Star Trek: A Final Unity is the third in a series of Adventure Games based on the Star Trek universe, made for the PC in 1995 by MicroProse. It marked the first adventure game written specifically for the Next Generation franchise, the first Star Trek adventure to be released exclusively as a fully-voiced CD-ROM, and also the first to feature "Super-VGA" graphics.Like its TOS predecessors (25th Anniversary and Judgment Rites), A Final Unity is a very faithful translation of the television show into the adventure game format. This means that the aesthetic style, writing style and structure of the show are all represented in the game. Unlike its predecessors, which were highly episodic in nature, A Final Unity is built entirely around a central Story Arc. It is designed to resemble a single, multi-part episode of the television series, whose story unfolds over a long sequence of away missions, space battles, conversations on the ship, and even some rudimentary management of the Enterprise itself.The story begins with the Enterprise encountering a tiny ship fleeing Romulan space, through the Romulan Neutral Zone and into Federation space. It is pursued by a Warbird belonging to the Garidians - a race allied with the Romulans. After the Enterprise intervenes and sends the Garidians back whence they came, the rescued ship turns out to be carrying religious refugees who are fleeing from Garid. They ask Picard to assist them in rediscovering some ancient texts that might help spark a revolution back on their home planet. However, the search for these ancient texts subsequently leads to the re-discovery of an ancient civilization that once spanned a major portion of the galaxy, and disappeared overnight some 900,000 years ago.A good portion of the game is spent on the bridge of the Enterprise, but the focus of the game is still on the away missions. There are 6 of them, played in a Point-and-Click adventure style reminiscent of the previous games in the series. This time around, the player gets to select which of the officers from the Enterprise-D they'd like to send down. In fact, the difficulty of each away-mission depends greatly on which officers are picked; If the most suitable officers are chosen for a mission, they will have interesting conversations with one another throughout and offer very helpful advice. As in the previous games, good diplomacy and defusing dangerous situations is once again critical here. Losing any crew member results in an instant Game Over.For the first time in Star Trek videogame history, A Final Unity includes fully-3D-rendered space battles. Combat is handled through the various command posts that control the different systems on board the ship: directing weapon-fire, distributing energy, maneuvering around the battlefield, and even using tractor beams. Battles can be very difficult and very engrossing, and differ from previous games in that the arcade-like controls and flight mechanics have been replaced with a much more complex (and confusing) simulator of ship-to-ship combat, closer to the ones used in games like Star Trek: Bridge Commander. Furthermore, players have the option of relegating control to their officers during battle.Once again, pretty much the entire regular cast from the television show gave their voices to this game, with plenty of dialogue for each of them. The game successfully manages to capture the feel of the series, right down to the Teaser at the beginning, the sounds and visuals, and of course the type of conflicts usually presented in Next Generation episodes. This should not be surprising, seeing as much of the story and direction aspects were handled by the creators and writers of The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine.A Final Unity is also considered the last Star Trek adventure game to have No Problem with Licensed Games, and is still remembered fondly. The next attempt resulted in Star Trek: Generations, a mediocre game based on a movie of the same name. This coincided with the general decline of the adventure-game genre as a whole. At the same time, the Star Trek videogame franchise began moving into more serious ship-to-ship and fleet-to-fleet combat simulations (with the occasional lower-quality adventure being released to a less receptive crowd). | |

Not So Extinct: The escaped animal at the Morassia nature preserve bears a strong resemblance to a now-extinct animal that once lived on Garid. However, it turns out that the Lawgiver had taken several animals from Garid when he left - including this one. Learning this helps the Enterprise track down the animal's origin to the planet the Lawgiver escaped to. | |

Properly Paranoid: Dr. Vi Hyunh-Foertsch, at least generally-speaking. When a mistagged animal is brought to her attention, she begins to suspect that someone in the Morassia wildlife preserve has been importing illegal animals. Her only problem is that she's also Improperly Paranoid, blaming various innocent people for being in on the scam, and thus losing all credibility for her claim. | |

Psychological Projection: Brodnack has trouble understanding that Picard actually means what he says when he tries to get the other captains to cooperate in the Unity Device test, instead believing that Picard was only doing so because he felt weak and needed allies. This is due to Brodnack's upbringing, which pushes the individual to excel at the expense of others. | |

