Star Trek: Conquest Ships Today

Star Trek: Conquest, Bethesda Softworks' new action-strategy title, is shipping today to retail outlets across North America, and will be on shelves as early as tomorrow.

Set in the Next Generation universe, the game will give players control of Federation, Klingon, Romulan, Cardassian, Dominion and Breen forces as they struggle for domination of the galaxy in both turn-based strategy and real-time combat. Players will manage limited resources, control space fleets on a large galactic map, research new technologies and ultimately engage their enemies in interstellar combat.

The game utilizes a ship-level tactical view in battle, with the Wii version of the game using the Wii Nunchuk for starship maneuvers while aiming and firing with the Wii Remote. Star Trek: Conquest is rated E (Everyone) by the ESRB, and is being released for the Nintendo Wii and PlayStation 2 systems. More information is available at startrek.bethsoft.com.
