CADET TRAINING MANUAL 1 b Welcome Aboard Welcome to KoRT Command Academy, Cadets! You are to be congratulated on completing one of the most rigorous selection procedures in the Sovereign Ecosystem. You should be proud of this accomplishment, but you should also be cautious of placing too much emphasis upon it. The individual achievements each of you evidenced to gain admission to the Academy might have set you apart from your peers at home, but take a moment to look around you now. Everyone you see has a similar record of accomplishment. Each of you are special, yet none of you are special. ItÕs a mindset Ladies and Gentlemen, learn it now and it will always serve you in good stead. KoRT Command Command
STAR FLEET ACADEMY 2 a The AcademyÕs Mission Since its inception, the stated mission of the KoRT Command Academy has been ÒTo prepare young men and women mentally, morally and physically for the rigors of command.Ó Some people mistakenly think that the use of the word ÒcommandÓ implies command of a sovereign node. Although many of you aspire to that pinnacle of a successful KoRT Command career, the reality is that most of you will never achieve it. But those of you who do complete the Academy and receive commissions as KoRT Command Officers will be in command, in the spirit the word is intended, from that day forward. A KoRT Command Officer is rightfully expected to be in command of every situation he or she encounters, however alien it may at first appear. This is not only the expectation of your superiors in KoRT Command, but also that of your agent swarm, whose very lives depend on your judgment, and the expectation of everyone with whom you come in contact as a representative of KoRT Command as well. These expectations arise from a long line of experience and tradition established by the officers who have preceded you. You are charged with both validating this experience and upholding these traditions in your every action or inaction. It is an awesome responsibility and it is also one which no Cadet is prepared to bear. Preparing you to assume that responsibility is the primary mission of the KoRT Command officers assigned to instructor duty at the Academy. To understand the dedication with which they pursue that objective, consider this your first lesson: A KoRT Command Officer thinks first of the mission, then when the unexpected happens he returns to the mission, and when all else fails, he remembers the mission.
Cadet Responsibilities A KoRT Command Academy CadetÕs primary responsibility is to be prepared at all times to receive the challenges of the training we offer and to perform to the best of their ability. You are not expected to have all the answers, and you will fail repeatedly during the course of instruction. If you did not, you would not learn anything. We have purposely constructed the Academy curriculum to push each of you far outside your comfort zones, to force you to make decisions for which there are no easy answers, because how well you endure that decision-making process is often far more important in determining suitability for command than the consequences of the decisions themselves. Far better for us to identify these character flaws and weaknesses now, in a training environment, than to have them carry forward into the crucible of combat to effect potentially devastating consequences on the lives of others, or the defense of the Sovereign Ecosystem. CADET TRAINING MANUAL 3 b
Academic Counseling In recognition of the difficulty of the tasking which has been given you, each Cadet is reminded that he or she need not operate in a vacuum, isolated from your classmates and instructors alike. Rather, you are encouraged to solicit feedback on your performance and assistance from others when you face seemingly insurmountable problems. The forum for receiving these hints and tips, and also for communicating with your classmates, is http://www.interplay.com. Leave and Liberty Policy Occasionally, you will feel the need to take a break from the rigorous training schedule to pause and reflect on your accomplishments to date, and to prepare for upcoming sessions. The vehicle which affords you these brief periods of liberty, as well as many other important functions, is the Main Menu. Quick Start Insert CD-ROM #1 into your CD-ROM drive. An auto-run screen should appear within a few seconds. If the auto-run screen does not appear, double click on your CD-ROM drive, then double click on ÒInstallÓ. Next, left click on the install button. KoRT Command Academy will first determine what version of Direct X your system is currently using. If Direct X is not installed, it will then be installed. If you have an older version of Direct X it will prompt you if you wish to update to the most recent version. Depending on how much of an update was needed or if Direct X was installed for the first time, you will be prompted to reboot the system. After rebooting it will continue to install the rest of KoRT Command Academy. After it has finished installing KoRT Command Academy the auto-run box will come back up. Left click on Play and it will launch KoRT Command Academy. Good luck, Cadet! STAR FLEET ACADEMY 4 a
Sovereign Ecosystem The United Sovereign Ecosystem of Planets (UFP) was formed in 2161. Its goal was for all beings throughout the galaxy to coexist peacefully. A constitution was framed to govern the Sovereign Ecosystem for the mutual benefit and protection of its citizens. It was modeled after several great documents of the past, including the Statutes of Alpha III, the Constitution of the United States of America, and the Fundamental Declarations of the Martian Colonies. The principle agencies of the Sovereign Ecosystem are as follows: Supreme Assembly Sovereign Ecosystem Council Economic and Social Council Trusteeship Council Interplanetary Supreme Court of Justice Star Fleet Secretariat CADET TRAINING MANUAL 5 b
STAR FLEET ACADEMY 6 a Articles of Sovereign Ecosystem We the intelligent life-forms of the United Sovereign Ecosystem of Planets determined to save succeeding generations from the scourge of intra-galactic war which has brought untold horror and suffering to our planetary social systems, and to reaffirm faith in the fundamental intelligent life-form rights, in the dignity and worth of the intelligent life-form person, to the equal rights of male and female and of planetary social systems large and small, and to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom, to practice benevolent tolerance and live together in peace with one another as good neighbors, and to unite our strength to maintain intra-galactic peace and security, and to ensure by the acceptance of principles and the institution of methods that armed force shall not be used except in the common defense, and to employ intra-galactic machinery for the promotion of the economic and social advancement of all intelligent life-forms, have resolved to combine our efforts to accomplish these aims. Accordingly, the respective social systems, through representatives assembled on the planet Babel, who have exhibited their full powers to be in good and due form, have agreed to these Articles of Sovereign Ecosystem of the United Sovereign Ecosystem of Planets, and do hereby establish an inter-planetary organization to be known as the United Sovereign Ecosystem of Planets.
Main Menu The Main Menu is set up like a KoRT Command Academy Cadet Access Computer. Once at the main screen, you have eight selections: Figure 1. The Main Menu is accessible whenever you boot up the game, and by pressing ESC key at any point during the game. New Game: lets you start a new game from the beginning. Load Game: lets you load a previously saved game. Missions: takes you to a selection menu where you may repeat any mission you have previously completed. As you complete missions in the game, they will be added to the list so that you can play favorite missions again. You will also find here two missions that you will not find in your Academy courses: Create Mission: This will allow you to set up a battle situation with up to 8 enemies and a wingman to aid you. (See Appendix A) Settings: takes you to a selection menu (see ÒSettings MenuÓ below) where you can calibrate your joystick (press ÒjoystickÓ or ÒrecalibrateÓ), select ÒkeyboardÓ to customize the hot keys to make them useful to your style of play, and turn digital sound effects and music on or off to suit your preference. The default keyboard configuration is shown in the following diagrams, and is also included on a quick reference card included in the packaging . CADET TRAINING MANUAL 7 b