Deus ex Machina | |
| A Final Unity (Video Game) / int_3fca462c | comment |
Deus ex Machina: The Unity device is precisely this; a technological machine capable of doing literally anything. It could instantly destroy any fleet of ships that threatened it, and that is stated to be the least of its power. It can create sentient races from nothing, and even destroy (or create) an entire Galaxy if its owner so wished. Fortunately it is never seen to be used like this and essentially remains a MacGuffin. | |

Broken Aesop | |
| A Final Unity (Video Game) / int_401d4116 | comment |
Broken Aesop: At the very end of the game, Picard is given the option to use the Unity Device to annihilate the Borg. He decides not to take this option, and wins control of the Unity Device as a result. After the fact, he rationalizes the decision as obeying the Prime Directive. The keepers of the Unity Device congratulate him on having the wisdom not to use the device for petty ends, which essentially implies that because it believes in the very simple concept of non-interference, the relatively young Federation is wiser and more enlightened than the million year old Chodak race which actually built the Unity Device in the first place. This is further broken in that the message of the entire game right up to that point (as was that of the television series) was all about cooperation and mutual respect between different and alien cultures. To say nothing of the Unity Device stating that not using it to wipe out the Borg is not using it to "settle petty political dispute." Except... This is THE BORG we're talking about, a species who are considered so much an existential threat to the Federation (and organic life in general) that in one episode of TNG, an admiral explicitly told Picard that if he were in a position to destroy the Borg, he was to take it. The Borg aren't a political entity, and wiping them out wouldn't be "solving a political dispute" but acting to preserve life (granted, this game was written and produced well before Star Trek: Voyager expanded the Borg to where they were so explicitly deadly and dangerous to all life). | |

Fling a Light into the Future: The Chodak rebels did this with the Unity Device, not because the Chodak empire was dying, but because they felt it SHOULD die, as it had become corrupt and evil. The Unity Device was the source of Chodak dominance and the rebels felt it was too powerful and dangerous to be used for such petty reasons. | |

| A Final Unity (Video Game) / int_4f84cdef | comment |
Smug Snake: Captain Pentara slips into this role towards the end of the game, to her own detriment when she fails one of the many secret tests of character. Admiral Brodnak is also this, constantly overestimating himself and underestimating everyone else throughout his time interacting with you. Consultant Iydia at the Morassian nature preserve. He is dismissive of the Enterprise's investigation into Dr. Hyunh-Foertsch's disappearance, angry that it is taking away time from his important research, and condescending over anyone who tries to question him and everyone else at the facility to boot. In conversation it is quickly also revealed that he lacks any scientific ethics. Finally, it is discovered that he had drugged and kidnapped Dr. Hyunh-Foertsch because she was about to expose his smuggling operation. Arch-Rashon Nachyl on Frigis is implied to be one based on dialog with Aelont, but no on-screen behavior really confirms this. | |

Recurring Character: Not strictly a character, but a ship: The Klingon cruiser Bortas, already seen in several TNG episodes including "Redemption" and "Heir to the Empire", where it served as Gowron's flagship.

Fantastic Racism | |
| A Final Unity (Video Game) / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: The Morassians treat their males as second-class citizens, viewing them as inferior. They extend the same disrespect to the males from the Enterprise... except for Worf, who gets the same level of respect as the female Enterprise crew-members because he is Klingon. The nature of this exception is left unexplored. The Morassians are highly suspicious of the exotic animal trader Aramut simply because he is a Ferengi, despite having had no real contact with the man. Of course, it doesn't help that their contact to him it through the Smug Snake Iydia. | |

Escaped Animal Rampage: This is the B-plot during the Morassia mission.

It then goes on a rampage, sucking the energy out of multiple other specimens at the preserve. | |

| A Final Unity (Video Game) / int_5989e3b6 | comment |
Enemy Mine: During the tests on the Unity Device, Picard and Pentara quickly realize that if Brodnack gets control of the device he would turn the Federation, Garidia, and every other civilization in the galaxy into second-class citizens (read: slaves). They agree to work together to defeat him. | |

Improperly Paranoid | |
| A Final Unity (Video Game) / int_5a5b7e42 | comment |
Improperly Paranoid: While Dr. Vi Hyunh-Foertsch is Properly Paranoid about someone smuggling illegal animals into the Morassia wildlife preserve, she blames literally everyone for being in on the conspiracy, including even the person who had brought the issue to her attention in the first place! She suspects the actual culprit too, but the trope is inverted when for some reason she still agrees to have dinner with him, leading to the doctor getting drugged and gagged and held captive in his quarters. | |

