The game&#8217;s exploration of the universe created by the <em>CBS<\/em> television series, <em>Star Trek: Discovery<\/em>, continues with new missions featuring Captain Gabriel Lorca (voiced by<strong> Jason Isaacs<\/strong>) and Commander Ellen Landry (voiced by <strong>Rekha Sharma<\/strong>). <em>Star Trek Online<\/em> players will fight alongside the<em> U.S.S. Buran<\/em> and learn what happened to both Lorca and Landry, before they joined the crew of the <em>U.S.S Discovery<\/em>. <em>Rise of Discovery<\/em> also introduces a brand new reputation and a ship system update that scales all Tier 6 starships to individual player levels, granting all Captains access to the game\u2019s finest vessels.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;After the first season of <em>Star Trek: Discovery<\/em> drew to an exciting close, many fans were left with unanswered questions about Gabriel Lorca. <em>Star Trek Online<\/em> players can now uncover the truth behind the Federation captain&#8217;s past through the eyes of his trusted commanding officer, Ellen Landry. <em>Rise of Discovery<\/em> takes place when both Lorca and Landry were assigned to the <em>U.S.S. Buran<\/em>, before they beamed aboard the <em>U.S.S. Discovery<\/em>. Players answer a distress call from the Federation starship after it sustains heavy damage from Klingon forces, led by J&#8217;Ula, the matriarch of House Mo&#8217;Kai. The attack leaves its sole survivor, Captain Lorca, stranded on a desolate ice moon littered with Klingon search parties. His fate now lies in the hand of <em>Star Trek Online<\/em> players, who must team up with Commander Landry to ensure his survival.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>Rise of Discovery<\/em> features two new episodes, voiced by <em>Star Trek: Discovery<\/em>&#8216;s very own Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy from the<em> Harry Potter<\/em> films) and Rekha Sharma (<em>Battlestar Galactica, Alien vs. Predators: Requiem<\/em>). The update also introduces a new Tier 6 reputation, &#8211; <em>Discovery Legends<\/em> &#8211; which allows players to earn <em>Discovery<\/em>-themed rewards by completing Task Force Operations. Starting May 14, all of <em>Star Trek Online<\/em>&#8216;s Tier 6 starships will be converted to player level-less scaling, allowing Captains with varying experience to command these powerful vessels at any time. Additional details on these game features will be revealed at launch.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Check out the official announcement trailer below.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aGcO_p8EqOQ\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For Star Trek: Discovery fans who are also gamers; Star Trek Online has an update&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":50699,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9623],"tags":[9825,2482],"class_list":["post-50698","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-gaming","tag-rise-of-discovery","tag-star-trek-online"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/STonlineRiseofDiscovery042519.jpg",580,225,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/STonlineRiseofDiscovery042519-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/STonlineRiseofDiscovery042519.jpg",580,225,false],"medium_large":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/STonlineRiseofDiscovery042519.jpg",580,225,false],"large":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/STonlineRiseofDiscovery042519.jpg",580,225,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/STonlineRiseofDiscovery042519.jpg",580,225,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/STonlineRiseofDiscovery042519.jpg",580,225,false],"newsphere-slider-full":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/STonlineRiseofDiscovery042519.jpg",580,225,false],"newsphere-featured":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/STonlineRiseofDiscovery042519.jpg",580,225,false],"newsphere-medium":["https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/STonlineRiseofDiscovery042519.jpg",580,225,false]},"author_info":{"display_name":"T&#39;Bonz","author_link":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/author\/tbonz\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/categories\/gaming\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Gaming<\/a>","tag_info":"Gaming","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50698","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=50698"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50698\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":50700,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50698\/revisions\/50700"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/50699"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50698"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=50698"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=50698"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
