Exciting new mail from Aspyr Media this morning brings the word that Star Trek: Elite Force II is now shipping for OS X. The game, which underwent a lengthy approval process, will soon be in the hands of Mac gamers everywhere.

Promising even more action than the original Elite Force, the sequel moves the Hazard Team from the "Voyager" series to the popular "Next Generation" universe. Here's a description from the press release:

players can expect to face off against classic Star Trek antagonists such as the Borg, Klingons and Romulans. Players will also fight several never before seen alien species including a mysterious nightmare race. To help players gain the upper hand against such formidable foes, Star Trek Elite Force II allows players to arm themselves with 13 different weapons and gear including a phaser, compression rifle, multi-functional grenade launcher, Romulan disruptor, tetryon gatling gun, a full-featured tricorder, and several all-new weapons.

Over the course of the Star Trek Elite Force II, players will be able to explore different options or tactics when dealing with a threat, as opposed to being forced to pursue a particular path. Additionally, the game boasts a larger number of environments and a significantly longer gaming experience than the first Elite Force.
