There's a budget version of this game called "Starfleet Academy: Strategic Operations", which contains only the first 3 missions from the full game.
There is also a DVD version of this game if you hate to swap 5 CD's back and forth.
The game was originally scheduled for 4 CD's. When the game "gone gold" with 5 CD's, the original CD jackets (for 4) would not fit, so the fifth CD was released in a Tyvek envelope. Later releases of the game have a full 5 CD jacket and has a "5-CD" logo on the box.
The story of the game has been adapted into a novel written by Star Trek writer Diane Carey, published by Pocket Books.
