DESCRIPTION

Virtual captains again venture out to the vast reaches of Federation space through this next episode in the Starfleet Command series. Though billed as an expansion pack, this is a stand-alone release that does not require any of the original games to play. In Star Trek: Starfleet Command - Orion Pirates, missions revolve around the underground cartel of pirates and privateers featured in original series episodes like "Journey to Babel" and "The Menagerie Parts I and II." The pirates are organized into eight different families and players have the option to fly for any of these. There is also the noble choice to fly for Starfleet and try squelch the nefarious business of the Orions. No matter where the player's loyalties fall, the game offers 12 single player missions and several multiplayer battles to challenge his or her mettle. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide
