Star Trek Online launches "Khitomer Accord" mission

When the United Federation of Planets and the Klingon Empire put an end to their longstanding hostilities, the document signed was known as the Khitomer Accords. In Star Trek Online, that peace has largely evaporated, but the game's newest special task force is named for the historic treaty anyway. After all, whatever conflicts pass between the two powers, they have a history of getting back together when the need arises. And when there's a threat from the enigmatic Borg that both need to respond to, it seems more than likely that both sides will need to work together.

Calling back to the introductory missions of the game against strangely-damaged Borg ships, the mission takes place in the Vega system, where chronometric particles have been detected en masse. The last time something like this was seen, it signaled a concentrated push by the Borg to rewrite human history (in Star Trek: First Contact). If you'd been waiting for the resolution of the threads from the tutorial, everything should be coming to light. With the promise of purple-quality Admiral gear and a fight against a "well-known" ship that's been assimilated, Star Trek Online players can begin enjoying the newest bit of endgame content immediately.