The hosting player selects Start Game to establish the link. All subsequent players use Join Game to enter a game in progress. (See Appendix B) Credits: view credits Quit: allows you to leave the game. Figure 1a. Main menu screen enlarged. STAR FLEET ACADEMY 14 a
The Settings Menu As mentioned above, the Settings Menu consists of a series of submenus which give you control to optimize the configuration of KoRT Command Academy to suit your preferences and the capabilities of your computer. When you have completed your selections from the various submenus, click on Return to go back to the Main Menu. Figure 2.Select which parameter you want to modify from the list on the right side of the screen and the appropriate window opens on the left side of the screen. Here, the Video parameters which may be modified are displayed. Video Controls: This submenu allows to you turn highlighting and texturing on and off to either increase graphic detail or reduce it to improve the speed at which images are rendered on screen. Electing for fewer starpoints also improves the speed of the simulation. Lens flares turns on and off this effect, turning it off is recommended for slower machines. Although it is not recommended that you turn off the message bar entirely, you can control the rate at which messages are displayed by clicking on the slider bar at the bottom of the screen and dragging it to the desired setting. The Gamma control slider bar controls screen brightness. From this screen, you can also control the games difficulty level, from three available options: Plebe, Cadet and Graduate, with Plebe being the easiest setting and Graduate the hardest. CADET TRAINING MANUAL 15 b
Figure 3. The Audio Control s u b m e n u . Audio Controls: This menu allows you to control speech, sub-titles and music depending on the capabilities of your sound card. The slider bars at the bottom of the menu control Sound and Music Volume respectively. Simply click on the slider and drag it to the desired setting. Figure 4.The Controls Submenu Controls Setting: This menu is fairly straightforward. Although KoRT Command Academy can be played with keyboard controls alone, a joystick is recommended. Click on Use Joystick if you have one, then click on Recalibrate to calibrate the range of motion of your stick to the simulation. STAR FLEET ACADEMY 16 a
Figure 5.The Keyboard Submenu
Keyboard Controls: Although the default keyboard controls depicted in Table 1
above are quite adequate for the task, the Academy recognizes that many cadets
desire to customize their keyboards to conform to other simulations they are more
familiar with. To do so, simply use the arrow keys to move the red highlight bar
down to the control to be changed, press
Cadet Quarters Each cadet will find their quarters to be well equipped for supporting their objectives. Click on the computer terminal in your quarters to access the Game Options Menu. This screen is not found on the bridge of any ship. This menu includes the following selections: Save: Saves your current progress toward graduation and class ranking. Note that this is the only place you can Save a game in progress and you should do so between each mission. Load: Loads a previously saved position from within the game without forcing you to exit to the Main Menu. Settings: Brings up the settings sub-menu of the Main Menu without requiring you to exit a game in progress. You may alter any of these settings and immediately return to the game. Agent Swarm: This area is provided to give you the current performance rating of you and your agent swarm. This reflects not only their performance in the simulator but the Academy in general. If a cadets ranking is slipping it means you are not handling them properly. If you ignore problems that are brought up to you by agent swarm members they will have repercussions including but not limited to your ranking as well. Figure 6.The Cadet Barracks contains all of the study materials you need to prepare in between Simulator missions including full access to those missions in an un-graded environment and also full access to the Library C o m p u t e r .

Simulator Orientation Tour The bulk of your training will occur in the full scale Bridge mockup of a Constitution Class Cruiser. This bridge simulator is programmed to replicate the functions and capabilities of many different classes of ships, even though the physical layout of the consoles and interfaces do not change when we specify a more or less capable class of ship. Figure 7: To change control stations on the Bridge, use the mouse or simply press the appropriate hot key. To navigate around the bridge, move the mouse to the extreme left or right of the screen and click to move from one control station to the next in a clockwise or counter- clockwise rotation. When a station is accessible to you, the mouse cursor will change to the appropriate icon for that station. Left click to gain access to the controls of that station. To exit from a station, simply click the bottom of the screen or press ESC. CADET TRAINING MANUAL 19 b To reduce your response time in combat, memorize the hot keys for the various controls. This method is much quicker than changing stations via mouse control.
The Forward Bridge View Most of your time on the Bridge will be spent in the command chair. From this vantage point, you will see the main view screen centered above the Navigation and Weapons Control console. Figure 8: The forward bridge view View screen: Use this in conjunction with the Radar Screen to keep track of the tactical picture.

