In a post on their site, the developers of Star Trek Online, Cryptic Studios have revealed the timeline in which players of the Star Trek themed massively multiplayer online game (MMOG) will be immersed.

The most important bit of timeline information would be that the game begins in the year 2409, 30 years after the events of Star Trek: Nemesis and Voyager… apparently. From Cryptic’s blog post:

“The unstable situation of the Romulans continues to be a source of concern for the Alpha and Beta quadrants.”

“The loss of agricultural planets now claimed by the Imperial Romulan Empire threatens Romulus with severe food shortages. Romulus’ power plants and factories cannot increase output without the heavy metals and dilithium that once flowed from Remus.”

Check out the debut trailer over here, or some screenshots from the game over here.

The nerd saga continues.
