Single player

The three eras of Star Trek: Enterprise, The Original Series and The Next Generation make up the single-player campaign. In each era the Federation goes up against the Romulans (ENT), Klingons (TOS) and the Borg Collective (TNG). The Next Generation era also includes Deep Space Nine and Voyager.

In an interview on GameSpot posted on July 19 2006, it was revealed that the "Contagion" story arc is no longer relevant to the plot. Instead the creators state that the method of spanning the various eras is far more ingenious and was developed by one of the original Star Trek writers.[2]

DC Fontana and Chester, the authors of the game's plot, gave an interview on IGN, posted November 29 2006, in which they reveal that the storyline incorporates the split between the Vulcan and Romulan races, known as the Sundering.[3]

The eras that are covered in single player mode are:

An article on Eurogamer, posted on August 7 2006, revealed that the original Star Trek writer in question was D.C. Fontana who, along with partner Derek Chester, has collaborated on the scripts of Star Trek: Legacy and Star Trek: Tactical Assault.[4]

Gameplay

Combat for the game takes place in a 3D environment similar to Star Trek: Bridge Commander, but also adds more realism through advanced graphics. According to the game designers at an E3 video interview, players will also have to ability to change from a 3D display to a top-down 2D tactical display where you can issue specific commands to ships within a task force. For example, a player will be able to order a Galaxy Class ship to warp to a specific point for defense of a station or ship.

In addition to the linear campaign there is set to be a fully customizable skirmish mode.
