  • Summary: Activision, Inc. imposes order on the universe with the announcement of Star Trek Borg Assimilator, the first world building sim set in the Star Trek universe. The game is being developed by Cyberlore Studios, the team responsible for the highly acclaimed Majesty and the Warcraft II missionActivision, Inc. imposes order on the universe with the announcement of Star Trek Borg Assimilator, the first world building sim set in the Star Trek universe. The game is being developed by Cyberlore Studios, the team responsible for the highly acclaimed Majesty and the Warcraft II mission pack Beyond the Dark Portal, and will be available in the winter of 2001 for the PC.

    For the first time ever, players can conquer, assimilate and construct as the Borg. In the game, players must absorb the distinctiveness of alien races such as Romulans, Klingons and Federation humans to strengthen the collective, and to acquire new technology and resources. Lush meadows and rolling hills will be converted into a Borg nanogrid and assimilation chambers as players absorb their surroundings to feed the collective.

    Star Trek Borg Assimilator features a 12 level campaign mode where players are faced with assimilating races with progressively higher resistance quotients. The over-arching goal of the campaign is to assimilate a series of worlds and acquire the technology needed to develop a stable Omega particle.

    At the beginning of each level, players start with an existing colony structure that consists of a nanogrid generator, an ore refinery, and several drones. Through conquest and assimilation, players can gain access to more advanced buildings such as regeneration alcoves, research centers, and the Borg Queen hive. Once players complete the campaign, they can continue with their assimilation of the Alpha quadrant in Freestyle mode. In Freestyle, gamers can modify parameters such as start pieces, native inhabitants, objectives, difficulty settings and even terrain for an endless combination of scenarios.

    Resistance is futile!
