PC gamers should prepare to explore the Final Frontier with Bridge Commander.

Star Trek: Bridge Commander

When a deadly sun erupts destroying a Starfleet Research station, damaging the ship and killing the Captain, it is up to one person to take command. As a Starfleet Captain gamers take the helm of an Enterprise class ship and lead their crew on a research mission to identify the cause of the eruption. During the journey, players battle Cardassians, align with Klingons, investigate Romulan activity and reveal a secret plot that threatens the Federation itself.

“In Star Trek: Bridge Commander, we wanted to provide a genuine Star Trek experience. Therefore, it is distinctly different from the X-Wing Series,” says Lawrence Holland, President of designers, Totally Games. “You will command a large starship that has massive fire power, with strategic manoeuvrability, and equipped with highly configurable defences. The excitement and thrill of commanding your crew in first person on the detailed 3D bridge and the ability to take direct control of combat encounters in the external Tactical Mode will be captivating for all types of gamers.”

You Are The Captain

As the game unfolds, players assume the role of Captain and command ships much like the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701D and U.S.S. Enterprise-E. The game features the voice talents of Patrick Stewart as Captain Picard and Brent Spiner as Commander Data and a completely new alien race. These appear alongside the Cardassians, Ferengi, Klingons and Romulans.

The story follows the player and crew aboard the U.S.S. Sovereign, aiding colonies in a remote area of space in the wake of catastrophe. The excitement and the challenges grow as the crew races to find the cause through over thirty different missions, which will include many of Star Trek’s most fundamental elements – defence, combat, diplomacy, exploration, rescue, and scientific discovery. The question is – can you keep your cool while bulkheads fall, save your crew, save the colonists, and defend against a threat to the Federation?

Game Features:

Interact with Your Crew – Players command their crew from a 3D bridge, receive reports from them and have the option to take control of bridge stations. Crewmembers all have individual personalities that shape the gaming experience.

Combat from the Captain’s Chair – Experience the realism of commanding from the bridge. Feel the impact of true Star Trek combat -- damage shakes the bridge, consoles explode and crewmembers are thrown from their seats.

Work with Picard – Interact with Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) and Commander Data (Brent Spiner).

Beautiful 3D Ships and Special Effects – Enjoy the most detailed ship models ever in a space sim. Plan your strategy on a gorgeous 3D battlefield and marvel at the special effects including particle-based explosions, translucent nebulae, and much more.

Ultimate Multiplayer Options – Take command of Enterprise and alien ships including those of the Klingons, Romulans and Cardassians. Experience the ultimate Star Trek fantasy.

The team behind Bridge Commander previously developed four award-winning Star Wars space combat simulations and three WWII air combat simulations, including Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe, TIE Fighter and Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance.
