Star Trek: Away Team is a strategy game, published by Activision in 2001. It chronicles the missions of the crew of the USS Incursion, an experimental Starfleet commando ship equipped with holographic masking technology, allowing it to impersonate any vessel. The crew of specially trained commandoes must face a threat to galactic peace from a far-reaching conspiracy known as the "Wardens".
Gameplay
Star Trek: Away Team plays from a top-down 3/4 view identical to that of games such as "Diablo" and "Baldur's Gate". Prior to each mission the player must choose an away team from a roster of crew members. Each branch is represented - Command, Operations, and Sciences - by several members to choose from, each with different strengths and weaknesses. Many of the popular races are also represented - Human, Klingon, Vulcan, etc. - by the member you pick and some offer racial bonuses or abilities.
In addition to the away team members, the player must also choose which equipment is carried by each member. Many have compared this team selection system with that of Tom Clancy's "Rainbow Six" games.
The overall plot is advanced during away team missions, and the objectives of each mission often change during the mission due to circumstances of the plot. In between missions the story is advanced with rendered cut scenes.
Trivia
- Brent Spiner makes several cameo appearances as Commander Data, the Science Officer of the USS Enterprise-D. Micheal Dorn also appears as Ambassador Worf.
- The prototype ship used by the Away Team is similar in form and function to the Defiant-class vessels seen on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
- Unfortunately the unique holo-cloaking technology introduced in this game was never seen again, although many speculate that it would have been highly useful during the Dominion War.
- The USS Incursion is controllable vessel in one of the missions of the Borg campaign in "Star Trek: Armada II".
- In the Romulan campaign of Star Trek: Starfleet Command III, the Romulans steal the holo-cloaking technology from the Federation and use it against them.
