‘Star Trek’ And ‘Galaxy Quest’ Join Forces In ‘Fleet Command’ Game – Watch Launch Trailer

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.

Check out the launch trailer…

“For more than five years, Star Trek Fleet Command has been the ultimate destination for avid fans to immerse themselves in the Star Trek universe and connect with other fans around the world,” said Scopely’s Fleet Command General Manager Conor Crowley in a statement. “In this newest collaboration with ‘Galaxy Quest’ we’re bringing something entirely new to our players that pays homage to Star Trek fandom in a hilarious way, while staying true to the spirit of both franchises.”

too bad this “game” costs an arm and a leg, officers take literally thousands of dollars to uprade and ships take multiple years to unlock(unless of course you’re willing to spend an entire month’s paycheck to get it early)

I played this game when it first came out and it was sort of fun…. for a while. Then I got constantly pulverized by other players that basically shove money into the game.
The game went from “sort of fun” to exasperating to play.

Same here, I still remember how “fun” it was to wake up, only to find out that your shield had depleted and your station was sucked bone dry.

Galaxy Quest is my favorite Trek movie. :D

I’ll go so far as to say it is the most satisfying Trek movie, as in, my appreciation doesn’t come ladled with complaints, like they do for the three Trek movies I really love. Just watched it again a couple weeks back after not seeing it for something like five years, and man, it still absolutely works from start to finish, funny but also very emotionally engaging.

I’m always amazed at how effective Tim Allen is in the role, but often found Sigourney Weaver’s face (yes, I’m talking about her face) distracting, it was like they covered the natural texture or did something to it to make her look like every other person in Hollywood, and it seems like most things I’ve seen her in since also reflect this change (and it doesn’t look like aging, more the reverse.)

I’ve been meaning to revisit that film as well. It’s been a long time.

The VFX are really really good, and the crash into the con at the end is still breathtaking.

Galaxy Trek could work as a Deadpool-esque crossover movie starring Tim Allen, Sigourney,.Sam Rockwell etc and Shatner (with some TNG etc cameos)

Maybe a CGI Shatner……

Shatner deaged to 1990s era.

Plotwise i’m imagining something ridiculous/convenient like the GQ crew are battling Sarris’ species who are creating a rip in spacetime to destroy the Protector in the past, Big explosion and the Protector ends up in the Star Trek universe.. they meet Shatner Kirk (pre Generations) who ends up stealing the Enterprise-A to help them, then it goes off the rails with meta comedy, timetravel, alt timelines, cameos (TNG/Ent D, Seven, Pike, JJ crew, multiple Spocks).. Box office 850m and counting ..

It has to be an animation of Shatner. All he has left in the tank these days are gigs where he sits and talks. Taking on an action flick would kill him. Disney dropped a mountain of money deaging Harrison Ford. Indiana Jones is arguably as well-known a character as James Kirk, and Dial of Destiny was a disaster.
Selling this concept would require it be made on the cheap. Real cheap…..

Might have the an animated P+ movie (could include a Rickman soundalike then too).

Animated in 80s cartoon style (when GQ was supposed to be on TV and Trek films were at their peak)

Spielberg should have directed DoD, he would made it better.

I walked out of Crystal Skull feeling like I needed a penicillin shot. It destroyed any interest I’d have in the further adventures of grandad Indy.
The character’s great, but like Bond, it won’t hurt to recast Indy from time to time.

CS had its moments but Spielberg’s heart was not in it.
He showed more passion for this kind of action with ‘tin tin’.

A film concept artist on Instagram revealed his art for Spielberg/Koepp version of Indy 5 which wasn’t the Dial of Destiny, had young Indy in Chinese temples, Nazi submarine and locomotive, and a Lara Croft type sidekick (either Ana De Armes or Felicity Jones from Rogue 1)

Sad news- patti yasutake r i p

Damn.

Would’ve loved for Nurse (or Doctor!) Ogawa to show in Picard, or even Prodigy! Rest in Peace and Power, Patti! 🪷

Sad news, the actress who played Nurse Ogawa on TNG died. Reported by The Hollywood Reporter.

This deserves coverage. Such a delightful actress, and a lovely character. To hell with cancer.

It deserves a story at least as much as a money-sucking video game, but topics like this seem passe on this site.

It was mentioned on their social media sites.

And for those that prefer not to visit those sites? I gave up on FB ages ago, between the scam ads and toxic attitudes. I can catch up with family vacation pics when we get together :D .. Twitter er X er no thanks won’t feed that guy’s ego, and TikTok is the land of faux experts. I prefer a curated website like this one. It is more work, of course, than simply posting a blurb on Twitter or FB.

I came here specifically looking for a tribute.

The only game I’m interested in is Grand Theft Auto 6.

The “played by” Tag ist pretty much missleading. It indicates that the characters are voiced by the og actors.

Rickman being no longer alive is a bit of a giveaway there.

Is Galaxy Quest currently owned by Paramount?

I’d say add The Orville, but that’s Disney.

Looking over it, Paramount took over DreamWorks (who made Galaxy Quest) almost 20 years ago, but sold off the DreamWorks film library shortly after. And apparently Paramount and DreamWorks parted ways again some years later. So no idea who owns what.

Looking it up, it seems Paramount bought back the library but sold the studio. The DVD is distributed by Paramount and all future plans (various plans for a TV series, mostly) are being handled (or not) by Paramount.

This strongly makes me wish I enjoyed or still played this game. I love the idea, at least!

It’s sad times when Galaxy Quest seems far less of a parody/joke than nuTrek.

I always laugh at people who say Galaxy Quest is a Trek movie — even putting aside those who say it’s the BEST trek movie. It doesn’t look like Trek, it doesn’t feel like Trek, it doesn’t use the name Star Trek. It’s not Star Trek. Same with Orville. Might as well call anything with a space ship and an intergalactic empire Star Trek.

Also, this crossover is fun, but that’s all it really is. Of course, I find it hard to believe they got Alan Rickman back as the article implies. Bad writing, that.

I think it looked like the way Trek wanted to look (regarding space exteriors anyway), but couldn’t afford.

Was Las Vegas a bust? No new news?
