Eaglemoss EMSTSP16 Special Edition No. 16: Star Trek V'ger [With Collector Magazine]
"The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few."
- Science Officer Spock
V'ger was a massive entity and one of the most extraordinary lifeforms ever encountered by the United Federation of Planets. It generated enormous levels of power and threatened Earth with destruction until it found a way to evolve.
First detected when passing through Klingon territory in the 2270s, V'ger was unlike anything that Starfleet had ever encountered. Its initial appearance - that of a vast, luminous cloud, capable of emitting enormous amounts of energy - was described as a "twelfth-power energy field," a scale beyond the energy-generation capacity of even "thousands of starships."
During a battle with a fleet of three Klingon K't'inga-class battle cruisers led by the IKS Amar, 'V'ger launched a series of powerful, spherically-shaped "bolts" of plasma energy that emerged from within the cloud and eliminated the Klingon assailants. The cloud and its encounter with the Klingons, while occurring within Klingon space, was detected and monitored by a sensor drone from Starfleet's Epsilon IX communications station, which was in close proximity to the then-disputed Federation-Klingon border.
Shortly after the elimination of the Klingon vessels, the cloud passed into Federation space near the Epsilon IX station, which was able to perform limited scans on it, although most of its sensor sweeps were reflected back. The relay station's crew was able, however, to determine that it measured a diameter in excess of two astronomical units which, at almost 300 million kilometers, would make the cloud larger than Earth's orbit; and there was a null reading at the heart of the entity, indicating a solid form or vessel of some kind. Unfortunately, V'ger appeared to interpret Epsilon IX's scans as a hostile act, and eliminated the space station in the same manner as it had the Klingon vessels.
