Star Trek: Starfleet Command - Orion Pirates

Star Trek: Starfleet Command – Orion Pirates is a computer game, the expansion to Star Trek: Starfleet Command II - Empires at War. It is a strategy based game involving thought and tactical maneuvers. The play takes command of one of the eight star empires from the original game, or one of the newly created Orion Pirates. During game play, the players controls various ships and their systems while going into combat against enemy vessels. It had originally been intended to be released as an expansion pack for Empires at War, but the decision was made to release it as a standalone product. As such, it was one of Interplay's last Star Trek games.
==Story==
The story of Orion Pirates mainly revolves around the eight cartels for which the game is named. The 8 existing empires do not have a new story line, just a generic campaign in which they fight each other and the 8 cartels. The cartels however, do have a story campaign which delves into relations between the cartels, as well as touching on a few events from Empires at War.
