'''Star Trek: Armada''' is a Real Time Strategy (RTS) game, published by [[Activision]] in 2000. The game can be played either as a single-player campaign, or a multi-player Internet combat mode. In either mode, the player(s) build and maintain fleets and stations of one of four races: [[Federation]], [[Klingon]], [[Romulan]], and [[Borg]]. The single-player mode is story-driven: the player has a series of objectives to complete over 25 missions, in an intervowen storyline covering all four races.
  
-
One main gripe about Armada was that each race could only build five types of [[starships]] and that each race's ships were essentially the same ship with different sprites. Fans dealt with these problems by creating a series of game modifications, or "mods" that ranged from cosmetic changes, to completely new games using the ST: Armada engine.

One main gripe about ''Armada'' was that each race could only build six types of [[starship]]s and two construction/collection ships, and that each race's ships were essentially the same ship with different sprites thus giving no race an advantage over the other. Fans dealt with these problems by creating a series of game modifications, or "mods" that ranged from cosmetic changes, to completely new games using the ''Star Trek: Armada'' engine.

=====USS ''Premonition'' (NX-80189)=====
  +
[[Image:FedPremonition.jpg|right||thumb|The USS ''Premonition'']]
  +
The ''Premonition'' was constructed in the year 2382, during an [[alternate timeline]] in which the [[Borg]] succeeded in invading and assimilating the majority of [[Starfleet]], the [[Federation]], the [[Klingon Empire]], and the [[Romulan Empire]]. It was under the command of [[Captain]] Thaddius Deming.
  +
  +
The ''Premonition'' was originally conceived as a temporal research vessel, and served as a testbed for the advanced temporal drive research being done at the top secret Manheim [[Star Trek:_Armada#Temporal Research Facility|Temporal Research Facility]]. However, with the [[Borg]] invasion and the assimilation of several key planets including [[Vulcan]], [[Bajor]], [[Qo'noS]], and [[Earth]], the remnants of Starfleet turned the ship into a full scale [[battleship]]. The Premonition was launched in 2382, and immediately used its temporal drive to travel back to the year 2376; two days before the start of the Borg invasion of the [[Alpha Quadrant]].
  +
  +
In one timeline, the Borg managed to assimilate Earth, despite the interference of the Premonition. However, the ship used its temporal vortex generator to send the [[USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-E)|''Enterprise''-E]] back in time to stop the Borg shortly before its destruction.
  +
  +
Thanks to the assistance of the ''Premonition'' and the ''Enterprise''-E, Starfleet was eventually able to stop the Borg from conquering the Federation and further altering the timeline in favor of the Federation. Following the Borg withdrawal, the ''Premonition'' returned to the future and its status is unknown.
  +
  +
===Temporal Research Facility===
  +
The Temporal Research Facility is a superweapon station constructed by the Federation. It projects a Temporal Stasis Field over an area of space, freezing any enemy targets caught within. Allied ships are unaffected and left free to fire on their disabled enemies for the duration of the effect.

The transwarp gate is a superweapon station constructed by the [[Borg]]. It creates a two-way transwarp conduit that allows Borg ships to travel instantaneously through the gate to any explored location on the game map. It works similarly to a [[wormhole]], except that it is under the control of the player.

'Star Trek: Armada'
File:Starmada.jpg
Star Trek: Armada
Publisher: Activision
Developer: Mad Doc Software
Stardate: Unknown (Unknown)
Platform(s): Windows 95-XP
System Requirements: 266 MHz Pentium II processor, 32 MB RAM, 600 MB hard drive space, 4x CD-ROM drive
Genre(s): Real-time strategy
Reference #: ASIN B00002SU5D


Star Trek: Armada is a real-time strategy (RTS) game published by Activision in 2000. The game can be played either as a single-player campaign, or in a multi-player internet combat mode. In either mode, the player(s) build and maintain fleets and stations of one of four races: Federation, Klingon, Romulan, and Borg. The single-player mode is story-driven: the player has a series of objectives to complete 20 missions, in an interwoven storyline covering all four races.

One main gripe about Armada was that each race could only build six types of starships and two construction/collection ships, and that each race's ships were essentially the same ship with different sprites thus giving no race an advantage over the other. Fans dealt with these problems by creating a series of game modifications, or "mods" that ranged from cosmetic changes, to completely new games using the Star Trek: Armada engine.

