+<p>SST is fairly closely related to Eric Allman's BSD Trek, which also started
+life as a C translation of UT Super Star Trek.  BSD Trek is missing most of
+the post-1978 features of SST2K, but does add a cloaking device for the

+Collective as the villains) and has a fancy graphical interface.</p>
