This year marks the tenth anniversary of Star Trek Online, and as part of the long-running game’s decade celebration, a few big names from the Star Trek world are coming aboard to kick off 2020.
Announced today by Perfect World Entertainment, Star Trek: Discovery lead Sonequa Martin-Green and Star Trek: Voyager’s ex-Borg Jeri Ryan join Star Trek Online for their ten-year Legacy expansion, a new addition to the game set to honor all 50-plus years of the Star Trek franchise.
Star Trek Online: Legacy pays loving tribute to all the different ‘Star Trek’ series featured in the game over the last decade. In honor of the episode “The Savage Curtain” from the third season of the Original Series, the game’s newest missions test the morality of the galaxy’s finest.
In the original episode, Captain Kirk and Spock came across the omnipotent Excalbians, who forced them into an experiment to understand the difference between good and evil by resurrecting history’s greatest heroes and villains. Legacy’s two new featured episodes bring players back to the planet of Excalbia to face a similar test.
Captains will face off against iconic enemies from some of the game’s most popular content updates, while teaming up with some of Starfleet’s finest, who represent the epitome of good. This includes former Borg drone and U.S.S. Voyager crew member, Seven of Nine (voiced by Jeri Ryan), from the brand new ‘Star Trek: Picard’ series, and players will also rely on help from Starfleet’s brilliant commander, Michael Burnham (voiced by Sonequa Martin-Green), from ‘Star Trek: Discovery.’
The Star Trek: Online — Legacy expansion contains these new features:
- Two New Featured Episodes: Captains hailing from all of the game’s factions can experience two brand new episodes, “Measure of Morality” Parts 1 and 2. A strange anomaly calls players to Excalbia where they are tasked with proving once and for all that good is better than evil. Players will team up with heroes like Seven of Nine and Michael Burnham to navigate a series of trials that pit them against some of Star Trek’s most dangerous enemies.
- New Task Force Operation: “To Hell With Honor” is a brand new 5-player space TFO that takes place on the surface of the moon, where J’Ula and her Klingon forces are building a new shipyard for her fleet. Players will need to work together to destroy this base before enemy forces take them down with Mycelial weaponry.
- Anniversary Celebration: Over the next month, Star Trek Online players can earn credits toward the brand new cross-faction T6 Khitomer Alliance Battlecruiser by playing new episodes, TFOs and the Omega Anniversary Event. This special event is a STO favorite, which sends players on a mission to stabilize particles that Q has scattered across the galaxy.
- Mycelium Task Force Operation: The popular TFO introduced with Star Trek Online’s last update, Awakening, has been added to the game’s standard rotation of Task Force Operations. This special ground mission lets up to five players battle the Elachi, as they shut down probes that threaten to destroy the Mycelial Network.
Star Trek Online — Legacy is now live on PC and launches on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on March 3.
