“Apply to Starfleet and defend the Federation.”

Cryptic Studios is currently inviting gamers to log on to the beta version of its upcoming MMO, Star Trek Online. The closed beta, which started last week, gives players the chance to design unique characters and alien species, and explore both the space and ground-based gameplay. In space, players will be captain of their own starship, complete with numerous customization options and unique crew abilities.

Players will also be able to lead away teams onto planets and space stations where they will rescue scientists, shoot Klingons and, presumably, teach blue-skinned alien women the tender secrets of love.
