Star Trek : Armada Star Trek : Armada is a real - time strategy ( RTS ) game published by Activision in . The game can be played either as a single - player campaign , or in a multi - player internet combat mode . In either mode , the player ( s ) build and maintain fleets and stations of one of four races : Federation , Klingon , Romulan , and Borg . The single - player mode is story - driven : the player has a series of objectives to complete twenty missions , in an interwoven storyline covering all four races . One main complaint about " Armada " was that each race could only build six types of starship s and two construction / collection ships , and that each race ' s ships were essentially the same ship with different sprites thus giving no race an advantage over the other . Fans dealt with these problems by creating a series of game modifications , or " mods " that ranged from cosmetic changes , to completely new games using the " Star Trek : Armada " engine . Featured starship classes . " These classes are stock with the game . This list does not include user - made ships . All stats and weapons are those used in the game , and are not canon . The only ones photographed are those that do not have a canon counterpart . " United Federation of Planets starships . " Venture " - class . The " Venture " is one of the newest additions to Starfleet ' s armada , with production beginning in 2374 . It is a lightly - armored , highly - maneuverable scout vessel capable of deep space as well as atmospheric flight . The " Venture " - class ship has limited space , restricting a large crew complement . The vessel is primarily designed for reconnaissance and short - range exploration . It is equipped with a forward firing pulse phaser , should it need to engage in combat . Initially designed as an escort vessel , the " Defiant " - class began development in 2366 with the explicit intent of defending the Federation against the Borg . Since their initial production run , the " Defiant " has quickly filled the ranks of the Federation fleet and is now one of its most abundant starships . Each " Defiant " is outfitted with two forward - firing pulse phasers fitted onto their bow , allowing them to unleash a barrage of firepower at any opponent they face . ( non - buildable ) " Premonition " - class . USS " Premonition " ( NX - 80189 ) . The " Premonition " was constructed in the year 2382 , during an alternate timeline in which the Borg succeeded in invading and assimilating the majority of Starfleet , the Federation , the Klingon Empire , and the Romulan Empire . It was under the command of Captain Thaddeus Demming . The " Premonition " was originally conceived as a temporal research vessel , and served as a testbed for the advanced temporal drive research being done at the top secret Manheim Temporal Research Facility . However , with the Borg invasion and the assimilation of several key planets including , Bajor , Qo ' noS , and Earth , the remnants of Starfleet turned the ship into a full scale battleship . The " Premonition " was launched in 2382 , and immediately used its temporal drive to travel back to the year 2376 , two days before the start of the Borg invasion of the Alpha Quadrant . In one timeline , the Borg managed to assimilate Earth , despite the interference of the " Premonition " . However , the ship used its temporal vortex generator to send the back in time to stop the Borg shortly before its destruction . Thanks to the assistance of the " Premonition " and the " Enterprise " - E , Starfleet was eventually able to stop the Borg from conquering the Federation and further altering the timeline in favor of the Federation . Following the Borg withdrawal , the " Premonition " returned to the future and its status is unknown . Temporal Research Facility . The Temporal Research Facility was a weapon station constructed by the Federation . It projected a temporal stasis field over an area of space , freezing any enemy targets caught within . Allied ships were unaffected and left free to fire on their disabled enemies for the duration of the effect . While caught in the field , allied ships can attack those same ships or use special powers without the fear of retaliation . Once the effect wears off , any ship that is destroyed will explode while any ship that were not , will be able to be controlled . ( just called " Warbird " class in game ) Transwarp gate . The transwarp gate is a weapon station constructed by the Borg . It creates a two - way transwarp conduit that allows fleets of vessels to travel instantaneously through the gate to any explored location on the game map . It works similarly to a wormhole , except that it is under the control of the player and is only active for a short time . Construction ship . This is a ship used by all playable races to construct all installations . They ' re constructed at the starbase . When the game starts , the player gets one starbase and / or one or two construction ships . Setting . The game takes place on and around stardate 53550 ( as well as a brief interlude into 2364 ) , just after the end of the Dominion War . Relations between the allies have deteriorated slightly , with the Romulans and the Klingons once again in dispute . Single - player campaign . Federation campaign . Premonitions . The USS " Enterprise " - E , accompanied by two " Akira " - class ships , must eliminate rogue Jem ' Hadar attack ship s in the sector , in order to secure colonization efforts . A construction ship is also present to build a permanent outpost in the system . Once all Dominion ships are destroyed , a temporal vortex is detected , and a Starfleet vessel emerges , pursued by two Borg sphere s . Picard recognizes it , like he has seen it before . The vessel identifies itself as the USS " Premonition " , and its CO , Captain Thaddeus Demming , informs