Star Fleet Command - Definition and Overview

Starfleet Command is a computer game based on the board game Star Fleet Battles. It simulates fleet warfare in the Star Trek universe.

The player can play as one of six races:

• Federation
• Klingon
• Gorn
• Romulan
• Hydran
• Lyran

It is divided into three main parts: a "Campaign" game, "Skirmish" games and a "Multiplayer" game. The "Campaign" resembles an adventure in which the captain of the ship (the player) can modify and evolve the ship with new parts, repairs and new crew members. The "Skirmish" and "play-and-forget" games are fast and self-contained and help the player become familiar with the game and the high number of missions available in the "Campaign." The "Multiplayer" allows more than one player to challenge against other human players instead of game AIs.

The game was followed by three sequels, , Star Fleet Command II and Star Fleet Command III.
