Federation

Scott Bowyer, Copyright 2005



Federation is about Star Trek fleet combat in the TOS days, the Enterprise is just one of a gallant band of starships.

This game is unique in that it is not so much a test of strategy, but of judgment calls - too much force, the Klingons run away and you can't win in time. Too little, and the fleet gets chewed up. Know when to hold, know when to fold.

Simple but clear graphic displays show you the state of each ship's hull and shields. Commands are simple point and click. Yet for all it's surface simplicity, there is a great deal under the hood. Do you have what it takes to command a Federation fleet?
