Don't miss a scene! Pre-order the STAR TREK NEMESIS novelization to support TrekWeb! (0 comments | Add) Typhon Station is a very fastpaced PBeM RPG with skilled, experienced players and a warm sense of bonding and community. We play at the turn-of-the-century, 2400, and are located in the Typhon Expanses, bordering the Neutral Zone, proximate to the Romulan Empire, and near the Iconian Digs, and are on the first warning route of the original Borg Incursion. We have three stations to post from, SB 185, USS Odyssey, and USS Wraith. They all have general and particular storylines and all interact. This game is not for the faint of heart! The writing is superb and comes hot and heavy. We have some open spots and also we will consider character suggestions. So, longtime RPGers and novices, check us out. See if you want to make Typhon Station your home away from home. (0 comments | Add)

When STAR TREK NEMESIS opens on December 13th, fans may witness several cameos by former TREK characters from Whoopi Goldberg's 'Guinan' to Wil Wheaton's 'Wesley Crusher' to Susan Gibney's 'Dr. Leah Brahms'. Even Patrick Stewart's X-MEN 2 director Bryan Singer has a brief cameo in the film and while we'll have to wait two more months to know which appearances make the final cut of the film the appearance of one special chararacter from the earliest drafts of the script has inspired delight and dread in the heart of fandom since its revelation over a year ago: STAR TREK: VOYAGER's 'Captain Janeway'.

Kate Mulgrew played STAR TREK's first lead female captain, generating a mix of praise and disgust from fans over the series' seven year run. Some fans thought Janeway was unevenly written with a penchant for self-righteousness while even Mulgrew herself has posited the notion that perhaps fans just weren't ready for a female captain. When the Starship Voyager finally made it home in the series finale "Endgame" in 2001, most probably didn't think they'd see her again any time soon.

But screenwriter John Logan, a self-professed Trekker, wrote a cameo role that will probably inspire just as divisive fan responses as Janeway's portrayal on television ever did. In a brief scene opposite NEMESIS's 'Captain Jean-Luc Picard', we learn that Janeway has been promoted to the rank of Admiral and given a desk to command. Janeway gives Picard and the Enterprise its orders that set off the events of the tenth feature film. This will make the third cameo by a VOYAGER cast member in a TNG film; Robert Picardo guested as the Emergency Medical Hologram and Ethan Phillips played a holographic barkeep in 1996's FIRST CONTACT. Now, thanks to the Creation Entertainment online product catalog, you can glimpse the first shot of Starfleet's newest Admiral.
