Mission: Preemptive Strike

In Preemptive Strike the player's vessel is sent to investigate the fate of a Starfleet task force in the Rator System, rescue any survivors, and confront a Romulan invasion force.

Synopsis
The player is sent to the Rator System to investigate the disappearance of a Starfleet task force on Rator III, and determine whether a Romulan fleet gathering there is a threat to the Federation. Upon entering the system, the player must defeat several warbird squadrons (including s, s, and s) and a number of turret emplacements. Once the defenses are down, the away team beams to a Romulan military base on the surface.

On Rator III, the player disables a transport inhibitor and rescues the survivors of the task force, who were captured by the Romulans. Their leader, Lieutenant Tess, reveals that the fleet is preparing to invade Federation space (with Vulcan likely their main target) and that they plan to collect a number of subspace weapons from Rator before the strike. After Tess and her team are beamed to safety, the player's team locates the weapons and destroys them before returning to their ship.

In orbit, the player's vessel joins the USS San Jose's assault fleet and participates on an attack on the Romulan fleet. Eventually the enemy flagship,, is destroyed and the threat to the Federation averted for now.
