Whither Star Trek Online?

Star Trek Online, the MMORPG based on the popular science fiction IP, is in jeopardy of being cancelled. Massively reports:
Perpetual Entertainment filed for liquidation on the 10th of October, just a day after it announced the cancellation of its Gods & Heroes project. While appearances are that Star Trek Online has remained in some kind of development (however limited) in the short term, Perpetual will soon be forced to sell all its assets to pay off its debts.
That means that either Star Trek Online is due for cancellation, or the project will be sold to a new development studio. Perpetual’s continued work on STO is evidence that it at least hopes to keep the project alive by handing it off to another company. We don’t know if Perpetual already has a buyer lined up or which company that buyer would be.
I call dibs on running the development, if they’d let me.
