Star Trek: Armada II is a real-time strategy video game published by Activision in 2001, based upon the Star Trek universe.[4] The game was developed by Mad Doc Software. It is the sequel to Star Trek: Armada. Star Trek: Armada II was released by Activision a year after they acquired the full rights to all the franchise holding of the video game's franchise from Viacom.[citation needed] It was the first of the three major Star Trek video game sequel titles[citation needed] that were released by Activision from 2001 until their departure from the franchise in 2003.[5] On December 13, 2021, both Armada and Armada II were re-released on GoG.com, which had also released several other older Star Trek titles earlier that year.[6]

Like its predecessor, Armada II is set in the Star Trek: The Next Generation era of the Star Trek universe.[7] The game showcases events in the Alpha Quadrant between the United Federation of Planets, the Klingon Empire, the Romulan Star Empire, the Cardassian Union, Species 8472, and the Borg.
