The story you just described was made into an episode of Star Trek.

There’s some history about the story development at this site -

The original story was written by KGF Vissers.

Thanks but that is not the one.

I know that episode and it is nothing like the story I am looking for.

Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!

Interesting. That’s not quite the story I remember but that Trek episode might have been based off what I had read.
