Pretty much every single ship that ever appeared in Star Trek on the big or small screen (with the exception of the recent Abramsverse movies) is included in the game, along with a fair number of the more famous non-cannon ships. This now brings the total up to an impressive 5 factions, 6 if you include the fact that the Cardassians can either be played as a pure faction or as the Dominion War alliance. The most recent update, which hit over the winter, added the Cardassian/Dominion alliance to the mix. When I first started playing this mod, the available races were the Federation, Klingons, Romulans, and Borg. There has been some truly impressive work done by the team of folks that have put STA3 together the SoaSE framework is barely recognizable under all the Trek glory, at least visually! The Factions have been lovingly converted to a Star Trek theme. Put simply, STA3 it is a “total conversion mod” for the PC strategy game Sins of a Solar Empire. That means that while STA3 shares the same basic interface, engine, and gameplay of SoaSE, all of the ships, races, symbols, sounds, etc. That is until about 10 years later, when a dedicated team of volunteers started work on a mod project. However, after the bottom fell out of the Star Trek market, this series was shelved, apparently forever. So, what is STA3? Well, to start at the beginning, back in the early 2000s there were a series of Star Trek real time strategy (RTS) games published as Star Trek Armada and Star Trek Armada II.

I originally posted this review over on my personal blog, but since the mod mostly deals with ships of various kinds, I figured it would be worthwhile to post here as well! The Basics
