Fighting Feds?

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
Took my new captain to fight hostile encounters in DS9 sector and found myself fighting Federation warships, including battleships. I am Federation so why am I fighting Feds? This was a Defend mission I think and there were 1 or 2 other Fed player ships who came in but we had up to 10 squadrons of Federation ships as enemies.

I realize I must have missed something here. Comb the forums occasionally to try to get information but this seemed wierd. I had just finished trying out my first Klingon so at first I thought something had bugged my comp but the other players also had Fed ships. I would be grateful if one of you more experienced players could help me out here. Thanks

    Those are Mirror Universe/Terran Empire ships.

    I always pretend they're the people on these forums who disagree with me.

    What they mean is that those federation ships are from another universe, where the Federation's "Evil twin", The Terran Empire, lives. There are ways for the Terran Empire to get into our universe and now they are trying to take over Federation space in the way they do best; shoot now, no questions later.

    So you, as a Federation captain, naturally do not want them taking away everything you fight for and love. Since they are not too keen with diplomacy, you are best off speaking with your Beams and Cannons.

    Mirror Universe...ooooooOK! That one slipped by me somewhere. Understand now just had no idea this was in game. There wasn't any explanation that I knew about when I went in. Thanks for the update folks, I appreciate the info.

    We have an entire MU/TE squad that does some nice role-playing about how we're putting one over on the Federation, and all the planning we're doing for the invasion. :)
