Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a sci-fi space combat game where players, as elite Starfleet pilots, engage in dogfights against Borg scout craft. The premise involves defending Klingon space from a Borg incursion after the Dominion War, with players piloting advanced Valkyrie-class attack ships.
Story
Briefing
From: Fleet Admiral Alynna Nechayev, Starfleet Command, Starbase One.
To: Ensign Ryan Cooper, Starfleet Academy Campus, San Francisco, Earth.
Stardate: 54111.79
As of this Stardate, you and your fellow Red Squad members are hereby assigned to the U.S.S. Typhon NX-85808 under the command of Lieutenant Commander Worf, Federation Ambassador to the Klingon Empire now on detached duty to Starfleet Command. You will report immediately to the Typhon for assignment to a Valkyrie squadron and operational deployment.
The Typhon and her Valkyrie squadron have been placed at the disposal of our Klingon allies, following a number of recent attacks on their vessels and facilities by what appears to be a force of Borg scout craft. In order to maintain a Klingon presence in this operation, the Empire's ruler, Chancellor Martok, has requested that Lieutenant Commander Worf be given command of the Typhon during this mission.
It is Starfleet's intention that the Typhon locate and intercept these Borg craft in an attempt to prevent any deeper penetration into Klingon space. In the wake of the recent war with the Dominion, Starfleet and Klingon forces are still in the process of rebuilding, so reinforcements will be few.
With a border crisis in Breen space occupying the majority of the Federation's starships, the only other Starfleet vessels in the area are the U.S.S. Sentinel, currently undergoing engine trials, and the science vessels U.S.S. Lovell and U.S.S. Discovery. As the top flight pilots in Starfleet's ranks, Red Squad are expected to deal with this threat of invasion swiftly and decisively. Good luck and good hunting!
Red Squad
An elite group of Starfleet cadets, Red Squad's members are drawn from the best of the best at Starfleet Academy for special training programs and unique missions of the utmost secrecy. Although Red Squad has been tarnished in the past by claims of overconfidence and arrogance, the group maintains a reputation for excellence.
As a newly-graduated Ensign and a member of this elite squad, you are expected to prove without a doubt that Red Squad is capable of acting with honor, courage and heroism.
Valkyrie Offensive and Defensive Systems
The Valkyrie-class attack ship is equipped with a standard weapons arsenal of directed-energy weapons and guided munitions. In addition, its modular weapons array is also capable of accepting enhancements and augmented defense packages as they become available.
•
Type-9 Phaser: Standard beam phaser, suitable for targets at close range.
•
Type-10 Phaser: Up-rated phaser cannon, suitable for targets at medium range.
•
Compression Phaser: Type-10 Phaser with additional plasma compressor providing higher damage at a slower rate of fire.
•
Photon Torpedoes: Standard projectile munitions with a high-yield matter-antimatter warhead.

GAMEPLAY
Head-Up Display (HUD)
Your Valkyrie's HUD is made up of three distinct displays laid out from left to right along the bottom of your screen. At the extreme left are your weapons controls. The first icon indicates your energy weapons compliment and current primary weapon, while the second indicates your projectile weapons compliment and current secondary weapon.
Using O button to select your weapons will activate these icons and display your current weapons settings. In the middle of the HUD is your sensor display, which shows the relative position of your ship to allied and enemy vessels in your area as a circular panel. At the far right of your screen are your displays for energy management of weapons and engines, and your current hull and shield strengths.
While aboard the U.S.S. Typhon, you may be assigned to man one of the ship's defense turrets. The turret HUD places the sensor display in the top left corner of your screen, and the hull and shields display in the top right corner. During Holomatch play, the HUD elements are arranged with the sensor display in the bottom right corner of the screen, the hull and shields display in the top left corner and the weapons display in the lower left.
Targets behind and to the sides of your vessel are those outside the triangular wedge.
Hull and Shields
All starships have a hull and shield capacity based on their size and power outputs. In order to engage and neutralize enemy vessels, you must first destroy their shields before firing on their hull.
The displays at the lower right of your screen indicate the hull and shield strength of your Valkyrie. A blue color indicates that your hull and shields are at optimum power and red indicates that they are weakening. If the displays begin to glow, beware this indicates that your shields are about to collapse and your hull is in danger of breach.
Energy Management System
The Valkyrie's energy requirements are controlled by the vessel's on-board computer, which shunts power from the main reserve to the engines or weapons as needed. The system has three parts:
•
Energy Reserve - This is the main pool of energy and all power is distributed from this resource. The reserve can be replenished by picking up Warp Plasma remnants with your ship's Bussard collectors.
•
Weapons Energy Meter - This gauge shows weapons power usage. Note that using the Motion Lock, Charged Weapons and the Cloaking Device will cause power to drain faster than normal.
•
Engine Energy Meter - This gauge shows engine power usage. Note that using Warp Speed, Strafing and Evasive Maneuvers will cause power to drain faster than normal.
Video Window
During the game, you may receive hails and communications of importance to your mission from other vessels nearby. Visual transmissions are displayed in the Video Window, which appears in the top left corner of your screen as required.
