Star Trek: Klingon Academy

Star Trek: Klingon Academy is a space combat simulation and the a sequel to Starfleet Academy. It is set directly before Star Trek VI - The Undiscovered Country in 2291. It was developed by 14 Degrees East, a in house team of Interplay Entertainment. In the game you play Torlek, a young cadet. As the story progresses, you graduate under General Chang who later leads you into a Klingon civil war and much more...

The game puts you in command of multiple Klingon warships. As such you have to manage the crew, set priorities for the repairs and power allocation. In contrast to it's predecessor the ship control is more complex and tactical. Most of your battle are in deep space, but you can hide inside a nebula, use the atmosphere of a planet against your enemy or race them into a asteroid belt. The game also includes 90 minutes of live action film, featuring Christopher Plummer and David Warner in same roles as in the movie. Beside the singleplayer you can also play custom skirmishes in a battle simulator or fight other players in multiplayer.

Where can I get it?
After the bankruptcy of Interplay in 2004 the licence of the game is in a state of limbo. You only can hope that one day, they will make it possible that GOG/Steam can re-release the game. But for now, your only option are to buy a copy on Ebay, Amazon or get lucky during a garage sale.

How can I install it on Windows 10?
Alternative you can use the Combined Patch (1.02r7), which includes all of the above patches and fixes.
 * 1) Install Klingon Academy your CD
 * 2) Install 1.02 Patch (US) / 1.02 patch (UK)

Multiplayer after 2014?
Klingon Academy is another victim of the Gamespy shutdown. Which means you have to use again a VPN-client like Radmin VPN or Zerotier.
