First Star Trek Gold Key story to not be divided into two parts. Pg. 27 incorporates a cross-section of the Enterprise that suggests it is much smaller than the version depicted on TV, with only a few decks. After several issues of it being referred to as the "Teleportation Chamber", the "Transporter Room" is referenced correctly for the first time.