Captain Picard that a major Borg invasion is imminent . Within the hour , a force of Borg ships will attack and destroy the nearby Starbase 612 , the first step to the assimilation of the Alpha Quadrant . " Paradise Revisited " . Ambassador Worf , on temporary assignment to the Ba ' ku settlement , and commanding the USS " Avenger " , must eliminate a force of Son ' a warships intent on reclaiming the planet . He receives word of the Borg invasion , and heads to Qo ' noS to gain reinforcement . " Vendetta " . en route to Qo ' noS , Worf is ambushed by Toral , and a small force of Klingon warships . Outgunned , he must traverse the Ikolis Expanse , a hazardous region of space , to escape , salvaging derelict vessels and even a Federation Starbase and Shipyard to assist along the way . In order to prevent Toral seizing the Klingon throne , Worf takes the " Avenger " to the location of the Sword of Kahless . " Dark Omens " . The " Enterprise " arrives at Starbase 612 , only to find its defense fleet in ruins and most of the station ' s facilities heavily damaged . The player must salvage as many ships as possible , and bring local stations back on - line in order to repel a second wave of attack , including an assault by assimilated Starfleet vessels , and eliminate the local Borg base . Klingon campaign . " To the Gates of Sto ' vo ' kor " . The Borg have struck at Klingon territory as well . Chancellor Martok must lead an assault on a Borg force attacking the Gamma Eridon sector . Once the Borg have been eliminated , Martok heads for his command base to find out why expected reinforcements did not appear . " The Enemy Within " . Having escaped from Worf in " Vendetta " , Toral has assembled a formidable fleet , and launches an assault on Martok ' s starbase . The base must be held until the " Avenger " arrives , when Martok evacuates to the " Defiant " - class vessel , and leaves the sector , bound for Qo ' noS , to present the Sword of Kahless to the Klingon High Council . " A Good Day to Die " . Qo ' noS is embroiled in conflict as Martok arrives aboard the " Avenger " . Worf ' s vessel is refitted with a cloaking device , and dispatched to trail Toral . Martok must attack and destroy Toral ' s main base . Toral manages to escape the attack , with Worf in hot pursuit . . . " Gray Eminence " . Continuing from the end of " A Good Day to Die " , Toral escapes to a Romulan base near the border . Martok ' s fleet follows behind , and launches an assault to clear the sector of all Romulan presence . With Toral and the Romulans routed , Martok announces that this is only the beginning of a larger war with the Romulans . Romulan campaign . " Cloak and Dagger " . " " Admiral Sela ' s Personal Log : Our Alliance with Toral in this Klingon war is proving to be more trouble than its worth . During the last Klingon raid one of our top scientists , Dr . Oldan , was captured . Oldan was working on the Phoenix Project . I have enlisted the help of one of the Tal Shiar ' s top operatives to help get him back " " The new war with the Klingons is proving costly for the Star Empire . Admiral Sela is dispatched into Klingon space to rescue a noted Romulan scientist , Dr . Oldan , from a prison in the Krios system . Following the successful destruction of the prison , and the recovery of Dr . Oldan , Sela is called to the Neutral Zone by order of the Tal Shiar . " A Call to Power " . " " Admiral Sela ' s Personal log ; I have been summoned to this remote Starbase on the fringe of Cardassian space by an agent of the Tal Shiar , the Romulan secret police . Though I have no idea what this clandestine group wants with me , dealing with the Tal Shiar is often as unpleasant as it is perilous " " A Tal Shiar operative , Jal ' par , informs Sela that a group of Ferengi vessels have discovered the Omega particle in a remote corner of space . The Ferengi , unaware of the value of their discovery , are preparing to sell it to the Cardassians . Sela must intercept the trade , and seize Omega for their own uses . The Ferengi are easily bought off , and the Cardassians are eliminated . As the specially constructed containment vessel retrieves the particle , Borg transwarp signatures are detected , and the fleet heads for Romulus . " The Gauntlet " . " " Admiral Sela ' s Personal Log ; with the sudden arrival of the Borg , we have had to evacuate our base sooner than I ' d hoped . The Collective is relentless in their pursuit , more and more transwarp signatures continue to come into sensor range . So far , we have managed to stay one step ahead of them , but it is meant altering our course away from Romulus and into Klingon space " " With the Borg in pursuit , Sela ' s fleet must negotiate the sector to reach a Romulan starbase beyond a wormhole at its edge . The Klingons are also in the sector , and Sela ' s fleet is too small and too vulnerable to take on a large force . The containment vessel is taken through the wormhole , and Jal ' par remains behind to deal with the Borg threat . " Unholy Alliances " . " " Admiral Sela ' s Personal Log ; the Omega Particle has been safely hidden at our Romulan base behind the wormhole . With the Federation requesting peace negotiations between the Romulans and Klingons , I ' ve find it necessary to tie up some , ' loose ends ' . " " Sela negotiates a temporary alliance with the Borg . In exchange for eliminating Toral ' s base , the Romulans will give Omega to the Collective . The Klingon presence is formidable , and includes several " Jach ' eng " - class weapons . Once the Klingon threat is eliminated , Sela reneges on the deal , and a vast cloaked fleet attacks and destroys the Borg base . With their links to Toral severed , and the Borg threat temporarily subdued , and the Omega particle secured , the Romulans can begin negotiations to end the war with the Klingons . Borg campaign . " Resurrection " . Having failed in acquiring the Omega particle from the Romulans , the Collective attacks a Dominion base so as to assimilate a Dominion cloning facility to create a clone of Jean - Luc Picard . Locutus is directed to acquire the Omega particle ( which the Borg designate " Particle 010 " ) at all costs . " Assimilation " . The Borg have assimilated Jal ' par , and learned the location of the Romulan starbase which is the temporary home of the Omega particle . With limited resources , the Borg must assimilate nearby vessels and starbases to gain enough ships to successfully capture the base . The Borg discover that the Federation is arranging a conference between the Romulans and the Klingons . Such an alliance would jeopardize the Collective ' s goals , and Locutus dispatches a vessel to intercept the Federation ' s ambassador , Spock , before he reaches the conference . " Extermination " . Establishing a staging ground for the construction of a in the Pleiades Cluster – to return Omega to Unimatrix 001 – the Collective encounters a space - dwelling lifeform , Species 9341 , whose energy attacks drain crew from ships and stations . Species 9341 were deemed to be unsuitable for assimilation , therefore the sector must be cleansed of the species ' presence . Since standard weapons are ineffective against the mother creatures , the Borg diamond ' s ultritium burst weapon must be developed and deployed . With the gate constructed , and Omega returned to the Delta Quadrant , Locutus is given a new objective : assimilate Earth . " The Twilight Hour " . The Borg fleet has arrived in Sector 001 , destroying the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards . The Federation fleet has pulled back into Earth orbit for a last stand , and Locutus confronts Picard . " " Resistance is , and always has been , futile " " he says , revealing that the Federation ' s attempt to orchestrate peace between the Romulans and Klingons has failed – Spock has been assimilated . The Federation stands alone . Hopelessly outnumbered , the Federation fleet falls to the Borg advance . The " Avenger " is destroyed , the " Enterprise " escapes through a temporal vortex created by the " Premonition " , and the assimilation of Earth begins . . . Omega campaign . Note : This campaign is only accessible after all other campaigns have been completed . " Once and Again " . As the Federation loses the battle for Earth , the " Premonition " opens a temporal vortex . The " Enterprise " travels back in time , arriving near the Romulan - Klingon border just in time to prevent the attack on Spock ' s vessel . With the Borg converging on the area , the " Enterprise " and the escort fleet must get Spock to the conference intact . " A Line in the Sand " . " The Twilight Hour " from the Federation ' s perspective . This time , however , the peace conference has succeeded , and the time - traveling " Enterprise " arrives with a combined Romulan and Klingon fleet . The original " Enterprise " travels back via the " Premonition " s temporal vortex to complete the causality loop . With the additional reinforcement , the Borg attack is repulsed and their Terran System base is destroyed . Locutus escapes via a transwarp gate , and the combined fleet pursues in standard warp . " The Alpha and the Omega , Part I " . The Borg transwarp signatures have been tracked to their primary base in the Alpha Quadrant , the Pleiades Cluster ( from " Extermination " ) . In order to completely wipe out the Borg threat , the transwarp gate must be captured , so that the fleet can trace the Borg fleet back to the Delta Quadrant , and destroy the Omega particle . " The Alpha and the Omega , Part II " . The combined fleet uses the transwarp gate to journey into the heart of Borg space . A feint attack is quickly repelled by the Borg , but Worf in the " Avenger " and a small Klingon / Romulan fleet uses the diversion to sneak into the Unimatrix under cloak . A new transwarp gate is built using a captured Borg construction vessel , and the rest of the fleet jumps in . The Borg unimatrix and the Omega containment facility are attacked and destroyed , as is the cloned Locutus . At the last minute , the Collective dispatches a single Borg sphere back to 2364 , destroying the just after , thus erasing the victory . The " Premonition " , protected from the changes in the timeline , travels back to eliminate the sphere ( this provides a reference to an earlier comment by Picard in " Premonitions " – where he states he has seen the " Premonition " before ) . Multiplayer mode . In multiplayer mode , the aim is to be the last player standing . Each player can choose one of the four races , and must build up a fleet to eliminate the other players . Play is possible over local area networks or over the internet via WON ( World Opponent Network ) servers . These servers are now being run by Vivendi Universal only until the demand for the game drops or people stop emailing them when the servers go down . The vessels and resources available can vary according to the settings used . Instant Action . Instant Action is the single - player equivalent of multiplayer mode – the additional players controlled by computer . The player can make his or her own ships as they go along . To use another civilization ' s technologies , capture a construction ship and / or an enemy starbase . Example : A Federation player has captured a Borg " Assembler " . That player uses it to construct all Borg facilities , including a transwarp gate . Easter eggs . Press " Enter " , type " showmethemoney " , press " Enter " to add 2 , 000 units of dilithium to your inventories . Since the code is repeatable , a large amount of dilithium can be received in seconds . Dilithium is what the players use to build their bases , ships , research technologies , etc . in this game .