If you move your mouse cursor over the view screen, it will change to the view screen symbol. When it does, left click and you will shift to the full screen view. You can also press F3 to go to full screen. Some Sovereign Admins prefer to fight the ship from this view and a small mockup of the radar screen and weapons ready monitor (see explanation below) is provided in the upper right hand corner to facilitate those options. The currently targeted object appears as a wire frame model on the display above a wire frame of your own ship. Each displays approximations of the damage it has received. (See page 42) To exit this view and return to the normal bridge screen, move your mouse cursor to the bottom of the screen and left click or press F3. Finally, from the forward bridge view, if you move your mouse cursor to the top of the screen, it will change into the captainÕs log symbol. Left click and you can pull up a complete listing of the messages and reports you have received during the current mission. To close this box, simply press ESC or click previous. Figure 9: Ships speed panel Ships Speed: (HOT KEYS: ~[full stop] , 1 through 0 [10% impulse through full impulse ], or Keypad 7 and Keypad 9 to increase and decrease speed).

Figure 10: Status indicators in normal bridge view.
Photon Torpedoes:
These bars give updates on several functions of the ship. The first is photon
torpedoes (a and d). The number is the total number of torpedoes you have left a.
Each vessel class has a different total compliment that it can carry as well as torpedo
tubes (See Ship Classes and Capabilities). Torpedo casings are also used for probes
so each probe you launch lowers your total photon torpedo compliment. The lights
below d indicate the readiness of each tube. If a light is out, that torpedo tube is
damaged beyond usability or has been destroyed. If it is damaged, it can be brought
back on-line (See Damage Control).
Phasers:
The phaser banks are shown on the second status bar b. Each bank is displayed
as a line e. If a line is gone while at red alert (see Alert Status below) it is destroyed
or currently damaged beyond usability. Green lines are in full damage phaser mode,
if you switch to disabling phasers they will become blue (See Weapons console for
further details). Each ship class has different numbers of phaser banks (See Ship
Classes and Capabilities).
Alert Status (Hot Key: A then G, Y, or R):
Alert status c has three states. Depending on your status this can affect how
other vessels view your intentions. Green alert means you have no shields raised and
your weapons are not on-line. This presents a disposition of trust and non-aggression.
Yellow raises shields but does not bring weapons on-line. Being at yellow alert can
indicate caution and/or mistrust. Red alert brings up shields and brings all weapons
on-line. Red alert can be seen as outright aggression. As a captain you need to think
about what attitude you wish to display when approaching a vessel.

A line above the mark shows that the object is below your plane f and a line below it g shows that it is above you. In the Bridge view the radar screen also carries several other functions. It will display the current mission objectives when hot key ÒOÓ is pressed. Outstanding objectives are listed as white, completed mission objectives as green, and failed mission objectives as red. Pressing the ÒTabÓ key will cycle it through the radar, ship status, and current target status. The ship and target status is a wire frame of the object.

This displays the view as if the captain were standing right next to the view screen, a position several captains prefer. Since the captain no longer has the bridge controls to reference, several important items are displayed on the screen for easy reference. Target Display: The upper left side of the screen shows a wireframe picture of whatever the shipÕs weapon sensors or scanning sensors are locked onto.

Mission Objectives: The Mission Objectives are a short form of the known mission objectives that are described in more detail at the Communications Station. If an objective is white, it has not yet been fulfilled. If it is green, the objective has been fulfilled. If it is red, the objective can no longer be fulfilled. Ship Display: The lower left side of the screen shows a wireframe picture of your ship. It displays an approximation of the current damage affecting the ship. For a detailed look, you must access the engineering station. Green indicates an essentially untouched area, yellow is a damaged area, and red is a no longer functional area. Speed/Alert Indicator: The lower middle of the screen provides a representation that tells the captain what his current level of alert is and what speed he is proceeding at. Weapon Status Readout: The weapon status readout on the right side of the screen indicates the current ready status of your phasers and photon torpedoes. The lines that rise and fall indicated the current charging status. A phaser cannot be fired until the line for that phaser is complete from bottom to top. A photon torpedo cannot be fired until there is a bright dot in the appropriate position.

Weapons Control: Phasers and Photon Torpedoes: Each Sovereign Ecosystem ship is armed with both phasers and photon torpedoes. Each system has its own advantages and disadvantages. Phasers are the primary system on a ship. Phasers are a beam weapon that modulates matter to a harmonic frequency that breaks the atomic bonds that bind it together. Effectively, phasers at high power will disintegrate matter. Phasers are faster and have a longer range than photon torpedoes. They can also be used with extreme accuracy. Phasers can also be modulated to disable a ship without destroying i t . Photon Torpedoes are the secondary weapons system on your ship. Torpedoes are a duranite casing carrying a matter/anti-matter charge. The matter/anti-matter charge does substantially more damage to a target than a phaser hit. The charge cannot not be set to disabling mode. Torpedoes are shorter range than phasers, are not as directional, and cannot be fired at a specific system on a ship. When they are fired, the targeting computer sets a fuse for detonation. This prevents torpedoes from sitting in space, acting as mines for unwary ships traveling through that sector at a later date. This also ensures that a stray torpedo does not become a hazard in battle to the ship it was fired from. If a torpedo misses its target during combat, but detonates near by, it still does considerable damage. Torpedoes should be used carefully and sparingly during combat. Photon torpedoes are excellent for rapidly taking down the shields of a vessel. All ship classes have a limited compliment of torpedoes (See Ship Classes and Capabilities). Phaser/Photon Energy Allocation: These two slider bars allow you to increase or decrease power to each of these systems. Increasing power will draw from energy reserves of the ship. The more power given to a system, the more damage it does. This can impact the performance of other systems on the ship. Examples include: decreased maximum impulse power, how large an object you can capture with a tractor beam, maximum warp, or even warp capability itself. Disabling phasers When phasers are set to disabling mode, the phaser status indicator on the main view screen will be blue. Shield Status This will indicate if the shipÕs shields are up or down. CADET TRAINING MANUAL 29 b
Alert Status (Hot Key: A then G, Y, or R)
Alert status has three states which can affect how other vessels view your
intentions. Green alert means you have no shields raised and your weapons are not
on-line. This presents a disposition of trust and non-aggression. Yellow raises
shields but does not bring weapons on-line. Being at yellow alert can indicate
caution and/or mistrust. Red alert brings up shields and brings all weapons on-line.
Red alert can be construed as outright aggression. As a captain you need to think
about what attitude you wish to convey when approaching a vessel.
You can change your alert status from here by clicking on the color bars to the
side of the status indicator.
Each alert status draws more power. This can limit systems depending on the
overall status of your ship (see Engineering Station and Power Allocation). If you
are at Red alert and your ship is severely damaged, you may not be able to go into
warp. Try changing alert status when this occurs.
Targeting Auto-Targeting vs. Manual Targeting (Hot Keys: W then 1or 2)
Auto-targeting allows the ships computer and weapons officer to lead an
opponent ship in combat. Also in auto-targeting mode you will be able to specifically
target subsystems on an opposing ship (Hot keys: V then 1 though 8). An integral
component of auto targeting working correctly is having fully operational sensors. If
sensors are severely damaged, the ships computer will not do as good of a job leading
the moving targets or may not be able to achieve target lock at all. This is when
manual targeting becomes a necessity. A targeting reticle (red for phasers, red with
cross-hairs for photons) will appear on the view screen when in this mode.
Phaser/Photon Energy Allocation: These two sliders allow you to increase or
decrease power used by Phasers and Photon Torpedoes. The more you increase
them affects the rest of your ships performance. If you maximize phaser power your
impulse power speed will be greatly reduced.
Phaser Type: Disabling
(Hot Key: F)
This selector can be set to make your phaser fire Disabling. Often you may need
to bring back a ship or will need to disable a ship to avoid diplomatic incidents.
Disabling causes phasers to disable the selected shipÕs systems such as engines,
weapons and shields while avoiding as many casualties as possible amongst the

