The Enterprise and its crew stumble upon an unknown species of creatures that fly around space. While trying to observe this new life form, ships start warping into the area engaging in combat. The Enterprise, unnoticed by the two warring factions, tries to remain out of the battle. The science team reports to the Captain that the warring ships are damaging the habitat of this species of space critter.
Conflict with the prime directive and Starfleet's orders to remain uninvolved in the matters of the warring factions. What does the Captain do to try to protect the space fauna? Will the Captain violate Starfleet Command's order to abandon the creatures to their fate? How will the Captain convince the battling fleets to leave the area?
B plot is Uhura being taught how to fence by Sulu.
