STO Feature Episode 1: “Cold Call” heats up conflict against Breen
Villains must find Star Trek Online captains so predictable. As soon as inhabitants of an alien planet–in this case, the Defera–signal for help, we immediately send in our massive ships to rescue them.
But warding off the invaders won’t be as easy this time around against the armor-clad Breen, a long-time Klingon rival and major antagonist in the first three Feature Episodes scheduled for Star Trek Online.
The Breen have formidable battle prowess and seem to have prepared a great deal for the invasion. It’s obvious that such a planet-wide offensive has deeper motives, and these will be laid bare in the next two weeks when Episode 2: “Out in the Cold” and Episode 3: “Cold Comfort” go live on Sept. 4 and Sept. 11, respectively.
In promoting this newest Star Trek Online feature, Cryptic Studios also released a new video showing how ground and space battles will play out in each episode.
It’s a nice lead-up to this month’s Season 2 launch if only for the Breen obsession in hiding behind armor units. Some say they’re super ugly or require some sort of special oxygen from their planet that’s why you’ll never see one without his suit on. I wonder how they sleep?
