"Redemption" is the name of a two-part Star Trek: The Next Generation episode. "Redemption (Part 1)" was the finale of the fourth season; it was the 99th episode of the show, and it first aired on June 17, 1991. "Redemption (Part 2)" was the premiere of the fifth season; it was the hundredth episode of the show and first aired on September 23, 1991. In the Star Trek timeline, the events depicted in the episodes occurred between stardates 44995.3 and 45020.4 (Paramount Pictures, n.d.).

The plot is mainly composed of two interrelated stories: Worf's attempt to clear his family of dishonor, and a conflict between Gowron and the Duras sisters for leadership in the Klingon High Council (Moore & Bole, 1991).

The episode begins with the Enterprise en route to Qo'noS (Qo'noS, 2003) so that Picard can attend the installation of Gowron as Leader (Paramound Pictures, n.d.) of the Klingon High Council. Unexpectedly, the Enterprise is intercepted by a Klingon vessel whose current mission is to escort the Enterprise during the travel to its destination. Commanding the escort vessel is Gowron, who informs Picard of a conflict—one that could throw the Klingon Empire into a civil war—between himself and the House of Duras for the position of Leader of the High Council. Picard happens to be the "Arbiter of Succession" who must interpret the law and see to it that the position is assumed justly by the right person (Moore & Bole, 1991).

Information on Redemption (Part 2) is needed.
