After a year away from the franchise, Star Trek: Discovery actor Jason Isaacs returns to Starfleet in the latest update to the Star Trek Online gaming saga — and this time, the one-time-Terran is staying clear of the Mirror Universe as he portrays ‘Prime’ Gabriel Lorca.
Following in the footsteps of Discovery costars Mary Wiseman and Rekha Sharma, who also returns in this new gaming update, Isaacs will finally get a chance to tell the story of the ‘good’ Captain Lorca, who eventually swapped universes with his Terran counterpart in the days leading up to the first season of Star Trek: Discovery.
In Star Trek Online: Rise of Discovery, the story will shed light on the team of Gabriel Lorca and Ellen Landry, their time serving together aboard the ill-fated USS Buran, and feature a mission where Landry must rescue a captured Lorca from the Klingons.
Star Trek Online: Rise of Discovery launches for PC players on May 14, and will expand to XBox One and PlayStation platforms later in 2019.
