10 Games That'll Make You Feel Like You've Enlisted in Starfleet

We've got your most fully immersive 'Star Trek' experiences right here.

StarTrek.com

Star Trek is a universe full of seemingly never-ending potential. While you can spend time poring through the neverending creative output the Trek fandom produces — or even writing some fanfiction yourself — another great outlet for feeling like a part of the Star Trek universe is through its games. And wow, are there a lot of games out there. Not all the games out there are quite as successful as you'd like them to be, however many capture the spirit of the show and movies wonderfully well. At their best, these games make you feel part of the Star Trek universe in some small part, while still being highly enjoyable titles in their own right. We've gathered ten of those games, covering all the different parts of Star Trek to cater for every taste.

Star Trek Online

The massively multiplayer online role playing genre is the perfect choice for a Star Trek game. What could be better than a persistent universe that you can inhabit and choose to explore strange new worlds all of your own? The launch of Star Trek Online was a little rocky with early reports of it being buggy and repetitive, but time and regular updates have been very kind to it. You can easily pass away dozens of hours exploring the universe, getting involved in new storylines, and mostly doing anything that feels right to you. There are plenty of great cameos from some of your favorite characters including those from the Original Series, The Next Generation , and Voyager !

Star Trek: Elite Force

Given the generally peaceful nature of Starfleet, the first person shooter nature of Star Trek: Elite Force might seem oddly jarring at first, but it makes sense in the long run. Made by Raven Software, best known for its violent Soldier of Fortune series, Star Trek: Elite Force still managed to feel suitably Star Trek -esque thanks to its focus on fending off the Borg. You play as Ensign Alex Munro, a member of the Hazard Team — a specialist elite security force that's been tasked with dealing with dangerous away missions. The U.S.S. Voyager has been trapped in a starship graveyard so it's down to you to free it and protect it from hostile factions including the Borg and the Klingons. While it lacks the peacekeeping nature of many Star Trek tales, Elite Force does a great job of making you feel part of an away team, highlighting a different part of Starfleet life. A sequel, Star Trek: Elite Force II , was almost just as good too.

Star Trek: Bridge Crew

Star Trek: Bridge Crew doesn't have the greatest of depth to its gameplay, but who can resist being part of a crew via virtual reality? Played through four roles including the captain, tactical officer, engineer, and helm officer, each character template has a part to play. The captain is the one responsible for communicating mission objectives, while the helm officer controls the ship's course, the tactical officer deals with sensors and weaponry, and the engineer keeps a close eye on power distribution and repairs. It's a neat form of teamwork for those wearing the VR sets and one that's immediately appealing to those who have wanted to helm their own starship. After a time, you'll realise that the experience is a little bit samey and repetitive, but with the right group of friends, it's tough to resist all the same.

Star Trek The Next Generation: A Final Unity

Capturing the spirit and general feel of The Next Generation near perfectly, A Final Unity is easily one of the best Star Trek games out there, even 25 years after its initial release. Players control Captain Picard and the rest of the TGN crew in a mixture of point and click adventure, puzzle solving, and away team missions. There's room too for ship based combat as well as thinking how best to deal with issues diplomatically. Such a mixture of different elements is much of why A Final Unity feels like a 'true' Star Trek game. You can search various star systems, get to know the locals, while also choosing how best to deal with complicated situations. You're sure to enjoy feeling a true part of the Star Trek universe, even if the story is rather linear by modern standards.

Star Trek: Starfleet Command III

Much of Star Trek involves diplomacy and keen use of strategy. While Star Trek: Starfleet Command III skips the diplomacy, it has strategy to a tee. Placing you in the captain's chair, the game was intended to tie into Star Trek: Nemesis . That captain's chair isn't necessarily Starfleet based either, with the opportunity to be part of the Klingon Empire, as well as the Romulan Empire, and the Federation. It's a varied bunch of storylines which shows different perspectives admirably well. Combat can be a little hardcore as you figure out the best tactics to utilize, but there are good tutorials for guiding you through the paces. Customizing your ship as well as knowing what weapons to use and when is key here, in this combat focused strategy game.

Star Trek: Bridge Commander

Star Trek: Bridge Commander offers some cameos from beloved characters like Captain Picard and Commander Data but, for the most part, it's an individual story within the Star Trek universe. It revolves around a newly promoted captain who's been assigned to investigate an explosion of a star. You take command of the U.S.S. Dauntless as well as the U.S.S. Sovereign . The game is focused on ship based combat, much like Starfleet Command III, but it's a bit more accessible making it ideal for everyone who simply wants to feel in control of a Federation ship. You can interact with members of the bridge crew before opting to take the lead via the combat simulation screen. It's an older game but one that's aged well, providing some great combat sequences that make you feel truly part of something bigger than yourself.

Star Trek: Trexels II

A lot of Star Trek games are reasonably serious. Star Trek: Trexels II isn't one of those games. Instead, it's gloriously casual friendly in nature. You take command of a federation ship before embarking on some fairly lightweight missions as you collect up all your favorite characters and build upon your ship's success. Predictably, Star Trek: Trexels II is a mobile game that's free to play with options to buy extra content. It's the ideal game to dip into during a break from work as you can complete a mission in the space of a few minutes. It uses characters from all of the Star Trek universe and it's delightfully charming at times, even if it is very simple. If you're not a huge gamer but you're keen to try, this is the game for you.

