The is a total of 56 video game titles in the Star Trek series which are weakly connected with each other so Online may be considered as a standalone episode.

There is a total of four free add-ons — each of them added fractions, maps, and story arcs, pushing the story forward and connecting it to the 2002 film and the other fragments of the franchise. ###Gameplay The players are taking the role of the spaceship operator.

There is also a time-management feature to this game: not all processes are executed, so the player has to control his resources and account factor carefully to maximize the profits. The game transferred to the free-to-play model shortly after its release. Five years afterward it was remastered already in F2P model.
