Gulliver’s Fugitives

On the planet Rampart, imagination is a crime—and death is its punishment!

• Stardate Unknown
• Released May 1990

While searching for the U.S.S. Huxley, a starship missing for over ten years, the U.S.S. Enterprise stumbles across a forgotten colony of humans on a planet called Rampart—a world where fiction, speculation, and works of the imagination are considered the ultimate crime.

A survey team from the planet beams on board the U.S.S. Enterprise to search for “contraband” materials—and suddenly the crew find themselves plunged into the middle of a murderous civil war between a determined band of rebels and the planet’s ruthless mind police. A civil war whose outcome will determine not only the future of the planet Rampart, but the life of Captain Jean-Luc Picard as well.
