The long-running Star Trek Online multiplayer game hit its eleventh anniversary this past week, and to celebrate, Cryptic Studios revealed a look at “House Reborn,” the newest chapter of the game.
The Klingon-centric storyline includes the arrival of two Star Trek: Discovery characters, L’Rell (voiced by Mary Chieffo, returning to the role) and Tevanik (voiced by Sam Witwer in place of Kenneth Mitchell), as players revisit the Boreth Monastery seen in Discovery‘s second season — home of the vault of Time Crystals where Captain Pike saw his future in “Through the Valley of Shadows.”
Here’s the official announcement:
After the Klingon Empire broke apart in “House Shattered,” J’Ula, matriarch of House Mo’Kai, travels to the sacred planet of Boreth. Plagued with guilt, she tracks down Tenavik (voiced by Sam Witwer from “Star Wars: The Clone Wars,” under the guidance of Kenneth Mitchell, who originated the role), the Klingon outcast who was first introduced in “Star Trek: Discovery,” with hopes that he can lead her to enlightenment.
The journey won’t be an easy one, however. Players will be tasked with guiding J’Ula along her spiritual voyage, one where she will not only have to face ghosts of the past, present and future, but also descend into the pits of the Klingon underworld Gre’thor itself.
There she will seek guidance from L’Rell, the famed Klingon warrior who played a pivotal role in the first few seasons of Discovery (voiced by Mary Chieffo, who originated the role). Captains will also reunite with General Martok (played by J.G Hertzler from “Deep Space: Nine”), Adet’Pa (voiced by Rekha Sharma from “Star Trek: Discovery”) and Aakar (played by Robert O’Reilly from “Star Trek: The Next Generation” and “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine”).
All this takes place across two brand new featured episodes. “House Reborn” also introduces a ton of new playable content for PC players to explore and exciting updates exclusively for Klingon characters.
The new “House Reborn” expansion is live for PC players now, and will become available to Star Trek Online players via Playstation 4 and Xbox One later in 2021.
