Tutorial Starship

The Tutorial Starship is the first starship that the player serves on. Different storylines lead to players from each faction gaining command of their respective ships during the tutorial-episode.

Starfleet (25th century)

Tutorial Starship

Class:

Light Cruiser

Captain:

Taggart

Location(s):

Sol System
Pollux System
Vega System

Starfleet players start out as a Cadet at Starfleet Academy and are subsequently assigned on their first training cruise aboard a Miranda Class-Light Cruiser commanded by Captain Taggart. In “Training Cruise”, the player, as first officer, is given the task to take the ship out of spacedock and onto their destination. En route, the ship gets a distress call from the S.S. Break Even and the ship takes a detour to assist. However the distress call ends up being a ruse for Klingons to board the ship. Eventually, the Klingons are repelled, but at the cost of Cpt. Taggart's life. The player subsequently receives a field promotion to acting Lieutenant by Cpt. Nog of the U.S.S. Chimera and is put in temporary command the ship. Once out of the frying pan, the player's ship gets into the fire when the Borg suddenly attack Vega Colony after passing through the Pollux System. The player assists in the temporary defense and eventual evacuation of the colony. Back at Earth Spacedock, Admiral Quinn confirms the player's previous promotion and permanently places the ship under her/his command.

Klingon Empire

Tutorial Starship

Class:

B'rel Bird-of-Prey

Captain:

Jurlek

Location(s):

Edge of Klingon Space

Jurlek's treasonous plan to deliberately let the prisoner be freed.
