Boldly Go Where No One Has Gone Before - Star Trek: New Worlds.

LOS ANGELES, California, May 11, 2000 – 14* East, a division of Interplay Entertainment Corp., is pleased to present the first ground based strategy game set in the STAR TREK® universe at this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), Star Trek®: New Worlds™. Star Trek: New Worlds lets the player colonize, mine resources, research, and defend and protect the frontier and it’s colonists, resulting in an unequaled, up-close and personal gaming experience. Star Trek: New Worlds is scheduled for release this Fall, 2000.

Star Trek: New Worlds is a real-time strategy game created in real 3D, combining cutting edge technology and total interaction with a uniquely immersive gaming experience. The player may choose to play as an honorable member of the Federation, as one of the Klingon Imperial Task Force or amongst the regiments of the Romulan Star Empire and develop or destroy the frontier in over 25 unique missions.

New Worlds, like no other Star Trek game before it, allows the player to experience the final frontier first hand. No more Starship bridges or view-screens to separate the player from the action; just expansive planet surfaces and meeting the enemy eye-to-eye.

Players will command new, never-before-seen vehicles, including the Federation Phaser Tank, the Klingon Mobile Disruptor Battery and the Romulan Cloaking Tank. The gamer will be able to construct colonies from a vast array of structures to include Hydroponics Bays, Photon Artillery Launchers and many more. Every structure and environment in New Worlds is fully modeled and texture mapped, and remains true to the STAR TREK universe.
The player’s crew will evolve and grow with each new experience, becoming perhaps the most valuable resource of all, but along with authority, comes the acceptance of tough decisions. In a tight spot, the gamer may be faced with sacrificing one of his key colonists to ensure the safety of his entire crew.
With a variety of alien environments to explore, and the learning curve for each requiring the player to adapt to their unique properties, such as heavy gravitational fields, hull-eating atmospheres and technology jamming ionic fields, the gamer’s abilities will be challenged and pushed to the limit. Added to these inherent geographical traps, New Worlds will also let the player’s crew do battle with a terrifying new alien race from Alpha Quadrants past. Will they help the player discover the apocalyptic secret behind the Neutral Zone known as the Black Nebula?
