Description

Immersive 3-D tactical starship combat game, set in the universe of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Intriguing single-player campaign arcs playable as Federation, Klingon, or Romulan factions. Customizable starship construction options (giving the player the opportunity to retrofit phasers, torpedoes, engines, and other components as he/she gains prestige points) and deep tactical options provide immense replayability value. The Dynaverse 3 feature offers persistent online gaming as up to 128 players compete to conquer the galaxy.

The single-player storyline is broken into Klingon, Romulan, and Federation segments. The plotline involves a threat to galactic peace which emerges after the Klingon-Federation alliance constructs an advanced new starbase, designated 'Unity One', near the Romulan border. Each campaign invites the player to behave in a manner suited to the character of the chosen faction, as one proceeds through a consistent, 'true-to-Trek' story experience.

In addition to the single-player campaigns, there is a single-player 'Conquest' campaign which allows the player (as Klingon, Romulan, Federation, or Borg) to attempt to dominate the galaxy without passing through campaign missions.

Those desiring head-to-head multiplayer action without the grand strategic elements of Dynaverse 3 will find a number of multiplayer battle scenarios which can be played over Internet or LAN.

Trivia

Activision has disavowed themselves of all Star Trek titles after dispute with Paramount. You will no longer find ANY Star Trek games listed on Acitivision website, and the "official patch" for SC3 may never see the light of day, even though Taldren had already put the "beta patch" out to the public.
