Prodigious Gaming reports that Bethesda will be releasing Star Trek: Tactical Assault for both the PSP and DS.

Star Trek: Tactical Assault will feature real-time space combat in the universe of the original Star Trek series, and the game’s single-player campaign will allow the player to assume command of a Starfleet or Klingon vessel. The single-player campaign will also contain a branching mission structure giving rise to a number of different outcomes.

The DS version will also support wireless play for some head-to-head multiplayer action. Star Trek: Tactical Assault is in development at Quicksilver Software, the studio responsible for Star Trek: Starfleet Command. The game will be released on both platforms in September 2006.

Star Trek games have a distinct tendency to be terrible so lets hope the first PSP outing of the franchise will change that.
