New Star Trek Online Interview at TenTonHammer.com

Benjamin J. de la Durantaye from TenTonHammer.com has just posted a interview with Executive Producer Craig Zinkievich and Lead Writer, Christine Thompson.

Ten Ton Hammer: The game takes place in 2409, approximately 30 after Nemesis. Can you tell us a little bit about what's happened since then?

Christine: You're running into a very different world than it was at the end of Deep Space 9 where it looked like a lot of the problems in the Alpha and Beta quadrants had been solved. By 2409, the Khitomer Accords have been dissolved; the Klingons and Federation are at war again. Romulus has been destroyed which you saw in the new movie. The Romulans are trying to rebuild and figure out where their place in the galaxy is. The Borg, who have not been seen in a long time, are starting to reassert themselves. Some lesser known enemies that people just weren't expecting are popping back up. So it's all kind of combining for a time of turmoil for the alpha and beta quadrants where instead of everything working out, everything is starting to fall apart again.

Ten Ton Hammer: Is the war going to be the main focus of the game in contrast to Starfleet seeking out new life? Is there going to be any sort of non-combat type of story that the players can explore?

Christine: There are non-combat stories for players to explore. The Klingon war is one of the major themes of the game and it affects and touches a lot of different things, but it's not the only story of the game.
