User manual GAMES PC STARCROSS

[. . . ] Our goal was to create an exciting game that would be accessible and understandable to anyone who has ever seen Star Trek®. Who when watching Kirk or Picard did not want to see how it felt to be in the Captain's chair and save the day?Our challenge to the game industry and ourselves was to reinvent the venerable genre of space combat games while at the same time creating a game that leveraged the best known science fiction universe. Since the start, Star Trek®: Bridge CommanderTM has been a labor of love for our entire team here at Totally Games.

Following the surrender of the Dominion, the Federation has established a peacekeeping coalition with the Klingon and Romulan Empires in response to the events of the war. The many races and factions that conspired with the Dominion to take allied territories were severely sanctioned. While Starfleet itself has taken steps to prevent recent history from repeating itself, the Federation has resisted imposing extreme penalties against the Cardassian, Breen, Gorn and other defeated Alpha quadrant powers in favor of reconstruction. However, in the wake of such a great conflict comes the inevitable desire to punish or restrict the losing regimes. The Klingon and Romulan Empires each have imposed a strict no-buildup policy on all former Dominion allied powers, with special attention paid to the Cardassian Union. The Federation continues to negotiate with the Klingon, Romulan and Cardassian governments to come to some kind of equitable arrangement for all parties. Unfortunately, diplomacy has not yielded much success in easing tensions between the major Alpha Quadrant powers. Dauntless Ladies and Gentlemen: It is with great regret that Starfleet received notice of Captain Wright's death in the Vesuvi incident one week ago. Captain Wright's death is a great loss to his family, to Starfleet and, without doubt, to you as his crew. All vessels choosing to attend will be granted clearance to make rendezvous here. The chapel service will be held at 1300 sharp (Starbase time) and will be followed by a review of honor ships and a wreath-casting ceremony at 1400. Personal messages of sympathy may be sent to Captain Wright's daughter, Lieutenant Susan Wright-Serson, at this Starbase. In lieu of synth flowers, Lieutenant Wright-Serson has suggested that credits contributions can be made to the Starfleet Academy General Scholarship Fund in her father's memory. Finally, I wish to extend my personal condolences to the Dauntless and her crew. In his personal and his professional life, he has always represented the epitome of what a Starfleet commanding officer should be. His death is a tremendous loss to all of us who knew him--and to those who now will never have that opportunity.
