Nero!

Just noticed while sending out shuttles that one of the mission text refers to Ambassador Spock and "Nero, the mining ship captain". I was rushing too quickly to take a screenshot, but yeah. First in-game explicit acknowledgment of the Kelvinverse.

And we all expect STT to incorporate Picard into future characters in the game

That depends. Can you provide citations for your answer? 😆
Trying to give it credibility through over-explanation is a waste of your time.
Nothing has changed regarding adding crew from the 3 movies from what is commonly referred to as the Kelvinverse/Kelvin timeline/JJverse and whatnot.
Good, because those movies are best left forgotten.
Sorry, no take-backs.
That prequel will reference Nero and Spock, thereby introducing Nero to DB's existing license.
Their mistake was leaking the information early, not introducing a character from the JJ movies.
Good luck with that. 🖖
For three hours, I had that same excitement and same thought. This week has been full of disappointments. (Looking at you, Atlanta and Los Angeles.)
You have my support DB if you put the new movies into the game. I like all trek. And if you put an Anton Yelchin Chekov into the game I will definitely buy it. RIP Anton.
Well, while I wouldn't put it past them to do that in the Picard series, it would officially violate the laws of the way time travel works in Star Trek. In the entirety of modern Trek, time travel would result in changes to the existing timeline. Data's head in TNG, Sisko being Gabriel Bell in DS9, Braxton in Voyager. Just a few small examples of the many that exist. And please, don't tell me there are different "types" of time travel. If you travel from the future to the past, manipulate an event, and the changes exist in your timeline, then that's just the way it is. The notion that an alternate universe, the "Kelvinverse," would be created from one such time travel event violates their own in-universe rules they've set up.
Granted, no one probably cares about any of this except me.
He had to do something big to differentiate his timeline from prime. The problem for me was that then he dropped that storyline after that movie and made only passing mention to it instead of focusing the next movie on the issues that it caused. The Federation would have been changed significantly with the destruction of one of its founding members. Seems like if Spock was filled with overwhelming rage by the destruction of Vulcan others would have as well and would want to do something to Romulus. The destruction of Vulcan would have also caused huge stresses on the Federation that could have caused fracturing or threat of fracturing the Federation.
Agreed. I thought they did a good job in highlighting the differences caused by the surprise destruction of the Kelvin by a future ship...it’s disappointing they didn’t take that one step further and provide a little more connection between the three films.
I'm not posting this because I wonder if any of these are being planned for inclusion in the game. Even before today's Nero "error", we've seen plenty of characters be named in event or game text who still haven't turned up, or took literal years if they have. I'm just fascinated how the writers of the game work, how they came to use these names, and why there are several of these curiosities in this one event.
Wan'jin, an emissary to the Sakari, a secretive underground race, has sent a subspace message about the theft of heat-shielded metals from the Sakaran underground vaults. Look into this report.
The Sakari were the people in "Blood Fever", where Chakotay's away team first found evidence that Voyager had entered Borg space. I couldn't find any Wan'jin on Memory Alpha or Beta.
FERENGI ALLIANCE "Treasure Hunt"
A Ferengi operative has come into possession of a map, believed to be pointing to a Travisian supply cache hidden in the Lyshan system. Follow the map and see what it's pointing to.
The Lyshan system is where Picard, Crusher, and Worf were to rendezvous for extraction after their mission on Celtris III ("Chain of Command"). I can find no entry on Memory Alpha or Beta for what the hell a Travisian is. I am, however, going to adopt that as the adjective for things related to me. This rabbit hole, for instance, is definitely a Travisian line of curiosity.
MAQUIS "Space Pirate"
Starfleet Intelligence agent Michael Thom has new information about the activities of Ivra Kav, an Orion privateer. Meet Michael at the provided coordinates for a briefing, and watch for members of the Shadow Market.
This was the one that caught my eye after Nero, because I didn't recognize either of those names. My curiosity was further piqued when a Google search was not helpful. I eventually found on Memory Beta an entry for "Orion Ruse", a module in FASA's Star Trek RPG. They have them as Michael Thorn and Ivra Kerav, though, making me wonder if the names were altered so as to avoid infringement legalities or if they were just misremembered. I had the same confusion about the last one:
MAQUIS "How Suite It Is"
Clegg, on Khosala II, has been working on a more advanced framework for holosuite technology. His computer has been hacked. Find the origin of the hack, and scramble the data stream.
Pretty sure that's Plegg on Khosla II. He was the Ferengi whose vaccuum dessicated remains were purchased by Quark in "The Alternate" only to turn up still alive. But he and that planet are canon, so there's no obvious reason for them to be misspelled, which is why I wonder if Michael Thorn and Ivra Kerav were misspelled on purpose or by accident.
That was a very Travisian analysis. 🖖
JJ gonna sue somebody?
DB is secretly honoring Travis for all his extracurricular submissions to the forums by giving him his own race of followers
Not that there’s been a lot of research on its effects, but it would be highly doubtful that cobalt (I) selenide would ever be a “condiment” for humans based on the chemistry of cobalt and selenium compounds. DS9’s writers really dropped the ball on that one...
