Awesome Music / Star Trek Expanded Universe

Go To

  • Star Trek Online:
    • Most of the music in the game is merely okay. And then you start fighting Romulans.
    • The main theme starts off with a classic Trek feel, then halfway through kicks off into a rousing orchestra piece that makes you want to jump into your ship and take on the whole galaxy.
    • Legacy of Romulus has a truckload of great music, as befits its status as the game's Growing the Beard expansion pack. Particular highlights:
      • The primary theme for New Romulus. You'll hear this primarily in the Staging Area, but you can hear it anywhere, since it's long.
      • The "Virinat theme" greets newbie Romulans and is the theme of the colony while it's at peace. Later on, it also serves as cruising/ambient music for when you're doing various heroic things as a Romulan character - since you never forgot Virinat and are carrying on its legacy.
      • The already awesome Romulan battle theme gets new variations that are usually played when fighting the Tal Shiar or Elachi as a Romulan.
    • The 2017 First Contact Day probably gave players the best music to launch model Phoenix Warp Rockets to: Steppenwolf's "Magic Carpet Ride", the same song used in Star Trek: First Contact.
  • Star Trek: Starfleet Command: The soundtrack of the first game was composed by Ron Jones, who was fired from Star Trek: The Next Generation because the producers thought his music was "too epic". Highlights include the badass Romulan march, the tribal-retro Lyran theme, and pretty much everything else.
  • A Klingon Challenge actually manages to have better music than a lot of contemporary Star Trek episodes. Stand-outs include the theme played when Kavok beams aboard the Enterprise and hijacks the ship, and the Jaws-like theme that slowly builds up in intensity as the Enterprise approaches the Klingon homeworld during the final five or so minutes of the game.
