Line 6:
* '''''[[Star Trek: Voyager]] Elite Force'''''
::Stranded in the far reaches of the galaxy, The USS Voyager is in a precarious predicament. It's dangerous out here, and the rules of [[The Federation]] might not apply. And so Lt. Tuvok forms The Hazard Team, a group of highly trained officers who can handle the toughest and most dangerous missions. And that expertise will be needed forthright; Voyager finds itself trapped in a [[Derelict Graveyard|starship graveyard]], unable to escape. The Hazard Team must travel from ship to ship, searching for clues (and fighting off hostile aliens), and find a way to release Voyager.
** The economically-titled '''''Star Trek Voyager Elite Force Expansion Pack''''', in addition to more multiplayermulti-player arenas and modes, added two noteworthy features to the original game:
*** Jeri Ryan returned to voice Seven Of Nine ([[The Other Darrin|another voice actor had originally voiced the part;]] the Expansion Pack copied Ryan's voice work over the replacement's);
*** "Virtual Voyager Mode" allowed the player to explore the interior of the Starship Voyager, collecting items and partaking in RPG-ish mini-adventures.
Line 15:
::Oops, upon returning to Starfleet, the first thing that happens is the disbanding of the Hazard Team. Fortunately for Alex Munro, he catches the eye of one Jean-Luc Picard, who promptly [[Putting the Band Back Together|reforms the Hazard Team]] and transfers them to The Federation flagship, the Enterprise-E. And just in time, too -- there seems to be some sort of invasion of strange, savage aliens. Tracking these aliens to their source will lead Munro and his team to lost alien civilizations, ages-old feuds, the Alpha Quadrant's [[Wretched Hive|seedy underbelly]], and good old fashioned political intrigue. All while blasting savage aliens to protoplasm.

=== These Video Games provide examples of: ===
* [[Alternative Continuity]]: Like ''all'' [[Star Trek Expanded Universe]] material, it exists outside of proper continuity.
* [[Ascended Extra]]: Chell, one of the series' major characters, started as a extra with a few lines of dialogue on a couple episodes of ''Voyager''. He's even played by the same actor. In the first game, at least.
Line 24:
*** Also in EF2, there's the Romulan X - Rad secondary fire. Too bad it's a [[Painfully-Slow Projectile]]
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: In EF1, at seemingly the worst part of a [[Zerg Rush]] (and immediately following {{spoiler|the Heroic Sacrifice}}).
* [[Big Ol' Eyebrows]]: ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20130721154445/http://eliteforce2.filefront.com/screenshots/File/16118/1 Mr. Stemmons].'' That is all ye need know of eyebrows.
** Tribble's?
* [[Bond One-Liner]]: "Assimilation is futile", after defeating a giant Borg in EF2.
Line 35:
* [[Escort Mission]]
* [["Everybody Laughs" Ending]]: EF1:
{{quote| '''[[The Captain|Captain Janeway]]:''' Why, Tuvok, is that pride I hear in your voice?<br />
'''[[The Spock|Lt. Tuvok]]:''' Captain, I see no reason to insult me.<br />
[''everybody laughs''] }}
* [[Eviler Than Thou]]: The Reavers to the Borg in EF1. In fact, the Borg were originally supposed to teleport in and help you fight the final boss, but that was cut from the final product. Instead, the Etherians help out, which makes a little more sense anyway, since you'd allied with them.
** In the comic adeptationadaptation of the game, released before the game itself, the Borg ''do'' come and help out, and the Etherians are removed entirely. There are occasional hints that this was the final plan (including a line that comments on how Foster was assimilated, when he was rescued earlier).
* [[First Girl Wins]]: Can either be played straight or averted in the sequel depending on whether or not Alex chooses to romance long-time teammate Telsia, or the new [[Hot Scientist]] and stripperiffic Kleeya.
* [[Gameplay Ally Immortality]]: Your Elite Force Alpha Team teammates (and the occasional guest teammate from the Voyager crew) are pretty much invincible. The members of the [[Mauve Shirt]] Beta Team, though, can sometimes die semi-scripted deaths depending on your actions throughout a level (i.e. if you fail the optional [[Stealth -Based Mission]], or let one take too much damage in a set firefight).
* [[Gatling Good]]: Both games feature an energy minigun called a Tetryon Disruptor; it's a Hirogen weapon in EF1, and a Klingon weapon in EF2. In both cases you get it after defeating a [[Duel Boss]] in a shootout.
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|Beissman}} in EF1.
Line 50:
* [[The Jimmy Hart Version]]. Proof not all Tropes are bad. Danny Pelfrey's amazing score for ''Elite Force 1'' manages to give a great new spin on the classic Voyager theme.
* [[Joke Item|Joke Items]]: in Virtual Voyager Mode.
* [[Let's Get Dangerous]]: {{spoiler|Beissman}}, who for most of the game is an arrogant, aggressive [[Non-Action Guy]], finally steps up to the plate and {{spoiler|singlehandedlysingle-handedly clears out a [[Zerg Rush]]}}; unfortunately, {{spoiler|he exposes himself to enemy fire while doing so}}.
** While everyone around {{spoiler|him}} basically just stares at the scene with their mouths wide open, rather than helping out {{spoiler|Beissman}} since they, you know, have guns that kill things.
* [[Let's Play]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20131021013440/http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/linkara/lplink Done] by [[Atop the Fourth Wall|Linkara]].
* [[Lost World]]: The {{spoiler|Idryll biogenetic factory}}, which turns out to be {{spoiler|the source of the killer Exomorphs}}, in EF2.
* [[Love Dodecahedron]]: In EF2 you can pursue an optional romance with either {{spoiler|Telsia}} or {{spoiler|Kleeya}}; but watch out for the latter's would-be [[Love Interest]] {{spoiler|Krindo}}.
Line 71:
** Telsia would even lightly hit on you [[Les Yay|regardless of your character's gender]]. But hey, [[Everyone Is Bi|it's the 24th century]].
* [[Putting the Band Back Together]]: in EF2.
* [[Rubber Forehead Aliens]]: The Idryll in EF2 are basically (hot) humans with luminous eyes and four fingers.
* [[Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right]]: Alex ignores Tuvok's demands to return to take care of things him/herself.
* [[Starfish Aliens]]: The Ethereals in ''Elite Force'' are floating manta-rays with anteater-like heads. There's also the Reavers and Exomorphs.
* [[Stealth -Based Mission]]: notable in that failure at stealth will not result in a [[Nonstandard Game Over]], but ''will'' result in the death of a teammate.
* [[Storming the Castle]]: The final assault on The Forge in EF1.
* [[Stupidity Is the Only Option]]: The [[Unwinnable Training Simulation]] in the first game ends with you shooting a console in an attempt to shut off a forcefield. [[Explosive Instrumentation|Naturally, the resulting explosion kills you.]]
* [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute]]: Korban in EF2 is an obvious stand-in for Worf.
** Korban was voiced by Tony Todd, who played Worf's brother, Kurn, on TNG.
* [[Suspicious Videogame Generosity]]: When you find a power-up that maxes out both of your ammo types, you know the final boss is just ahead.
* [[Techno Babble]]: It wouldn't be ''Star Trek'' without it!
* [[Timed Mission]]: usually involving the prevention of a ship-wide disaster.
