Playable empires in Star Fleet Battles include familiar ones from the aforementioned series and new ones invented by the game's designers: The Federation, Klingons, Romulans, Gorn, Kzinti, Orion Pirates, and Tholians belong to the first group, and from the second group we have the Lyrans, Hydrans, Andromedans, WYN and ISC. Due in part to licensing issues and in part to the desired flavor of the game, Star Fleet Battles is based solely on Star Trek: The Original Series, Star Trek: The Animated Series, the Franz Joseph Star Trek Star Fleet Technical Manual (which is where the official SFB licence is tied to) and some other blueprints available in the late 70s the movies and later series are not considered Star Fleet Battles-canonical and the two 'verses have diverged considerably note X Ships originally drew their inspiration from Star Trek: The Motion Picture, right down to a photon torpedo launcher in the nose of the Klingon X battlecruiser but these were quickly altered when Paramount claimed copyright infringement.
