There are also boss battles spread throughout the game, as well as a section where the player takes control of a shuttle and must navigate through the wormhole and even an asteroid field to catch up to a fugitive. There's also a stage where the player infiltrates a Cardassian ship as the shapeshifting Odo and must rely on stealth.</p>
