    Set phasers to awesome when you beam into The Original Series Bundle for Star Trek Online. The creators of this iconic MMO are offering this classic package for 1400 Atari points in the C-Store. (That's approximately $17.50 US.) But you have to get it soon; Cryptic will not offer the bundle for this price for too long. This new package includes all of your favorite items from the original Star Trek series. Outfit your ship with the classic interiors like the bridge, engineering, and transporter room. Defend Federation space with the black and white Type 2 Phaser. This retro blaster will increase effectiveness as you level. Of course, what would a TOS bundle be without the uniforms James Kirk, Scotty, and Doctor McCoy wore in the television series? Cruise past the break to see a short one-minute video trailer featuring all the items in this package, then warp over to STO's C-Store for more screenshots and purchase information.

    But in a time of increased hostilities with the Klingon Empire, the universe of Trek is reminding me more and more of how things were in The Original Series where asking Federation officers to trust a Klingon was akin to pulling teeth -- lots and lots of teeth. Some may claim that Cryptic is forcing the lore to work for them, but even during Deep Space Nine the Klingons withdrew from the Khitomer Accords and attacked the Cardassians.
