Lolani
This is an episode of a fan-made series whose storyline may be invalidated by later official studio productions.
Stardate not given: The Enterprise comes across a damaged and drifting Tellarite vessel with a single life form aboard. When beamed aboard, the ship’s sole survivor is an Orion slave girl who is prepared to fight off the entire crew of the Enterprise to save herself. She finally reveals her name – Lolani – and declares her wish to be free of the Orion system of slavery. But since Orion is not a Federation member word, Captain Kirk’s hands are tied when Lolani’s master comes to reclaim her. When he decides to go against express orders to avoid provoking the Orions by ignoring their laws, Kirk simply seems to make things worse, not only for himself but for a woman determined to change life for all women on her world.

Notes: Guest star Lou Ferrigno is best known for another role which required him to be painted green, as 1970s TV superhero The Incredible Hulk.

Daniel Logan may still be best known as the young Boba Fett, a role he played as a boy in 2002’s Star Wars Episode II: Attack Of The Clones. Matthew Ewald also guest starred as a young James T. Kirk in The Protracted Man, an episode of the fan series Star Trek Phase II. Co-writer Huston Huddleston is the organizer of the Enterprise-D Bridge Restoration Project, a non-profit, fan-supported project to build a museum around recovered pieces of the Star Trek: The Next Generation bridge set, both screen-used and replicas left over from the now-defunct Las Vegas Hilton Star Trek: The Experience attraction.
