10 Star Trek Stories That Deserved A Sequel

8. Did Armageddon Get The Full Flavour?

Star Trek A Taste Of Armageddon

There's a lot to like in A Taste Of Armageddon. It's one of the classic morality plays from Star Trek. Here is a war that has taken all of the destruction away, consigning the designated victims of strikes to a clean, painless death.

Sounds like a terrifying, yet coldly logical, form of warfare. 

The arrival of the Enterprise throws a massive spanner in the works. No one in the audience believed that any of our favourite crew were going into those death machines, so the inevitable shake-up fits perfectly. This war of assignment will end and away the Enterprise flies.

Except, what then for Eminiar VII and Vendikar? If the war machines go silent, do the rockets start to fly? Has Starfleet condemned this world to utter ruin and decay? Almost sixty years later in real-time, this is a planet that badly needs a re-visit.
