Story
The plot basically is the same as the film: Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the Enterprise-D discover the ruins of the Amargosa Observatory and send Commander William Riker down to investigate.
Once there, he finds Dr. Tolian Soran, a scientist and madman hell bent on returning to the Nexus, a paradise dimension.
Soran escapes and the Enterprise goes on various missions to try and find him. To achieve returning to the Nexus, Soran intends on destroying stars in order to cause the Nexus (due to loss of the stars' gravity) to pass through Veridian III.
The player needs to guess which planets Soran intends to destroy in order to pursue him.
Apart from being based on the original film, the game is also a semi-sequel to Star Trek: The Next Generation: A Final Unity, since the non-canonical aliens from that game, the Chodak, make an appearance.

Famous quotes containing the word story:
“Its idea of “production value” is spending a million dollars dressing up a story that any good writer would throw away. Its vision of the rewarding movie is a vehicle for some glamour-puss with two expressions and eighteen changes of costume, or for some male idol of the muddled millions with a permanent hangover, six worn-out acting tricks, the build of a lifeguard, and the mentality of a chicken-strangler.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“A good story cannot be devised; it has to be distilled.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“One story recounts that a Tennessean, after a single day in the then almost impenetrable tangle of cypress, briars, and canebreaks, pestered by myriads of mosquitoes, and bogged in the heavy gumbo mud, declared: “Arkansas is not part of the world for which Jesus Christ died—I want none of it.””
—Administration in the State of Arka, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
