We here at Tribbles in Ecstasy and Holosuite Magazine are happy to announce that Danial Stahl is back in the reigns of Star Trek Online retaking his place as Executive Producer of the game within Cryptic Studios. Dan, more commonly known as DStahl or just Stahl had left Cryptic studios several months ago to work with the Social Network Gaming company Zynga. A month later he returned to Cryptic taking a position working on the Foundry system for Neverwinter, but has now returned to the bridge and taken command once again.

With a deep appreciation for the responsibility bestowed on the position, I’ve reaccepted the duty of Executive Producer on Star Trek Online. After several eventful away team missions and a desk position training cadets in San Francisco, I’m grateful for the opportunity to be back at the helm of this very important title.

With the incredible success of Free to Play comes great responsibility and even greater challenges. Our CTO, Stephen D’Angelo, has done a tremendous job over the last several months. It is with great respect for him and the game that I return to the Captain’s chair while he moves forward to drive exciting new technical initiatives.

Star Trek Online lives as a testimony to the spirit of Star Trek fans everywhere, and together we will boldly go into the future.

Dan Stahl
Executive Producer, STO
