    I would say not, any information of concern to current customers would be posted here, the purpose of this article is to bring new players into the sto fold from the star trek magazine, not a bad idea :)

    Oh, that is completely fine. But since we are being encouraged to purchase it, I am simply asking if there is anything new to us.

    I think as a side note they mention one can play as a Klingon...

    ..if one really wanted too...

    But it's only there for the 12 to 18 percent of their readers that might be interested.

    While short, I certainly enjoyed the short story in the previous(?) issue about the meeting of Captain Va'Kel Shon and Captain Data.

    Hopefully the fiction in this issue is just as good.

    >the crew and there's some more exclusive fiction!

    Sounds like more background and story about the Enterprise-F crew we met on First Contact Day?

    Two new crew members of the Enterprise F were introduced that I don't believe were mentioned in-game. Kirayoshi O'Brien as Chief Engineer, and a female Caitian named Kyona (the one seen on the Belfast) as Tactical Officer/Chief of Security.

    The story centers on Jirelle Kav as she oversees maintenance during the F's shakedown cruise, shortly before "Boldly They Rode." It was a good read, and I look forward to more.

    Go light on the jumja sticks, Kirayoshi, or you'll get stuck in a Jefferies Tube!

    Shame we don't get those sort of creative energies in game, as opposed to the Magazine. We're waiting 7 seasons for an update to the main story. It better be a huge expansion :/

    Last I recall, Kestrl is the one writing these stories and she is the Lore keeper with STO. There is only so much "story" that you can write and then you have to "wait" until the other departments catch up. Think of the foundry, you can write the story in X time but it takes Y time to bring that story to life via visuals, sounds, etc.

    Its disappointing to only get backstories like this from another source like the star trek mag when they should be available in game as well. I read the mag anyway so i'll read about it when i get it but it feels like we're being short changed as loyal players :(
