Don the official uniforms of the United Federation of Planets or the Klingon Empire, choose the path of Tactical, Science, or Engineering specialties, command Away Teams, captain your very own starship, avoid Borg assimilation, even breed Tribbles, all in Gene Roddenberry’s larger-than-life space epic, and all for free.
What is happening now
Star Trek Online is a free-to-play MMORPG where players explore the Star Trek universe through space combat, ground missions, and crew management across multiple eras and factions. Now in its fifteenth year of operation, the game continues to expand its narrative and character roster. The upcoming Rediscovered season, launching September 22 on PC and November 10 on console platforms, marks a significant milestone for the game's storytelling. Ethan Peck reprises his role as Spock, joining the cast of voice actors, while the season also incorporates archival dialogue from Leonard Nimoy. The new season introduces a fresh episode alongside these character additions, continuing the game's tradition of tying narrative expansions to Star Trek's broader franchise presence.
