How it plays

The store calls it the first outpost builder set in the Star Trek universe. You research technology and building trees, choose which structures to place, manage resource chains and keep your crew's morale up through dangerous encounters. The story is original and runs alongside the era of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.
