Star Trek: Starship Duel II is one of four Star Trek "Micro-Adventure" games created by FASA in 1984. It came out in conjunction with the release of Star Trek III: The Search for Spock.
It allows you to command either the USS Reliant from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, or a Klingon L-9 Frigate (a unique FASA-designed Klingon ship, similar to the D7-class or K't'inga-class cruiser).
Although the box back specifies play for two players, the rules include options for solitaire play as well. It is compatible with the Star Trek: Starship Duel I game for combined play. Presumably, more Starship Duel games were planned, but never produced.
Game Description
From Game Book and Box Back
- You are in command of the Reliant. She is on a mission to the fringes of the Federation space, taking scientific measurements of a great nebular cloud. A Klingon L-9 Class Frigate, on a search and destroy mission, sees the lone Federation vessel, and closes for the kill.
- Power to shields! Power to weapons! Full alert! Your intelligence and skill are about to be tested to the limit, Captain!
- The Starship Duel series by FASA uses a unique and fascinating movement system governed by the Starship Navigation Wheel. Players plot their moves on their wheels then check to see in which view-port the enemy is located. If you were able to outguess your opponent, FIRE!!! Each game includes 2 Starship Navigation Wheels, 2 Statistic cards, 75 counters, 2 dice and the rulebook. All Starship Duel games are interchangable with each other and may be combined for even more fun. A game for 2 players ages 12 and up.