Star Trek Legacy

Another strategy game but one that was available for consoles as well as PCs, Star Trek Legacy offered you the chance to control various different Federation starships across different eras in Star Trek history. How could you resist such variety? Those eras include the Enterprise era, Original Series , and Next Generation , with elements of Deep Space Nin e and Voyager . Admittedly, the game didn't review hugely well due to some issues with its control system, but we reckon it's still well worth any Star Trek fan's time. Being able to control such iconic ships as well as take part in reworked Starfleet history is gripping stuff, and it's enjoyable working through the storylines that unfold. Extensive voice work from all your favorite captains enriches the experience further.

Star Trek: Judgment Rites

The oldest game here, Star Trek: Judgment Rites features the Original Series cast in a series of episodic adventures. You control Captain Kirk as you talk it out with Spock, McCoy and the rest of the crew, before embarking on away team missions that can spark some combat sequences along the way. Part adventure, part action, it's a great way of feeling part of The Original Series and far too few games embrace the original days of Star Trek in such a way. The full principal cast is included here and it also features the last time that DeForest Kelley plays McCoy. Best of all, each episodic story is suitably entertaining and captures the spirit of The Original Series well. It may be tricky to track down nowadays but it's a worthwhile endeavor.

Star Trek: Birth of the Federation

A tough but rewarding strategy game, Star Trek: Birth of the Federation is a 4X turn-based strategy game - typically regarded as a more complex route than other games of this ilk. That means you're going to have to put some effort into learning it but if you're a fan of The Next Generation, it's worth it. The game was intended to tie-in with Star Trek: Insurrection with you taking control of one of five civilizations - Federation, Ferengi, Klingons, Romulans, or Cardassians. There's room too for thirty other races from Star Trek, each playing a more minor role along the way. There's a lot to take in as you establish diplomatic ties with other races, as well as work out how to extend your reach and what to do with new star systems, so Star Trek: Birth of the Federation can be very complex. However, stick with its steep learning curve and it's fantastic for making you feel truly part of the Star Trek atmosphere. Its attitude is perfectly in key with the diplomacy of The Next Generation.

4 best Star Trek games for Android

Published on September 18, 2021

Android users can download two official games based on the Star Trek series from the Google Play Store. Unfortunately, everything else is on an emulator. Unfortunately, Star Trek hasn’t seen the success of mobile games like its other, space opera counterpart.

Star Trek Fleet Command

Star trek timelines.

• Console emulators
• 10 best Star Trek apps for Android
• 5 of the best Star Wars mobile games

Price: Free to play

Star Trek Fleet Command is one of the more competent titles for Star Trek fans. It’s an MMO strategy game. Players explore new worlds, trade goods, join alliances, and do battle against the bad guys. The game has plenty of Star Trek cameos along with various factions to join decent graphics and tons of stuff to upgrade. It’s one of the few native Star Trek games and it gets frequent updates.

Star Trek Timelines is, by far, the best Star Trek game out there. Developed by Disruptor Beam, the strategy RPG lets you pick your own starship crew from hundreds of characters available from the six Star Trek TV series, each with their own special skills and abilities. You can then use that crew to explore the galaxy in your own ship, again based on the many starships shown in those series. You can also engage in starship combat, either with AI controlled enemies or online with other players.

Price: Free

There are a ton of decent Star Trek titles on PC. In fact, that’s the main platform for most video games from the series. Steam Link lets you play such games on mobile. It’s a bit difficult to set up for those who aren’t super tech savvy. However, once it’s set up, you can play PC Star Trek games from Steam on your mobile phone with a controller. Since the selection is much better on PC than it is on mobile, we consider this a legitimate method to get your Star Trek fix on your phone. The app is free, but the costs of Star Trek games vary on Steam itself.

Price: Free / Varies

Emulators are another good source of Star Trek games. You can play classic games like Star Trek: The Next Generation, a 1994 release for the Super Nintendo console, a bunch of old titles for the Commodore 64, and there are some other options. Much like mobile, there aren’t a ton of console games as the series mainly leans on PC for its main platform. Still, between Steam Link, a couple of good emulators, and the above options, you can play almost every Star Trek game in existence on your mobile phone. Hit the button below to check out our best list.

The best Star Trek games

The best Star Trek games you can find in this universe. Set phasers to fun.

Welcome to our list of the best Star Trek games on PC. The dream of exploring space, meeting strange new life and new civilisations; cresting the Final Frontier in the next chapter of humanity’s story; kissing green aliens. All of that. 

Star Trek’s relation to games has always been… shaky. Unlike Star Wars, which had Lucasarts’ hand on the tiller for at least the 1990s, it’s always been a licensed property and not often a successful one. Some studios tried to squeeze Trek into a genre it's not suited for. Others were just cash-grabs, like Star Trek: The Game Show, which relied on the comedic stylings of Q and his lovely female assistant Q to cover a truly soulless trivia contest. Still, companies keep trying, from early test adventures like The Kobayashi Alternative to the crappy game version of the JJ Abrams reboot.

But we’re not interested in those. What are the Trek games that do Gene Roddenberry’s vision proud? Here are our favourites, a collection of games which at least do enough to capture the Star Trek magic, even sometimes despite themselves. 