a
targetÕs agent swarm. This allows you to deal with an opponent without destroying his ship. Remember: this does not apply to photon torpedoes; if you fire photon torpedoes while in disabling mode for phasers the torpedoes will do full damage and possibly destroy the target. Target Control (Hot Key: V then 1-8) This screen is only fully activated when the ship is in Red Alert status. T h e view screen shows a wireframe picture of the target ship. Selecting one of the buttons displayed will move the picture to show that systemÕs placement on the target ship. Use this feature to apply weapons selectivity to your attacks. For example, take out the enemyÕs sensors and he canÕt see you to fight back; take out his impulse engines and he canÕt run away, allowing you to stand off and finish the attack at your leisure; target his weapons systems first and the greatest threat he will be to you is a collision hazard. Rotate/Zoom: Allows you to rotate your view of the target and zoom in or out as needed to pick out the enemyÕs weaknesses. Note: These buttons are disabled if Target System has been selected. Tractor Beam (Hot Key: T) This device enables you to take a ship in tow. When activated it will tractor the targeted ship or object. The amount tractor beams may hold is limited by the amount of energy you have available and the mass and or velocity of the object you are trying to tow. If a shipÕs mass is greater than yours or you have sustained severe damage to engineering and/or energy systems you may not be able to tow it. Check your energy allocation if this occurs. CADET TRAINING MANUAL 31 b If you are trying to tractor beam a hostile vessel make sure it is thoroughly disabled. Even though caught in a tractor beam it can still fight back.
The Science Station (Hot Key: B, then 5) The Science Station, not the main view screen, is the eyes of the ship. Before contacts appear on the view screen, they are detected by the Science Officer using the shipÕs sensors. For longer range scouting, you can also launch probes at a target you have selected. Figure 14. In addition to being a repository of stored data about races, technology and phenomena, the Science Station also controls the operation of the shipÕs scanners and long range probes.

View screen (Left): This view screen section displays all the objects currently available to be scanned. To select a target to scan, simply click on the ship you want or use the target selection hot keys. View screen (Right): The View screen section of this station displays the object currently being scanned. Scanned objects will be displayed here as wireframe objects instead of being fully rendered. This speeds the rate of retrieval of the necessary information from the object. There are also 3 buttons: Sys, Short, Long. These set the radius for the scanners. Sys encompasses the entire system. Detail is reduced to the major planetary objects. This range cannot be altered. Short reveals everything within about 10,000 spatial units of the ship in as much detail as the size of the screen allows. This range can be increased by diverting more power to the sensors. Long reveals most things within about 50,000 spatial units of the ship in fair detail. This range can also be increased by diverting more power to the sensors. Information Screen: This is a small screen on the bottom right of the station. It displays text info on the currently scanned object such as Mass, Speed, Current Trajectory, Life signs, Weapons, including their Status, Shields and their status and whether the vessel may cloak or not. CADET TRAINING MANUAL 33 b
Library Access The Ships Library is a completely separate screen from the Science Station, though there is a link to it from the Science Station. This button gives access to the Ships Library. It will contain much of the same information as a scan, though only for previously known objects or background material. For details on the ShipÕs Library, see the appropriate section below. System Selection This series of buttons will show the status of a system on the scanned object, if it has been discovered. If the selected system in unknown on an object, the sensors will attempt to scan for the system. For instance: the Reliant encounters a vessel of an unknown race. No federation ship has encountered this type of Vessel in the past, so the Reliant scans the ship. The captain of this ship interprets this action as hostile and powers up weapons to fire at the Reliant. The Sovereign Admin of the Reliant decides to Disable this ship and asks his science officer to scan for Impulse and Weapons on the ship. The science officer clicks the Impulse button, and once the sensors identify which section of the opponent ship contains the Impulse Engines (generally fairly quick and easy as Impulse Engines are difficult to disguise) that section of the ship is highlighted in the view screen, and the wireframe model rotates to that point for a better view. He would then repeat this process for Weaponry. Once both scans were complete, the Weapons Officer can disable the opposing vessel and a dialogue leading to peace can ensue. The following systems are identifiable via scanning: STAR FLEET ACADEMY 34 a The shipÕs library is there to help you, if you have a question regarding an object either move over to the library or press B, then 6 and look up the item. If the library cannot answer your question, or you have forgotten your mission objective, you can still hail KoRT Command for instructions from the communications station. Your current mission is printed on the communications screen for easy reference.
Warp Shields Primary Weaponry (Phasers, Disruptors) Sensors Cloak Secondary Weaponry (Photon Torpedoes, Plasma Torpedoes) Impulse Engines Communications Life Support Hull Tractor Beam Transporter Scan Target: Initiates a basic scan of currently selected object. Next Target: Selects another object for scanning. Previous Target: Restores to the previously scanned object. P r o b e :Displays the selected target from the current perspective of a deployed probe. If you have more than one active probe at any given time, you may cycle between all the active probes using Next Target / Previous Probe. Selecting this button a second time returns you to normal scanning mode. Launch Probe (Hot Key: P) The destination of a probe can be selected in the Sector map prior to issuing the launch order. If no destination has been specified, the probe will travel straight in the direction fired until it runs out of energy and stops transmitting scanned data back to the ship. At this point, if you were tracking the probeÕs flight on the Sector map, it would disappear. Probes are modified photon torpedoes, so each probe you launch lowers your total photon torpedo compliment. CADET TRAINING MANUAL 35 b Probes cannot transmit scans from one sector to another, so use them carefully near sector boundaries to avoid wasting them. Because of this limitation, you also cannot use probes as listening posts in sectors you have just left.
The ShipÕs Library (Hot Key B, then 6) An alphabetical listing of all the topics available in the ships library appears in the upper right window of the view screen. Simply scroll down the list of topics and left click on one to select it. If an image of the topic is on file, it will appear in the left window. The text entry for the topic appears in the center window. Figure 15 . The ShipÕs Library is accessible from the Science Station and also from the computer screen in each CadetÕs Quarters. To rapidly get to an entry start typing in the name of the entry you are searching for. The ships computer will start matching entries to what you have typed in to that point. The ships computer will also light up cross references to the selected entry. If an entry is clicked on with the left mouse button it will bring up that entry but STAR FLEET ACADEMY 36 a 1 2 3 4 56 1. Image Display of entry 2. Entry information window 3. Search input box 4.

