Star Trek Voyager: Across the Unknown is a story-driven survival strategy game in which the fate of the iconic starship is in your hands. Take the helm, manage the ship and resources, and make difficult decisions. Will you be able to bring home the ship and its crew?
“What if?” Scenarios
Did you ever wonder what would have happened had Captain Janeway decided differently? If an important crew member had followed a different path? Or what the outcome would have been had the crew of the U.S.S. Voyager embraced Borg technology to increase their chances of survival?
Wonder no more: Star Trek Voyager: Across the Unknown allows players to take control and shape the journey of the U.S.S. Voyager as they want. Take a risky approach or play it safe. Be diplomatic or let phasers do the talking. Research technologies that were shunned by the crew. But: Be prepared to deal with the consequences of your actions! The game features roguelike elements, so in each run you will encounter different situations and even iconic characters might meet an early end if you don’t react accordingly.
Deep Ship Management and Research
After being moved forcefully into the Delta Quadrant, the U.S.S. Voyager ends up heavily damaged and in dire need of repairs as well as internal reconstruction. Restore destroyed rooms, secure life support and energy supplies, and start constructing. Ship systems, crew quarters, industrial and research facilities: You must decide what to build and when, to ensure the ship has what it needs for the perilous journey.
Expedite research into different fields. New technologies and improved layouts will not only strengthen the ship but also boost your crew’s morale. Exotic and dangerous research, like the technology of the Borg, is also within your reach. As captain, will you embrace it for the potential it offers, or will you omit it for the dangers it presents?
Exploration and Resource Acquisition
The dangers and opportunities of the Delta Quadrant beckon to be discovered by you and your crew. Scan celestial bodies to locate precious resources that fuel your journey. Find points of interest and oddities along your way, but beware: While the Delta Quadrant may reward the bold, it punishes the careless just as quickly. As captain, you have the final say in plotting a course and defining an approach.
Ship Combat and Away Missions
The journey of the U.S.S. Voyager would not be possible without both combat between ships and away missions to planets or space facilities.
For away missions, put together a team based on the individual talents of your crew. A team with skills that complement each other might be best suited for the task, but it is up to you to call the shots. Minimize the risk for the team’s members, rush headlong into danger, or take a scientific approach—you decide.
When diplomacy fails, the U.S.S. Voyager and its crew are ready to enter ship combat at your command. From the bridge, you give commands for offensive and defensive maneuvers, targeting enemy ship systems and using special weaponry. And even during ship combat, the individual skills of your crew members come into play: Assign battle stations to crew who bring precious skills to the table and trigger them in crucial moments to maximize your combat effectiveness.

I'm so happy we're getting a proper new Trek game after so many years.
Looks interesting. Hopefully it turns out good. Whatever misgivings one might have with Voyager as a series, I did always appreciate the world building it did by introducing so many new species. Not just series mainstays like the Kazon, Vidiians, Hirogen, and Borg, but others like the Krenim and Voth. I hope some of those lesser-used aliens are more prominent in this game.
Also, I wonder if they'll give an in-story explanation for Voyager finding ways to increase its complement of photon torpedoes. It started the series with 38 of them yet somehow managed to fire like a hundred of them over the course the series.
Would much rather a Deep Space Nine game, but I guess that’s not happening anytime soon
I can’t wait to play the warship Voyager: 300 soldiers, 25 torpedo tubes, 30 phaser banks, and a compliment of borg battle drones.
