As man expands beyond explored space, the need to find a way to make
inhospitable planets habitable grows greater. One young biologist,
Carol Marcus, has a project that she believes can reshape planets. A
young committed scientist, she dares to dream of a Federation where
there is never any hunger and every world is a paradise. Her dream is
shared by James Kirk, a young Starfleet officer and her lover. One of
Carol's more enthusiastic team members is botanist Leila Kalomi. Leila
finds Carol's passion contagious, and sparks the interest of the
Enterprise's science officer, Spock, who convinces her to join Project:
Inception.
