Tarantino intended to bring a “Pulp Fiction” vibe to “Star Trek” with an idea that was a largely earthbound story set in a 1930s gangster setting. Tarantino’s pitch appeared to take inspiration from “A Piece of the Action,” the 17th episode of the second season of “Star Trek: The Original Series.” The installment, which aired in 1968, followed the Enterprise crew as they visit a planet with an Earth-like 1920s gangster culture.

Hmm... As much as I would like to see him involved I think this idea is pretty derivative.

Apparently he would copy an old TOS episode...

Yeah no interest in a gangster movie with a title of Star Trek.
It would have been far more interesting in doing let's say Errand of Mercey. And it would have been right up his alley too.
