Welcome to Netrek

This is the official home page. Netrek is a multi-player battle simulation with a Star Trek theme. As a player, you captain starships to engage enemy vessels, bomb armies and invade planets in order to expand your team's space empire. The ultimate goal is to genocide the enemy race, but the carnage of battles along the way is ruthlessly fast paced and a lot of fun!



It's a team-oriented game with realtime dogfighting but involving a lot of ongoing strategy.

It costs no money to play, there are no ads, and it's open source.

New Utility: Netrek Game On!

There's a brand new utility for Netrek called "Netrek Game On!". It checks the metaservers and lets you know how many players are on line. It's in Java and should run on Windows, Linux, or Macintosh. Under Windows, you can iconize it to the task bar and keep an eye on when to play. Grab the latest version from the files section.
