The principal photography for Star Trek: Insurrection took place.
Initial pre-production work, including scripting and casting, started for the film.
The USS Enterprise-D discovers the Ba'ku planet while investigating unusual cosmic subspace radiation.
Captain Picard and the Enterprise crew make initial contact with the Ba'ku, a seemingly primitive but peaceful people with a unique lifestyle.
The crew observes and studies the planet's unusual regenerative properties that cause aging to reverse for the Ba'ku inhabitants.
Starfleet officers allied with the Son'a reveal their intention to forcibly relocate the Ba'ku to access the planet's regenerative energy.
Captain Picard and his crew choose to protect the Ba'ku against unethical Federation plans, aligning against their own superiors and the Son'a.
The Enterprise crew engages the Son'a in a conflict to safeguard the Ba'ku and prevent their forced relocation.
It is revealed that the Son'a are exiled Ba'ku, which complicates the moral dynamics of the conflict.
Starfleet abandons the relocation plan; the Ba'ku are left undisturbed, and their way of life continues peacefully.
