There was some speculation about it when the LOTR RPG license ended, but it's now official. The Star Trek RPG line from Decipher is no more. From the man himself:
So what's this mean for me? Well, I've dropped my "Net Rep" duties, effective pretty much immediately. The projects I've been thinking about can go ahead without me having to worry about possibly getting approval from the licensee, since they don't have the license any longer.From: Warren Holland

Patrick,
We have no plans to continue the Star Trek RPG. Sorry. Unfortunately, the property was never profitable. We carried it for many years at a loss. We can't do that in today's environment so we did not renew the RPG license.

What this also means, though, is that I'm not feeling all that compelled to finish any of the errata work that I'd begun. It's a painstaking, time-consuming task that I just don't have the energy or the time to do anymore. It also means that the sterrata email address I set up, which is mostly just a spam magnet anymore, is going the way of the Labrador duck as well.
I wish I had better news, but at least we can all end the speculation. The silence has been broken, and now we know the game's fate and can proceed from here knowing what there is to know.
