They call it the\u00a0Kobayashi Maru, a punishing, stressful, impossible to win training simulation meant to test the character of leaders in an unwinnable scenario. It is a critical part of\u00a0Star Trek<\/em><\/strong><\/a> lore, and one of the most famous scenarios ever faced by the characters. Now, fans of the universe can take on the Kobayashi Maru challenge for themselves and see if they’d do any better against impossible odds.<\/p>\n

The Kobayashi Maru challenge is rather straightforward in its setup: a Starfleet cadet<\/a> enters a simulated scenario where they are tasked\u00a0with rescuing a civilian ship named the Kobayashi Maru. Unfortunately, the ship is stranded in the Klingon Neutral Zone, and entering the area would certainly be seen as an act of aggression that could spark a conflict between the Klingons and Starfleet.<\/p>\n

So, the challenge becomes a more philosophical one<\/a>: does the commander of the ship charge into the Neutral Zone in a desperate attempt to save the civilians? Or do they respect the neutrality, leaving them to certain death? Those who do attempt to save the ship are then thrust into situations where they cannot escape, cannot fight effectively, and ultimately, cannot survive.<\/p>\n
