[edit] General Information

Released on February 5th, 1993, it is almost entirely a parody of Star Trek. It is also the first in the series to not be designed by the Two Guys From Andromeda: only Mark Crowe worked on the project at Dynamix (using the company's game engine), leading to a somewhat altered sense of humor.

[edit] Synopsis

We find Roger is now a cadet of StarCon Academy. He then graduates as the captain of the SCS Eureka, a space garbage scow which comes with a command bridge and several officers that he can give orders to (such as "activate cloaking device", to which the technical officer responds with a suggestion to paint the ship black...)

Of course, nothing in Roger's life ever proceeds normally. He ends up finally meeting the mysterious blonde woman introduced as his future wife in SQ4, who catapults him into uncovering a trashy (literally) conspiracy that could prove to be the doom of the universe (again)...
