The no-win scenario
You command a starship on the edge of the Klingon Neutral Zone. A distress call comes in: the fuel carrier Kobayashi Maru has struck a mine inside the zone. 381 people are aboard, and her life support is failing.
Going in breaks the treaty with the Klingon Empire. Staying out leaves them to die.
Every cadet takes this test, and nobody beats it. The examiners grade how you lose.
Each turn you give one order, and the simulation answers.

The Kobayashi Maru has no winning answer. It shows the examiners how you face one.
