Klingon content and advancement drastically different from the Federation.

Earlier today VideoGamer.com posted an interview with Craig Zinkievich on Star Trek Online, one unexpected new piece of information is that the Klingon side will have allot less content then the Federation in which they fight non-player character ships. Instead of killing NPCs they will have to fight other players to advance through the game.
VideoGamer.com: One of the things a lot of fans are excited about is being able to play as a Klingon in the opposite faction, but we don't know as much about how that is going to work as we do of playing as a Federation Captain. I know Klingon gameplay is more PvP focused, but can you give us some more detail on exactly how that's going to work?

Craig Zinkievich: In a month or two, PR cycle wise, we're going to end up focusing on the Klingons. It's either November or December is a big Klingon focus. But in terms of advancement, in terms of bridge officers and the mechanics, skill-based kits and weapons, they are similar to the Federation in terms of the way you advance through the game. On the content side, though, it is drastically different. They are a lot more PvP focused, a lot less PvE and they gain the far majority of their advancement through PvP. But we'll talk more about that in a couple of months.
