For those that haven't heard (but actually give a hoot), Perpetual Entertainment has been developing an MMO under the Star Trek license for about a year now. It's scheduled for beta later this year with, I believe, a 2008 release. For decades Paramount's most well-known franchise has been dragged through the mud by various game developers. Of the dozens of titles released under the Star Trek name less than a handful have been remotely successful, few of those even qualifying as AAA titles and fewer still actually recouping the development costs. Perpetual is taking the reigns and creating an MMORPG that will hopefully revive the franchise.
More general information about the game available here.
Also, a few interviews for your viewing pleasure: http://www.startrekonline.com/news/
Yesterday nearly 100 people from various game magazines and other publications visited Perpetual's offices to dicuss both STO and their other game, Gods and Heroes: Rome Rising. My inside source tells me that Perpetual had a number of fresh goodie to show off including these high quality promotional stills.
