    "Absolutely great! SFC has been our baby since 1998 - it hard to believe that we have been working on SFC for over four years, shipping over 600,000 units world-wide with three major releases and several minor releases. We are very excited about showing what we are capable of in the Next Generation setting."

    ...That leaves Activision, a company that now has the entire set of Star Trek playing cards under its belt. Whatever it wants to do, it can do. And it wants to do Starfleet Command III.
    "To hell with the Original Series," the company said. "Let's take it to the Next Generation."

    "Fundamentally, the people at Taldren have given themselves the freedom to break with the strict ruleset of the tabletop game and allow fun to trump faithful reproduction of the classic game."

    "You have six different officers; Security, Medical, Engineer, Tactical, Helm, Science. Each of these officer have names (you can re-name them) and each of them has their own stats like intelligence and toughness. The intelligence stat governs who quickly the officer will learn his sub-skills (each officer has 18 sub-skills)."

    Interview with Dan Hagerty Kim J. Koops August 8, 2002
    "We have done extensive work on the missions in order to make them as compelling as possible. Paramount graciously granted us access to a draft of the script for Nemesis, and we were able to add some subtle foreshadowing and allusions to the events of the movie in our game. Those that see the movie and play the game will be able to recognize some of the references we make in some of the campaigns. "

    Racial Profile- Romulan Taldren October26, 2002
    "The Romulan Empire relies more on stealth and subterfuge than overt military action, a tactic which has led to the development of the cloaking device and the formation of the Tal Shiar, the special intelligence branch of the Romulan military."

    "The Klingon Empire was founded by the legendary Kahless the Unforgettable after slaying the tyrant, Molor. The Empire was ruled by an emperor until 2069, when the Klingon High Council became so powerful that it took over the governing duties, ruling from the Great Hall on the Klingon homeworld, Qo'noS."

    Racial Profile- Borg Taldren Nov 09, 2002
    "Borg ships are extremely powerful; one cube is more than a match for an entire fleet of Federation vessels. When it comes to tactics and strategy, however, the Borg usually take the direct approach, heading directly toward their target and firing whenever they have the opportunity."

    "With an immersive storyline and gameplay that's firmly rooted in the Trek universe, tactical depth and an elegant interface, perhaps Starfleet Command III will be able to boldly go where few developers have gone before. To succeed in pleasing the hardcore fans and also appealing to the more mainstream gamers who just want a great game."
