I'm wondering if this new TOS temporal character will be similar to the RR characters, with their own story arc that joins with the 25th century story, but will have access to both Fed and Kling sides at the same time. Since in the 29th-31st centuries everyone is in the Federation. So you get recruited to be a temporal…
I'm sure all of these questions will be answered in the coming days/weeks as they release more announcements, as it is written in the release: "This is only the first of many blog posts with detailed information on everything that’s shipping with Agents of Yesterday, so stay tuned and I’ll see you in game!"
Because the two factions facing off in the cold war use proxy wars and minor countries/species to "fight" each other. Same thing happened between the US and USSR.
I can see it now: Roll a new character that acts as a temporal agent from the 23rd century. Grows up fighting with Kirk and the Enterprise, gets recruited into the Temporal Cold War with access to the 24th, 29th and 31st centuries. Can travel through time almost at will.
