Cryptic, the developers of the upcoming MMORPG Star Trek Online, have announced a new contest that can win gamers a chance to play in the beta for the online game.

The Planet Exploration Contest goes a little beyond the usual fill-out-a-form-and-wait drill for hopeful beta testers.  To enter, you need to write a brief, 500-word story about the planet shown on the contest page.  Participants are encouraged to dream up ideas about the planet shown, as well as its location, history or potential inhabitants.

Make up a story for this planet and you could
be invited to the Star Trek Online beta.

The Star Tek Online contest closes in less than two weeks, on January 29.  No word yet on when the beta will commence, but it looks as though Cryptic is getting close.
