Star Trek: Starfleet Academy

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy is a Star Trek simulation game for the PC that simulates the life of a typical Starfleet cadet. The objective of the game is to learn the basics of starship navigation, to eventually become the captain of your own ship. It includes a simulation battle mode where the player can control and fight ships of their choice. It is also the first time that CGI movies have been shot in free motion in a video game. The movies in the game, directed by Martin Denning, represented a breakthrough in live-action CGI at the time.

Story

The player takes on the role of human cadet David Forester, who leads a group of cadets at Starfleet Command School in San Francisco. The player must complete all simulated missions, including the infamous Kobayashi Maru scenario. Scenarios include simple combat situations as well as a re-enactment of Kirk's near-disastrous starship confrontation with Khan Noonien Singh, which Kirk ruefully admits was designed to teach the cadets to avoid his grave mistake that almost led to the sinking of his ship. Forester also has to keep his crew in check between simulator scenarios and prevent personality clashes from affecting team performance by choosing the right dialog options in the cutscenes. The cadet crew consists of a Vulcan science officer named Sturek, an Andorian communications officer named Vanda M'Giia and an aloof and shy human engineer Robin Brady, with the Trill Jana Akton at the helm and the human Geoff Corin at navigation. Over the course of the game, it is possible to thwart the machinations of the Vanguard - a fanatical terrorist group intent on overthrowing the Federation government and installing Kirk as despot - and investigate the cause of rising tensions around the Klingon Neutral Zone. On the other hand, it's possible to be dismissed from the Academy in disgrace if you make the wrong choice during certain full-motion video sequences.