Star Trek: Judgment Rites

Judgement Rites isn’t the greatest game on this list, but it's arguably the best at putting you into the show. There's an authentic mix of bridge banter and combat and you're doing classic Star Trek tasks, like flying to new worlds and beaming down away teams to sort out their problems. Like its predecessor, 25th Anniversary, it followed the show’s episodic model, pitting Kirk and co against scenarios like Trelane recreating World War I on a distant planet, and a rift in time that promises the end of the Federation within eight days. Unlike 25th, there was also something of a running story involving a mysterious race watching the crew and seeing how they solved these problems, adding a little extra drama to the mix.

Neither the combat nor the adventuring is exactly top-tier, but they made a delicious pairing that was totally in keeping with The Original Series. It’s no wonder that even decades later, many still hold it up as the high point of any crew’s PC adventures. 

Star Trek: Voyager, Elite Force 1 and 2

Elite Force is an rare case where it makes sense to turn Star Trek into a shooter. Voyager is lost in the depths of space, surrounded by enemies, and while risking the senior staff for every casual mission works for television, in reality it’s a pretty dreadful idea. Cue the creation of the Hazard Team, just in time for Voyager to get trapped in a spaceship graveyard full of particularly troublesome trapped alien types.

The first level, set aboard a simulated Borg ship, set a great tone, right down to the Borg not reacting to your presence until triggered. Little expense was spared. The whole crew (including, retroactively, Jeri Ryan) voice their characters, and a real effort made to make the Hazard Team feel like a unit. For a while, it was even suggested that the concept might be added to the show. It wasn’t, though something similar would show up in Enterprise in the form of the MACO assault unit. Best of all, as well as fitting the show surprisingly well, it was a very solid shooter and by far the best action game spin-off. 

The biggest gaming news, reviews and hardware deals

Keep up to date with the most important stories and the best deals, as picked by the PC Gamer team.

Star Trek: Starfleet Command

There are two basic ways to make a Star Trek game. Either you try and do everything, or you phaser-focus on one particular aspect. Starfleet Command goes all-in on space battles. Forget simply locking phasers and firing photon torpedoes, Starfleet Command is based on the table-top war-game Star Fleet Battles, and a brutal demonstration of just how hard it would be to lead a ship like the Enterprise into battle. Everything your ship has its at your disposal, from weapons to shields to special equipment, in full 3D.

It’s brutally hard, but satisfying with it. Three Starfleet Command games were released, adding proper campaigns and additional races. Later games would offer somewhat similar looking combat, though vastly stripped down to avoid the Command learning curve. Still, if you have what it takes, it’s a challenge that you won’t find elsewhere.   

Okay, this is cheating. EGATrek isn’t an official Star Trek game. However, if you’re of a certain age, it is likely the Trek game that you remember playing first. It’s based on a game called Nettrek, originally the preserve of university servers and the like, and originally simulated the adventures of the Enterprise versus the Klingons and Romulans. After a raised eyebrow and a cough from Paramount, that became the adventures of the Lexington against an invading race called the Mongols. So, totally different!

It’s Star Trek though, right down to the ship design and use of Stardates, and your goal is to travel around and blow up all the Mongols in the system. While not much to look at now, it was definitely fun for the time—and felt a good deal more tactical than it was. It hasn’t aged well, but its place in history means it earns a place here, albeit quietly. 

Star Trek: Borg

Borg is one of the most unusual Star Trek games. It’s an interactive movie, and that’s definitely a knock against it. It’s an interactive movie with style though, and some genuinely smart design. You play a cadet whose father was killed by the Borg. As you flee from another attack from the cyborg singularity, the all-powerful force of smugness Q appears and offers you a deal: go back in time with him, and see if you can save your father from his fate.

The result is genuinely surprising. Unlike the other big Star Trek interactive movie, Klingon, this one benefits from Q capering around and not taking anything even slightly seriously. You even get to kick him in the balls at one point. Star Trek games don’t get much more satisfying than that! It’s so good, the Wiki even lists ‘it is possible to punch Q in the face’ as a gameplay feature.

The true cleverness though is how it handles its time-travel premise. Screw up and Q resets time for you to try again, and quite often that’s required for a puzzle—one in particular involves getting some codes from the Borg Collective. How do you do that? Let yourself be caught, read them while you’re a Borg, and make use of them when Q rewinds time. That’s far too clever for an interactive movie, even if the rest of it—the pace, the acting, the depth—is what you’d expect. 

Star Trek: Bridge Crew

More than any other game, Bridge Crew attempted to create The Dream. It uses VR headsets to put you and your friends on the bridge of a Star Trek vessel. Largely inspired by Artemis Spaceship Bridge Simulator, it works by giving each of you a console and thus controls/information that the other players don’t have, which forces everyone to work together. The captain is in charge, but will only know the engines are about to explode if told. The captain order the phasers fired, but it’s the weapons officer who actually pulls the trigger. Success depends on how well the crew integrates and does their individual jobs.

The main problem with it is that once you’ve done this a couple of times, the lack of depth becomes very apparent. There’s not all that much to actually do, and doing it quickly becomes rote. It doesn’t help that for full effect, you need a whole cadre of friends with expensive VR equipment, which is about as likely as the Enterprise crew not using the holodecks for sex. Still, it’s the game that many fans have been waiting for, and certainly a trip while it lasts. 

Star Trek: Bridge Commander

Bridge Commander is the best of the ‘command chair’ games. It is less brutal than Starfleet Command, but has more depth than the relatively simple shooter action of the adventure games or the Starfleet Academy game, which almost made the list.

