Erin Esurance Undertakes a New Mission on the Ice Planet Delta Vega

SAN FRANCISCO, March 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Esurance, the online auto insurance company, announced the recent launch of a new "Star Trek" movie-themed Flash game featuring the company's special agent brand icon, Erin Esurance. The free online game includes animated versions of alien life-forms from J.J. Abrams' upcoming "Star Trek" film produced by Paramount Pictures and Spyglass Entertainment and due in theaters May 8, 2009. Esurance's "Star Trek" movie-themed online game is the latest addition of fresh content to the company's "Star Trek" micro-site: http://www.esurance.com/StarTrek.

Players of the free Flash game guide Erin Esurance through the ice planet, Delta Vega, as she engages in a mission to locate a missing member of Star Fleet, Officer Keenser. As Erin tries to find Star Fleet Officer Keenser, she collects equipment from a Star Fleet science station all while fighting attacks from Polarilla and Snow Slug, two tough alien monsters.

"Erin Esurance's mission through the ice planet, Delta Vega, is a fun, interactive way for people to engage with some of the new life-forms that will be featured in the upcoming Star Trek film. Though she's always battling over-priced auto insurance in a variety of settings, it's the first time Erin's ever battled alien monsters on another planet," stated Esurance's Brand and Public Relations Manager, Melissa Chapman.