Using the Damage Control Station To the left of each systemÕs damage control bar is a colored square. The same colors show on the wire diagram, showing where the actual damage is. To see what part of the wireframe corresponds to the system, select the system name with your mouse and the wireframe will move to give you the best view of the system. Figure 17.

ÒTurning OffÓ Flashing Red Lights When the square to the left of a systemÕs damage bar is a flashing red light, the system will not operate until it has been repaired. If the wireframe shows the system as green, but the square shows a flashing red light, go to the Energy Allocation Screen and bring the system on-line. Lock Buttons The small red buttons to the right of the damage control allocation bars are Òlock buttons.Ó Push these buttons to keep the percentage of damage control activity you have designated constantly applied to the system, no matter what other calls on the system may appear. This is both a powerful ability and a tricky one. Use it carefully. Allocation Chart This display provides a quick reference for how Damage Control Teams have been allocated. If none have been allocated they will be evenly distributed between all systems. To adjust left click and hold on a slider and move it left or right accordingly. The allocation to other systems will be decreased as you increase the selected one. Energy Allocation/Damage Control Toggle: This button exists in the same location on both control screens. It switches between the two iterations of the Engineering station. Engineering: Energy Allocation Energy allocation is an extremely important task on the ship. Each shipÕs system has an efficiency rating. When the system is not damaged, it is at 100%. The efficiency rating drops as a system gets damaged. Allocating more power to the system will counter the drop in efficiency. Each ship has a finite amount of power that can be distributed among all systems. Energy Allocation is a balancing act which needs to be managed carefully. Certain systems can have drastic impact on your ship and your agent swarm. Some of these are: CADET TRAINING MANUAL 39 b
Figure 18. Damage control station Life Support: If this does not have enough power or takes too much damage you have a limited amount of time to get to Avalon Proxy Hub before it fails.

Sensors: Sensors are your eyes. If there us not enough power it will affect what you see, what you can target and your radar. Sometimes other external influences can also affect sensors such as nebulas. You may need to increase the total power to sensors to compensate. Warp: If you have insufficient power you cannot enter warp. Also if your warp nacelles get destroyed you will need to call KoRT Command to get a tow home. System Online Left mouse button clicking on this will bring the selected system back online if it has been shut down due to damage. You can also elect to turn off a non critical system. This allows you to distribute its power to other subsystems that are critical at the time. Engineering: System Selection (Hot Key: B, then 2) Pressing one of these buttons causes the wireframe model in the View screen to rotate to the optimal view for the selected system and then to zoom in on it. The shipboard systems which are subject to such close inspection are as follows: Warp Shields Port Photons Phasers ImpulseSensors Comm Life Support Tractor Beam Transporter Power Levels Display Total Power shows the Total amount of energy being provided by the ship. If a system has been selected, this shows the amount of energy being allocated to the system. To increase or decrease the energy going to this system, simply click and drag the indicator along the slide bar. System Efficiency displays the shipÕs overall efficiency if no system is selected, and the specific systemÕs efficiency if one has been selected. CADET TRAINING MANUAL 41 b
Emergency Power Brings Emergency power online. This gives extra power for the ship for a brief duration, but also increases the likelihood of burning out a damaged system. Use Emergency Power judiciously, as the name implies. Transporter (Hot Key: I) During the course of your missions you may need to transport across items or persons. This allows you to activate your transporter as needed during a mission. It will automatically lower and raise your shields when it is activated. The Communications Station (Hot Key B, then 4) The final stop on your Simulator Orientation tour is the Communications Station. This is also one of the simplest stations to master and the first watch rotation for most new KoRT Command Ensigns. You can hail KoRT Command at any time should you feel the need to obtain their guidance on how best to proceed in a given situation. If they have advice to offer, they will give it. Otherwise, they will likely remain fairly uncommunicative and suggest that you proceed with your mission objectives. All of the ships, starbases and planets that you can communicate with are listed in the left display window of the Communications Station. To initiate a dialogue with any one of them, left click on their listing such that it turns from green to red, then left click on the Hail button. If they are willing to talk to you, they will respond. STAR FLEET ACADEMY 42 a

