In-Game Instructions
These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise, it's five year mission, to seek out new life and new civilisation, to boldly go where no man has gone before !!!
You are about to embark on a dangerous mission thru space. Your mission will be to seek out and destroy the enemies of the Federation, the Klingon warships. You will have at your disposal an arsenal of space-age weapons: photon torpedoes, which will destroy anything in their path, and phaser weapons, which fire bursts of energy on your enemies.
However, there is one minor problem, you will have a certain amount of time, measured in stardates, to complete this mission. That is the challenge. You will have no time to waste.
Catalog Description
As Captain Kirk, your mission is to stop the Klingon invasion of Federation space.
You'll do battle with your phasers and a complement of photon torpedoes as you search out the enemy. But don't search too far from your star bases. You'll need to refuel periodically.
