Star Trek Online’s Next Update Proves Why Time And Dimensional Travel Should Be Used Sparingly

We know, we know. If the Q Continuum and other entities can muck about with time and alternate dimensions, why can’t we? Even excluding the fact that the rest of the Continuum frowned upon our Q doing just those things, the answer may have something to do with them living for near eternities and a bit out of time and space already.

But that’s them. Things are different for the average mortal captain of a space-faring vessel. These individuals should probably not be punching holes in time and space. Otherwise, they can end up having to deal with a transdimensional Reality Vortex of their own making – and some pissed-off Tholians.

At least, that’s what happening in Star Trek Online’s next update, Unraveled. In the MMORPG's new update, coming to PC on May 9, players will take part in a scientific humanitarian mission with Captain Kuumaarke (once again voiced by Kipleigh Brown). During this mission, they’ll discover a group of Tholians messing around with a Reality Vortex, and they’ll have to figure out why.

The update introduces a new episode, a new five-player task force, and new patrols. These are all built off the Team Gambit story arc.
