Starfleet's looking for a few good men and women. Cryptic Studios announced tonight that they're accepting applications for the closed beta of Star Trek Online.

You can sign up for the beta through this online form. After you create a Cryptic account (you can use the one you created for Champions Online), you'll be asked to fill out a brief survey. Nothing too out of the ordinary - they basically want to know how big of a gamer you are and what sort of computer you're using.

Those of you who purchased six-month or lifetime subscriptions to Champions are automatically accepted into the closed beta. It's set to begin later this year.
