There already is one...it's called the Kobiyashi Alternative.  It's premise
starts after the story of ST II.  It's a pretty good game.  I do have an
amusing anecdote about the way it plays.  My roommate, who owns the package,
beamed down to the planet.  He thought he had a communicator when he went
down.  When he got down there, he told the party to fan out. THEN, he         
discovered that he lacked a the device.  He yelled, screamed, ran around
but to no avail; no one could here him.  He was stuck on the planet surface.
He couldn't even fire his phaser due to the high kerosene content of the atmos-
phere.  Well, i've rambled on long enough.
                                    Happy Trails,
                                               Mark
