Join Ezri, alongside the returning Garrett Wang as Henry Kim and Kipleigh Brown as Admiral Kuumaarke, to face the looming threat of the Mirror Borg. The Borg from the prime universe are a terrifying threat, but these new Borg are stronger and tougher. Lead by the mysterious Borg King, they are encroaching into our universe, and only you can stop them, Captains.

To prepare to face this threat, you’ll return to the Battle of Wolf 359 in our newest Task Force Operation. Face off in a team against a single Borg Cube, in a harrowing contest that will test your mettle, and hopefully give you new insight to battling the Mirror Borg. And speaking of battling the Borg, you may want to get your hands on the technology used by the crew of the Enterprise D in their own battles with the Borg in 2401. You can grab those items and abilities, not to mention the new Duderstadt Class starship, in the Last Generation Lock Box!

And of course, we’re celebrating our 14th Anniversary as a game. That’s an incredible, unheard of length of time for an online game like STO, and we’re so happy to have you all here to celebrate. Participating in the King and Collective Event will earn your progress towards the brand new Alliance Rex Escort. This combination of Dominion and Federation technology will catapult you to the front lines with unprecedented speed and style.

Finally, get into the toughest queues faster with the advent of Elite Random Task Force Operations. Queue up for your favorite Elite Queue, or go Random for more rewards, and you’ll see those queues pop faster.

We’re so excited to spend our 14th year with you, Captains. Thank you for everything, it means the world to the team at Star Trek Online.

Welcome to the Incursion!

The new Multiverse saga really kicks it up a notch after the events in “Wish Upon a Star” where a tear in reality formed after the use of a Reality Vortex by the Tholians. Although the vortex was closed, a new and larger threat emerges.

During the events of both our new episode “Taken by Surprise” and new Task Force Operation “Resistance of Starbase 1” in Incursion, you and your allies must team together to stop an incursion of Borg from another universe at Starbase 1 where a Reality Vortex has appeared.

Also, in the brand-new 5 Captain Space Task Force Operation “Guillotine”, Borg from another universe are attempting to form a beach head through trans dimensional vortices opening up across multiple systems. You will fight them off in one of 5 different locations randomly picked when beginning the Task Force Operation.

Join Captain Harry Kim, Captain Kuumaarke, and Commander Erin Macdonald to stop this new and very dangerous Borg threat!

In addition to this, you will be able to upgrade your ship even further from T6-X to T6-X2 to fight off this Borg menace.

The 30-day event in Incursion will consist of content related to the multiverse story arc “Kings & Queens” where you can earn a brand new 3-piece ground Borg Adaptation Set.

Our team is excited to release this next part of our Multiverse saga and welcome back the voice talent of Garret Wang, Kipleigh Brown, and welcome the first appearance of astrophysicist Dr. Erin Macdonald.

In the wake of the Terran Gambit, the web draws tighter. Captains, welcome to Unraveled! This latest story update for Star Trek Online takes us away from the giant battles of the Terran Gambit and the Klingon Civil War and on an expedition with the newly promoted Admiral Kuumaarke. It’s been a long time since we’ve had a nice, relaxing science mission with Kuumaarke, so clearly nothing will go wrong. Right?

As you bargain and battle with the Tholians over a breach in space, you’ll also get to participate in our latest event, Looming Threats. Complete forty days of progress, and you’ll unlock a Tholian themed space set! This new set allows you to fire off Tholian Warp Crystals, giving bonus shields to your allies and destroying your enemies. In the brand new TFO, Leviathan, you’ll return to the spine of The Other and battle alongside a team to attempt to survive. And speaking of survival, two new Patrols are live with an additional Hard Mode, giving you more difficult enemies to face.

With all of this coming to PC today, we know you’ll have a grand adventure, no matter how deeply you’re spun into a new web.
