A film parodying Star Trek is now an official part of the franchise, thanks to a mobile game.
Scopely and Paramount announced today that characters from the 1999 film Galaxy Quest are joining Star Trek Fleet Command, a strategy mobile title that first released in 2018.
Galaxy Quest is beloved by sci-fi fans, especially Trekkies, for its hilarious loving parody of Star Trek. Now this Fleet Command event brings the movie’s ship, the NSEA Protector, and its crew into the Star Trek universe as the movie celebrates its 25th anniversary.
“This Galaxy Quest crossover event brings a unique blend of humor and adventure to Star Trek Fleet Command,” said Doug Rosen, SVP of games and emerging media at Paramount, in a press release sent to GamesBeat. “It’s so exciting to bring these two powerhouse science fiction properties together, creating a thrilling new adventure for fans of both properties.”
