STO....

The latest Discovery based element of Star Trek Online is a task force "dungeon" for five players based on the "battle of the binary stars".

Haven help me it uses voice clips from the series or at least voice actors using the same phonetic style of "Klingon" used in Disco land. They are not real Klingons................................ Did I mention I dislike the Discovery series, that it's an abomination and should be cleansed from the face of the planet..... 

Anyway, if you like it fair enough, enjoy the series box-set.

The task force is a standard affair, destroy waves of ships and rescue federation escape pods; destroy waves of ships and survive long enough for the 'battle simulation' to collect enough data and end. Bla Bla Bla. It's something that can be sleep walked through.

The game battle does a good job of recreating the TV show scenes.... Or so I'm told....

The background scene does look cool.


Doing the task force gains you marks as well as a voucher/token. 14 of which can be handed in towards a reputation project. 


The rewards for completing the project are 50k dilithium, 500 fleet marks and 250 marks of your choice. There is also the "Beacon of Kahless". Which is a nice reward, on use it removes all threat unless you are a tank (using threat etc.) and also calls in 4 ships to fight for you for 45 seconds.


There is a shortcut pack that gives 10 vouchers and a tech upgrade for 800 Zen.


I'm tempted to take the shortcut. The torch is a reward worth having.