The big clever feature is that you don’t control the ship so much as give orders to your individual crew members, making you feel more like a captain than a glorified pilot. You can jump in if necessary, but you’re mostly intended to sit back and trust your navigator to fly and your weapons officer to handle the combat. On top of that, it’s not just a series of quick battles; there is a full narrative campaign to work through. It is even possible to play with voice control, though not advised. When it works, it offers the full Captain experience. Far more often though, you just get blown up while swearing loudly. 

Star Trek The Next Generation: A Final Unity

A Final Unity is a fondly remembered game, though honestly one that’s better fondly remembered than replayed. Creators Spectrum Holobyte clearly set out to make the greatest Star Trek game ever. The game modelled space combat, away team adventure, diplomacy, freeform exploration of the galaxy, and its cleverer features let you you call the entire TNG crew for advice and handpick away teams. In practice, the developers bit off rather more than they could chew, and in trying to replicate TNG’s more serious tone, most of the adventure is honestly sluggish, humourless and slow.

So why’s it here? Primarily because in the moments that it does work, it really captures the TNG spirit, and aesthetically and in terms of story, it’s bang on. It’s just hard not to notice how, for instance, the backgrounds get cheaper and cheaper as the story goes on, or how much of the adventure consists of interminable conversations. Still, it’s easily the best of the TNG-era games, as much as that counts when the competition is the likes of super-primitive shooter Star Trek: Generations or Insurrection tie-in The Hidden Evil. At worst, it’s a game to be admired for what it tried, even if it wasn’t all it could have been. 

Star Trek: Birth of the Federation

That’s right, it’s the almost inevitable Master of Orion game in the Star Trek universe, and honestly I'm being a little generous including it here. Played casually, it’s absolutely fine—a fun game of expansion and discovery and scooping up minor races to be part of your growing empire. Over time though the length of turns renders it almost unplayable. Its main hook was definitely the familiar races, and being able to play with the likes of Klingons instead of just some random warlike species. The effectiveness of this shouldn’t be underestimated, and it’s easily one of the better attempts to paste the Trek universe over an existing game. If not for that though, it’s a pale shadow of not just later games like GalCiv, but prior strategy games from its own developer Microprose. 

Star Trek: Online

The first time I fired up Star Trek Online, I finished the tutorial, got the freedom of the universe, and immediately flew my ship to Deep Space Nine to see what, if anything, the team had done there. I was expecting to be told to come back in an expansion or two, or maybe to see the 3D model. Instead, I arrived, and was able to beam across and run around the set of the best Star Trek show of all time in pretty much all of its glory.

At its best, Star Trek Online is those moments. It continues stories from the TV shows, and even brings actors back to voice their characters. The game mixes space combot with away team action and gives you plenty of freedom to explore and chart your own path through the game. Unfortunately, since going free-to-play, much of the game pivoted around less enjoyable stuff—grinding, the push for new ships, and levelling up. Between those bits there’s still much to enjoy, including building up your crew and engaging in fun action against other players. It’s worth at least trying out, and playing for a while to enjoy the atmosphere and the satisfaction of commanding a ship in MMO space.

Star Trek: Starfleet Command Review

Starfleet Command is undoubtedly the best combat-oriented Trek game yet.

By Stephen Poole on April 12, 2000 at 10:05AM PDT

When Star Trek fans finally got their hands on Interplay's long-awaited Starfleet Academy a couple years back, a great many of them were disappointed to find that what they'd hoped would be a full-fledged starship simulation was, at its core, merely a run-of-the-mill space-combat game with Trek trappings. Interplay must have realized that Starfleet Academy just wasn't what Star Trek die-hards wanted, so it based its next Star Trek game on the board game Star Fleet Battles. The result is virtually a polar opposite of Starfleet Academy: Though its production values aren't nearly as slick, it's light-years ahead of its predecessor in terms of detail, strategy, tactics, and replay value. But while Starfleet Command is undoubtedly the best combat-oriented Trek game yet dished up for the PC, continued play reveals a slew of problems that keep it from achieving the "instant classic" status that some have hastily applied to it.

Just like the board game it's based on, Starfleet Command is almost staggering in its scope and, at least at first, in its complexity. In the single-player campaign and skirmish games, you can choose to represent one of six species. The familiar Federation, Romulans, and Klingons are here, as well as the lizard-like Gorn (featured in a single episode of the original series), the Lyrans (a derivative of the Kzinti, from the board game), and the Hydrans (three arms and three legs - too bad you never see one up close). With three different eras to choose from, that adds up to a whopping 18 different campaigns, featuring progressively faster and more sophisticated ships.

The prospect of 18 campaigns is pretty exciting in itself, but the manual claims that Starfleet Command goes much further with a "dynamic universe generator" called Dynaverse, designed to ensure that "every campaign game of Starfleet Command will be different." Unfortunately, that isn't exactly the case. Certain parameters of each campaign may vary - the Federation might be at war with the Gorn and the Hydrans one time, then fighting the Romulans if you restart. Some of these random variations can be inconsistent, with bitter enemies accusing you of breaking treaties that never even took place. Otherwise, certain campaign scripts remain identical every time, such as after you join the Federation Special Task Force or Klingon Black Staff sects.

If you elect not to join elite organizations such as these, the missions basically boil down to fighting pirates, escorting convoys, and defending bases. This can last for about an hour before you're handed a half-dozen heavy cruisers and told to destroy an enemy base. That takes about ten seconds, and then the campaign's over and you're told you're being hailed as a hero back home. Clearly, the only satisfying route in Starfleet Command is to join the Special Forces of a given race, whose scripted campaigns are more involving than the less linear ones.

