4 min read
Today, those on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 will be able to play Star Trek Online‘s Mirror of Discovery. Reported by TrekToday late last month, this update gives more details about the game.
Here is the official press release from Perfect World Entertainment:
“Today, Perfect World Entertainment Inc., a leading publisher of free-to-play MMORPGs, and Cryptic Studios announced Mirror of Discovery is now available for Star Trek Online on Xbox One and PlayStation4. Console players can download the latest update for the free-to-play Star Trek MMORPG and uncover the fate of the Terran Empire’s Captain Killy (voiced by Mary Wiseman) from the popular CBS television series, Star Trek: Discovery. Xbox One and PlayStation4 players now have the opportunity to take on the leader of the I.S.S. Discovery herself in brand new missions, which all take place in the universe of Star Trek: Discovery. Mirror of Discovery also introduces an exciting update to the Task Force Operation System and special challenges to celebrate the anniversary of Star Trek Online.”
“In true Star Trek Online fashion, Mirror of Discovery expands on a pivotal story that was briefly touched on in Star Trek: Discovery. Captain Killy was introduced during the show’s first season, when the crew of the U.S.S. Discovery crossed paths with the Terran Empire and first learned of the cruel Mirror version of Starfleet’s Sylvia Tilly. Though fans had the opportunity to watch Tilly emulate the character, the real Killy never appeared on the small screen, marking Mirror of Discovery as her official debut.
“In the first chapter of the continuing saga, Age of Discovery, players teamed up with Ensign Sylvia Tilly in the midst of a brutal war with Klingon forces. The journey continues with Mirror of Discovery, as Starfleet officers travel to the mysterious forest planet of Pahvo to investigate an unusual disturbance. An intense ion storm has enveloped the planet, somehow transporting a group of wanderers from another time period. Among these survivors is Captain Sylvia ‘Killy’ Tilly, from the Terran Empire, who slaughtered her way into the captain’s seat of the I.S.S Discovery. Up until this point, it was assumed that the starship was destroyed by the Klingons at the same time that Starfleet’s U.S.S. Discovery crossed into the Mirror Universe. The fate of Pahvo now lies in the hands of the Federation, who must stop Captain Killy and her remaining crew members from annihilating the planet.
“These events all transpire across all-new missions featured in Mirror of Discovery. A full list of content introduced with today’s console update includes:
- Two New Featured Episodes – Captains hailing from all of the game’s various factions can experience two new playable episodes featuring Captain Sylvia Tilly of the Terran Empire.
- Para Pacem – Players will witness the I.S.S. Discovery‘s fated confrontation with Klingon forces, in the middle of an ion storm above Pahvo.
- Illusion of Communication – Captains must stop Captain Killy from using Terran Empire technology to manipulate Pahvo’s peaceful biosphere.
- Anniversary Events – Star Trek Online celebrates nine years of exploring the Star Trek universe from within by bringing back the popular Omega Molecule Stabilization event. Players who stabilize Q’s scattered Omega particles can earn free Omega Particle Tech Upgrades and prize vouchers, redeemable for the new T6 Vulcan Scout Ship featured in Star Trek: Discovery.
- Battle at the Binary Stars – By popular demand, the Battle at the Binary Stars Event is now available as a Task Force Operation, with the debut of Advanced and Elite modes that will challenge even the most experienced players.
“In the weeks following the launch, an update will also be made to the Personal Endeavor System on Xbox One and PlayStation4. Captains who enjoy the game’s Endeavor System will be able to complete unique daily challenges to earn account-wide performance boosts in a wide variety of combat mechanics. In addition, console players will soon be able to participate in Pahvo Dissension, a new Featured Task Force Operation that sends captains back to the planet of Pahvo to deal with the aftermath of Mirror of Discovery.
“Star Trek Online is teaming up with For Fans By Fans for a Star Trek Fan Forge, the Mirror of Discovery Challenge. Participants can submit fan art for a chance to have their design featured on officially licensed merchandise. All entrants will receive special in-game prizing for Star Trek Online on PC and the top five designers will be granted an exclusive title and code to unlock the Discovery Operations Bundle.
