Stormfall is the next chapter in our ongoing saga with the mirror universe trailer has been released today as part of Destination Chicago due May 10
Summary from u/JRTD753 on Reddit who attended go give him a upvote https://www.reddit.com/r/sto/comment..._panel_wrapup/
- I arrived five minutes before the panel started as the Lyft driver didn't know the way. But it worked out! As I entered I actually headed up with Ambassador Kael himself on the escalator. I intorduced myself and we talked how enjoyed Chicago so far, asked me about living here, and talked Ten Forward. Then on with the show.
- The panel was Kael, Amy (Kate Mulgrew's social media manager), Noah Averbach-Katz, and Thomas.
- They opened with the Stormfall trailer.
- Janeway is back. As is Noah. He'll play an Andorian who is part of the Terran rebellion. (I think I heard that last part right. There was a group behind me discussing if they wanted to stay and I couldn't hear Noah at this part).
- The tutorial is revamped, and will now include Janeway providing voiceover and parts. They showed Captain Taggart getting assimilated like from First Contact.
- Noah named his Andorian character. It is a mix of being named after his mom (who I think was in the crowd), and the first name given to him from the random character generator when he started playing STO. He hasn't been given the script for his voiceover yet, but he's super excited. He really loves that he can focus on just voice over work and not about standing on a mark or where the camera is. He hopes the character can be a bad guy in a world of bad-guys. Kael said that that is the great thing about the Mirror Universe--they can think through how these people grow up and live. And it really makes the writers think about what a good person in the Terran Empire would be like.
- To that point Thomas talked about how the big inspirations for Mirror episodes have been Enterprise and DS9. This new mission is going to be a raid that takes both of those things and runs with them. In particular you're going to see how the Cardassians and the Andorians deal with the Mirror universe and the Terrans.
- Noah chimed in and said, "More people for me to betray!" which got a laugh.
- Amy said that one of the things they love is referring to Captains as Captains, even if they become Admirals. She said that they even think about that, and mention that when talking about Janeway.
- Everyone was super excited when Amy brought Kate into STO--she started by reaching out to Kael and Thomas, who brought in others. Kael said that when Kate Mulgrew came in to record, they were scared because they had a ton of things to do--the tutorial, the Delta missions, and the two new missions. They were afraid she wouldn't want to do so much, and they'd run out of time. But she stayed and was a total pro, even when people called her "ma'am".
- Amy loves how the game goes into designs for real people, going as far as saying Tilly and Kate looked badass.
- Noah streams the game, and loves the help and comments he gets, especially since he's new to the game. He did not see the Doctor Cooper twist coming as he loved Cooper and felt betrayed.
- Noah loves walking through the environments. He said Disco bridge is perfect as is DS9. He said he originally wanted to camp out.
- Kael took this opportunity to mention he is aware of the person who protested on DS9 wanting Changelings. Noah said, "That tracks for the fanbase."
- They discussed ships becoming canon. Thomas thanked the entire team.
- They showed the new mirror ships. They said the ships were all based on some sort of canon or previously existing ship. They talked Warship Voyager and that episode being the inspiration for Mirror Voyager. They talked how Sisko gave the Terran Rebels plans for The Defiant. Kael didn't know if that was nice. Amy chimed in and said, "It's Sisko. He can live with it."
- They remastered Assault on Terek Nor to have new visuals in keeping with the new DS9. The Leeta final boss fight has been changed to something else. I missed the title, so if someone else was there and heard it, I'd appreciate it.
- Noah talked about a short film he's working on with Anthony Rapp. It will start filming in May. It is based on Type 1 diabetes and the struggle to get insulin.
- Then there was Q&A
- Someone asked about evil mirror us. There will be more of that. The next episode is called Blue Shift and you will see "a great deal" of yourself.
- A follow up asked about episodes where we play other people, like Quark, the war criminal, or Mirror you. Kael joked and said, "Oh no /sto Reddit gets upset at this sometimes?" and pulled down his mask to show a shocked face as a joke. He said he understood the complaints, but as such it's a cool thing to do, that they don't want to overuse. Thomas agreed and said it gets them out of the box and has some cool technical challenges.
- Someone asked if there will be a Pakled ship based on Lower Decks. The difficulty will be in integrating multiple parts and them making those different parts customizable in the tailor. They are figuring out how to do it, but it is a huge lift.
- Someone asked if the Whale Probe will ever make an appearance. Kael says it is something they talk about probably more than any adult should. He also said the new Picard mention of Whale Probes made him laugh.
- They showed a new video which included the option to bring pets on the bridge, and the California class from Lower Decks.
- That was it. Then I talked to a couple of members here from the Reddit community, and Kael heard us. But I'm saving that for another post...

I gave up after about 5 minutes because of the audio problems. Sounds like we can probably expect a Red Alert event or something similar to bridge the gap between the current First Contact event and the release of Stormfall based on the dates.
