Linked in with the series was the Prodigy Supernova game. Tracing an adventure for Dal and Gwyn, the save location for players saw them beamed back aboard the Protostar with access to the bridge, Captain's Quarters, Mess Hall and Engineering.
This gave access to game rewards as well as the main way to access save files and the game story itself. What fans might not appreciate is that these are, as far as Aaron Waltke is aware, are the same sets used for the series and transplanted into the game. In a truly unique Star Trek experience, players are literally aboard the Protostar as they would see it on the TV.
Walk around the Captain's Quarters for example and players will find trinkets collected from completing aspects of the game including items celebrating the franchise history although whether Chakotay would have these lying around is another conversation entirely.
The Protostar has now also been added to the worlds of Star Trek Online where it is classed as a Temporal Science Spearhead and includes the Vau N'Kat Living Construct amongst its payload. Within the game that feature allows the Protostar to breach opponents' systems and lock weapons on their own allies just as the Diviner intended!
