"Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek.

The voice actor sounds a lot like the fellow that plays the Vorta in the DS9 featured episodes.
I could be imagining that though. I rather enjoyed the voice work from that series. Are there credits somewhere?
I can also say whatever group this fellow is representing won't be reuniting with Vulcan anytime soon. Insert Howard Dean scream.

About two days until we can march under the raptors wings on Holodeck! I already marched under the raptors wings a bit on Tribble and I gotta say LOR is really good! The new KDF content is good but a bit buggy. Of course Cryptic has NEVER treated the KDF with much respect so no surprise there. However LOR is surprisingly very well done. Bravo on the Romulan faction Cryptic. I hope Cryptic keeps up the superb work on the Romulan faction.
I have been waiting to play a Romulan Captain since STO open beta back in January of 2010!
A while after STO launched, Cryptic promised that there would eventually be a Romulan faction but they didn't know when. Now we know its May 21st, 2013!
Empress Sela, was assimulated by the Borg drone named Tasa Yar! :eek:
The only thing I'm not happy about in LoR is that all the cross-faction missions I've played so far assume you're either a Starfleet officer or a KDF warrior. Kind of immersion breaking when you're a Romulan or a Reman.

But the rest is awesome!
Some Dialogue is altered though. In one of the Mirror Universe missions, O'Brien will point out that you're Romulan.
"What we knew is gone. Our home, our lives, all that we were, dust. Blasted across empty, heartless skies. But we live. Our legacy lives. Within every ship we fly, upon every world we touch. In our hearts, in yours. There will be challenge. You will know fear. But you will overcome! You will survive! And answer vengeance with blood. You will do as you must. Rule cannot be handed to the faithless! Our legacy cannot be lost to villains! Bury the past, to face the future! In enemies, find allies. These is no price we have not paid, no loss we have not felt: our dead world, our long suffering ... these are not ends! We are not ended! For your crew, for your people, for this new home ... we must face all doubt. We must break the strong who would destroy us, and overcome the impossible! We must fight against any, and all! We must ... we will ... for WE ... ARE ... ROMULAN!"

I saw the new IGN trailer today it's good but except the end line is a bit strange...
For we are Romulan, that should be the KDF line ?
For we are Klingon's is the original line ?
Discus :
"Coffee: the finest organic suspension ever devised. It's got me through the worst of the last three years. I beat the Borg with it."
Hrm. Somebody mind transcribing the video?
I can later but I'd like to make some points and I can jump straight into making them after I do some stuff today if I have the text of it.
And I'm sure folks who work jobs and are watching with the sound off would appreciate it.

I tried redubbing it in one take, just for fun.

Timing is not perfect and I didn't have the original music.
