The Enterprise is on a mission of reconciliation in this story. A group of free booting space pirates have been pillaging a section of space. They are a group
who never accepted peace on their planet and have existed as nomads in space.
The ruler of their world Nancy Parsons is willing to talk with the pirate leader Stephen Lee with Captain Jean-Luc Picard in a role as mediator. It won't be easy.
Like the British and Irish they've got some centuries of hate working against peace.
There's a bit of romance going with Commander Riker and the Parsons's servant/cook Lisa Wilcox. But Wilcox is working her own agenda in this episode and it isn't a beneficial one.
Jonathan Frakes and Lisa Wilcox have some tender scenes together and there is also a great scene with the very proper Wesley Crusher and pirate emissary Joey Aresco. Wil Wheaton does not get this guy at all.
It all ends sadly for two of the cast. But it looks like peace may have a chance.
