Captain’s log, supplemental: today marks the very beginning of a bright new online saga for Star Trek fans. The Trek MMO, aptly titled Star Trek Online, has just entered open beta. Interested captains, cadets and, um, cardassians, can mosey on over to the registration site and get hooked up. You will need a beta key, which you can get as a preorder bonus, or from one of the partner sites listed on the page.

Doing so will allow you to experience:

“the first AAA MMO to feature space and ground combat at launch. Missions will take you and your friends into the depths of space, across exotic planets, and even inside starships! As the Captain of your very own ship, it’s up to you to lead your crew on missions that span a number of locations.”

The beta runs from today until January 26th, and the “headstart” period will begin on January 29th, 2010, so you’d be wise to move quickly if you want in on the pre-official gaming. So, put down that cup of tea (earl grey, hot!) and proceed at warp speed to STO’s home base.
