Star Fleet Battles

Command individual starships from opposing interstellar fleets in tactical, turn-based combat set in the original series-era universe. Players allocate energy and plot movement for their ships, then execute simultaneous movement while resolving weapon fire, shields, armor, and system damage during the turn. Ships field era-specific armaments such as phasers/disruptors, photon and plasma torpedoes, tractor beams, and homing drone weapons. Damage to shields and armor degrades named ship systems, which can cripple propulsion, weapons, or other functions and ultimately sink vessels. The game includes multiple scenarios that recreate classic engagements and supports solo play.
