Plotline :

After some unsuccessful negotiations with a primitive alien culture, Kirk and some of his senior officers beam up to the ship during an ion storm. A freak transporter accident catapults them into an alternate universe which is similar to our own, but in which the Federation is an all-conquering Empire populated by sadistic barbarians bent on the enslavement of all other species. The crew must deal with shipboard politics in which assasination is common. They must beam themselves back to their own Enterprise, while trying to save the aliens who face extermination for their refusal to co-operate with the Empire.

Moral :

Evil :

Being evil can be a whole lot of fun

Factoid :

This episode features the first use of the mirror universe which will be revisited several times during Deep Space Nine.

Quote :

"May I point out, that I had an opportunity to observe your counterparts here quite closely. They where brutal, savage, unprincipled, uncivilised, traitorous. In every way splendid examples of Homo sapiens, the very flower of humanity. I found them quite refreshing." - Spock to Kirk and McCoy.
