About

You replay the recovery of the USS Heinlein, which was under the command of Captain Sulu when it got lost under suspicious circumstances in the 145 Trianguli area while on a classified mission.

The main reason for simulating the incident is to ascertain if the rescue mission is a viable alternative for the Kobayashi Maru training mission for space cadets at Starfleet Academy.
