"They called me. They begged me for help, 400 of them." - Commodore Decker
The Enterprise picks up a garbled distress call that seems to have originated from the USS Constellation. When they trace its origin into a previously surveyed star system they discover that almost all the planets that were there had been destroyed without explanation. Among the planetary fragments they find the Constellation, adrift and almost completely obliterated. When they beam aboard, none of the crew can be located until Commodore Matthew Decker (William Windom), the Constellations's commanding officer, is found collapsed at the auxiliary controls station. When he is brought to he immediately goes into shock and starts rambling about a planet killer, an impossibly-large beast that can devour entire planets... including the one Decker's entire crew had beamed down to when they were forced to abandon ship.

"You're a Roman, Kirk, or you should have been." - Claudius
The Enterprise encounters the remains of the SS Beagle six years after it went missing. The Commander was R.M. Merik (William Smithers), an Academy friend of Captain James Kirk. Commander Spock plots the drift of the debris back to the fourth planet of the unexplored 892 system. When they arrive, they find a very Earth-like planet that followed Hodgkin's Law of parallel development and roughly resembles Earth's own mid 20th-century. Except their version of the Roman Empire never fell, and a planet with radio, television, and automobiles still has gladiators and deathmatches.

"Threats are illogical. And payment is usually expensive." - Ambassador Sarek
The Enterprise hosts multiple dignitaries from Federation member worlds to escort them to a conference on the planet Babel. One of those dignitaries is the Vulcan Ambassador Sarek and his human wife Amanda Grayson… who also happen to be Commander Spock's parents. During the voyage, tempers flare over a controversial vote to admit a new world into the Federation. This leads to one of the dignitaries being found murdered shortly afterward and Sarek being the prime suspect.

"Just go on the way you're going, you'll find out." - Captain James Kirk
The Enterprise is at Gamma Trianguli Vi, following up on a report of strange readings from another ship that passed by. The surface of the planet is, for all intents and purposes, a garden paradise... until thorns from a flower target and kill one of the security guards. As they continue on they discover that rocks explode and random lightning storms can vaporize a person where they stood. An attempt to beam everyone back to the ship fails as Commander Scott reports that the ship's antimatter has gone completely inert, rendering the Enterprise powerless and in a decaying orbit. Spock detects a very strong, artificial energy reading coming from somewhere on the surface of the planet. In addition to that, the party notices what remains of the survey group is being shadowed by some kind of humanoid creature.

"Monsters come in many forms." - Doctor Leonard McCoy
Captain Kirk and Commander Spock are surveying Argus X for natural deposits of tritanium when the air is suddenly filled with a sweet oder. Kirk stops working and remembers the exact same smell from somewhere else, long ago. He then looks very worried and orders their security detail to sweep the area for signs of smoke. Moments later, all but one of them are found dead and the other in critical condition. After beaming back aboard, Kirk orders the Enterprise to remain in orbit of Argus X against standing orders from Starfleet and has the crew begin to scan the planet for the source of that smoke. As more people die following Kirk's orders to scour the planet surface in search of the daedly phenomenon, Spock and Doctor McCoy start to become worried about Kirk's sudden obsession with something from his past that he seems to believe is alive.

"An entire race which feeds on fear and terror would find a perfect hunting ground on Argelius." - Commander Spock
The Enterprise is docked at Argelius II to allow Commander Scott to recover from a severe accident. The psychological damage he suffered, and the fact that accident was the result of a female crewmember's error, caused Scotty to possess a temporary resentment towards all women. Doctor McCoy and Captain Kirk believes that the pleasures of Argelius will help speed Scotty's recovery and they send him off with one the female dancers that was entertaining the group. Shortly after, while outside the venue, Kirk and McCoy hear screaming and rush down an alley to find the dancer stabbed to death with Scotty standing over her holding a bloody dagger.

In honor of Paramount's AI Star Trek poster blunder, I have made custom movie posters for the original six movies.
Absolutely no AI, and very little artistic talent, was used in their creation. Enjoy:
