In the Star Trek: Voyager Elite Force first-person-shooter games, players take the role of Ensign Munro, second in command of Voyager's elite Hazard Team security force. Over the course of the campaign players will battle the cybernetic Borg, deadly Klingons and alien pirates as they attempt to free U.S.S. Voyager from a mysterious void in space.

In the real-time strategy games Star Trek Armada and Star Trek Armada II, players must manage resources and construction to create massive battlefleets of Federation, Borg, Romulan and Klingon ships. Functioning as the fleet's admiral, players must restore balance to the alpha quadrant over the course of race-specific campaigns set in the depths of space.

The Star Trek Action Pack also offers gamers a sneak peak at two upcoming titles in the form of trailers for Star Trek Starfleet Command® III and Star Trek® Elite Force II™.
