Worf's reinstatement with Starfleet is denied by a group of Admirals, only for Jean-Luc Picard to come in and upend the situation. On Vulcan, Geordi La Forge shows Spock his design for the Jellyfish. Scotty resigns from Starfleet and meets Nyota Uhura. Tom Paris reunites with his family. Martok restores Kahless his honour and gives him a throne to sit and do nothing more. Ro Laren is held in a detention facility, her sentence reduced. Finally Benjamin Sisko shares a few moments with his family before returning to the Celestial Temple.
This is the final issue of the current IDW slate of books. It attempts to wrap up various plots, put various characters in place for the events of Nemesis, Trek 09 and even Picard Season 3. I'd say it achieves this goal. More or less. The less being Ro. She is not granted a pardon because the Maquis are designated a terrorist group... even though they were all wiped out by the Dominion before the war even began. Even though most of Chakotay's crew were granted amnesty when Voyager returned (according to various novels). Though her fate here sets up events for Picard Season 3 it still feels at odds with how other Maquis have been treated.
In the end this is a nice end for the ongoing Star Trek and Defiant books.
seven out of ten.
