Star Trek Online Takes Place in “Prime” Reality
So, with the new Star Trek movie out, how is the classic Trek MMO Star Trek Online dealing with it? MMORPG.com is reporting that the official site states that the film takes place in an alternate reality.
Star Trek Online is set in the “prime” Star Trek reality. This is the timeline of the five television series and the first 10 movies. It is the world in which the Gorn attacked Cestus III, Kirk fought Khan in the Mutara Nebula, Picard explored the galaxy, the Federation fought the Dominion War, Voyager was stranded in the Delta Quadrant and Captain Archer and the crew of the NX-01 showed us how it all began.
Events in the movie that happened in the prime timeline (the destruction of Romulus, and the disappearance of Spock and Nero) have affected STO. You can learn more about the aftermath of these events in the Path to 2409 and in STO itself.
It’s an interesting compromise – let us know what you think.
