Stardate 3211.7: A landing party beaming down to the Enterprise’s latest stop is intercepted by a more powerful, long-range transporter beam, which hijacks Kirk, Uhura and Chekov to the planet Triskelion, where they are immediately handed over to various “trainers” to prepare them for their upcoming duties as gladiators to amuse the powerful rulers of the planet. Spock orders the Enterprise to warp to Triskelion to save the landing party but doesn’t realize that the powers-that-be on the planet may want to lure the Enterprise crew there to provide them with even more entertainment.
