Introduction
Deep Space 9 - The Fallen
represents one of the latest games to based in the Star Trek universe, the other
one being Voyager
Elite Force. Although rather than going the route of an FPS
game this is a third person viewed game &
uses the Unreal engine.
The Pah-wraiths - a race of
exiled, all-powerful aliens - are on the verge of returning. The keys to
unleashing & harnessing their power are three archaic Red Orbs. The race to
find the Orbs is on between you - playing as either Captain Sisko, Major Kira,
or Lt. Commander Worf - & a host of opposing forces that would use the
ultimate power to dominate the Alpha Quadrant & all of its inhabitants.
