Neutral Zone
Three targets plus a hole in front of the middle one. Shoot the targets three times to light a random mission:
- Ferengi: Multiball, but starts with only two balls. Shoot the Neutral Zone for additional balls (maximum of four). The "Start Mission" hole awards Jackpot (Ten Million times the number of balls), and the left yellow targets increase the Jackpot by two million per hit (maxing at 70 million with 4 balls in play).
- Romulan: Three Romulan Warbirds will appear (left orbit, Alpha Quadrant ramp and Beta Quadrant ramp) which the player can force to cloak by shooting the corresponding shot. The mission goal is to cloak all ships simultaneously for a 30 million award. Hitting any of the righthand "Klingon Assistance" targets brings a Klingon Bird-of-prey out of cloak, thus blocking one of the Warbirds (first hit blocks the left orbit ship, second the Beta Quadrant ramp ship; the Alpha Quadrant ramp is never "blocked") and expediting completion of the goal.
- Cardassian: Two ball Multiball with the Jackpot placed in the Neutral Zone. Value of the Jackpot is depending on the Enterprise shields, and are decreased (between one and three levels) by any shot fired by the Cardassians as follows:
- Shields at 100%: 50 Million
- Shields at 83%: 30 Million
- Shields at 66%: 25 Million
- Shields at 50%: 20 Million
- Shields at 33%: 15 Million
- Shields at 17%: 10 Million
- Shields at 0%: 5 Million
As with Borg Multiball (see below), hitting the left orbit Spinner builds the shields back up, thus reincreasing the jackpot amount.

Famous quotes containing the words neutral and/or zone:
“The seashore is a sort of neutral ground, a most advantageous point from which to contemplate this world. It is even a trivial place. The waves forever rolling to the land are too far-traveled and untamable to be familiar. Creeping along the endless beach amid the sun-squall and the foam, it occurs to us that we, too, are the product of sea-slime.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The human race is a zone of living things that should be defined by tracing its confines.”
—Italo Calvino (1923–1985)
