Star Trek Online
Star Trek Online is an MMORPG set in the Star Trek universe. The game will allow players to develop characters of various races, to become captain of their own ship. Starfleet Captain and Klingon Warrior are two character classes that have been identified. The game is said to include both player-versus-player (PvP) and player-versus-environment (PvE) gameplay.
The game will take place after the events in the television series and about twenty years after the events in Star Trek: Nemesis, around the start of the 25th Century. The developers of Star Trek Online chose to set the game further into the future of the Star Trek universe in order to allow for some technological developments — including Federation-controlled trans-warp conduits to allow for faster travel.
The game will allow every player to captain their own starship, and will consist of both space combat and the third-person play standard to most MMOs. In the true spirit of Star Trek, the game will focus on exploration. A large area to explore will be available, and Star Trek Online is said to have an unlimited number of random planets to explore in addition to the defined worlds.
Star Trek Online was first announced in 2004 and is to be released for the Windows PC. The game was under development by Perpetual Entertainment until January 2008, when the license and non-code content for the game were moved to Cryptic Studios.
