Atari has provided a Starfleet and Klingon Defense Force Intelligence Briefing as well as a short video on the Cardassian Empire.

Star Trek: Online has made fifty Beta keys available to readers of TrekToday and TrekBBS. To obtain one, a simple email request and a bit of luck will land the opportunity to test-drive the Star Trek: Online Open Beta.
The developers of Star Trek: Online update players on the status of the game after the first week of “Open Beta.”
According to Star Trek: Online, the first week of Open Beta has gone very well. “The first week of Open Beta has been amazing! We have seen more signups and players than we ever imagined we could. So very many people have shown interest in Star Trek Online and logged in to play that we’ve actually had to scramble to support everyone. Our core engineers are this very second working like crazed technology wielding madmen to improve performance and stability across the board. We’re also adding a lot more hardware to accommodate our players.”
Fans waiting for Star Trek: Online to release now will know the subscription pricing for the MMORPG.

A new promotional video has been posted for Star Trek: Online which features playing the game from the Klingon viewpoint.

Star Trek: Online Executive Producer Craig Zinkievich revealed in a new video interview that players may run into familiar names and faces while playing Star Trek: Online.
Even though Star Trek: Online is set in the future from the time-frame most familiar to Star Trek fans, it will still be possible to reconnect with famous personalities from the past. “In the future, most of the characters that you know and love from the series, from the shows, maybe they’ve died, passed, moved on,” said Zinkievich, “but obviously it wouldn’t be a Star Trek game without time-travel so you may run into some of them in the past.”
A new Star Trek: Online video has been posted, featuring familiar settings and old foes.
Players of Star Trek: Online will explore space, returning to places seen before, such as the planet hosting the Guardian of Forever, as well as facing familiar foes, such as the Borg Queen.

Not long ago, it was announced that the new Spock, Zachary Quinto, would be doing some voice work for Star Trek: Online. Now it has been announced that the original Spock, Leonard Nimoy, will also be providing voiceovers for the MMORPG.
Nimoy will be providing the voiceover for the introduction as well as for “key scenes and events in-game.” This in not Nimoy’s first foray into videogames. In the past, he has done voiceovers for Civilization IV as well as for several other Star Trek games.
