Di atas planet, mereka bertemu dengan utusan dari pesawat Ferengi yang menyerang mereka. Tiba-tiba mereka semua pingsan, baik awak ''Enterprise'' maupun spesies Ferengi. Ketika mereka sadar kembali, Geordi melihat sebentuk mahluk dengan visornya. Mahluk ini memperkenalkan diri sebagai "Sang Penjaga" yang menjaga pintu masuk ke Tkon Empire. |
|||
Picard orders a probe down to the planet. The bridge crew meet again and Data debriefs them on the information he as uncovered. The records show the ancient star charts of the "[[Tkon Empire]]", which has been extinct for 600,000 years; the victims of an apparent [[supernova]] explosion of their homeworld's star. The charts indicate the planet below, Gamma Tauri IV, was one of their outposts, which formed a defensive ring around their territory. In the meantime, Data humorously becomes stuck in a [[Chinese finger trap]] he has been playing with. Picard helps him remove the trap and allows him to continue. |
|||
Sang Penjaga kemudian berdebat dengan awak ''Enterprise'' dan spesies Ferengi mengenai keberadaan mereka di planet itu. Letek, pemimpin awak Ferengi di planet itu, memiliki filosofi hidup yang berpusat pada materi, seperti lazimnya spesies Ferengi. Riker, sebaliknya, menunjukkan kebijaksanaan dalam menghadapi lawan. Hal ini membuat Sang Penjaga menjadi lebih berpihak pada Riker. Sang Penjaga menawarkan pada Riker untuk menghancurkan pesawat Ferengi, namun Riker mengatakan bila ia melakukan hal itu, maka mereka belum menyadari kesalahan mereka sendiri. Sang Penjaga setuju akan hal ini dan melepaskan mereka untuk pergi. |
|||
Information from the probe arrives, which shows both the ''Enterprise'' and the Ferengi ship are being held in a force beam projected from the surface of the planet. Picard decides to send an away team down to investigate the source of the beam, while Riker contemplates on the possibility of the Ferengi discovering the true nature of the situation and how they will react. Picard suggests they may have to "team up" with them, to which the others become unnerved by the idea. |
|||
Picard contacts the Ferengi to "confess" the truth of the situation; that both ships are being held by an outside force under neither ship's control. Picard learns that the Ferengi have already figured it out on their own, and promptly withdraw their surrender, however Taar agrees to assist in getting the situation resolved. Picard is delighted at the more "productive" relationship, however Taar would rather prefer a more "profitable" one. Picard and Taar's discussion leads to argument over the theft of the energy converter, to which Taar, annoyed at being called a thief, claims the device was placed on one of their worlds. Picard decides to discuss territorial claims later, in the meantime Taar agrees to send a party down to assist in their release of the ships. |
|||
A party consisting of Riker, Data, Geordi, Worf and Tasha, beam to the planet's surface. They experience a twilight world of overcast, turbulent skies arcing with lightning. The party materializes in scattered locations. Worried he is alone, Riker runs around to look for the others. To his relief, he runs into Data, who believes the force field has scrambled their arrival coordinates. The two look for the others, finding Geordi stuck upside down in a tree. As they try to free him, the group is attacked by a Ferengi wielding an energy whip. |
|||
Meanwhile, six hours have gone by since the away team was sent. The ''Enterprise'', now operating on power reserves, is quickly expending life support. |
|||
Back on the planet, Riker awakens next to his unconscious companions to find his group surrounded by three stunted Ferengi, two of which drag Worf into the pile. The aliens scoff at the group's golden communicator pins. Letek, the dominant Ferengi, accuses Riker's group of planning an ambush. Riker retorts stating the Ferengi have broken their agreement to peacefully assist in freeing the ships. Data and Worf come to and observe their situation. It is quickly discovered the Ferengi's enormous ears are sensitive to loud noise. Every thunderclap disorients the aliens, giving the away team a chance to overpower them. Despite having been captured, the Ferengi are more startled at the fact that humans allow their females to carry weapons and worse, wear clothing. |
|||
Back on the ''Enterprise'' the situation grows dim, with life support rapidly failing and the crew freezing to death on all decks. |
|||
On the planet, Letek and his cohorts plan an escape. Two flee but Tasha gives chase firing her phaser. She is stunned when she sees the beam arc in the air and is absorbed by a crystalline "tree" nearby. The Ferengi reacts with his energy whip, but is dumbfounded when its energy diverts to the tree as well. Data is inquisitive, believing the crystal trees are energy collectors; possibly working on the same principals that hold the starships. Tasha is confused about their weapons working fine when they first arrived, and mentions something must have changed. |
|||
Suddenly, a humanoid entity appears to which Geordi "sees" with his visor as an energy accumulation; the source of the power drain upon the starships. The entity responds in a booming voice, identifying itself as "The Guardian" and indicates that the group has activated "Portal Six-Three", asking if they petition entry into the Tkon Empire. Data informs the guardian that the Tkon Empire is extinct; destroyed during the Age of Makto when their central star destabilized. The Guardian however, having been asleep for hundreds of thousands of years, seems unaware of this. |
