The 12th Fleet: Starbase Valhalla

Star Trek Online recently celebrated its fifth anniversary. Almost every story arc we've released over these five years has teased a coming threat. Nearly every attack, every clandestine operation, and every crisis that pushed the galaxy closer to war and instability has been orchestrated by a singular, ancient enemy.

The Iconians.

We've chased their shadows. We've walked in their footsteps, and we've found and used their gateways. Last year, in "Surface Tension," we finally saw one in the flesh. The danger was real. Through Delta Rising, we saw the lengths to which the Iconians were willing to go to control a willing species. They equipped the Vaadwaur with technology and sent them to disrupt the peace and stability of an entire quadrant.

Late last year Sela was rescued from an Iconian facility in "What's Left Behind." She's been in custody awaiting trial in the Romulan Republic ever since.

On Thursday, March 26, we will release "Uneasy Allies," a new featured episode starring Denise Crosby and the next part of our serialized storyline. You can expect two more blogs that will set the stage for this episode and let you see a little of what's happened to Sela since her apprehension. "Uneasy Allies" kicks off a story that’s been five years in the making.

The Iconians are coming, and this is our last chance to prepare for war.

I like the term "serialized storyline." Seems to confirm my suspicion that the Delta Recruit event would involve weekly missions for recruit characters.

"serialized storyline." = we're too lazy to write it twice

What I liked about TNG, Voyager and DS9 before S3: the lack of "serialized storyline". It was fun to understand what was happening even if you missed the last 2 episodes.

With the episodes so far apart and the 'remastered' missions I did not play, I don't know or don't remember what's happening, so it's hard for me to be excited about this.

Maybe but how many shows on TV these days do a serialized storyline? its quite common these days.

It depends on the show. Some storyline do interest me. For example, I loved Babylon 5.

Anyways, the really interesting storylines are very rare. That's why I don't watch a lot of TV....

I find tv very boring now.

sela, queen bitch of the galaxy decides she want so commit genocide on the vulcans, get kidnapped by iconians and decides she wants to commit genocide on the iconians, steal their tech and then commit genocide on the vulcans and the meddling federation.


thats my take on how this will play out

Im glad that Denise Crosby came in and did all of this voicework. But Im kind of tired of the Retun of Sela missions. Recapturing her should of been the end of it. Why in the world isnt she rotting in a Maximum Security Facility?

Not even sure if Ill slow down to enjoy this upcoming episode. Ill simply burn through it so I can avoid the headache.
