Want to get a guaranteed spot in the upcoming "Star Trek Online" beta? If so, head on over to the official "STO" website, where they have a new "Planet Exploration" contest underway.

To enter, send Cryptic an email with information on the new planet pictured below. You can tell them about the planet's history, make a scientific log, or even come up with what daily life for its inhabitants is like. Entries can be no more than 500 words, and need to be emailed to contest@crypticstudios.com by January 29, 2009 to be eligible. One first-prize winner will receive a guaranteed spot in the "STO" beta, a special title for his forum profile, and get his entry in the game. Two runner-ups will get the special forum title … but unfortunately no guaranteed spot in beta.

There's less than two weeks left until the contest ends, so what are you waiting for?
