Developer & Publisher : 14 Degrees East
Genre : Simulation
Thegame begins with an opening cinematic depicting General Changs
defeatof Kalnors coup, by challenging him to a blood duel that will
settle thematter in personal combat. Chang loses an eye to Kalnor before
killinghim, explaining his eyepatch in his motion picture appearance.
Thenarrative then continues with cadet Torlek, who reflects upon
hisinvitation to the Elite Command Academy and his desire to honor
hisfather through his success, as the first class begins. General
Changbegins each session with a personal address to his students,
explainingthe natures of honor, loyalty, duty, and how a warrior may
live by thesevirtues in combat, before continuing onto the days strategy
lesson andmission briefing.
The Academy term consists entirely of
ahypothetical war with the Federation. Starting with a blitzkrieg,
thewar shifts deeper into Federation space, leaving behind many a
failedAcademy cadet. Torlek exhibits exceptional leadership skills
andtactical acumen during these trials, all within the overall strategy
ofexploiting the weaknesses inherent in the Federations greatest
strengthdiplomacy which renders the enemy a brittle unity in Changs
eyes. Healso proves his loyalty and reliability to Chang during two real
worldespionage missions against Kalnors half brother Melkor. During
onesimulation, a Klingon version of Starfleet Academys Kobayashi
Maruscenario tests Torleks resolve in the face of a situation where
eitherduty or honor can prevail, but not both. Ultimately, his
conviction inhis decision earns high praise from Chang. Another trial
pits himagainst a simulation of Captain Sulu (voiced by George Takei)
aboard theUSS Excelsior, and his performance against the famed Starfleet
officeris commendable. The war ends on Earths doorstep, as the
Federationsresponse to the diversionary blitzkrieg and to its diplomatic
weaknessleads to conflict within the Sol system itself and the
unleashing ofone of humanitys greatest scientific achievements (Project
Genesis) ofmass destruction on Earth itself. During this final
simulation, Torlekdestroys the Starship Enterprise under James T. Kirks
command, anincredible accomplishment even in a training scenario. Torlek
graduatesfrom the Elite Command Academy with top honors, but is not
assigned acommand as his fellow cadets have been.Just as the Academy termends, Chancellor Lorak dies. Gorkon, at this time Chief of Staff and thelegitimate successor to the chancellorship, is blocked by Melkor, whogathers a large fleet and plunges the Empire into a civil war that noneother before or after in Klingon history was as devastating in hisattempt to resurrect the long defunct Emperorship. Gorkons pacifistleanings are well known and General Chang, believing a war with theFederation to be inevitable, refuses to back him. Chang recruits alliesof his own to become a small but formidable third faction in the civilwar, including Academy instructor Thok Mak (as his Theater OperationsController). As the greatest and most trusted student of the recent term(and, later on, the finest one ever taught by the General), Torlek isalso recruited by Chang to be a senior field captain.
