description: Firestorm When a convert Elasian mining operation interferes with a Federation geological expedition, Captain James T. Kirk and the crew of the" Starship Enterprise(TM) " are dispatched to the planet Rakatan to mediate between the rival parties.

Commander Uhura and a landing party struggle to determine if the Dohlman's claim is true, Captain Kirk puts his ship on the line to keep the two ships from each other's throats. Soon, however, concerns over the planet's ownership are overshadowed by the arrival of a hostile Elasian armada and a cataclysmic volcanic explosion on the surface that threatens all parties with a deadly shower of destruction...
