Melancholia is a episode of Star Trek: Short Treks.
==Plot==
Captain Kirk tells Mera that he, Spock and McCoy try the new holodeck upgrades in a recreation room and puts her in charge of the USS Enterprise-A. McCoy's s face brightens when he remembers that Kirk's been looking forward to trying out the new When Worlds Collide holodeck program. After entering the holodeck, Kirk is impressed by the upgrades. Spock knows that a rogue star named Bellus is on a collision course with Earth and humanity are attempt to escape to Zyra, the sole planet orbiting Bellus.
Mera discovers a new gas giant planet called Melancholia, which entered the Bellus-Zyra system 200 years ago. She takes the Enterprise to Melancholia. She calls Kirk in the recreation room and tells him about a new planet. Spock and Mera add Melancholia in the When Worlds Collide holodeck program.
As the day of doom approaches, the space ark is loaded with food, medicine, microfilmed books, equipment, and animals. Interstellar arks fly to Zyra. Shortly before blastoff of the final space ark, many of the lottery losers riot, seizing Stanton's weapons to try to force their way aboard. Hendron triggers the launch prematurely while he and Stanton are still outside, explaining that the ark will need every ounce of fuel. The last space ark flies as Melancholia crashes into Earth. 
As the spaceship enters Zyra's atmosphere, the fuel runs out; Kirk takes control and glides it to a safe landing. The crew disembark and find Zyra to be habitable. Kirk, Spock and McCoy subsequently leave the holodeck.
