Star Trek Online – Day 1

By alex

Captains Log, Stardate 63546.6.

6pm last night Cryptic activated the servers, and after 5 mins or so I was able to log into the game and create my first Character on the live servers.

You start the game as a Federation Ensign on board your first ship – Miranda Class – USS (Insert Name you chose) in the middle of a massive battle with the Borg!

Quickly you’re told to rush to the bridge where the captain needs to see you! Once there, he orders you across to a nearby ship in need of help! Off to the transporter room!

Wow that transporter pad is BIG! A few seconds later I’m aboard the other ship – ready to meet up with their Emergency Medical Hologram who’s the highest ranking officer left on board. The Borg have oddly been killing all the senior officers on the ship…curious…I hope my ship’s crew will be ok??? So after I learn how to use my tri-corder its off to help some of the crew.

I bumped into some Borg on the way – took quick action and finished them off pretty quick with my phaser. That showed em!

Moving through the ship quickly helping to fix sub systems, and restore power to the crippled starship I beamed back to my ship to find that a Borg boarding party had beamed across while I was aboard the other ship and had killed all the officers! Oh no! And, by some bizarre twist of fate, I was now the highest ranking member of the crew!

I was now in command of the USS Retribution. My first job was to quickly beam off some hurt people from stranded ships nearby before they blew up, then meet up with another ship who repaired my major systems on board and then it was off to fight the Borg! A quick battle ensued – the Borg were having some problems it seems, but needless to say – the Federation won the day!

However the victory was bitter sweet – my captain was dead, and all the other officers. I was quickly promoted to captain of my vessel and began my voyages around the alpha quadrant!
