Trivia:

The title "The Drawn Line" is a reference to Picard's line in Star Trek: First Contact (1996) when talking about the Borg: "They assimilate entire worlds and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, no further!". In this case, it's the Cardassians who push through Federation lines.

Goofs:

Continuity: The course heading that Saffi orders to Kiska towards Starbase 12 (30.79/15) is incorrectly given. It should have been noted as XXX/YYY being both values a 000-359 degrees angle from the ship's position to the destination point. No decimal numbers, or two-digit numbers are used. The course notation was stated by Wesley Crusher in the _"Star Trek: The Next Generation" Datalore (1988)_.

Quotes:

Lt. Felix Savali: I'm picking up another contact...! Sir, it's the Enterprise!

Movie Connections:

Spin off from "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" (1993)

Good game , great graphics

I went into this one with mediocre expectations, but it turned out to be a good game. The graphics are simply stunning, the detailed textures and the attention that has gone into making it as realistic (as in the series/movies) must be applauded. The gameplay sometimes gets a bit tedious, like fly to solar system X, investigate anomaly, and fight the Cardassians or Romulans or unknown aliens, but it kept me going nevertheless, since I wanted to see what happened next. If you're into space sims and Trek, get this one.
