Bethesda reveals Trek talent

DC Fontana worked on scripts.

Bethesda Softworks has revealed that Dorothy "D.C." Fontana and her partner Derek Chester have collaborated on three scripts for Bethesda's upcoming Star Trek titles, Legacy and Tactical Assault.

Fontana has contributed to Star Trek for many years, and her writing credits include work on the original "Encounter at Farpoint" episode that kicked off The Next Generation. She's also worked on The Six Million Dollar Man, Babylon 5 and Earth: Final Conflict.

Star Trek: Legacy is in development at Mad Doc Software for Xbox 360 and PC, and puts players in control of a task force of ships, while Star Trek: Tactical Assault is a PSP/DS title in development at Quicksilver Software. Both games are due out this autumn.
