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)

STAR TREK NEMESIS debuted last weekend in Germany and Austria and Variety reports that the film grossed an estimated $3.2 million in 800 theatres in Germany, with an additional $266,000 from 59 theatres in Austria. NEMESIS's performance is called a "stellar debut" by the trade paper, which notes that it was also against the premiere of the Spielberg/DiCaprio film CATCH ME IF YOU CAN.

But in comparison to the previous pic in the franchise, 1998's STAR TREK: INSURRECTION, NEMESIS certainly appears wanting. According to archival data available at the paper, INSURRECTION debuted with $7,966,409 in only 702 theatres, a figure more than double the NEMESIS take. The ninth TREK went on to gross $16,588,856 in Germany overall, its opening weekend accounting for nearly 48% of its total take. This makes a total German box office of around $6.5 million likely for NEMESIS.

The story is similar for Austria, which provided a $674,413 opening gross for INSURRECTION in 48 theatres four years ago, eleven less than NEMESIS. The prior film went on to gross $1,193,011 total in Austria.

NEMESIS added another $450,000 to its domestic pot this weekend for a 24th place finish in 755 less theatres than the week prior, according to Box Office Mojo. This brings the domestic total to $42,450,000 while the worldwide gross currently stands at $47,573,428.
