Don't let those snippets of footage from J.J. Abrams' Star Trek reboot fool you. Star Trek D-A-C is a straight up space shooter for Xbox Live Arcade and (soon) PlayStation Network.

And that's probably for the best. Unless we're dogfighting in space—whether that be in real-time or in some Starfleet Battles turn-based geek out—or hacking up dishonorable cowards in a bat'leth-based Klingon fighting sim, I'm not so sure I want to spend that much time recreating the events of Star Trek. Rarely, if ever, do I feel the need to hang out on the bridge or shimmy through a Jefferies tube.

So space battles it is! This is the first Star Trek D-A-C trailer, one that you might've caught during last week's GameTrailers TV. If not, engage.
