The Mirror Universe is exactly like the main universe in Star Trek Online, except it’s all evil. You might think that would provide a fairly limited set of opportunities for dramatic storytelling, but the game’s upcoming Mirror of Discovery update launching on January 23rd makes it clear that there’s still plenty to be mined out as players come face-to-face with Captain Killy of the I.S.S. Discovery. Yes, it’s the unseen figure from the show’s story who appeared to vanish in 2256, but now she’s here in 2410.
Yes, that means time travel. We’re sorry for the Janeways in the audience who try to avoid it.
Players will take part in two feature episodes that pit them against Captain Killy while trying to explore the planet she’s seeking to destroy, as well as taking part in the Omega Molecule Stabilization event returning with this update. There’s even a new Tier 6 Vulcan scout ship reward available. Add in the personal endeavors system and players will have plenty to deal with even beyond the time-traveling evil duplicate captain.
