Five captains, one famous script writer, 40 years of Trek. September orgy

The orgy that will be Star Trek's 40th Anniversary in September is cooking up quite nicely, with Mad Doc pitching in their part by roping in some of Trek's biggest names for the development of Star Trek: Legacy.

The latest news is that all five captions, Kirk, Picard, Sisko, Janeway and Archer, will feature as voice actors, playing themselves, in the upcoming RTS which bears a striking resemblance to Bethesda's previous Trek outing, Armada. Well, we'll hope it has a little more polish than that.

Also on the Legacy team is legendary Trek writer D.C. Fontana, the woman who started out as Gene Roddenberry's secretary before becoming one of The Original Series' most important scripting figures; acting as script editor and submitting many of Trek's most memorable episodes along the way.

Well, we'll see what happens. We took a look at Legacy back during E3, for your viewing pleasure.

Old Man Gamer:

D.C. Fontana wrote science fiction stories and scripts long before Star Trek.
She started writing scripts in 1960 and became a full-time writer in 1965. She
was the personal assistant to Gene, not his secretary, and was involved with the
Start Trek concept from very early in development.
