Star Trek: Infinite Space (STIS) is published by German-based online games publisher Gameforge and developed by Keen. This free-to-play interactive browser game is set during Star Trek Deep Space Nine’s Dominion War. This means Klingons, Cardassians and of course the Dominion. Renowned Star Trek experts Denise and Michael Okuda (authors of the the Star Trek Encyclopedia) were on board as contributors/consultants for the publisher’s in-development Star Trek games for browsers and Facebook. STIS stories and its missions are written by Star Trek: The Next Generation screenwriter, Lee Sheldon. The Dominion are a slave race of soldiers genetically engineered by the shape-shifting alien race known as the Changelings.

Matador: The Star Trek tv series and movies (1 to 10)all happened in the same timeline, which covered the 22nd century to the 24th century.

The 11th movie(by JJ Abrams) opened a parallel universe, a divergent path starting from the 23rd century. The upcoming movies will continue in this new timeline.

This game takes place in the 24th century from the original timeline, from the models of the spaceships
and uniforms.

Nice to see the Okudas involved when the original Trek creative team were relegated to backup staff. Years of these people like the Okudas creating the universe we know and love so quickly dismissed by Jar Jar Ambrams and his ilk. I can't wait to play this because Abrams, Orci and the rest have no hand in it.
