Riker is injured, and being treated at a hospital on an alien planet.

Riker is posing as Rivas Jakara, a tourist from the Marta community on the southern continent.

Story and script
1. "First Contact" derived from a story that Marc Scott Zicree had pitched in the third season. Zicree recalled, "It's very hard to sell to Star Trek. They've gone months without buying any stories.

Piller liked the stuff so he kept saying keep going. At one point Ira Behr was joking and said this guy is an i...

From a visual standpoint, we tried to create sets, wardrobe and medical instruments that looked evocative of our culture today, but were different, and add enough that they didn't say we just rented a gurney from Central Props.