There's still plenty of campaigning even if each of the 18 scenarios plays out similarly each time, and the process of acquiring new and better ships can be enough to keep you going for hours and hours. You buy new ships and equipment and recruit new officers by spending "prestige points" earned by completing missions successfully. The better you perform, the more prestige points you earn. The interface for buying and outfitting ships is clean and efficient, and an accessible Vessel Library makes it simple to determine if your prospective purchase is suitable for your next mission.

Though you nominally have officers assigned to all the usual posts - helm, security, science, tactical, repair, weapons, and so on - the bottom line is that it's up to you to control each of these ship functions. It sounds like a lot to do, especially when you toss in stuff like sending over "hit and run" teams of marines to capture an opposing vessel or to destroy enemy ship components (which you cannot target specifically with your onboard weapons). But the game's tutorials help you master the basics in very short order. It's also helpful that you can pause the game at any time and issue all the orders you like before resuming play. Yes it's complex, but it isn't overwhelming.

Once in combat, you'll be blown away by the richly detailed 3D starships, and the visual effects for weapons and explosions are equally impressive. But the decision to place these 3D models into what's essentially a 2D playing field may have you scratching your head: The only navigation options are for speed and turning right or left (there is no first-person view, by the way). The result is that battles often look like they're being fought on a galactic turntable, especially if you use the "padlock" view to keep the targeted ship in sight. It's troubling, as is the fact that ships appear to pass through one another - you can even see your missiles pass through friendly units on their way to a target. However, in the end you'll get used to it - but then you'll begin to run into other issues that are more difficult to accept.

The troubles begin with mission briefings, which give you so little information that you'll sometimes have no clue about your objective halfway through the mission. And for a game of fleet tactics, communications in Starfleet Command are extremely limited: About the only options you'll get after hailing someone are "taunt" and "surrender" - even when dealing with allies! And it's impossible to tell a ship in your fleet to attack a specific enemy unless it's the one you're targeting, which can be frustrating when you want a smaller ship to deal solely with smaller enemy ships while you tackle the big guys.

Meanwhile, the tactical map is almost worthless because you can't use it to order ship movement, and it doesn't identify the icons that are displayed - the only ship you can absolutely, positively identify from this map is your own since it's always in the middle. You can target an object by right-clicking on it in the tactical map, but to find out exactly what you've targeted you've got to eyeball it from the captain's chair - the same view you must use to send ships in your fleet to a specific location. Sure, this system works - you can zoom out a huge distance, select a friendly, then click at a point in space - but for ships as highly advanced as these, it seems pretty primitive.

Then there's the issue of ship identification. It seems almost obvious that hostiles should be highlighted in red for quick identification, but in Starfleet Command, they're bracketed in blue like everything else. You can supposedly use a target-enemy command to cut down on the confusion, but it sometimes winds up targeting planets and other nonhostile objects, possibly because some dangerous ships apparently aren't classified as enemies because you're not actually at war with them. You'll also begin to suspect the game's artificial intelligence routines after you lose enough times. These aren't what you'd call state of the art: Expect your security officer to speak nonsense from time to time, and beware while escorting convoys, for they're liable to run headlong into asteroids they've seen far in advance.

This is not to suggest that Starfleet Command isn't any fun. The huge array of options you're provided in battle - sending shuttles to attack enemies, reallocating power to meet the changing combat conditions, using tractors to hold incoming missiles at bay, and more - provide Starfleet Command with an unprecedented level of depth for a Star Trek game. Multiplayer Starfleet Command is also a real blast: Even with relatively high latencies on Mplayer, the action was smooth and satisfying. And the different multiplayer modes - base attack/defense, several variations on a "last man standing" theme, and a "pass the tribble" game where you attack enemies by beaming tribbles aboard their ships - meshed nicely with the game's complex tactics. But though you'll enjoy it for quite some time, you'll also realize that Starfleet Command could have spent more time in the dry dock before shipping to retail outlets.

All Codes For Star Trek Fleet Command

Quick links, all active codes for star trek fleet command, how to redeem codes for star trek fleet command.

Star Trek Fleet Command 's 4X ("Explore, Expand, Exploit, Exterminate") strategy approach to Star Trek makes it rather akin to a lighter, space-themed, Civilization game. It covers a wide gamut for every sort of Trek fan, too, from Deep Space Nine to Discovery, TOS to Strange New Worlds and beyond.

Roblox: Anime Spirits Codes

Plenty of codes exist for in-game rewards, though, as is the nature of these sorts of things, these codes are altered on a routine basis. Something from six months ago isn't likely to work today, whenever "today" may be as you're reading this. We've got you covered with a consistently updated list.

Star Trek Fleet Command is available for mobile and PC devices. Our screenshots will always be for the PC version, but the mobile version's layout is nearly identical, so you shouldn't have any trouble finding anything.

We haven't been successful in redeeming codes unless they're capitalized as seen above. Put another way, "Eviscerator" doesn't work, but "EVISCERATOR" does.

You'll need to progress several minutes into the tutorial before you're given the opportunity to redeem codes. When you get there, you'll also have several free chests , so make sure to open those up!

Once Geordi has guided you through a handful of objectives, check the top-right corner of your screen and click the "CLAIM" button . You'll see Chests and Redeem Code ; choose the latter.

