So are the Klingons a playable race or not?

Disclaimer: I am completely new to this game. I wasnt in beta and just bought a retail copy yesterday.

I have seen references to Klingon missions in other threads, but I cant find anything on the main website that says you have the option of playing as a Klingon. It gives some info about their faction, but thats it. In the game itself, I was never given an option of making a Klingon character...just Federation. Whats the deal?

    you must reach level 6 or complete the stop the signal mission which is available at level 4 to play the klingon faction. or to play a fed klingon you can buy the option through the c store for 240 cryptic points.

    You have to unlock Klingon as a playable race if you want to play the opposing faction. I believe there is a quest that needs to be completed and usually you are around level 5 or 6 before this happens. I only did it once in beta.

    The other way is you can play a federation Klingon by clicking alien race and making your klingon with the character creation options. It will not say 'Klingon' but it will look like a Klingon, except it will be wearing a Fed outfit.

    Or if you want your race to be Klingon immediately in name as well you can buy the race in the C-store.

    This is the way to do it.

    Thanks for the responses. Yes, that answers my question.

    btw, this is actually what I did. I wanted to make a Klingon hybrid that was Federation anyway. So that is how I made my first character.

    But it is nice to know I can still play as a Klingon if I get bored of the Federation side.

    This is not true. I have a Klingon and I have never done that mission. Level 6 is all you need. Honestly I don't know why people think you need to do it.
