Disclaimer: This will contain spoilers for the Terran Gambit Arc of Star Trek Online
Note: I play Star Trek Online on PlayStation which has only just received the end to this story line and has different bugs than the PC. Because of this I will not be commenting on any specific about the bugs or similar and just how fun I find each mission and TFO to play as well as how I found the overall storyline.

Now we have finally reached the end of these story concerning the lovely Terran Universe I thought it we would have a look back at the past 4 seasons and what they added to Star Trek Online. Firstly the obvious ones are the 6 new missions and 4 new TFO’s and 3 new patrols. Two TFO’s were also revamped to fit in better with the new Storyline adding to number of TFO’s associated with these seasons. Although at some point almost all of these has a big bug of some kind and people have found some are far easier to get their event points with all of them are pretty fun to play and work well in the storyline.

The reward for the missions will get you a selection of ground weapons, a new ground support and some space weapons to help you and costumes. For those of us lucky enough to play along with the release of these missions and fill out the event with daily progress we got 4 new ships, A Mirror Janeway Bridge Officer and a Full set of ground weapons, armour and abilities from the events that have occurred during the course of this arc.

The Terran Gambit follows increasing incursions of Terran Universe fleets in order to gain more power for Emperor Crusher allowing him to take over the Prime Universe using the Power of the Mirror V'ger, C'qer or Conqueror VI. The mirror version is virtually identical to its prime counterpart but the probe at the centre was called Conqueror instead of Voyager.

I mostly enjoyed my time playing the story missions which I feel that overall have a good mix between space and ground battles with well-planned out final battles that were almost always lots of fun to try and work out. The cut scenes look good and it’s nice to get more Star Trek actors in STO, I would like to give a shoutout to Will Wheaton who sounds great especially in Fujiwara Effect.

The missions involving the Inquisitor (Mirror version of yourself) are a bit weird as you lose all your gear which I would prefer not to as it’s pretty much always worse for the situation on hand and having what looks almost like your character having voice actors got some getting used to but was fine after awhile but they do work well in relation to the storyline and add a healthy challenge.

The TFO’s are mostly good but when trying to get my daily progress I mainly played the Iuppiter Iratus ,as I know quite a few others did because it was just the easiest to knock out. I did play all the other Task Force Operations though and they are fun, apart from the end of Bird Cage with Jackson and Johnson who I found a real pain to try to defeat with my team but that might just be my gear and my team’s gear. Operation Wolf and Storm Chasers are pretty good ground missions which I don’t mind playing although I prefer space gameplay myself.

A memorable moment for me was in the mission The Fujiwhara Effect where you fight the Terrans around Earth Space Dock with C’qer and V’ger fighting each other. Having the normal amount of ships around ESD as you see in the social hub but with everyone fighting each other and the multiple different fleets with their different types is ships was a really fun fight to see and I wish there were more battles in social zones like this, or just a free for all version of ESD to do this.
