A game developed by Mad Doc Software and published by Bethesda Softworks, intended as the [[Spiritual Successor]] to the excellent ''[[Star Trek Starfleet Command]]'' and ''[[Star Trek: Bridge Commander]]'' games, with even some RTS elements a la ''[[Star Trek Armada]]''.
The original concept for the game was that of a [[World Building]] [[Generational Saga]] [[Space Opera]], uniting the cast leads from all of the extant [[Star Trek]] series in one story unfolding over hundreds of years of Trek history. Originally, the various captains were going to face a crisis dealing with the Iconian gateways as seen in the ''[[Star Trek:
The game was released on both the X-Box 360 and the PC. The 360 version recieved somewhat positive reviews, while the PC version was...well, [[Porting Disaster|terrible.]]

{{tropelist}}
* [[Ascended Fanboy]]: Rick Knox, who beforehand made community models for [[Star Trek Starfleet Command]], [[Star Trek: Bridge Commander]], and [[Star Trek Armada]], was tapped by Mad Doc Software to work on Legacy.
* [[Badass Boast]]: A few over the different eras, but one in particular stands out when T'Uerell advises the Starfleet armada to surrender. Picard's response: "Sorry; that word is ''not'' in Starfleet's vocabulary."
** Both the Romulan and Klingon commanders in the final two missions give some of these, all of them unintentionally hilarious. Klingons will send those soulless Borg to Gre'thor anyway! And the Romulans acting like they [[Danger Deadpan|have everything under control]], they certainly [[Suspiciously Specific Denial|didn't need]] Captain Picard's help!
* [[Big Bad]]: T'Uerell.
* [[The Captain]]: All five of them!
* [[Card
* [[Critical Existence Failure]]: [[Subverted Trope|Subverted]]....kinda. Ships look more and more damaged as they are...uh...damaged. Unfortunately, one of the [[Game Breaking Bug|Game Breaking Bugs]] the PC version suffered.
* [[Cool Starship]]: Somewhat hard to mess up, this being a [[Space Combat Simulator]] and all. Ships from all across Trek canon appear, as well as a few made for the game. Of course, many community made ships have been modded into the game as well.
* [[Continuity Porn]]: Want to see [[Star Trek:
* [[Complete Monster]]: T'Uerell, ''massively''.
* [[Executive Meddling]]
* [[Faster
* [[Game Mod]]: Inevitable, it's a [[Star Trek]] [[Simulation Game]]. This has increased the game's life-span significantly.
* [[Generational Saga]]: None of the main characters are directly related to one another, but the games storyline takes place over several hundred years, beginning with [[Star Trek: Enterprise|Archer's]] Enterprise being sent after a rogue vulcan scientist named T'Uerell, and ending with {{spoiler|[[Star Trek:
* [[Hey,
* [[Insane Troll Logic]]: Meet T'Uerell, the Galaxy's least logical proponent of Vulcan logic.
* [[Joker Immunity]]: T'Uerell lives through hundreds of years of Trek history, doing god knows what, to who the hell knows how many.
Line 32:
* [[Obvious Beta]]: The PC version.
* [[Porting Disaster]]
* [[The Problem
* [[Rescued
* [[Running the Asylum]]: Mr. Knox.
* [[Ship Tease]]: The banter between Janeway and Picard. It's enough to make one think that they're already in a relationship.
Line 41:
* [[Space Is an Ocean|Space Is A Pizza Box]]: Ships fly like aircraft and fight like naval warships, which this being [[Space Is an Ocean|Star Trek]] and all, is actually somewhat fitting.
* [[Space Opera]]: [[Executive Meddling|Minus the "Opera" part.]]
* [[Spiritual Successor]]: Intended as this for both [[Star Trek Starfleet Command]] and [[Star Trek: Bridge Commander]].
** Intended being the [[Obvious Beta|key word there]]. Bridge Commander was much, ''much'' more sophisticated than this game ended up being, and that game had an actual [[Space Opera]] plot.
* [[Start of Darkness]]: The plot revolves around the origins of the Borg.
Line 48:
* [[The Gump]]: T'Uerell is an evil version of this, see [[Continuity Porn]] above.
* [[The Man Behind the Man]]: T'Uerell, {{spoiler|for the ''frinxing BORG''.}}
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: Captain Archer gives himself a hard time over this. He even says that [[Star Trek: Enterprise|he should have listened to Shran about the Vulcans]].
* [[They Just Didn't Care]]: The PC version. As many who have modded the game, occasionally having to stop for days and fix unfinished spaghetti code, will attest.
* [[
* [[Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny]]: Legions of mods. It's a [[Star Trek]] [[Simulation Game]]. This is to be expected.
* [[Units Not to Scale]]: Planets. Again, just like [[Star Trek Starfleet Command]], or [[Star Trek Armada]].
Line 56:
* [[What Could Have Been]]: The story was being written by D.C. Fontana, and the prescence of all five series leads, should give one an idea of how good this game could have been.
* [[World Building]]: The story spans hundreds of years across the Trek timeline, and T'Uerell is like a villainous version of [[The Gump]].
* [[Zeerust]]: Throughout the entire game. First happens in the transition from the more advanced looking and sounding [[Star Trek: Enterprise|Enterprise]] era to the one of [[Star Trek:
* [[Zombie Apocalypse]]: It involves the origins of the Borg.
