It's true that Star Trek has its share of action, especially among its film offerings. When Star Trek gets the video game treatment, the focus tends to be on all the stuff, like ships and phasers, and the battles they enable. As you join the diplomatic delegation, which includes the legendary Ambassador Spock, though, you become aware of competing interests: namely, the Federation's need to keep the dilithium flowing to fuel its ships.