Distress Call | |
| A Final Unity (Video Game) / int_5eca52dc | comment |
Distress Call: As per the Star Trek idiom, these occur constantly. The game even starts with one, as a Garidian scout-ship carrying political refugees attempts to race across the Romulan Neutral Zone to seek asylum in the Federation. This is the Inciting Incident that triggers all other events in the game. Another distress call is received as soon as the matter with the Garidian refugees is resolved, when the Enterprise receives a call to investigate an attack on the Mertens Federation advanced research facility. Another one is issued when The Romulans invade Federation space in search of the Unity Device. | |

Something Only They Would Say: In order to get the Lawgiver's Followers to reveal themselves on Frigis, Picard allows T'Bak to broadcast a quote from the Lawgiver. He specifically chooses the last words of the Lawgiver before he left Garid, where he rebuked the Garidian ruling council for its misinterpretation of his words. This lets the Followers know that they are not simply dealing with Garidians (whom they were trying to hide from), but ones who recognize that the Lawgiver was not a traitor. | |

Invisibility Cloak | |
| A Final Unity (Video Game) / int_66f69cd4 | comment |
Invisibility Cloak: Aside from the familiar one used by the Romulans (and their allies the Garidians), the Enterprise now has to contend with a new interstellar power using something called a "Chameleon Field" which can disguise an object as another innocuous space object such as an asteroid. It primarily works by masking against sensor scans, but doesn't fool the naked eye. The Chameleon Field is encountered multiple times during the game, at one point used to mask an entire inhabited planet as an uninhabitable one. | |

Idiot Ball | |
| A Final Unity (Video Game) / int_7286e96d | comment |
Idiot Ball: The Seekers are a sect of Garidians who believe in always admitting ignorance and seeking truth. In their temple is a massive door that has been there for a thousand years, guarded by a mechanical statue that will only open the door if you answer a series of questions correctly. Yet no one had gone through that door until about one month before the Enterprise arrived; In fact, Riker is the second person to ever get the answers right and go through. This means that in about a thousand years, none of the Seekers have managed to figure out that the statue wants answers that admit one's ignorance. How could you possibly fail that, Seekers?! | |

Bait-and-Switch | |
| A Final Unity (Video Game) / int_8797239c | comment |
Bait-and-Switch: Both In-Universe and Out, the final chapter on board the Unity Device turns out to be one of these. After spending half the game racing to the Unity Device to take control of it or at least prevent anyone else from doing so, Picard, Pentara and Brodnack discover that the Device is still being controlled by the same scientists who stole it originally, and that they have no intention to give up control to anyone else. They are using the device purely to mend the rifts in space-time that were caused by the Device itself a million years ago. They need an additional Chodak to help them, but the only suitable one who shows up (Brodnack) is too hell-bent on restoring the Chodak Empire, which had caused the problem to begin with. To that end, they engineer events so that Picard would show Brodnack the path of altruism and cooperation, setting him up for that one moment at the end in which he will voluntarily pledge his life to the monumental task. Up to that very point, Picard truly believed that his own worthiness to control the Device was being tested. | |

Intelligent Gerbil: In a departure from Trek's normal way of doing things, the Chodak are some sort of anthropomorphic bivalve that possess a face with two eyes and a mouth, plus bilateral bodily symmetry including a pair of spindly arms and legs. Their memorable appearance would have been extremely difficult and expensive to portray in a 1990's TV show, which is fortunately no obstacle for an animated videogame. | |

Artificial Stupidity | |
| A Final Unity (Video Game) / int_940a5958 | comment |
Artificial Stupidity: Space combat is the biggest letdown of the game, owing to its terrible design. Weaponry doesn't seem to work half the time, and gives no indication of when it actually does work. It's easy to get blown up and lose the game without even knowing how it happened. To make matters worse, emulating the game on modern machines causes ships to spin wildly in random directions for no apparent reason. The quickest and easiest way to get through it is to let Worf take control of combat, where he makes the Enterprise spin around and corkscrew marginally less than the target ship does. | |

Take a Third Option: The only correct solution to the final dilemma in the game. You are informed of an impending attack by a Borg fleet and can use the unity device to either destroy the fleet or the entire Borg race. On the surface, it looks like you absolutely must choose one option or the other to proceed with the game - unless you notice that the control panel that presents the options has an off switch... | |