You may be asked to create a Scopely account at this point. Notably, we weren't; on PC, at least, we simply registered for an account upon first booting up the game.

Simply type the code title into the Redeem Code box to obtain your rewards. You may be told you are ineliglble ; sometimes, this is related to an Ops Level prerequisite , while other times, it's simply the system being in error.

Exit the code entry screen, and, if you are indeed eligible despite the message, you will see the rewards on the following screen.

Every Enterprise Captain In Star Trek, Ranked

There is no ship more venerated in Star Trek than the Enterprise, and many officers have served as captain, but how do they rank against each other?

There have been many captains and leaders in the Star Trek universe over two dozen films and series across its six-decade history. However, there is no more storied command than those who get to captain the USS Enterprise. However, not all captains are created equal, and some who've earned that position has done it better than others.

For some of the Starfleet officers on this list, the vast majority of their heroics and adventures remain only in the imaginations of fans. Some were only seen on their worst days, and others have iconic Star Trek episodes or films made about their best days. In ranking the captains of the USS Enterprise, the focus will remain on those who were given official command.

10 Fleet Admiral Elizabeth Shelby Had Ambition and a Short Tenure in the Center Seat

Elizabeth denehey as seen in star trek: picard.

Admiral Elizabeth Shelby doesn't really rate highly, but her time commanding the USS Enterprise-F was significant. Introduced in Star Trek: The Next Generation 's "All Good Things," she was an ambitious, career-driven expert on the Borg who clashed with Commander Will Riker, especially after his captain was assimilated into Locutus of Borg . Naturally, he was saved from that fate, and Shelby went onto a successful career in Starfleet.

Fans didn't see her again until Frontier Day, the anniversary of the launch of the NX-01 Enterprise in Star Trek: Picard Season 3. Ironically, her desire to network all the Starfleet vessels in operation allowed the Borg to more successfully assimilate Starfleet than they ever had before. The last anyone saw of her, she was seated in the captain's chair of the Enterprise-F shot multiple times by phaser fire . According to showrunner Terry Matalas, however, "she might be alright."

9 Captain Edward Jellico Was a Unique Leader, but a Wrong Fit for the Enterprise

Ronny cox as seen in star trek: the next generation.

One of the fiercest Star Trek fan debates is whether Edward Jellico was actually a good captain or not. He took command of the USS Enterprise-D when Captain Picard was sent on a deep-cover, top-secret mission investigating Cardassians. This led to the famous "There are Four Lights!" episode , after all. However, good captain or not, he wasn't particularly good for the crew of the Enterprise .

As captain, Picard kept an open-door policy, often willing to hear the complaints and suggestions of his crew. Jellico was no such leader. In fact, he couldn't stand Will Riker. He took wild risks, and his confidence bordered on arrogance . Yet, his strategy successfully prevented a Cardassian invasion and, at the very least, he got Deanna Troi in her Starfleet uniform instead of her civilian attire.

8 John Harriman's Best Act as Captain Was Asking for Help

Alan ruck as seen in star trek: generations, why wesley crusher left star trek, and why he came back.

Like Captain Jellico, John Harriman was another USS Enterprise captain in the shadow of one far greater than he could ever be. As the first commanding officer of the USS Enterprise-B, an Excelsior class ship , he had to follow in the footsteps of none other than James T. Kirk. The shakedown cruise for the Enterprise-B was a media event, with Kirk, Scotty and Chekov on the bridge to mark the occasion, in Star Trek: Generations . The movie was about passing the "torch" to Star Trek: The Next Generation's cast, but this cruise was all about Harriman.

Once the Enterprise-B got a distress call about passenger vessels trapped in what fans soon learned was "the Nexus," it was clear he was out of his depth. Unlike Jellico, who did things his own way, Harriman was not too confident (or arrogant) to ask for help . In allowing Captain Kirk to spring into action, the ship was able to rescue some of the survivors. However, for the rest of Harriman's time in command, he would be known as the captain who got James T. Kirk killed .

7 Captain Seven of Nine and the USS Enterprise-G Has Yet to Be Told

Jeri ryan as seen in star trek: picard.

Even though her story as USS Enterprise captain hasn't been told yet, Seven of Nine's legacy in Star Trek is a big one. First introduced in Season 4 of Star Trek: Voyager , Seven of Nine is Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek ideal personified . She was "born" from the most vicious and intransigent enemy Starfleet ever knew, and is now the captain of the ninth Starfleet vessel to bear that storied name. In other words, she's the "seventh of the ninth."

While Paramount's financial future is questionable, they should still immediately greenlight Star Trek: Legacy , the spinoff series that would follow Seven of Nine's command. Through Voyager , Picard and even in her expanded universe stories, Seven of Nine is a remarkable character. She's survived more than most Starfleet officers. Even though she lost faith in the organization (as they lost faith in her), she remains committed to its highest ideals . As Captain Shaw said in his holographic message, "the book she writes" will be one every Star Trek fan will read until the pages crumble from the bindings.

6 Christopher Pike Was a Good Leader, but Couldn't Hold on to His Ship

Anson mount as seen in star trek: strange new worlds, et al..

Other than his time in the Kelvin Timeline, Christopher Pike was a reluctant captain . In both the first failed Star Trek pilot and the pilot of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds , Pike doesn't really want to be the captain. He felt the weight of responsibility, both for the lives of the crew and, later, his own life, too heavily. However, Captain Pike also represented the best of Starfleet and was quite good at his job .

