Geocache Description:

In honor of the updated Star Trek series and the Kobayshi Maru simulation, an updated cache.


The cache location has recently undergone a complete transformation, with the former structure being updated and replaced eliminating the caches former home. In doing so, the cache went missing.

The Kobayashi Maru is a test in the fictional Star Trek universe. It is a Starfleet training exercise designed to test the character of cadets in the command track at Starfleet Academy. The Kobayashi Maru test was first depicted in the opening scene of the film Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and also appears in the 2009 film Star Trek. The test's name is occasionally used among Star Trek fans or those familiar with the series to describe a no-win scenario.

Rescuing the civilian vessel Kobayashi Maru is the notional primary goal in a simulated battle with the Klingons. The ship is disabled and the approaching cadet crew must decide whether or not to attempt rescue of the Kobayashi Maru crew – potentially endangering their own ship and lives – or leave the Kobayashi Maru to certain destruction. The difficult decision to assist the Kobayashi Maru revolves around the issue of the disabled ship's location being in the Klingon Neutral Zone, as entering the zone would be in violation of the Organian Peace Treaty.

With the 2009 reboot of Star Trek we learn that it was Mr. Spock who wrote the Kobayashi Maru simulation, and is considerably ticked off that the undisiplined Kirk was able to hack into the code and defeat simulation.