Continuity Nod | |
| A Final Unity (Video Game) / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: Multiple nods to various episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation, which was still in its 7th and final season when the game was released. Geordi displays familiarity with singularity-based power cores, which he had acquired while attempting to repair a Romulan Warbird. ("Timescape") Troi can be used instead of Geordi for the same puzzle. In her case, she learned the principles of singularity drives while serving in disguise on a Romulan warbird. ("Face of the Enemy") When Data is confronted with the possibility of a creature that eats neural energy on the planet Morassia, he is not surprised at all - stating that he had already encountered such creatures personally (in the two-parter episode "Time's Arrow"). The Enterprise encounters the Klingon cruiser Bortas during their attempts to defend the border against a Romulan invasion. Worf comments that the Bortas's new captain had fought alongside him against the Duras family - a nod to the two-parter episode "Redemption". The Bortas itself appeared in that episode and others as Chancellor Gowron's flagship. When Picard is being interrogated on the Unity Device to determine what he would do with its power, the judge asks whether he would use it to make up for his father's disapproval, or his brother's resentment. This harkens back to episodes such as "Tapestry" and "Family", in which those aspects of Picard's life were revealed. The judge then brings up Picard's Noodle Incident from his academy days that nearly got him expelled ("The First Duty"), as well as an old lover he had jilted due to fear of commitment ("We'll Always Have Paris"). He then moves on to more recent failures, such as the destruction of the Stargazer ("The Battle"), the actions of Locutus of Borg at Wolf 359 ("The Best of Both Worlds"), and giving up Federation secrets to the Cardassians ("The Chains of Command"). | |

Data Crystal: Picard actually receives a Chodak data crystal about halfway through the game, called a "data crystal" in so many words, no less. Unfortunately, most of the data on it is corrupted, though there is some useful information in it. | |

The Only Way They Will Learn | |
| A Final Unity (Video Game) / int_b0909bf3 | comment |
The Only Way They Will Learn: The Lawgiver was fed up with the infighting between the various sects forming among his Followers, so he hid the Fifth Scroll away from them and told them that they would need to cooperate in order to ever find it again. Unfortunately, a thousand years later, they had never done so. | |

Dyson Sphere: The Unity Device is one, though the inside seems to be full of other things as well, not just along the inner surface. It is certainly the size of a Dyson Sphere: 314 million kilometers in diameter. | |

Sealed Evil in a Duel: ...the scientists who stole the Unity Device were actually not hoping to find a more benevolent user for the device, but someone who would help contain the damage it had done to the universe. They've been struggling to seal the tearing of the space-time continuum it had caused, and will probably continue to do so until the end of time. | |

Two Lines, No Waiting | |
| A Final Unity (Video Game) / int_ca7ec334 | comment |
Two Lines, No Waiting: The mission on Morassia has two concurrent plots running: The disappearance of Dr. Hyunh-Foertsch, and the mysterious power-outages that have been plaguing the nature reserve. The two incidents initially appear to be connected, but are gradually revealed to be completely separate events. They both must be resolved before the mission ends. | |

Series Continuity Error | |
| A Final Unity (Video Game) / int_ca95473c | comment |
Series Continuity Error: As much as the game really does manage to evoke the feel of the TNG television series, its utterly impossible to fit it into the continuity, as the stardates mentioned throughout the game indicate it as taking place over the course of the entire final season: the first stardate mentioned in the game, 47111.1, actually places it immediately after "Descent Part 2", and the final stardate mentioned in the game is after the one used in TNG's final episode. So unless the search for the Chodak was happening "around" the rest of the final season, and therefore we only get to see those relevant bits here, it otherwise becomes very tricky to figure out... | |

Schmuck Bait | |
| A Final Unity (Video Game) / int_d2c0e2ed | comment |
Schmuck Bait: Late in the game, you may find yourself needing to use a pulsar to determine the location of the Unity Device, only to discover that it has collapsed into a black hole. Data suggests using a complex solution involving warp drive, the deflector and subspace fields, while Troi suggests flying thirty light years away (into Romulan space, no less) in order to get an image of the pulsar prior to its collapse. Given their respective backgrounds, you'd probably expect Troi's solution to be completely idiotic, and Data's to be the correct one. You'd be wrong, though — Troi's solution works so long as you can avoid getting blown away by the Romulans, whereas Data's will result in the instant destruction of the Enterprise. | |

