Star Trek’s Most Shocking Moments… (Comms Highlights)

Since the first series of Star Trek in 1966, the franchise has gone on to become one of the most iconic and influential global television franchises in history. Each series has delivered new surprises, discoveries and bold revelations, alongside its beloved characters and traits that are echoed throughout popular culture, over 50 years later. With stories of exploration, both of space and of ourselves, Star Trek has developed a reputation for it's deep and thoughtful moments and often times any modern iteration thrown aside for changing the formula. But shocks and surprises are nothing new, nor is action and suspense. Our bold heroes aren't as clean cut and perfect as we'd like to think. After a series of twists, turns and character flaws led the charge of Discovery's first season, in anticipation of the second – which is set to […]

Discovery Recap: An Obol for Charon (S2E4)

On a mission to hunt down a renegade Spock and find out what he knows about the mysterious Red Angels that have potentially driven him to the brink of madness, Discovery's pursuit gets an unexpected interruption when a mysterious sphere of energy pulls them out of warp and plays havoc with ship systems. With on board functions from life support to translators suddenly failing ship-wide, the crew try to escape the sphere's grasp as Burnham and an extremely ill Saru try to find out what it is and how to escape it as they patch together Discovery. Meanwhile in Engineering, Stamets and Starfleet hitch-hiker Jet Reno are trapped in the spore drive lab as it falls into shutdown, but as systems fail the mycelial network alien Stamets had previously extracted from Tilly escapes and locks itself to the young ensign, […]

Fleet Alert!

Meet The Fleet: Mark Mitchell

Joining SFC can sometimes be a whirlwind as you'll be processed by our Administration, passed oer to Academy, introduced to your CO and meet other members through Europa or other means. Sometimes it can be tricky getting to grips with who's who within the fleet administration. This week we're shining a spotlight on our HQ staff to introduce the team to new and potential members, or just as a refresher course for those who have been on the sidelines during our fleet wide shakeup over the past few years. As we Meet The Fleet, we figured we'd start at the top with one of our longest serving members and current Director of Operations. The Director of Operations has one of the toughest roles within the fleet. Effectively a CEO and Chairman rolled into one, DOPS has the responsibility of overseeing […]

Age of Discovery: A New Era of Content Delivery from Star Trek Online (Comms Highlights)

Ever since the introduction of Star Trek Discovery, players of Star Trek Online were eager to see the show's content drop into the game so they could immerse themselves in the new vision of the 23rd century. Despite the general thought that such updates would be a while away, the STO team surprised their user base with an announcement that, despite a pretty hefty recent release of DS9 anniversary content, they were ready to take us to the Age of Discovery. Up until this point offerings of Discovery content were limited. Welcome of course, but still limited. Celebrating the launch of the series, players were able to grab new uniforms late last year matching the Discovery style and soon after a lockbox set was released including the Crossfield class – complete with Spore tech – and for the Klingons, T'Kuvma's […]

Discovery Recap: Point of Light (S3E3)

While Discovery and it's crew dash through the stars on their new mission, finding a new groove in the process, the Klingons had been left on the sidelines since L'Rell captured the throne to become Chancellor; Tyler in tow hoping to figure out who he really was. Point of Light brings the Klingons back to the forefront as we catch up with L'Rell's reign as chancellor to find that her fight to complete T'Kuvma's unification of the Empire has been a rougher challenge than she had hoped... The Ascension Much like the first seasons Context is for Kings, we again see the third episode bring the pace down as we return to play catch up with the Klingons. Last we saw of L'Rell, she was encouraged to stop playing everyone from the shadows and step into the light, using her […]

Discovery Recap: New Eden (S2E2)

In a return to the original series format for Star Trk, Discovery's New Eden was a strange combination of intriguing character arcs and a huge dose of nostalgia. In the second chapter of the seasons mystery, Captain Pike learns two things; one, there's a red burst pointing in the direction of a far off distress signal. Two, he's just taken command of a ship that can zap through space in an instant thanks to a magic mushroom highway. Ignoring the law for the greater good, Pike asks Stamets to strap himself into the spore drive once again to get them to the source of the signal where they find a remarkably Earth-like world filled with pre-warp humans with limited technology and a strange faith... Terralisia In it's run so far, Discovery has been more adventurous in it's format, creating it's […]