USS Premonition (NX-80189)
The USS Premonition

The Premonition was constructed in the year 2382, during an alternate timeline in which the Borg succeeded in invading and assimilating the majority of Starfleet, the Federation, the Klingon Empire, and the Romulan Empire. It was under the command of Captain Thaddius Deming.

The Premonition was originally conceived as a temporal research vessel, and served as a testbed for the advanced temporal drive research being done at the top secret Manheim Temporal Research Facility. However, with the Borg invasion and the assimilation of several key planets including Vulcan, Bajor, Qo'noS, and Earth, the remnants of Starfleet turned the ship into a full scale battleship. The Premonition was launched in 2382, and immediately used its temporal drive to travel back to the year 2376; two days before the start of the Borg invasion of the Alpha Quadrant.

In one timeline, the Borg managed to assimilate Earth, despite the interference of the Premonition. However, the ship used its temporal vortex generator to send the Enterprise-E back in time to stop the Borg shortly before its destruction.

Thanks to the assistance of the Premonition and the Enterprise-E, Starfleet was eventually able to stop the Borg from conquering the Federation and further altering the timeline in favor of the Federation. Following the Borg withdrawal, the Premonition returned to the future and its status is unknown.

Temporal Research Facility

The Temporal Research Facility is a superweapon station constructed by the Federation. It projects a Temporal Stasis Field over an area of space, freezing any enemy targets caught within. Allied ships are unaffected and left free to fire on their disabled enemies for the duration of the effect.

Transwarp gate

Transwarp gate

The transwarp gate is a superweapon station constructed by the Borg. It creates a two-way transwarp conduit that allows Borg ships to travel instantaneously through the gate to any explored location on the game map. It works similarly to a wormhole, except that it is under the control of the player.

Ferengi starships

Cardassian starships

Son'a starships

Dominion starships

Breen starships

Other ships and stations

  • Borg Omega Containment Station
  • 9341 Mother
  • 9341 Entity

Construction ship

This is a ship used by all playable races to construct all installations. They're constructed at the Starbase. When the game starts, the player gets one starbase and/or one construction ship.

Specified starships and starbases

Federation

  • Starbase 612: a Starfleet base located in the Beta Quadrant that was attacked by the Borg in 2376.

Setting

The game takes place on and around stardate 53550 (as well as a brief interlude into 2364), just after the end of the Dominion War. Relations between the allies have deteriorated slightly, with the Romulans and the Klingons once again in dispute.

Single-player campaign

Federation campaign

Premonitions

"Captain's Log, Stardate 53550.8, With the Dominion war over, and matters stabilizing in the Alpha Quadrant, the Enterprise is helping to re-establish an outpost in the Barisa system. Though we are not expecting any conflicts, there have been rumors of renegade Dominion ships in the area, who have refused to accept the Federation/Dominion treaty. The Enterprise is being sent to protect the outpost, should any hostilities arise."

The USS Enterprise-E, accompanied by two Akira-class ships, must eliminate rogue Jem'Hadar attack ships in the sector, in order to secure colonization efforts. During the mission, a temporal vortex is detected, and a Starfleet vessel emerges, pursued by two Borg spheres. The vessel is the USS Premonition, and its CO, Captain Thaddeus Demming, informs Captain Picard that a major Borg invasion is imminent. Within the hour, a force of Borg ships will attack and destroy the nearby Starbase 612, the first step to the assimilation of the Alpha Quadrant.

Paradise Revisited

"Acting Captain's Log, Ambassador Worf, I have been temporally re-assigned from my duties on the Klingon home world, to mediate a situation developing in the Ba'ku system. Starfleet has given me command of the USS Avenger, to deal with any hostilities that may arise."

Ambassador Worf, on temporary assignment to the Ba'ku settlement, and commanding the USS Avenger, must eliminate a force of Son'a warships intent on reclaiming the planet. He receives word of the Borg invasion, and heads to Qo'noS to gain reinforcement.

Vendetta

"Acting Captain's Log, Stardate 53551.6, I am taking the Avenger through the Ikolis Expanse. Though it is a treacherous area to navigate, it should reduce the voyage back to Qo'noS significantly."

