In the tv shows you have the 31st century federation (shown with time travel ofc), and the 29th century Starfleet with time travel too. so either they come from alternate futures or as per usual a new show just ignores established canon, and STO is STO

Picard/Discovery future is just incompatible with STO...

There's a big jump of time between the late 24th Century and the 30th Century. And as for the difference between the 29th and 30th?a lot can happen in 100yrs

I do not really have a guess, but since he has just awakened, and has all of his memories, it does seem to be someone from the past. That's all I've got.

Got no clue who it is.

But the Federation is already going isolationist in the timeline Picard is taking place in...which takes place before the turn of the century. That is the problem I'm talking about...if the Federation was isolationist in the late 24th century then events in the early 25th century just wouldn't have happened.

The Federation wouldn't have helped to build the Romulan Republic
The Federation wouldn't have helped to save Qo'nos

Two major events that wouldn't have been done if the Federation was isolationist and would have lead to losing the Iconian war, that is if the Alpha/Beta quadrants survived Iconian backed attacks from the Undine, Elachi, and Vaadwaur

The whole thing with Picard is the decline of the Federation started in his era, it didn't start in the 32nd century and suddenly decline to lead to the events of Discovery.

Do we actually know the Feds are going all isolationist? I mean nobody has actually seen Picard yet and it's all being guessed upon just now.

CBS owns rights for everything, if there's a way for them to sell STO to more people by linking it to Picard or vice versa i'd imagine they'd jump at it. But we'l have to wait and see what that means for the game.

It has been talked about a lot, Patrick Stewart recently did a interview where he says the Federation in Picard is going to be comparable to Trump/Brexit...that it will take a isolationist turn. That Picard is going to connect to Discovery by bringing the downfall of the Federation as teased in season 3 of Discovery.

I'm just saying isolationism is incompatible to with the events in STO where multiple wars were fought and allegiances have been made that would be impossible if the Federation wanted to be isolationist.

New piece to the puzzle revealed

Mystery Tablet

And it has been translated already:

" Press on my brothers until the dawn frees us from this hell, Down to the pits of these vile technological oppressors! Press on, On this day, we may not truly be alive but we are Klingon! Press on, The fight is not over it is just begun! Press on! Press on to the Top of the mountain of our honored dead, and we will prove that the Klingon way is Right and true above all! Press on."

Well that is intriguing

That appears to be Klingon script but the English language... the first three words I make out as 'pass on my'... Ill work on the rest EDIT - looks like someone beat me to it

- - - Updated - - -

Eh - question - is this some kind of in game scavenger hunt or something? I can't seem to find anything about it, apart from those two facebook posts.

Solace · Posted Thu 16 Jan, 2020 4:35 PM

Hmmm Klingon stuffs eh? Perhaps a hint at some KDF goodies for the 10th anniversary?

It appears there is a second image, click just above the top right hand corner.

This one leads to
The Power Of Math and supposedly means Here lies our Hope's and dreams from what I've seen on reddit.

From what I've seen on about the timeline for the new Picard series, it sounds like it is set in 2399. By the time of STO (2409-2410), the existing storyline is that relations between the major powers is pretty frosty already, so unless Picard ends up leading to galactic peace as the storyline progresses it probably won't upend the game itself so much as maybe require some retconning of the STO backstory. So either little or nothing will change, or we'll maybe get a STO episode in the inevitable Picard arc(s) that will create the alternate STO timeline like we already have with the Kelvin Timeline/JJTrek movies to allow things to progress forward without upending too much in the game today.
