Setting & StoryEdit

See also: The Path to 2409

Due to the Hobus supernova and the destruction of Romulus, the quadrant has become destabilized. The Klingon Empire took advantage of the Romulans' weakness, attempting an invasion. The Federation protested this aggression, leading to weakened relations and finally a breakdown of the Khitomer Accords.

A war finally began with the Klingons, whose empire has now expanded to include the Gorn Hegemony, as well as many other states. Meanwhile, there are other forces causing chaos behind the scenes. Species 8472 has returned, and is quietly manipulating the various races of the alpha quadrant. The Borg have begun a new series of incursions as well.

As part of the build-up to the game Cryptic Studios's Star Trek Online website has two sections detailing in-universe information as background to the game. The Path to 2409 provides year by year chronological updates running from 2379 up to the start of the game in 2409. Ships of the Line gives history and specifications on starships featured in the game. A third section, Factions was put up after the game launched; this section provides intelligence information on the various organizations and groups involved in the game's events.

It would appear that Star Trek Online is set in an alternate reality from the current on going book series. In this reality, the Borg were never launched a full scale invasion of the Alpha Quadrant, instead harboring and rebuilding their forces after the lose of their transwarp gates. In thus, the Typhon Pact was never created.