En route to Qo'noS, Worf is ambushed by Toral, and a small force of Klingon warships. Outgunned, he must traverse the Ikolis Expanse, a hazardous region of space, to escape, salvaging derelict vessels and even a Federation Starbase and Shipyard to assist along the way. In order to prevent Toral seizing the Klingon throne, Worf takes the Avenger into the Gamma Quadrant, and retrieves the Sword of Kahless.

Dark Omens

"Captain's Log, Stardate 53551.6, We have been hailing Starbase 612 ever since we received the USS Premonition's warnings about the Borg. There has been no response. I fear we might be too late..."

The Enterprise arrives at Starbase 612, only to find its defense fleet in ruins and most of the station's facilities heavily damaged. The player must salvage as many ships as possible, and bring local stations back on-line in order to repel a second wave of attack, including an assault by assimilated Starfleet vessels, and eliminate the local Borg base.

Klingon campaign

To the Gates of Sto'vo'kor

The Borg have struck at Klingon territory as well. Chancellor Martok must lead an assault on a Borg force attacking the Gamma Eridon sector. Once the Borg have been eliminated, Martok heads for his command base to find out why expected reinforcements did not appear.

The Enemy Within

Having escaped from Worf in "Vendetta", Toral has assembled a formidable fleet, and launches an assault on Martok's starbase. The base must be held until the Avenger arrives, when Martok evacuates to the Defiant-class vessel, and leaves the sector, bound for Qo'noS, to present the Sword of Kahless to the Klingon High Council.

A Good Day to Die

Qo'noS is embroiled in conflict as Martok arrives aboard the Avenger. Worf's vessel is refitted with a cloaking device, and dispatched to trail Toral. Martok must attack and destroy Toral's main base. Toral manages to escape the attack, with Worf in hot pursuit...

Gray Eminence

Continuing from the end of "A Good Day to Die", Toral escapes to a Romulan base near the border. Martok's fleet follows behind, and launches an assault to clear the sector of all Romulan presence. With Toral and the Romulans routed, Martok announces that this is only the beginning of a larger war with the Romulans.

Romulan campaign

Cloak and Dagger

The new war with the Klingons is proving costly for the Star Empire. Admiral Sela is dispatched into Klingon space to rescue a noted Romulan scientist, Dr. Oldan, from a prison in the Krios system. Following the successful destruction of the prison, and the recovery of Dr. Oldan, Sela is called to the Neutral Zone by order of the Tal Shiar.

A Call to Power

A Tal Shiar operative, Jal'par, informs Sela that a group of Ferengi vessels have discovered the Omega particle in a remote corner of space. The Ferengi, unaware of the value of their discovery, are preparing to sell it to the Cardassians. Sela must intercept the trade, and seize Omega for their own uses. The Ferengi are easily bought off, and the Cardassians are eliminated. As the specially constructed containment vessel retrieves the particle, Borg transwarp signatures are detected, and the fleet heads for Romulus.

The Gauntlet

With the Borg in pursuit, Sela's fleet must negotiate the sector to reach a Romulan starbase beyond a wormhole at its edge. The Klingons are also in the sector, and Sela's fleet is too small and too vulnerable to take on a large force. The containment vessel is taken through the wormhole, and Jal'par remains behind to deal with the Borg threat.

Unholy Alliances

Sela negotiates a temporary alliance with the Borg. In exchange for eliminating Toral's base, the Romulans will give Omega to the Collective. The Klingon presence is formidable, and includes several Jach'eng-class superweapons. Once the Klingon threat is eliminated, Sela reneges on the deal, and a vast cloaked fleet attacks and destroys the Borg base. With their links to Toral severed, and the Borg threat temporarily subdued, and the Omega particle secured, the Romulans can begin negotiations to end the war with the Klingons.

Borg campaign

Resurrection

The Locutus clone

Having failed in acquiring the Omega particle from the Romulans, the Collective attacks a Dominion base so as to assimilate a Dominion cloning facility to create a clone of Jean-Luc Picard. Locutus is directed to acquire the Omega particle (which the Borg designate "Particle 010") at all costs.

