Attention Klingon Cadets! Academy Enrollment Begins At E3.
LOS ANGELES, California, May 11, 2000 – 14* East, a division of Interplay Entertainment Corporation, is pleased to present a whole new breed of space-combat simulators at this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), Star Trek®: Klingon Academy™. Star Trek: Klingon Avademy places cadets under the command of General Chang, the greatest living warrior in the Klingon Empire. Cadets will take the helm of numerous, large scale warships of original design. Boasting rich graphics, new weapon systems, tactically diverse environments and interactive space terrain, Star Trek: Klingon Academy is scheduled for release this summer, 2000.
"Our goal for Star Trek: Klingon Academy was to create an all-new STAR TREK gaming experience, uniquely different from what has been seen before" stated Raphael Hernandez, Klingon’s producer at Interplay. "Players are challenged to battle their warships through a simulated war campaign against the Federation - all of which is set in diverse, tactical environments which include asteroid fields, black holes, ion storms and nebulae. Additionally, Klingon Academy is the first look at battle from what has traditionally been the enemy side."
The story of Star Trek: Klingon Academy is portrayed solely from the Klingon perspective. As Torlek, a young Klingon warrior inducted into the prestigious Klingon Defense Force’s Elite Command Academy, the player is instructed by General Chang, one of the most esteemed warriors in Klingon history. The Elite Command Academy’s curriculum includes learning the code of the honorable warrior, battle tactics and the rigors of warship command.
The foundation of the Klingon Academy’s lessons lies in a full scale simulated war with the United Federation of Planets and, after successful completion of the Academy’s term, recruitment to fight with General Chang in an even greater, real-life conflict. Typical battle consists of large-scale engagements including entire fleets of capital size ships from among the six distinct races. Over thirty of these ships are exclusive to Star Trek: Klingon Academy, and are brand-new to the STAR TREK universe. The new weapon systems require specialized tactics to successfully employ or counter within any given battle situation. These systems include an Antimatter Field Projector Device and the Tractor Beam Resonator Cannon.
