Developed By Totally Games, who years prior gave us ''[[Star Wars: X-Wing]]'' and ''[[TIE Fighter]]'' from [[Star Wars|that other franchise]], ''Star Trek: Bridge Commander'' is a [[Simulation Game|space sim]] set in the ''[[Star Trek]]'' [[The Verse|universe]]. The plot revolves around an inexperienced captain (read: YOU), trying to prevent an interstellar war, shortly after the end of [[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine|another]].
Bridge Commander was an ambitious attempt to replicate the feel of the various series, with generally positive results. It's the first game in the franchise to nail the feeling of flying around in one of the huge capital ships, and still has a very active fan community. Not bad at all for a barely advertised game from 2002.

* [[AFGNCAAP]] (The player character is never seen or heard. The only information about the character comes in the intro while your doomed Captain is dictating his log, and identifies the player character in an offhand remark as a [[Always Male|male]].)▼
* [[Alternate Continuity]] (Bridge Commander forms part of a strange sort of alternate universe, having links to the [[Star Trek Armada|Armada]] games, [[Star Trek Elite Force|Elite Force/II]], and [[Star Trek Starfleet Command|Star Trek: Starfleet Command III]]. All these games were published by Activision.)
* [[All There in the Manual]] (Bridge Commander's ''tenuous'' link to [[Star Trek Starfleet Command|SFC 3]] is shown in the description of the Sovereign-class in SFC 3's instuction manual.)

** This mainly extends to maneuvering the starship and targeting/firing its weapons though, although you can also personally set power allocations and repair priorities.
* [[Earthshattering Kaboom]] (The main plot of the game revolves around what caused a star to suddenly go nova in the games intro, and after trying to prevent it from happening again.)
▲* [[
* [[Field Promotion]] (A particularly glaring example: It's established in the introduction cutscene that the player character has just been transferred to the Dauntless, after having spent some time as a first officer, then the captain gets fried in a supernova, and the player character is immediately promoted to ship's captain. {{spoiler|And soon after, given one of the most powerful ships in Starfleet. Though it is initially something of a fixer-upper.}})
* [[Five-Man Band]] Commander Larsen (The Leader, though also the Scrappy), Chief Brex (The Lancer; third in command and is a bit of a comedian in contrast to Saffi's snobby, by-the-book nature), Lt. Savali (The Big Guy), Miguel (The Smart Guy, though Brex also counts for this), Kiska (The Chick).
