Star Trek: D-A-C is a video game tie-in for the movie Star Trek, released in May 2009 as a downloadable game for the Xbox 360 and in November of that year for Playstation 3 and PC. The game features two factions, either Federation or Romulan and five types of ship per faction. The game has no narrative, it is a simple top-down combat game, with four modes of game play; Death-match, Assault, Conquest (the titular DAC), and Survival mode (which was added with the latter release of the game). The game can be played either entirely single player with computer controlled enemy and allied units, or online, either in a team of players against computer enemies units, or entirely populated with up to twelve players playing with and against each other.

Publisher's description[]

From the Paramount website
Star Trek®: D-A-C is a fast-paced, top-down space shooter inspired by the new motion picture. This pick-up and play game allows you and your friends to choose from five classes of starships (including the all-new U.S.S. Enterprise flagship class) and battle it out online! Command the large and durable Flagship, the nimble Fighter, the devastating Bomber, the indispensable Support Frigate, or obliterate hostiles with the powerful Missile Cruiser. Each ship class has their own unique strengths and capabilities. But be careful, as each of these classes also have their weaknesses, and only the best commanders will be able to minimize these shortcomings. Enlist in Starfleet or join the Romulan Empire as you battle with up to 11 friends. Engage the enemy in unique game play modes, including: Online Versus, Online Co-op, and Survival mode, a single player experience that pits the player against wave after wave of Romulan enemies and features exciting new Super Special Pickups, unique enemy ship classes, and more.

Timeline[]

No dates are given in the game, however it features the USS Enterprise which is launched in 2258 in the movie Star Trek so presumably takes place some time after the events of that film. However, it is clear from recent publications that this video game is set after Vulcan's Vengeance, Part 2 because the Narada's designs were acquired by the Romulans at this time.
