Test of Truth

[edit] Appendices

• This issue shows the Bird-of-Prey firing while still under cloak, which is curiously inconsistent with Star Trek III: The Search for Spock which established the vessel and its capabilities, including its having to decloak before firing. It is similarly inconsistent with later stories, notably Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, where a Bird-of-Prey being able to fire while cloaked was a notable and exceptional tactical advantage.
• The Klingon homeworld in the mirror universe is identified as Kash in this issue, as opposed to the later widely used Qo'noS.

• New Frontiers (TOS comic miniseries) - This is the sixth part of the New Frontiers story arc, continuing on from the previous issue with the story opening with the Excelsior under attack from the Terran Empire fleet.
