As many of you are keenly aware, the release date for the new expansion of Star Trek Online, Victory is Life has recently been announced. The date is set for June 5th on PC, no date yet for the console, but I'm sure you guys will also get it!

The expansion itself is Deep Space Nine-themed, taking Captains on a maiden journey to the Gamma Quadrant, where they team up with crew members from DS9 to battle the Hur’q. These include Quark (Armin Shimerman), Odo (René Auberjonois), Kira (Nana Visitor), Doctor Bashir (Alexander Siddig) and eight other characters voiced by the original cast members.

The expansion also introduces a brand new Jem’Hadar playable faction, increased level cap, seven new episodes, an all-new Gamma Quadrant Sector Battlezone and other gameplay features. Additional details will be revealed at launch.

Since the announcement, we have also had a discussion thread running. The discussion is somewhat mixed, some people are a bit underwhelmed, while others are looking forward to the update. With the model updates being some of the most popular changes.
