The company is a successor to Task Force Games,[2] and is owned and operated by Steve and Leanna Cole, with partner Steve Petrick, and based in Amarillo, Texas . The company created and developed the series of games set in the Star Trek-based Star Fleet Universe, under license from Paramount Pictures,[3] which includes the tactical combat games Star Fleet Battles[4] and Federation Commander, the strategic-level game Federation and Empire, the card-based tactical game Star Fleet Battle Force and the role-playing game Prime Directive.
