MMO specialists have confirmed that they are ramping-up plans for the unveiling of Online. This Sunday will see the new game officially aired, during a glitzy media event at the Hilton Las Vegas.

What's more, a figure from Star Trek's history will be on-hand to announce the new game; actor Leonard Nimoy, better known as Mr. Spock. That should be enough to whip Trekkies into a suitably fervent state.

1.30 PST on Sunday is the time, the Gene Roddenberry Theater is the place. This event should see the very first in-game footage shown, while the specifics of the gameplay may also star.

We'll bring you more on Star Trek Online, just as soon as it beams in.
