''Star Trek: Armada'' is a real-time strategy game published in 2000 by Activision. The game's look and feel is based primarily on ''Star Trek: The Next Generation'', and features a few of its main characters and ships. Playable factions include the United Federation of Planets, the Klingon Empire, the Romulan Star Empire and the Borg. The game received mixed to positive reviews and was noted for being one of the better ''Star Trek'' games to be made. A sequel, ''Star Trek: Armada II'', was released on November 16, 2001. In a cross-promotion with the ''Star Trek Customizable Card Game'', an initial run of ''Armada'' boxes contained an exclusive playable card, the ''U.S.S. Jupiter''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 USS Jupiter Star Trek Card )〕 ==Plot== The storyline references several media in the ''Star Trek'' universe, incorporating plot elements from television shows ''Star Trek: Deep Space Nine'' and ''Star Trek: The Next Generation'' as well as the then-recently released film ''Star Trek: Insurrection''. Following the Dominion War, the Federation turns to rebuilding. However, a Federation timeship, the USS ''Premonition'', suddenly appears from the future, under attack by the Borg. Captain Jean-Luc Picard, commanding the USS ''Enterprise''-E, comes to its aid. The ''Premonition''s captain, Thaddeus Demming, warns Picard of an upcoming Borg invasion. Picard then repels an initial Borg attack on a Federation outpost. Elsewhere, Commander Worf assists in the defense of the Ba'ku homeworld from the Son'a, after which he is informed of the ''Enterprises discovery. While traveling through a hazardous sector of space on his way back to Qo'nos, he is ambushed by his old enemy, Toral, who plans to use a fake Sword of Kahless to take over the Klingon Empire. Toral ambushes Chancellor Martok following another Borg incursion, and another Klingon civil war ensues. After a climactic battle over the Klingon homeworld, Toral is defeated. He retreats to the Neutral Zone, revealing that he was getting assistance from the Romulan Star Empire. Hostilities ensue between the Klingons and the Romulans. The Romulans, in the meantime, come across a stable Omega Particle, a source of nearly limitless power. The particle, discovered first by a Ferengi mining guild, is about to be sold to the Cardassians; the Tal Shiar sends Admiral Sela to secure it before that happens. Sela captures the Omega Particle and, despite some Borg interference, delivers it to a fortified Romulan base. She then allies with the Borg promising the particle after they destroy Toral's remaining forces, but she then betrays and attacks them after Toral is defeated. The Borg, wanting to secure the particle at all costs, assimilate a Dominion cloning facility and use it to clone Locutus, the former title of Jean-Luc Picard when he was assimilated. With Locutus leading their armada, the Borg take the Omega Particle from the Romulans and assimilate Ambassador Spock, who is trying to mediate between the Klingons and Romulans. Without him, the two empires go to war, and the Borg are able to enter the solar system. Locutus and his armada defeat the Federation fleet, kill Worf and Demming, and assimilate Earth. However, Picard and the ''Enterprise'' manage to escape through a temporal vortex created by the ''Premonition''. Going back in time, the ''Enterprise'' prevents Spock's assimilation. Picard and Spock are able to forge an alliance among the Romulans and the Klingons, and together the three governments repel the invasion of Earth. The unified Klingon, Romulan and Federation forces push the Borg out of the Alpha Quadrant and capture a Transwarp Gate which they take to Unimatrix One, at the heart of the Borg Collective. There, they discover the Omega Particle is fueling the Borg war machine. The combined force destroys the Omega Particle, but Locutus travels back in time before he can be defeated. Back in time, Locutus, in a Borg Sphere, tries to kill Picard aboard the USS ''Enterprise''-D shortly after the Farpoint mission. However, Locutus is thwarted by the USS ''Premonition'' which, unaffected by the changes to the timeline, pursues Locutus back in time and destroys his ship. When a battle-weary ''Premonition'' returns to the "present" and witnesses that all has returned to normal, Demming sends the ship and crew home to a brighter future. The game ends with a final log entry from Picard, noting the departure of the ''Premonition'', as well as the potential disintegration of the Klingon-Romulan alliance, though Picard notes that 'whether the peace will last or not, only time will tell'. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Star Trek: Armada」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