Contrived Coincidence | |
| A Final Unity (Video Game) / int_dc579c91 | comment |
Contrived Coincidence: The Enterprise rescues some Garidian refugees looking for the Fifth Scroll. It then responds to an alien attack on a research station. Finally, an Admiral calls and asks for help looking for a friend who's gone missing on a nature preserve. These three events follow one another almost directly, but literally have nothing to do with each other on a causality level. However, once the third event is completed, all three storylines come together perfectly, with the missing person investigation ultimately providing a crucial clue that leads the Enterprise right to the planet containing both the Fifth Scroll and an extremely rare Chodak ruin. Without all of these disconnected things happening at the same time — and right before the Romulans and Chodak invade the Federation, no less — the Enterprise would never have been able to find the Unity Device in time. On the other hand, the trope may be justified by the fact that the Unity Device probably had the power to orchestrate them. Another coincidence is the Vulcan archaeologist Shanok on Horst III. He is first visited early on because he's the foremost expert on Garidian archaeology in the Federation. He has no information that could help with finding the Fifth Scroll, but does mention that he's currently excavating the only Chodak site ever found within Federation space. Once the Chodak invade, the Enterprise rushes back to Horst III and visit his excavation site, where they find the only clue that could pinpoint the location of the Chodak capital of Allanor. | |

Waiting Puzzle | |
| A Final Unity (Video Game) / int_dc87cf26 | comment |
Waiting Puzzle: At several points in the game, there's nothing to do except wait for a message to come in from Starfleet, or wait for some analysis to be completed. This can take upwards of 10 seconds sometimes. During an Away Mission while on Ensign difficulty (or if you chose the correct people for the Away Team yourself) the characters occasionally speak with one another and plainly state what the solution to the current problem is, or what your next step should be. The interval between them speaking up is random, and can sometimes take up to two minutes. | |

Space Station: Other than the many Starbases you can visit for repairs and torpedo replenishment, Mertens Station is the only Space Station relevant to the story. It is an advanced scientific research station that has been developing a variety of new technologies, among which are means to detect cloaked vessels as well as an experimental power source similar to the one used by Romulans. Unsurprisingly, it comes under attack fairly early on, though not by the Romulans. | |

Rubber-Forehead Aliens | |
| A Final Unity (Video Game) / int_e78aa97d | comment |
Rubber-Forehead Aliens: Despite this being a video game where makeup and costumes are not a limiting factor, the Garidians — a completely new race appearing only in this game — are basically Romulans/Vulcans with deep forehead ridges. Subverted with the Chodak, who look barely humanoid at all, though they do not cross fully into the Starfish Aliens category. If anything, they somewhat resemble Humpty Dumpty. A Federation phytosociologist working at the Morassian Nature Preserve appears to be some sort of insectoid alien. There is no interaction with them during the game; only their portrait appears in the tricorder during that mission. | |

| A Final Unity (Video Game) / int_edcc813f | comment |
Fantastic Caste System: The Garidians have a two-caste system comprised of the Patricians and Plebians, as established in their original founding texts, the "Four Scrolls". A major portion of the game revolves around the search for a fifth scroll, which codified the rights of the Plebians while rebuking the Patricians. The discovery of this fifth scroll sets off a violent revolution on Garid. | |

Railroading | |
| A Final Unity (Video Game) / int_f6f6adeb | comment |
Railroading: The game does dip into this territory on occasion. In particular, there's the Shmuck Bait mentioned below - if you need to use the pulsar, the game will make you go into Romulan space to outrun the light of the pulsar and observe it in what would otherwise be a pretty clever acknowledgment of real physics and what would be possible with FTL travel. The only thing is... a star, even a pulsar, is a sphere. Even if you just need to be on the pulsar's former plane of ecliptic to fully observe the pulse, you should be able to go in any direction in 360 degrees from it to make your observation - including the opposite direction away from Romulan territory! However, that part of the game world doesn't exist (the pulsar is positioned in a way as to make that part of the Federation unreachable on the map), so you have no choice but to violate the Neutral Zone to make your observation. | |

| A Final Unity (Video Game) / int_f844a17c | comment |
Blame Game: This happens during the investigation on Morassia, with literally everyone blaming someone else for the various deficiencies, accidents, and seeming incompetence occuring at the facility. Dr. Hyunh-Foertsch takes this one step further by blaming the apparent animal smuggling on three different groups of people, claiming they are all in it together. Even after the mission is over, Aramut tries to continue the Blame Game by accusing his own suppliers of mistagging the animals before they even got to him. Unfortunately for Aramut, Picard is tired of playing the game. | |
