       If you like the cold war aspects of the first series then 
you should like Klingon Academy. It's does have cold war and 
civil war aspects to it.

        I'm gonna finally play Independence War 1 and 2. I 
bought both of them years ago and only played a few missions of 
the first game. I got stuck and forgot about it. But your 
description has me interested in finishing these two games.
