Star Trek: Alien Domain
Star Trek: Alien Domain is a licensed, browser-based strategy MMO that drops you into Star Trek’s strange corner of fluidic space. From there, the loop is familiar to anyone who has played a base-builder, construct a headquarters, gather resources, expand your fleet, and push back against Species 8472. The Star Trek hook is the main draw, letting you side with either the Federation or the Klingon Empire and field faction-flavored ships and officers as you fight for control of the sector.

Star Trek: Alien Domain Overview
Star Trek: Alien Domain is an officially licensed 2D strategy MMO that runs in your web browser. The premise centers on fluidic space, where Species 8472 has trapped Starfleet and Klingon forces inside an extended “trial” designed to measure how their enemies adapt under pressure. Early on you choose a faction, either the United Federation of Planets or the Klingon Empire, and that selection carries through the rest of the experience by changing the look and feel of your ships, officers, and overall presentation.
Once you arrive, the game leans into classic base management. Your home base is where you produce resources, unlock new construction options, and research improvements that strengthen your economy and fleet. Progress is tied to upgrading structures and steadily expanding what you can build, equip, and deploy. On top of the base layer, you maintain a fleet used to venture through fluidic space, with loadouts that include weapons and abilities you can trigger during encounters. Between PvE objectives and PvP conflict, the goal is to grow your power and carve out a foothold in a hostile region of the Star Trek universe.

Star Trek: Alien Domain Additional Information
Developer: GameSamba
Closed Beta Date: December 1, 2014 (Original CBT)
Closed Beta Phase 3: April 7, 2015
Development History / Background:
Star Trek: Alien Domain is a Star Trek themed browser strategy MMO developed and published by the American studio GameSamba, produced in partnership with CBS (the Star Trek IP holder). Structurally, it follows the familiar blueprint of popular browser and mobile war strategy titles, with timed building upgrades, resource production, and incremental power growth, but it wraps those systems in recognizable Star Trek factions, enemies, and presentation.
This focus on a well-known license is clearly intended to appeal to dedicated Trek fans who want something adjacent to the franchise without committing to a full client MMO. In that sense, it sits in a relatively small niche, with Star Trek Online being the other major Star Trek MMO option. The first closed beta began in December 2014, and the third closed beta phase started on April 7, 2015, which is also when access effectively opened up to a wider audience.
