Wil Wheaton Joins STAR TREK ONLINE in Mirror Universe Story

˙

Star Trek: The Next Generation veteran Wil Wheaton is the latest member of the franchise family to return to his character — or at least, a version of Wesley Crusher — in the latest Star Trek Online story venturing deeper into the Mirror Universe.

Announced during last week’s Star Trek Day event, Wheaton will be voicing the character of Terran Empire Wesley Crusher in a new event called “Eye of The Storm” in the ongoing Star Trek Online: Ascension story.

Things have escalated in the Mirror Universe, as the Terran emperor is attempting to control The Other, the Mirror version of V’ger – a dangerous entity of tremendous power. Up until this point, the identity of the leader behind the Terran Empire’s strategic incursions into the Prime Universe has remained a secret.

However, players team up with former enemy-turned-ally, Admiral Leeta (voiced by Chase Masterson from Deep Space Nine) and learn that the Emperor is none other than the Mirror version of Wesley Crusher from The Next Generation (voiced by Wil Wheaton).

In order to stop the Terran Emperor from threatening both the Prime and Mirror Universes, the Federation will need to stop him from controlling The Other, all while fighting off his forces led by the dreaded Captain Killy (voiced by Mary Wiseman from Discovery).

These events all take place in a brand new featured episode, aptly named “Eye of the Storm.” Star Trek Online: Ascension also introduces plenty of new content for players to discover, including a new 5-player ground TFO “Storm Chasers” and the new Elite Officer Upgrade System that allows players to upgrade bridge officers. Captains can also play through the latest event, “The Emperor’s Will”, to earn a new reward, the T6 Terran Somerville starship.

The long-awaited update also brings exciting new features to the game for the very first time, including new missions starring Mary Wiseman (Star Trek: Discovery) as Captain Killy and Chase Masterson (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) as Admiral Leeta.

Star Trek: Online – Ascension launched for PC players on September 13, and will arrive for console players at a later date.
