+Cloak
+
+
+ Mnemonic: CLOAK
+ Shortest abbreviation: CLOAK
+ Full commands: CLOAK ON
+ CLOAK OFF
+
+
+The cloaking device prevents your ship from being seen by any enemy
+vessels. When the cloaking device is in use, your subspace radio will
+not receive transmissions, torpedoes will be less accurate, you cannot
+dock, and you cannot use your warp engines. Enemy ships will get a
+chance to attack you when you turn cloaking on.
+
+The Treaty of Algeron with the Romulans in Stardate 2311 prohibits the
+use of cloaking devices. If a Romulan ship observes you cloaking or
+uncloaking after this point in time you will be in violation, which
+will hurt your final score.
+
+The Faerie Queene does not have a cloaking device.
+
+
+Capture
+
+
+Mnemonic: CAPTURE
+Shortest abbreviation: CA
+Full commands: CAPTURE
+
+
+Ask a Klingon To surrender.
+
+The capture command provides a more humane way to end a battle than
+just destroying the Klingon battleship with the crew aboard. Assuming
+the subspace radio and transporter are working, and there is room in
+the brig, this command will ask the captain of the weakest Klingon
+ship in the quadrant to surrender. If the captain agrees, some of the
+crew will transport to your ship and the Klingon ship will be
+destroyed. This command does take time and you will be attacked by any
+other enemy ships if the surrender occurs.
+
+When you dock, any captured Klingons will be transferred to the base
+and you will be credited with the lives you save.