|||
Letak takes the opportunity to step forward; announcing that the humans are known for their treachery and encourage the portal to not believe them. Letak offers his petition to serve the Empire in exchange for the release of their Ferengi ship, (at no profit of course). The Ferengi go on making claims that the humans are destroyers of legal commerce, selfishly keeping advanced technology from backward worlds and despicably clothe their females (a perverted act in the Ferengis' eyes). |
|||
The rest of the away team breathlessly await Riker to come to their defense, but to the bewilderment of all present, he claims "guilty" to all the outlandish charges. Riker admits that the Federation has allowed planets to fall to their enemies, letting the violent and strong dominate, and willingly held back the advancement of lesser worlds. Despite a clear upper hand, Letak goes on, pointing out the proof of human barbarianism, gesturing to the away team's communicators, stating they even adorn themselves with gold, a despicable use of such a rare and valuable metal. |
|||
The portal figure forms into a hooded figure wielding a bladed weapon. It approaches Riker calling him a "barbarian" with its thundering voice. It takes a fighting stance to which Worf tries to defend but is forcefully thrown back. Tasha wisely keeps her ground. The portal decides to test Riker's moral wisdom; as is customary to test all savages the Tkon Empire encounters. The portal demands an answer to its challenge. Riker finally answers: "Fear is the true enemy, the only enemy". |
|||
Satisfied with Riker's response, the entity turns rather friendly. It repeats "Know your enemy and know yourself, and victory will always be yours." which it gathered from Riker's mind and inquires who this [[Sun Tzu]] is. Riker explains he was a philosopher from Earth's past to which the guardian places his wisdom on par with its own. |
|||
The being claims he would have destroyed both battling vessels on first sight, but sensed something different from them when it realized the two were eventually willing to work together. Riker requests the entity to free the ''Enterprise'', which it does so. Then it asks what of the Ferengi; offering to destroy them. Riker states by destroying them they will have learned nothing to which the portal agrees is a wise decision. The portal returns to its slumber and the away team returns to the ''Enterprise'' where everyone is relieved to be breathing again. |
|||
Before leaving, the Ferengi return the energy converter, and Riker makes a request to send a box of Data's Chinese finger traps over to the Ferengi vessel as "thanks" for what they tried to do. |

*This episode marks the first appearance of the Ferengi as a new menace to the Federation since peace was established with the [[Klingon]]s. The Ferengi were indeed initially intended to replace the [[Klingon]] empire as the "enemy" race of the Federation in ''TNG''. However, viewers found their comic behavior and appearance underwhelming. As a result, [[Paramount Pictures|Paramount]] negated these plans; throughout ''TNG'' the Ferengi shared the role of menacing alien with a wide variety of enemies, most notably the [[Borg]], the [[Romulans]], and the [[Cardassians]]. |

The Last Outpost adalah episode tahun pertama Star Trek: The Next Generation. Nomor urut #5, kode produksi #107, ditayangkan 19 Oktober 1987. Ditulis oleh Herbert Wright, berdasarkan cerita oleh Richard Krzemien, disutradarai Richard Colla.
Bintang tamu Armin Shimerman, Jake Dengel dan Tracey Walter.
Pada stardate 41194.6, Enterprise sedang mengejar sebuah pesawat Ferengi yang dicurigai mencuri sebuah T-9 energy converter dari sebuah stasiun Federation. Pesawat Ferengi masuk ke sistem Delphi Ardu yang belum pernah dijelajah sebelumnya dan berhenti di dekat sebuah planet. Ini adalah kali pertama pesawat Federation berdekatan dengan musuh baru mereka.
Enterprise kemudian kehilangan tenaga dan ditarik oleh suatu kekuatan untuk mengorbit planet tersebut. Mereka khawatir bahwa ini adalah senjata rahasia Ferengi. Data mengatakan bahwa spesies Ferengi adalah bangsa pedagang. Mereka memperoleh teknologi dengan cara membelinya dari spesies lain.
Troi menyarankan bahwa mereka mengalihkan perhatian pada planet di bawah mereka. Ada kemungkinan kekuatan yang menahan Enterprise bukan datang dari Ferengi, namun dari planet itu. Picard lantas menjalankan strategi untuk menyerah pada lawan karena senjata mereka terbatas. Namun pemimpin Ferengi, Dai Mon Tarr, mengira Picard memerintahkan mereka untuk menyerah. Di sini Picard menyadari bahwa pesawat Ferengi juga dalam keadaan yang sama dengan Enterprise.
Picard mengirim beberapa awak ke permukaan planet. Data mengumpulkan data mengenai sejarah planet tersebut. Dahulu kala di sini ada kerajaan yang bernama Tkon Empire. Mereka telah punah selama 600.000 tahun, korban dari ledakan supernova.
Di atas planet, mereka bertemu dengan utusan dari pesawat Ferengi yang menyerang mereka. Tiba-tiba mereka semua pingsan, baik awak Enterprise maupun spesies Ferengi. Ketika mereka sadar kembali, Geordi melihat sebentuk mahluk dengan visornya. Mahluk ini memperkenalkan diri sebagai "Sang Penjaga" yang menjaga pintu masuk ke Tkon Empire.
