This year is the 25th anniversary of the film Galaxy Quest, an homage to the Star Trek franchise and fandom. Now the Star Trek: Fleet Command game is introducing a new Galaxy Quest story arc with exclusive missions, character unlocks, and special in-game awards.
Never give up, never surrender in Fleet Command
This morning Fleet Command publisher Scopely announced Thermians and Trek fans are set to unite for an “extraordinary crossover event that brings Galaxy Quest’s iconic characters and thrilling adventures to the expansive universe of Star Trek Fleet Command.” The crossover launches today and promises to deliver “a captivating blend of humor, nostalgia, and epic space battles.”
Here is the synopsis of the event:
In these new challenges, Galaxy Quest’s “Jason Nesmith” inadvertently sends the NSEA Protector and her crew hurtling through the space-time continuum, launching themselves into the Star Trek Fleet Command universe. Soon attacked by the Fatu-Krey and Orion vessels, their attempt to return home using the Omega 13 device instead sends them back in time, where they meet the captain of the USS Enterprise, James T. Kirk.

“This Galaxy Quest crossover event brings a unique blend of humor and adventure to Star Trek Fleet Command,” said Doug Rosen, SVP, Games and Emerging Media, Paramount. “It’s so exciting to bring these two powerhouse science fiction properties together, creating a thrilling new adventure for fans of both properties.”
