These dungeon-style events are now all called Task Force Operations, to make them more uniform and grouped together. After that, players have access to the Task Force Operation version of the Defense, which is a group-based instanced battle. The second mission, “Downfall,” will culminate in the defense of Star Base One. Each faction has their own introduction to the mission (“Secrets”), but it all winds up on the same path: We’re heading to the Delta Volanis Science Station to lend them aid. That part made me pretty happy, because I genuinely enjoyed the mission, and went back through it on my Romulan character I was leveling in my downtime. If you take the Age of Discovery episodes as an established player, you’ll leap right into the heart of the action, without any of the content that occurs down in Starfleet Academy. These missions are both fun for seasoned players, such as myself, and newcomers to the game.

One of the major points of the Star Trek franchise is understanding, science, and exploration. This is a chaotic, war-torn time in the Star Trek universe, which makes it an excellent starting point for the fighting that goes on in STO. There’s only one recorded that I’m aware of.

Fortunately, these episodes are not lengthy, with the first being longer because it contains a tutorial. It is, however, the perfect starting point for a new player to jump into the game. All factions, all races can take part in these episodes without having to make a new character. This is really great for new players, as you start a new character, in a new storyline, and once you complete the first two stories, you’re in the thick of the regular game.
