Cryptic Studios has published a new installment of the timeline of the Star Trek universe, looking at pivotal events in the year 2381.

Starfleet is monitoring the deteriorating state of the Romulan Star Empire, which appears to be moving toward open civil war. Federation ambassadors are consulting with representatives of the Klingon Empire and other Alpha and Beta quadrant powers about a proposed course of action to either bring peace to the Romulans or control any conflict that spills out of Romulan space.

The imperial forces led by Tomalak have skirmished repeatedly with Reman ships in the space between their two worlds. The Romulan blockade of Remus is holding for now, leading to concerns that the Remans are suffering from shortages of food and supplies. The United Federation of Planets has offered humanitarian aid to both Romulus and Remus.

While Ambassador Spock has returned to Federation space, the unification movement he founded continues to grow on Romulus. Xiomek of the Reman Kepeszuk Battalion has allied with the Unification movement, seeing the underground organization as another population that has been exploited by the Romulan government, although the two sides disagree on how best to reach their goals. Xiomek is promoting a military solution to force the Romulans to accede to the Remans’ demands, while the Unification movement is calling for a nonviolent, diplomatic alternative.

Your current players are your foundation for future success.

This is a fantastic timeline for an MMO.  The possibilities are nearly endless.  I also like the hints at science and exploration missions as well as military ones.  Nice options!

I hope they do this title justice. They are playing with fire if not. Trekkies will not be forgiving.

Personally it's going to take one hell of a space game to pull me away from the longevity EvE offers. With so much on the horizon for that game. I can't see leaving it.

I do however like the timeline.
