STO - Interview @ ZAM

At ZAM Star Trek Online Producer Craig Zinkievich explains the influences to Star Trek Online.

"The move to 2409 allows us to change the political landscape," Zinkievich says. "Everything's not the same as it was at the end of DS9. Old enmities have flared, and new ones have sprung up. There are new leaders for many of the major factions, and new alliances between familiar races. The Romulan homeworld is gone, and overall, the Alpha and Beta quadrants are much more dangerous and volatile than they were 30 years ago. I think that 'familiar but unexpected' vibe will appeal to fans of the new movie as well as those who have been watching the shows from the beginning."
