Abstract:
War between the two worlds Eminiar VII and Vendikar had gone on for 500 years with no cessation in sight. This war was conducted by computer simulation, so that a virtual hit on one planet was retaliated by a computer-generated strike on the other. This avoided the large-scale death and destruction normally suffered during real wartime. To compensate for a war of this surgical nature, a segment of the population of a virtually stricken planet had to be assigned to die in disintegration chambers once the planet was targeted. People dutifully reported to these chambers once their fates were assigned. This was the basis of the episode titled "A Taste of Armageddon" of season one of the original Star Trek television series.
