It's been a little while since there's been news on Star Trek Online, the upcoming Cryptic Studios MMO based on the long running sci-fi franchise. This week, however, Cryptic did release three new screenshots from the game. Two of them are rather bland environment shots but the third shows how the game will handle player character visuals.

The shot shows six female portraits and each of them is a different species in the Trek universe, from Human to Klingon to Andorian and more (hey, where's the Orion slave girl portrait, Cryptic?). Since the developer knows how to make a character creation tool from their previous work on City of Heroes, we are betting their work in this area will be stellar. Star Trek Online still does not have an official release date.