Assimilation

The Borg have assimilated Jal'par, and learned the location of the Romulan starbase which is the temporary home of the Omega particle. With limited resources, the Borg must assimilate nearby vessels and starbases to gain enough ships to successfully capture the base. The Borg discover that the Federation is arranging a conference between the Romulans and the Klingons. Such an alliance would jeopardize the Collective's goals, and Locutus dispatches a vessel to intercept the Federation's ambassador, one Spock, before he reaches the conference.

This mission features the only appearance of the Breen in the game.

Extermination

Establishing a staging ground for the construction of a transwarp gate in the Pleiades Cluster - to return Omega to Unimatrix 01 - the Collective encounters a space-dwelling lifeform, Species 9341, whose energy attacks drain crew from ships and stations. Species 9341 seems to be immune to assimilation, therefore the sector must be cleansed of the species' presence. Since standard weapons are ineffective against the mother creatures, the Borg diamond's ultritium burst weapon must be developed and deployed. With the gate constructed, and Omega returned to the Delta Quadrant, Locutus is given a new objective: assimilate Earth.

The Twilight Hour

The Borg fleet has arrived in Sector 001, destroying the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards. The Federation fleet has pulled back into Earth orbit for a last stand, and Locutus confronts Picard. "Resistance is, and always has been, futile" he says, revealing that the Federation's attempt to orchestrate peace between the Romulans and Klingons has failed - Spock has been assimilated. The Federation stands alone. Hopelessly outnumbered, the Federation fleet falls to the Borg advance. The Avenger is destroyed, the Enterprise escapes through a temporal vortex created by the Premonition, and the assimilation of Earth begins...

Omega campaign

Once and Again

As the Federation loses the battle for Earth, the Premonition opens a temporal vortex. The Enterprise travels back in time, arriving near the Romulan/Klingon border just in time to prevent the attack on Spock's vessel. With the Borg converging on the area, the Enterprise and the escort fleet must get Spock to the conference intact.

A Line in the Sand

"The Twilight Hour" from the Federation's perspective. This time, however, the peace conference has succeeded, and the time-traveling Enterprise arrives with a combined Romulan and Klingon fleet. The original Enterprise travels back via the Premonition's temporal vortex to complete the causality loop. With the additional reinforcement, the Borg attack is repulsed and their Terran System base is destroyed. Locutus escapes via a transwarp gate, and the combined fleet pursues in standard warp.

The Alpha and the Omega, Part I

The Borg transwarp signatures have been tracked to their primary base in the Alpha Quadrant, the Pleiades Cluster (from "Extermination"). In order to completely wipe out the Borg threat, the transwarp gate must be captured, so that the fleet can trace the Borg fleet back to the Delta Quadrant, and destroy the Omega particle.

The Alpha and the Omega, Part II

The combined fleet uses the transwarp gate to journey into the heart of Borg space. A feint attack is quickly repelled by the Borg, but Worf in the Avenger and a small Klingon/Romulan fleet uses the diversion to sneak into the Unimatrix under cloak. A new transwarp gate is built using a captured Borg construction vessel, and the rest of the fleet jumps in. The Borg unimatrix and the Omega containment facility are attacked and destroyed, as is the cloned Locutus. At the last minute, the Collective dispatches a single Borg sphere back to 2364, destroying the USS Enterprise-D just after "Encounter at Farpoint", thus erasing the victory. The Premonition, protected from the changes in the timeline, travels back to eliminate the sphere (this provides a reference to an earlier comment by Picard in "Premonitions" - where he states he has seen the Premonition before).

Characters

Multiplayer mode

In multiplayer mode, the aim is to be the last player standing. Each player can choose one of the four races, and must build up a fleet to eliminate the other players. Play is possible over local area networks or over the internet via WON (World Opponent Network) servers. These servers are now being run by Vivendi Universal only until the demand for the game drops or people stop emailing them when the servers go down. The vessels and resources available can vary according to the settings used.

Instant Action

Instant Action is the single-player equivalent of multiplayer mode – the additional players controlled by computer. The player can make his or her own ships as they go along.

Easter Eggs

Press "Enter", type "showmethemoney", press "Enter" to add 2000 units of dilithium to your inventories. Since the code is repeatable, a large amount of dilithium can be received in seconds. Dilithium is what the players use to build their bases, ships, research technologies, etc. in this game.

To win the game, press "Enter", type "kobayashimaru", press "Enter".