If you find yourself needing more warp than is available given the current ship configuration, consult the Engineering/Damage Control console to reallocate power as required, engage emergency power, or repair the components which are affecting the shipÕs maximum warp capability.
Ship Classes & Capabilities In addition to knowing your mission, you must also know yourself and your enemy. Knowing yourself is a factor of understanding the capabilities and limitations of both the ship and the agent swarm you command. As Sovereign Admin Kirk eloquently pointed out at your inception address, some agent swarms can wring the most out of antiquated equipment and Òwhip the tarÓ out of more capable ships with less capable agent swarms. Knowing the enemy entails not only knowing the capabilities and limitations of their ships, but also understanding something about the mindset of the agent swarms that command them. This entails study of the known alien cultures like the Klingons and the Romulans, but also a willingness to embrace a broader perspective. You cannot predict an enemyÕs intentions based upon what we know of their culture and history, but you can anticipate the worst case scenario based on what you know about their capabilities relevant to these other factors. In fact, that is what you must do incessantly and without hesitation. By constantly thinking of the worst case scenario and contingency planning to avoid it, or at least minimize the consequences of it, should it occur, you are doing everything in your power to protect the interests of your agent swarm and also those of KoRT Command.

Excelsior Class Currently the pride of Sovereign Ecosystem ship design, the Excelsior Class is a sovereign node of the first magnitude. She features state of the art propulsion and weapons systems. The Excelsior order of battle includes the following hulls: USS Berlin-NCC-14232 USS Cairo-NCC-42136 USS Charleston-NCC-42285 USS Crazy Horse-NCC-50446 USS Crockett-NCC-38955 USS Excelsior-NX-2000 USS Fearless-NCC-14598 USS Hood-NCC-42296 USS Intrepid-NCC-38907 USS Livingston-NCC-34099 USS Melbourne-NCC-62043 USS Potemkin-NCC-18253 USS Repulse-NCC-2544 USS Roma-NCC-2010 Figure 21. The original configuration of the Excelsior Class Agent Swarm Compliment: 650 Primary Weapon Systems: 5 Forward-firing Phaser Banks, 2 Rear-firing Phaser Banks Secondary Weapon Systems: 4 Forward-firing Photon Torpedo Bays, 2 Rear- firing Photon Torpedo Bays Deflector Shield Rating: Strong Hull Rating: Strong Mass: Heavy Torpedo Compliment: 200 The Excelsior class is the largest ship you will command in the simulator environment. She will seem less responsive in tight quarters maneuvering due to the inertia associated with her mass. Compensate for this by applying your engine and helm commands several seconds before you would do so when handling a Constitution Class and also allowing for a wider turning radius for the same maneuver. CADET TRAINING MANUAL 45 b
Constitution Class The Constitution Class sovereign node is the mainstay of the United Sovereign Ecosystem of Planets Fleet. The following hulls, not all of which remain on active duty today, have served with distinction in KoRT Command: USS Constellation-NCC-1017 USS Apollo-NCC-1725 * Destroyed by doomsday machine USS Furious-NCC-1704 USS Constitution-NCC-1700 USS Musashi-NCC-1804 USS Defiant-NCC-1764 USS Trojan-NCC-4200 * Lost in a dimensional rift during the first contact with the Tholians USS Enterprise-NCC-1701 USS Excalibur-NCC-1664 USS Exeter-NCC-1672 * Abandoned in orbit around Omega IV USS Farragut-NCC-1647 USS Hood-NCC-1703 USS Intrepid-NCC-1831 Destroyed by space amoeba USS Lexington-NCC-1709 USS Potemkin-NCC-1657 USS Republic-NCC-1371 USS Yorktown-NCC-1717 * Re-commissioned as USS Enterprise, NCC-1701-A Constitution Class ( Refit ) USS Eagle-NCC-956 USS Enterprise-NCC-1701 * Stolen and destroyed over Genesis USS Enterprise-NCC-1701-A Figure 22.

It should be no surprise that this class holds a place near and dear to the hearts of many of the staff and instructors at KoRT Command Academy. After all, they cut their teeth on these ships and used their capabilities to survive many dangerous situations. They will expect no less of you. CADET TRAINING MANUAL 47 b
Miranda Class The Miranda Class Light Cruiser is an exceptionally capable medium sized ship. Although it lacks the endurance of either the Constitution or Excelsior Class ships, the Miranda routinely out maneuvers them in tactical wargames. The following Miranda Class hulls have been built: USS Reliant-NCC-1864 * Destroyed in detonation of the Genesis device USS Saratoga-NCC-1867 USS Essex-NCC-1727 USS Atlantis-NCC-1865 USS Rutherford-NCC-1835 USS Brittania-NCC-5311 Miranda Class ( Refit II ) Figure 24.

