Books like Star Trek - Gateways - One Small Step by Susan Wright
Scattered across the galaxy, Gateways left by a vanished civilization allow matter and energy to travel across unfathomable distances, offering exploration or conquest far faster than warp speed. Though their technology has been lost for ten millennia, the potential for rediscovery remains. After defeating a hostile computer protecting an abandoned Kalandan outpost, Kirk and the Enterprise crew investigate an artificial planetoid that contains a secret apparatus capable of hurling the ship a thousand light‑years. The reactivated Gateway draws the attention and greed of alien explorers, including a mysterious race claiming to be the ancient Kalandans themselves.
