Title: Day of the Dove Production: 66 Original Airdate: November 1, 1968 Stardate: Unknown Synopsis:
The Klingons have done nothing to improve relations since their last encounter with Kirk, and now
he's received word they have massacred a colony on Beta XII-A. Trouble is, the Klingons think the
Federation has done the same to their colony. Taken into custody with their ship destroyed,
Commander Kang and crew are soon liberated by an entity that feeds off hate and aims to keep
both sides at war, even repairing their dead and wounded to fight an eternal battle aboard the
isolated Enterprise. Amid the dark passions engulfing one and all, Kirk realizes he must convince
his Klingon counterpart somehow that they must bury the sword and starve the entity before the
habit of hate is too ingrained to resist.
