Lore & Background
Dr Tolian Soran, who lost his family when their homeworld was destroyed, is obsessed with returning to the Nexus and is willing to destroy a planetary system to do it. Picard joins forces with Kirk to stop him.
When the Veridian star is destroyed, the ribbon's course changes, and Picard and Soran enter the Nexus before the shockwave destroys Veridian III. Inside, Picard meets an echo of Guinan left behind there.
