Netrek

    A 16-player graphical real-time battle simulation
   with a Star Trek theme.  The game is divided into two teams of
   eight (or less), who dogfight each other and attempt to
   conquer each other's planets.  There are several different
   types of ships, from fast, fragile scouts up to big, slow
   battleships; this allows a great deal of variance in play
   styles.  Netrek is played using a client to connect to one
   of several Netrek servers on the Internet.  There is a
   metaserver which distributes details of games in progress on
   other servers.
