There is the reality you know. And, on another dimensional plane, there exists a dark, twisted reflection of that universe. So familiar, and yet so different. An Empire in place of a Federation, where profit and power take precedence over peace and exploration.

As the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance rules, having overrun the Empire, destroying its fleet, and driving it back to Earth, rumors and propaganda spread throughout the Alpha Quadrant the news of the Empire's final demise. Those rumors are, however, untrue. A handful of Imperial ships remain, intent on protecting Earth and what's left of the Empire. And commanding the newest and most powerful of those ships is a man equally intent on seeing it rise again--Captain Jean-Luc Picard.

Witness the epic struggle that will shake the Mirror Universe to its core! Collects issues #1-8 of Star Trek: The Mirror War.
