Star Trek: Red Alert! is a starship combat game based on the "Diskwars" system. Described as a customizable disk game, it was developed by Last Unicorn Games in 2000. It was published just prior to Last Unicorn Games being bought by Wizards of the CoastWP and soon after, WotC lost the license to Star Trek and the game was discontinued.
The Diskwars system was composed of "Starter Sets" and "Booster Packs". Each Starter Set consisted of a given starship from one of five races (Federation, Klingon, Romulan, Ferengi, and Cardassian), its crew, specialized equipment, tech upgrades, and the chance of acquiring additional starships from that faction.
Price per Starter Pack was about $12 USD. Each booster pack was approximately $6 USD, and contained about 16 new, random disks.
Advertising announced 48 different ships from the five races were available.
Introduction[]
Welcome to Star Trek: Red Alert!, the fast-paced space combat game set in the Star Trek universe. In Red Alert!, you and your fellow players build fleets of ships, man them with crew, and outfit them with unique technologies. Select a scenario, arm your fleet, and prepare for battle!.
Your starter box includes several flats of disks. Starters contain the ship displayed on the front of the box, a flat of crew and tech disks, a scenario, two counter disks flats, and an assortment of three additional random disk flats. From your starter box you should be able to select a ship, man it with crew and tech, and immediately begin playing.
Neela Daren - Scientist Nella Daren (based on the original spelling first listed in the script. During filming it was changed to Nella).

Based off the timelines of Deanna Troi and Edward Jellico, Star Trek: Red Alert! seems to be taking place in the year 2370. The game identifies the ranks of counselor Troi as Commander, which she earned in 2370. Edward Jellico's rank is stated as Captain. Jellico is know to be a captain in 2369 and becomes an Admiral in 2370. This suggests that the game is played in early 2370, after Deanna Troi gets promoted to Commander, and before Edward Jellico gets his promotion to Admiral. Of course, the appearance of Ensign Crusher causes this supposition to be called into question, as he was either in Starfleet Academy or resigned to being a civilian/Traveler in 2370. This could be an alternate Wesley related to his Traveler powers, or it could signify that he is still an Ensign when aboard the Enterprise.
