Star Trek Online

Silica is a hybrid FPS/RTS indie title from Bohemia Interactive, released in May 2023. While Bohemia has a strong history with multiplayer titles (e.g., Arma), Silica has a niche appeal and has not broken into major mainstream popularity. As a recent release from an established publisher but with indie scope, it likely sustains a small but dedicated player base, typically a few hundred daily active players. It does not meet MMO criteria as it features limited-scale multiplayer battles rather than a persistent world with massive player counts.

Star Trek Online is a long-running MMORPG released in 2010 by Cryptic Studios. As a licensed Star Trek title, it maintains a loyal but aging fanbase. Although no longer in its prime, it is still supported and sees regular content updates, which helps retain a modest but persistent player base on both PC and consoles. Its daily active players are much lower than peak years but still significant for a niche MMORPG.