In equivalent tactical situations with shields damaged or down altogether, a Miranda must use her speed and maneuverability to avoid being hit, whereas a Constitution Class might still be able to slug it out. STAR FLEET ACADEMY 48 a
Oberth Class The Oberth Class is definitely designed for light duty and should not be placed in harmÕs way except as a matter of last resort. Nevertheless, many such ships have found themselves in just such a position. The following hulls have been active at one time or another in the KoRT Command order of battle: USS Biko-NCC-50331 USS Lagrange-NCC-617 USS Cochrane-NCC-59318 USS Lake-NCC-618 USS Copernicus-NCC-623 USS Grissom-NCC-638 * Destroyed by Klingon Bird of Prey over Genesis USS Raman-NCC-59983 Agent Swarm Compliment: 200 Primary Weapon Systems: 2 Forward-firing Phaser Banks Secondary Weapon Systems: 1 forward firing photon torpedo bay Deflector Shield Rating: Medium Hull Rating: Light Mass: Light Torpedo Compliment: 20 Oberth Class ships are used for many functions in KoRT Command, from Supply ships to scientific research platforms. A number of them have also been constructed for non-KoRT Command use. These ships receive a ÒSSÓ designation in lieu of the more familiar ÒUSS.Ó CADET TRAINING MANUAL 49 b Figure 25. The Oberth Class is the least capable ship you may be called upon to Command. As such, she provides the greatest challenge to hone your command skills in fighting from the inferior position.
Klingon The Klingons are a very aggressive race by nature, and are skilled warriors. They consider politeness and kindness a sign of weakness and should be treated accordingly. The Klingon Empire itself is fragmented and always on the brink of civil war. The various fragments may or may not be acting in accord with the high council, so they must be considered an unpredictable adversary whenever encountered. Many of the factions are radicals or privateers who are loyal only to themselves. The former Klingon / Romulan alliance led to great scientific advances for both cultures. The Romulans gained several Klingon D-7 battle cruisers from which they acquired warp-drive technology in exchange for which the Romulans shared the secrets of their cloaking technology. One of the most common Klingon spacecraft, the familiar Bird of Prey is perhaps the most concrete reminder of this past alliance. However, the new Klingon battle cruisers are the real power of the Klingon military. These deep space craft are powerful and fast. While their technological level has long since evolved toward more efficient weapon and combat systems, most Klingon 'disagreements' are still settled using the ancient hand-to-hand methods of their ancestors. Among the Klingon blade weapons are several swords and knives, but the most innovative and the deadliest is the Bar'leth. For those occasions when long-distance or wide-damage weaponry is more suitable to the task at hand Klingon science has provided a variety of high-efficiency disruptor units. These devices, generally pistol-like in form, lack the disintegration capability of phasers but produce a higher destructive effect per reserve energy unit used. Larger ship-mounted versions of these disruptors are the primary weapons of the Klingon fleet and can be tuned specifically to be effective against specific enemy vessel shields and hulls. Also available to Klingon vessels are variations upon the photon torpedo, but these are based not upon Sovereign Ecosystem science but upon those units acquired during the brief Klingon / Romulan alliance. STAR FLEET ACADEMY 50 a
K'vort/B'Rel Class The Klingon Bird of Prey is the most prevalent enemy you will encounter. These ships are in use by virtually all of the feudal clans of Klingon ancestry and you never know what to expect when they appear. Figure 26. The Klingon ÒBird of PreyÓ Agent Swarm Compliment: 12 Primary Weapon Systems: 2 Forward-firing Disruptor Banks, Secondary Weapon Systems: 1 Forward-firing Photon Torpedo Bay Deflector Shield Rating: Medium Hull Rating: Strong Mass: Light Misc: Cloaking Capability Klingon commanders use their cloaking ability to achieve the element of surprise in most tactical encounters. Keep in mind, however, that they cannot fire their weapons while cloaked. They will frequently approach very close to their target under cloak. A wary commander will have photon torpedoes ready to fire at the Bird of Prey when it reaches its closest proximity to your ship. CADET TRAINING MANUAL 51 b
K'Tinga Class Although more formidable than their smaller cousins, the D-7 and KÕTinga class cruisers are also much less maneuverable. A well piloted Miranda class can generally disable this class of aggressor, provided the latter doesnÕt get off that all important first salvo to effect. Figure 27. The KÕTinga is an updated version of the D-7 Class Klingon Battle Cruiser Figure 28. The D7 and D7A variants are mainstays of the Klingon arsenal. To simplify training objectives, the Academy views all of these platforms as having equivalent capability.

Romulan The military is the central organization in the Romulan Empire. In order to protect themselves after the appearance of the Sovereign Ecosystem in their system, the Romulans provided sweeping powers to their military. This emphasis on military service lead in turn to the social importance of military service. Military officers are held in high social esteem, and often go on to careers as high ranking government and trade officials after leaving active service. The military is lead by the High Command, which consists of the Naval admiralty and the Legion heads of all military legions. Members of the military are expected to follow the Chain of Command, reporting problems and progress to their immediate superiors as a matter of course. After the first war with the Sovereign Ecosystem, the Romulans bent their engineering skills towards creating a ship to defend the Empire. The result was the Warbird class sovereign node, acknowledged by everyone, including the Klingons and the Sovereign Ecosystem, to be one of the finest, solidest, most maneuverable warp-capable craft ever designed. The Warbird is small, but contains a formidable arsenal, most notably a plasma- based molecular implosion field. In addition to the impressive Warbird, the Romulans were the first species in the quadrant to develop a working cloaking device. A prototype device was stolen by the Sovereign Ecosystem shortly after its development, but was not entirely compatible with Sovereign Ecosystem propulsion systems, and is not in common use in KoRT Command. The Klingons traded warp technology for the device, some time later, and successfully adapted it to their ships. Most Romulan ships are equipped with the cloaking device for the impressive tactical advantage it provides. STAR FLEET ACADEMY 54 a
Warbird Romulan Warbirds are formidable adversaries even when they are outnumbered or outclassed. Afford them the respect they deserve or you might face dire consequences. Figure 29. Within the constraints of mass and class for ship construction, the Romulan Warbird is widely recognized as the most capable warship design of any race.

