The Tzenkethi Are Headed To Star Trek Online

The Tzenkethi, an adversary race from the Alpha Quadrant that first appeared in Star Trek Deep Space 9, is finally making its way to Perfect World's free-to-play Star Trek MMO. STO's Tzenkethi differ a good bit from the ones we were introduced to in Deep Space Nine. A "brute" type, this version of the race is still reptilian but much more imposing, with a dragon-like head, rhino-ish skin, and four arms.

The Tzenkethi are a militant warp-capable race and are designed in such a way that players can improve in their ability to fight the race by learning about them. They boast a wide array of technology giving them something to use in every situation. Most of their tech is designed to keep them alive, but that doesn't mean there isn't a way around it.

The STO devs have provided a series of images to show off the design process. We've included one below, but you can see the rest on the official post.
