Star Trek Online Resurrects Captain Killy for Mirror of Discovery

The latest update to Star Trek Online drops today for PC and a later date for Xbox One and Playstation 4. This story was first introduced in the first season of the CBS television series, Star Trek:  Discovery. The Terran Empires Captain Killy will be in Star Trek Online for the first time, voiced by Mary Wiseman from the show. Killy has a ruthless reputation, and was often mentioned in the series, but never shown on -screen during Discovery. Players unravel the mystery of what really happened to her and the crew of the I.S.S. Discovery after it was summoned to the Prime Universe and never seen again. In addition, Captains explore all-new missions, an update to the Endeavors System and special challenges to celebrate Star Trek Online’s 9th anniversary.

Mirror of Discovery picks up where the first installment left off, just after players battled the Klingons with the support of fellow Starfleet Academy-mate, Sylvia Tilly (also voiced by Mary Wiseman). Discovery fans may remember an episode from the first season, where the U.S.S. Discovery and its crew were abruptly transported to the Mirror Universe. At the same time, the starship’s counterpart, the I.S.S. Discovery, was said to be destroyed by the Klingons above Pahvo in the Prime Universe. Over a century has passed since these events took place and Star Trek Online Captains find themselves on the same forest planet where the Terran starship met its fate. Now, after an ion storm transports a group of time-travelers, it’s up to the I.S.S. Discovery‘s survivors and Ensign Tilly’s mirror self (Captain Sylvia “Killy” Tilly of the Terran Empire).