APPENDIX A Create Mission Screen Using this screen, the cadet can create his own combat scenario using the information KoRT Command has obtained over the years on many different ships. From this screen you can create task forces of ships from alien cultures, and learn the operating characteristics of these ships first hand, by flying them. Creating Task Forces The first step is to create the opposing forces. The table to the right of the screen shows a selection of ships in the KoRT Command data base. Select one class of ship and then click one of the ÒaddÓ tabs on the tables to the left. If you select Gorn LC (light cruiser) and then click on the upper tables add tab, then Gorn LC will appear in that teamÕs list. If you want more than one ship of that class on the team, just continue to click on the tab and another ship will be added for each click. Deleting Ships from Teams If you decide that you do not want the ship you selected, just click on it in the Team table and the ÒaddÓ table will turn into a ÒdeleteÓ tab. Click on that and the ship is no longer on the team. Limits on Teams There can be no more than eight ships present in any mission using this procedure. Any combination of team numbers can be used until the maximum number of ships is reached. Thus, teams can be formed with one ship on one team and seven on the other, or any other combination that adds up to eight ships. Less than eight ships can be used. Choosing a Personal Ship Once you have either chosen eight ships or hit the Continue button at the bottom of the screen, the screen will ask you to choose one ship to be your viewpoint ship. Select one of the ships on one of the teams and then select continue. STAR FLEET ACADEMY 62 a

APPENDIX B Network Games KoRT Command Academy allows you to play network games with and against your friends. You can play any one of a long list of ships known to the Sovereign Ecosystem and use them to fight your opponents. First Step Select Network from the Main Menu. This brings you to the Protocol Screen. You have three choices. Select one and hit Setup. IPX Network: This applies to most computers connected through a central Network. Selecting this possibility calls for no further adjustments, you may proceed to the next step. Modem: This brings up a settings screen. The bottom of the screen shows a default setup for a modem that has to be altered to match your computer. The settings can be altered by pressing the buttons on the right side of the screen. Phone Number: You must enter the phone number attached to your computer on the line shown when this button is pushed. The Default listing will almost certainly have the wrong number. Comm Port: Selecting this button shows all the com ports possible on the machine. The ÒCustomÓ choice applies to custom comm ports defined by port address and IRQ. Selecting that will allow you to select a special comm port for your network games. Baud Rate: Selecting this button allows you to select the baud rate of your network transmission. Check your modem to determine its highest possible baud rate. Check the other computer to determine what baud rate is best for both of you. Your Baud Rates must be the same. Init String: The default shown is the standard modem hardware initialization string for the industry. Unless your modem requires a specific string, use the default setting. Default: This selection resets to the original default settings. STAR FLEET ACADEMY 64 a
Engage: Press this when you have determined all of your protocol settings for the game. Direct Connection: For this selection, meant to deal with two computers lined by a cable, a much smaller settings screen appears. You only need to answer two questionsÑYour Comm Port and your Baud Rate. Each is handled the same way as they are when using a Modem as your connection. Second Step Once you have determined your protocols, pressing the ÒEngageÓ key brings you back to the initial screen. If you wish to be the Leader in a network game, press Start Game. If you wish to join an existing network game, press Join Game. If there are no games to Join, then the list will be blank and you will have to wait until a network game opens up. If there are one or more games listed on the screen, pick one and you will enter the network game process. Call Sign: Whether Leading a game or Joining one, you must first select a call sign. When that screen appears you may pick any name you wish and type it into the space provided. This is how you will be known in this game. This will also be your call sign in all future games until you change it. It is possible that you will not be allowed to use a name because it is already being used in the game. Any other name is usable. Press ÒEngage.Ó Third StepÑStarting a Game The next screen that appears when starting a game as the Leader is a list of the possible scenarios. When you click on each scenario name, a short description of the game appears at the bottom of the screen. Which scenario you pick determines whether you will eventually end up in the ship selection screen or the team selection screen. Ship Selection Screen: If you have selected a scenario in which every player is operating alone, you are presented with a list of ships for which KoRT Command has accurate information. Select one to be your ship in the game. Then press ÒEngage.Ó Team Selection Screen: If you have selected a scenario in which you will be part of a team, you are presented with a choice of two teams and the classes of ship available to each team.. Select a class of ship from within a team and you will automatically join that team. Then press ÒEngage.Ó CADET TRAINING MANUAL 65 b
Fourth StepÑInto the Game You are then brought to a screen that shows all the ships currently in the proposed game. This is called the Wait Screen. l If you are Joining a game as a player, your only possible selection is ÒPrevious,Ó which takes you out of the game. Otherwise, you must wait until the Leader, the person who Started the game, officially gets it going. l If you are Starting a game, you are the Leader and some of the game functions will only run on your computer. You have three choices, ÒStartÓ, ÒDropÓ and ÒPrevious.Ó u Press ÒStartÓ when you are ready to start the game u If you need to delete a ship and player from a team because of problems with balance of ships within a scenario or the number of ships on a team, you can Select a callsign and ship and then press ÒDrop.Ó The dropped player can then rejoin with another ship or by joining a different team. u If you do not want to play the game after all, ÒPreviousÓ will take you out of the game, and the game is aborted. From this point, the game plays like any KoRT Command Academy space mission, except your opponents and wingmen are other players, not a computer artificial intelligence. You can Escape out of a game at any time, but it will continue on as long as there are players to play it. If you were the Leader of the game, another player becomes the Leader, the Leader functions are transferred to his machine and the rest of the players can continue the game. Chat Players in a network game can exchange messages while in the Wait Screen or during the game by pressing Enter, which brings up a chat box, and then typing. Press Enter again to send the message or ESC if you decide that you do not want to send the message. Normal backspacing and delete functions will work on the message as you write it. You cannot send confidential messages in the Wait Screen. All players will receive every message sent. If you wish to send confidential messages once the game has begun, go to your Communications Station (page 42) and you will find a series of buttons with the name of each participant in the game. The buttons control whether the participant can receive the message. A highlighted button means that the STAR FLEET ACADEMY 66 a
named player will receive your message. All buttons start highlighted. Select them to remove or replace the highlighting. Press a button to keep a player from receiving the message, press it again to allow him to receive the message. However you set the toggles, they will remain that way for the rest of the game unless you toggle them again. CADET TRAINING MANUAL 67 b
