Star Trek: Starfleet Command III was Activision's attempt to carry on the torch of the Star Trek: Starfleet Command series started by Interplay Entertainment in the late '90s. Due to this, the game's price on the internet (even for used games) is very high, the last game released by Activision for Star Trek ( Star Trek: Elite Force II) also suffered from the same lack of units available for selling in game stores. However, Starfleet Command III, along with Star Trek: Elite Force II never got this opportunity due to the lawsuit which took place between Activision and Viacom in 2003 (the suit has since been resolved).
When the game was originally published by Activision it would have normally run the course of all major PC titles, eventually ending up in the 'Bargain Bin' after a year or so. Star Trek: Starfleet Command III is a Star Trek computer game published in 2002.
