Mr. Stinnett has over two decades of experience working in the interactive entertainment industry. At LucasArts Entertainment, Mr. Stinett was the creator and executive producer of six PC and console titles, including the hits Dark Forces, Outlaws, Star Wars Starfighter, and Star Wars Republic Commando.

Daron’s vision will not only satisfy the core gaming audience, but will appeal to that vast community of millions who know and love the series and movies.”

Star Trek is one of the world’s most popular, longest-running, and beloved sci-fi properties, with millions of passionately devoted fans throughout the world. The Star Trek Online license encompasses all live-action motion pictures and television series including Star Trek: The Original Series, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager, and Star Trek: Enterprise, giving Perpetual the opportunity to immerse fans and players in the incredibly rich, diverse, and exciting universe of Star Trek.

“The massively multiplayer genre is the ideal way to realize the Star Trek experience,” said Mr. Stinnett. “I look forward to working with the team here at Perpetual to make a product that is not only a great game in its own right, but one brimming with the exploration, adventure, and teamwork that is the essence of Star Trek,” he added.
