Perpetual Announces Addition of Visionary
Star Trek ™ Artist Andrew Probert
SAN FRANCISCO, CA - February 6, 2006 -
Perpetual Entertainment, developer of the upcoming massively
multi-player online game Star Trek Online under license from
CBS Consumer Products, announced that Andrew Probert has
joined the Star Trek Online development team as design
consultant.
As the Senior Illustrator for the first season of Star Trek:
The Next Generation ™, Probert designed new spacecraft ranging
from the Ferengi Marauder and the Romulan warbird to the
Galaxy-class U.S.S Enterprise NCC-1701-D, including both its
main and battle bridges. Probert will be working with
Perpetual to update the interior layout of the Galaxy-class,
creating new deck layouts that realize never-before-seen
locations within the massive city-sized starships. Initial
blueprints and concept art by Probert are now available at the
game's development site with additional material to be
released in the coming months.
Set twenty years after the most recent movie, Star Trek:
Nemesis, Star Trek Online will be the next step for the Star
Trek universe, advancing the timeline and technology into a
new era of exploration and discovery. Just as Star Trek: The
Next Generation updated the ships and uniforms of the original
series, Star Trek Online will bring new uniforms, new
equipment, and new starships to Starfleet and its foes.
"I was happy to be asked by Perpetual to contribute new
design thinking and explorations into a Star Trek universe no
one's ever seen," said Probert. "I'm sure the fans will enjoy
discovering and exploring all the new spaces we're creating."
Andrew Probert's artistic career spans over twenty years, many
of them working on science-fiction fans' favorite Hollywood
productions. In addition to his work on the starships of Star
Trek: The Next Generation, Probert also designed many of the
first season's sets, props, and alien environments, and even
the main title logo-type. Among Andrew's other well-known
designs are the Klingon battle cruiser's bridge and Vulcan
shuttle in Star Trek: The Motion Picture, the interior and
exterior of the AirWolf helicopter, and the original Cylon
robot villains and Cylon BaseStar in Glen Larson's Battlestar
Galactica.
