The Federation and, especially Captain Pickard as well as all those residing here are faced with a Borg invasion. Matters are complicated by Toral who seeks the throne of the Klingon Empire. Whorf sides with Chancellor Martok and vows to bring an end to the madness. Meanwhile, the Romulan are researching a stable Omega particle which would enable them to deal with the Borg.

Armada is a real-time strategy game in an outer space setting.
The game environment is by no means the same as that which can be found in StarCraft. The gameplay, however, is comparable to it, as well as other strategy games. The principle is basically to gather resources, construct various buildings and ships, and amass an armada to crush your enemies. The only resource that is needed is dilithium, which is collected from small moons by your freighters. This mineral enables you to erect numerous structures.
