History YMMV / StarTrek25thAnniversary

** [[InsaneAdmiral Admiral Vlict Kenka]] is the governor of the Klingon colony Hrakkour. After a powerful being known as [[FeatheredSerpent Quetzalcoatl]] comes to Hrakkour and starts spreading a pacifistic philosophy among the population, Vlict feels that the Klingons on Hrakkour have been corrupted by outside ideas and [[WhereIWasBornAndRazed orders everyone on Hrakkour to be killed]], including his own family. Realizing he has gone far beyond his orders to deal with the situation and wanting to avoid punishment from the Klingon High Council for his genocidal crimes, Vlict [[NeverMyFault blames Quetzalcoatl]] for the destruction of Hrakkou and puts him [[KangarooCourt on trial]]. After Kirk demands Quetzalcoatl a fair trial and personally offers to go through some tests in an effort to defend Quetzalcoatl, Vlict designed the tests to kill Kirk and his crewmen. If done right, Vlict gets his ass handed back to him by a sapient AI system, [[BenevolentPrecursors from a previous long-dead civilization]], below the surface of the planet. Also, depending on how you converse with this AI, Vlict is either forced to release Quetzalcoatl, or gets outright executed for his crimes. (Although the crew, and by extension, the player, doesn't see this.)

** [[MadScientist Dr. Ies Breddell]] was once part of the science council of Vardaine, a Federation colony, who held a grudge against Kirk since the day Kirk foiled Breddell's attempt to take over Vardaine. Joining a xenophobic anti-Federation movement on Vardaine and begining an operation to secretly construct starships modeled after the Federation star ships, Breddell creates [[EvilKnockoff his own version of the Enterprise]] and uses it to launch sneak attacks on Federation ships. Leading the fake Enterprise to attack the USS Republic and kill everyone on board, Breddell was seemengly killed in the battle against the real Enterprise. However, in the sequel ''VideoGame/JudgmentRites'', it is revealed that he survived having been transported by a cloaked ship at the last moment. Even more obsessed with [[RevengeBeforeReason revenge]] after another defeat at Kirk's hands, Breddell secretly takes over a Federation space station studying a powerful anomaly. Creating a powerful weapon that uses the power of the anomaly, Breddell used it to [[EarthShatteringKaboom destroy Earth]], but the explosion causes a Federation ship to travel back in time and warn Kirk about this weapon right before the ship explodes, allowing Kirk to stop Breddell before he would have used his weapon.

** Though most [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Klingons]] have a code of honor that makes them sympathetic, [[InsaneAdmiral Admiral Vlict Kenka]] takes his to [[KnightTemplar a terrifying extreme]]. Vlict was the governor of the Klingon colony Hrakkour . A powerful being known as Quetzalcoatl comes to Hrakkour and starts spreading a pacifistic philosophy among the population. Feeling that the Klingons on Hrakkour have been corrupted by outside ideas, Vlict orders everyone on Hrakkour to be killed, including his own family. Realizing he has gone far beyond his orders to deal with the situation and wanting to avoid punishment from the Klingon High Council for his genocidal crimes, Vlict [[NeverMyFault blames Quetzalcoatl]] for the destruction of Hrakkou and puts him on [[KangarooCourt trial]]. Kirk demands Quetzalcoatl be treated fairly by the trial and personally offers to go through some tests to prove his own worthiness as a warrior, in an effort to defend Quetzalcoatl. However Kirk soon discovers that these tests are designed to kill Kirk and his crewmen, so that Vlict will no longer have to deal with Kirk's inference.
** [[MadScientist Dr. Ies Breddell]] was once part of the science council of Vardaine, a Federation colony. A young Kirk foils Breddell's plan to take over Vardaine and he has held a grudge against him ever since. A decade later Breddell has joined an xenophobic anti-Federation movement on Vardaine and begins an operation to secretly construct starships modeled after the Federation star ships. Breddell creates his own version of the [[EvilKnockOff Enterprise]] and uses it launch sneak attacks on Federation ships. The fake Enterprise attacks the USS Republic and kills everyone on board. After the real Enterprise defeats the fake Enterprise, Breddell is seemingly killed. However, in the sequel ''VideoGame/JudgmentRites'', it is revealed that he survived having been transported by a cloaked ship at the last moment. Even more obsessed with [[RevengeBeforeReason revenge]] after another defeat at Kirk's hands, Breddell secretly takes over a Federation space station studying a powerful anomaly. Breddell creates a powerful weapon that uses the power of the anomaly and plans to use it to [[EarthShatteringKaboom destroy Earth]]. Breddell succeeds, but the explosion causes a Federation ship to travel back in time and warn Kirk about this weapon right before the ship explodes. After traveling to the space station and confronting Breddell, Breddell uses FantasticRacism to justify his actions. When Kirk tries to use [[KirkSummation moral arguments]] against Breddell, Breddell states [[TheSocialDarwinist morality is concept invented by the weak to prevent the strong dominating them]] and thus [[VirtueIsWeakness sees morality as a worthless concept]].

* NoProblemWithLicensedGames: This game considered one of the best ''Franchise/StarTrek'' games produced, and remains very faithful to the original series.

* TheProblemWithLicensedGames: [[SugarWiki/NoProblemWithLicensedGames Solidly averted]] - it's considered one of the best ''Franchise/StarTrek'' games produced, and remains very faithful to the original series.

* AndTheFandomRejoiced: The disc version of the game went to great lengths to capture the individual "voice" of each character in its dialogue, even though it only featured written text. The addition of the entire original series cast reprising their roles for the CD-ROM edition was the icing on the cake, and it was a ''huge'' motivation for the fans to buy it again on the new technology. These days, the involvement of the full cast would be pretty much taken as read, but back then it was seen a real novelty.

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: On one mission, you can dose Spock with Vulcan laughing gas. He'll spend the rest of the mission randomly yelling stuff like, "who gave me this lousy haircut?!"
** Spock, heck. You can dose Kirk, [=McCoy=] and the RedShirt with laughing gas, and get similar reactions from them.
*** [=McCoy=] has [[ICantUseTheseThingsTogether the best lines for doing insane things]]. There's one situation where you have to [[DontAsk pick up a snake]] without it slithering back into its burrow. [=McCoy=] is the only one who won't do it.
-->'''[=McCoy=]:''' It's a damn snake! I'm not picking it up!
-->'''[=McCoy=]:''' ''(If you try to make him look inside the snake's burrow)'' I'm not sticking my hand in there!
-->'''[=McCoy=]:''' ''(If you have captured the snake and have it highlighted and click on [=McCoy=] with it)'' Get that thing ''away'' from me!
*** If you click on Kirk with the snake after capturing it, the narrator informs you that the snake enjoys biting your hand.

** Spock, heck. You can dose Kirk, McCoy and the RedShirt with laughing gas, and get similar reactions from them.
