  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.