The character as seen in Star Trek: Discovery and Strange New Worlds is where he's been most defined. He's deferential to his crew more so than any other captain, save perhaps for Jean-Luc Picard. Unlike his 24th Century counterpart, Pike knows better than most how the whole of Star Trek 's future hangs on his every decision. Yet, with honor and bravery, he and the crew of the USS Enterprise still boldly go towards the unknown, ready to face whatever problems they find.

5 Jonathan Archer Made Mistakes, but Showed the Best of Humanity, Too

Scott bakula as seen in star trek: enterprise, this underrated star trek series has the franchise's best pilot.

It was a long road getting from Star Trek: The Original Series to Enterprise , the prequel series about the first Starfleet vessel to bear the name. A ship with so much potential needed a captain of equal measure who could stand and face the unknown in the galaxy without fear. That was Captain Jonathan Archer, and though he wasn't perfect, he was the leader the future Federation needed.

During Archer's time as the Enterprise's captain, there was no blueprint for his job, no one whom he could ask for advice or orders. He made many mistakes, particularly when the NX-01 Enterprise went to war in Season 3. Yet, he was also the leader who showed the larger galaxy that humanity belonged among the stars and helped to create the United Federation of Planets .

4 Starfleet's Red Lady, Rachel Garrett, Understood the Burden of Command

Tricia o'neill as seen in star trek: the next generation.

While not the first woman to captain a ship on-screen, Rachel Garrett was the first woman to command one named USS Enterprise. In Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 3, Episode 15, "Yesterday's Enterprise," she accidentally found her way into the 24th Century face-to-face with her successor. This episode, more than any others, explains how time travel works in Star Trek , because the moment she arrived everything changed.

Yet, for all she did before becoming captain (some of which fans will see in Michelle Yeoh's Star Trek movie ), she earned her place among the legends in what she did next. Knowing she would likely face certain death, she chose to go back to where she belonged on the off chance it would make for a better future . However, she never got the chance to find out for sure.

3 Richard Castillo Was a Starship Captain for 12 Minutes, and He Saved the Future

Christopher mcdonald as seen in star trek: the next generation.

Another Starfleet officer lost from his own time, Richard Castillo began "Yesterday's Enterprise" as a Lieutenant. He ended the episode as the captain of the ship, and he knew he was taking the USS Enterprise-C into certain destruction . It was the last order of Captain Garrett, but he had the courage and strength of character to follow it.

While audiences don't really know what happened when the Enterprise-C made it back to her time, they can guess. The timeline reverted to what it had been, meaning he and the ship did her job. They sacrificed themselves for a future they'd never get to see, because the future they did wasn't one worth saving.

2 Jean-Luc Picard Was Never Better Than on the Bridge of the Enterprise

Patrick stewart as seen in star trek: the next generation, et al., how star trek: the next generation disserviced this fan-favorite character.

In all but two episodes of the revival series Star Trek: Picard , the titular hero is not in command of a starship. While this series has its merits ( even Picard Season 2 ), Jean-Luc Picard is only truly at his best when in command of the USS Enterprise. Over the seven seasons of The Next Generation to the four films that followed, almost no one was better suited for command. While he did resign in protest from Starfleet twice (in Insurrection and before Picard Season 1), he did so because the organization failed to live up to its own ideals.

What makes Captain Picard perfect for the job is both his wits and ability to strategize his way out of a problem. It's also how willing he is to delegate responsibility . Unlike most Star Trek series lead captains, he doesn't have to go on every away mission. Yet, when it is time for the captain to stand up and do the job, he's the one who will make sure history never forgets the name "Enterprise."

1 Captain James T. Kirk Was the Original and Best for a Reason

William shatner as seen in star trek: the original series, et al..

From talking no fewer than four computers to death to risking his career and making Starfleet an enemy just to save Spock , there is no one like Captain James T. Kirk . In "Naked Time" (an episode in Season 1 of Star Trek: The Original Series) , the episode ends with Kirk professing his love for the USS Enterprise. "Never lose you," he swears, "never," but of course, he does

In Star Trek III: The Search for Spock , he has to self-destruct the ship. Immediately filled with regret, Dr. McCoy reminds him that he turned certain "death into a fighting chance to live." Even in newer stories, like the 2009 Star Trek movie or even Strange New Worlds , the USS Enterprise needs Kirk on the bridge.

The complete Star Trek series and films are available to own on DVD, Blu-ray, digital and most stream on Paramount+, while the first 13 films stream on Max

The Star Trek universe encompasses multiple series, each offering a unique lens through which to experience the wonders and perils of space travel. Join Captain Kirk and his crew on the Original Series' voyages of discovery, encounter the utopian vision of the Federation in The Next Generation, or delve into the darker corners of galactic politics in Deep Space Nine. No matter your preference, there's a Star Trek adventure waiting to ignite your imagination.

All 9 Battlestar Galactica 2004 Actors Who Also Appeared In Star Trek

Voyager is why star trek: ds9's starship is called defiant, francesca's new romance breaks bridgerton tradition & it's very important.

• Star Trek: Picard season 2 explores Jean-Luc's childhood trauma with his father Maurice, shedding new light on their complex relationship.
• James Callis portrays Maurice Picard, Jean-Luc's father, in Star Trek: Picard, adding depth to the character's backstory.
• Battlestar Galactica's Callis, known for his role as Dr. Gaius Baltar, is now part of two iconic science fiction franchises.

