Star Trek: Starfleet Command II - Empires at War is a computer game based upon Star Fleet Battles and is the follow-up to Star Trek: Starfleet Command.

[edit] Beginning

Captain's Log, stardate 9611.4. Captain Hikaru Sulu of the USS Excelsior reporting, on patrol near the Encebaran Nebula. In the aftermath of the conflicts resulting from the disappearance of the Organians, Starfleet returned its primary focus to missions of science and exploration.
But now, our pursuit of these higher endeavours has been cut short. The Organians have returned, and they are not alone. A galactic superpower, known as the Interstellar Concordium, has allied with the Organians. Their goal is our complete subjugation.
They believe that only the military might of the Concordium can put an end to the wars still raging across our galaxy. Ironically, this skewed idea of peace creates even greater bloodshed.
But much of the galaxy's attention drawn to the new invaders, the ancient hatreds between the Mirak and the Lyrans have evolved into major confrontations.
The galaxy is now in a state of total war and chaos. This is a dark time for us all. But, adversity breeds innovation, and the Federation will not fall without a fight.

[edit] Plotline

The game's plotline is based mainly around the Concordium's War of Pacification, which caused tentative truces between local powers to end the incident.

[edit] Gameplay

There are three types of gameplay - tutorial, skirmish and campaign.

[edit] Tutorial

In the tutorial, you are guided through the main controls of a starship by Captain Sulu. Missions included are weapons, science and command.

[edit] Skirmish

You can choose any ship that belongs to the seven main races, from a frigate to a battleship. There are many different types of ship in each category, including some of the main "canon universe" ships belonging to the Federation, Romulans and Klingons.

[edit] Campaign

You can play as any of the seven races. There are two main campaigns being fought, the ISC War of Pacification and the Mirak Campaign. The first race listed is the race the player controls.

More fighter classes were made available to the Hydrans as well. The Romulans, Lyrans, and Gorn received Interceptors/Fast Patrol ships, similar to said craft used in Star Fleet Battles. Also added was Anti-Drone Defense to all appropriate races.
