From the inside cover left flap:

Starfleet Command is a true starship simulation
These are monstrous vessels, equipped with dozens of weapons and systems. Maneuver to keep your target within the arc of your weapons, but remember that these are massive ships and you will have to plan ahead. Use transporters, tractor beams, electronic warfare, marine boarding parties and sensors.

Between campaign missions...
Refit and repair your ships at Starbase. Recruit new officers or send your trainees back into the officer pool to earn additional prestige. Spacedock allows you to purchase additional shuttlecraft, marines, transporter bombs and more.

Command is a team effort.
Multiplayer supports up to 6 players via TCP/IP and IPX (Internet and LAN) or two players via modem or serial. Each player can control up to three ships. There are various multiplayer games and missions, both cooperative and competitive. Gang up on a computer controlled Starbase. Duke it out in a best two out of three. Or try your hand at a game of Tug of War.

The Dynaverse awaits.
The single-player dynamic campaign presents a fresh series of missions based on your performance and actions. A unique series of campaign missions for the Federation, Klingons, Romulans and Lyrans combine to tell the story of the missing Organians. There are over 100 missions that can be generated in thousands of different combinations. The galaxy is at war and you can make a difference.

Space is not completely empty.
Discover uncharted Nebulae, maneuver through dense asteroid fields and belts or battle at the fringe of a black hole. Flying close to a sun will test your shields and your ship. The different types of terrain require commanders to exercise additional caution and skill.

You are not alone.
In your missions, you may encounter Orion Pirates attempting to steal cargo or otherwise cause trouble. Freighter convoys require protection or plundering. Defensive satellites and battle stations orbit planets and moons. In the cold of space exist monsters of the most unusual kind.
