Star Trek: Attack Wing is a multi-player game set within the Star Trek "universe". It is produced by WizKids and premiered at retail in August 2013.

Players assume the roles of commanders who customize, upgrade, and assign famous crew members to their starship fleets. Players and their fleets then compete against each other in various combat and exploration scenarios during the game.

Starter game box

These fleets are drawn from factions such as the Borg, the Dominion, and the Federation. Fleets have their special statistics, abilities, and maneuvers displayed on separate "HeroClix Combat Dials". For its gaming mechanics, a unique version of the "FlightPath maneuver system" is used, under license from Fantasy Flight Games. [1]

Additional gaming scenarios, unique starships, and a space station are playable on maps distributed through a series of Organized Play Program tournament events. [2]

Attack Wing promo

Many of the game's painted ship miniatures are very similar to those produced for the Star Trek: Tactics game but Attack Wing's Federation ships do not have names or registries painted onto them. Unpainted versions of some of Attack Wing's starship miniatures were also released earlier in the Star Trek: Fleet Captains game and later in the Star Trek: Frontiers game. For this game, a number of these ships feature alternate paint schemes or have been reproduced in translucent plastic.

Attack Wing also introduces a number of new canon starship miniatures to the public. Some of these designs had never been produced or retailed by a licensed company before. Some starships have names and registries borrowed from non-canon sources including Star Trek novels and the Star Trek Customizable Card Game.
