| abstract | - Star Trek: Tactics premiered at retail in February 2012 and includes thirty-three ships from the Federation and Klingon factions. The starter kit and booster pack ships utilize the "Clix" system of game play and are compatible with WizKids' long-running series of "HeroClix" games. In the starter game, two or more players command multi-generational fleets of starships while representing either the Federation Starfleet or the Klingon Defense Force. Booster pack ships are sold in sealed "blind boxes" without printed information about which ship is inside, similar to the marketing model used by gashapon toy manufacturers in Japan. Unpainted versions of all of the ship molds from the first Tactics game were released earlier in the Star Trek: Fleet Captains game. Later installments of Tactics saw WizKids introduce a number of Star Trek starship designs which had not been produced as licensed miniatures before. The company released the Star Trek: Attack Wing game in August 2013. [1] Apart from being mounted on different stands, many of its painted ships are very similar to those released in the Tactics line. Unlike Tactics, Attack Wing's Federation ships do not have names or registry numbers painted onto their hulls and can be used to depict a number of different starships. In 2016, mono-colored versions of some of these starship molds were used again for WizKids' Star Trek: Frontiers game.