In Star Trek: Picard season 2, Battlestar Galactica's James Callis portrayed Maurice Picard, the father of Admiral Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart). Picking up twenty years after the events of Star Trek: Nemesis , Star Trek: Picard saw Jean-Luc get pulled into more galaxy-saving adventures with friends both new and old. In Picard season 2, Picard was forced to confront his childhood trauma thanks to interference from Q (John de Lancie). Throughout season 2, Picard experienced flashbacks to his childhood that helped him recontextualize the complex relationship between his parents, Yvette (Madeline Wise) and Maurice Picard.

A reimagining of NBC's 1978 series of the same name, 2004's Battlestar Galactica was created by screenwriter and producer Ronald D. Moore, who had also worked on Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager, and co-wrote Star Trek Generations and Star Trek: First Contact. Battlestar Galactica followed the remnants of a distant human civilization as they searched for a fabled colony known as Earth after suffering a devastating attack from advanced androids known as Cylons. James Callis starred in Battlestar Galactica as Dr. Gaius Baltar, an arrogant scientist who unwittingly enabled the Cylons' attack.

A new Battlestar Galactica series set in the same universe as the 2004 show is currently in the works at Peacock, with Mr. Robot creator Sam Esmail as executive producer.

The original Battlestar Galactica featured many Star Trek actors throughout the 1970s, and Ronald D. Moore's 2004 reboot kept up this tradition.

Battlestar Galactica’s James Callis Is Jean-Luc’s Father In Star Trek: Picard

Picard season 2 forced jean-luc to see his father in a new light..

In Star Trek: Picard season 2 , episode 7, "Monster," Jean-Luc Picard relives painful memories from his past as he lies unconscious after being struck by a car. The dreaming Jean-Luc is confronted by his father, Maurice, wearing a Starfleet uniform , and Admiral Picard's buried memories of his father chasing the young Jean-Luc and his mother around their house resurface. While Picard remembered his father as being abusive, Maurice was actually trying to care for Jean-Luc's mentally ill mother, Yvette, in the only way he knew how. Maurice tried to protect the young Jean-Luc and do what he could for Yvette, but she refused to seek outside help.

Later, when Admiral Picard revisits his childhood home in La Barre, France, he experiences more flashbacks, remembering a traumatic hide-and-seek game he once played with his mother in the tunnels beneath their home. Suffering from a psychotic break, Yvette tried to take Jean-Luc away, prompting Maurice to lock his wife in her room for her own safety. Yvette later took her own life, for which Picard blamed both himself and his father. Maurice and Jean-Luc were never particularly close, and they became estranged after Picard joined Starfleet rather than tend to his family's vineyards.

Clive Church played an elderly Maurice Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation season 6's "Tapestry" decades before James Callis was cast in the role for Star Trek: Picard .

James Callis’ Acting Career & Roles

Callis is most known for battlestar galactica, but he has appeared in several other popular series..

English actor James Callis began his acting career in the late 1990s, appearing in several British television shows and mini-series. His debut film role came in 2001's Bridget Jones's Diary, in which he portrayed Bridget Jones's best friend Tom, a role he reprised in the two sequel films. Callis is most remembered for portraying Dr. Gaius Baltar on Battlestar Galactica , a role that earned him an award for Best Supporting Actor on Television at the 2005 Saturn Awards. Throughout Battlestar Galatica's run, Baltar wore many different hats, from scientist to villain to President to cult leader, but one thing he never was, was boring.

James Callis portrayed Athan Cole in Syfy's 12 Monkeys created by Star Trek: Picard showrunner Terry Matalas.

In another role with a Star Trek connection, James Callis portrayed Athan Cole in Syfy's 12 Monkeys created by Star Trek: Picard showrunner Terry Matalas. Callis also appeared in episodes of Numb3rs, Eureka, CSI, The Musketeers, and MacGyver, and co-starred as Simon Hardwick in the shortlived CBS drama Blood & Treasure. In one of his most recent roles, he provides the voice for Alucard in Netflix's animated adaptation of Castlevania and its sequel, Castlevania: Nocturne . James Callis may have only guest starred in Star Trek: Picard, but he's now part of two of science fiction's most iconic franchises.

Star Trek: Picard is available to stream on Paramount+.

Battlestar Galactica is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video.

Star Trek: Picard

After starring in Star Trek: The Next Generation for seven seasons and various other Star Trek projects, Patrick Stewart is back as Jean-Luc Picard. Star Trek: Picard focuses on a retired Picard who is living on his family vineyard as he struggles to cope with the death of Data and the destruction of Romulus. But before too long, Picard is pulled back into the action. The series also brings back fan-favorite characters from the Star Trek franchise, such as Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan), Geordi La Forge (LeVar Burton), Worf (Michael Dorn), and William Riker (Jonathan Frakes).

Battlestar Galactica

The 2004 science fiction TV series Battlestar Galactica is a reimagining of the 1978 series of the same title. Created by Glen A. Larson, the original Battlestar Galactica features a fictional human civilization living in a distant star system called the Twelve Colonies. They are in constant battle against a cybernetic race called the Cylons, who want to exterminate the human race. A massive attack was launched, and only those who made it onboard the Battlestar Galactica and its fleet survived. They navigate space in search of the mythical 13th colony called Earth. Battlestar Galactica is under the command of President Laura Roslin (Mary McDonnell) and Colonial Fleet Officer, Admiral William Adama (Edward James Olmos).
