Star Fleet Deluxe

 

Star Fleet Deluxe takes place during Galactic War II, where the vengeful Krellan Empire (allied with Zaldron Empire) seeks to destroy the United Galactic Alliance (UGA), led by Earth. The game puts you in command of an Invincible class Heavy Cruiser as humanity's last hope against the Krellan invasion. 

As the fourth installment in the acclaimed Star Fleet series, set between Star Fleet I - The War Begins ! and Star Fleet II: Krellan Commander in the Star Fleet series, which also includes the planetary invasion game Star Legions. The Krellans have progressed from using single destroyers to deploying battle fleets including battlecruisers, destroyers, and supply ships. Players must protect colonies and starbases until UGA reinforcements arrive, while facing both Krellan ships and cloaked Zaldron vessels.

 

The game represents the second wave of a three-phase Krellan invasion, bridging the gap between initial scout encounters and the full-scale invasion depicted in later games. As commander, you'll patrol a massive region spanning 100 quadrants in a 10x10 grid sector system, for precise navigation and tactical combat.
