Star Trek Online is a free-to-play massively multiplayer online game where players can pioneer their own destiny as Captain of a Federation starship or become a Klingon Warrior and champion the Empire through the far reaches of the galaxy.

Set in the year 2409, Star Trek Online will allow players to immerse themselves in the future of the Star Trek universe, exploring strange new worlds, seeking out new life and new civilizations in an ever expanding vast universe. Command a starship as a Federation or a Klingon Captain, outfit it with custom systems and recruit, train and mold a crew into an elite force for exploration and combat. Missions take players into thrilling space battle, planetside for face-to-face combat and even inside starships!

With customizable ships and characters from the Klingon Empire and United Federation of Planets, ground, space and shipboard gameplay and unique options for player-generated content set in the Star Trek universe, Star Trek Online is the MMOG that allows you to boldly go where no one has gone before!

In celebration of the 50th anniversary of Star Trek: The Original Series, Agents of Yesterday will allow players to create a new Captain in the timeline of Star Trek: The Original Series, where they will take command of an era appropriate ship and begin their new adventure! This third expansion also introduces two well-known characters from Star Trek: The Original Series, five new ships, plus the iconic Enterprise, Constitution class starship.

Agents of Yesterday brings Star Trek fans and Star Trek Online players closer to Star Trek: The Original Series - the beloved series that served as the building block of one of the most popular science-fiction franchises. Fans will be able to take on the role of a Captain from Star Trek: The Original Series and visit multiple locations taken directly from the show, including Taurus VII and Edren (the Gorn Rock Planet). In Agents of Yesterday, five new playable starships from Star Trek: The Original Series will also join the classic Enterprise, Constitution-class starship, including the Daedalus-class Science Vessel.

In an effort to immerse players even more into Star Trek: The Original Series, Agents of Yesterday will feature an exciting cast of characters voiced by beloved Star Trek actors. This includes Chekov, played by Walter Koenig and Montgomery ‘Scotty’ Scott, voiced by Chris Doohan, son of James Doohan. The expansion will also feature the return of Admiral Leeta, reprised by Chase Masterson, and introduce Temporal Agent Daniels from Star Trek: Enterprise, played by Matt Winston.


On October 25, captains will have access to Agents of Yesterday – Artifacts, an update to the last expansion that introduces a brand-new episode and story arc that will carry Star Trek Online through the next year, a Star Trek: The Original Series-themed Starbase Fleet Holding, plus all of the new modern lighting upgrades that were recently featured in the console version of the game.

The newest update to Star Trek Online begins a brand new story arc that will start an adventure that runs through 2017. Captains will be reunited with the Lukari, a warp-capable species originally introduced in Season 11 that seeks to expand their exploratory efforts. Players will accompany the Lukari on a mission to an alien solar system, where they will discover the joys of exploration, the dangers of unknown space, and begin to unravel a mystery that will have long lasting consequences.

Agents of Yesterday – Artifacts also includes the return of the Starbase K-13, which was lost during Agents of Yesterday to a temporal anomaly. This space station will be available to all fleets as part of the new Star Trek: The Original Series themed Fleet Holding.

In addition to our new story episode and this amazing new fleet holding, the update will feature upgraded lighting and graphics, designed to improve the overall visual quality of the game. These modern lighting technologies recently debuted with the Xbox One and PS4 releases of the game.
