  • Star Trek: Online is offering fans a beta slot in their closed beta, a special forum title and online publication of the winning fan entry in a new contest. Fans will "tell us about the planet" that is shown on the contest details page, where a red planet, surrounded by black rocks/asteroids and with a starship of some sort approaching orbit of the mysterious planet, is pictured. The contest entrants will have to write a short entry of up to five hundred words, which could be a story of the daily life on the planet, a scientific survey log, or any other type of tale that strikes the writer's fancy.

  • According to Entertainment Earth Star Trek fans can preorder Star Trek Mattel Hot Wheels models which will arrive in May. The models are 1:50 scale and based on the movies and the television shows. Ships to be included in this set: Enterprise NCC-1701 refit (Star Trek: The Motion Picture), Enterprise 1701-D (Star Trek: The Next Generation), Reliant NCC-1864 (Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan) and a Klingon Bird of Prey (Star Trek: The Search for Spock).

    Star Trek: Alien Spotlight: Klingons, written by Keith R.A. DeCandido, with art by J.K. Woodward, and the cover by David Williams, will explain from where the saying "Four thousand throats may be cut in a single night by a running man" came.
