Tour of Duty


 * This page is about Federation tutorial. See Tour of Duty for Admiralty assignment chain.

Tour of Duty is the collection of tutorial missions encountered by all players upon starting a new Federation character.

The player assumes the role of an Ensign aboard his or her starting starship, during the Borg attack on the Vega colony. After assisting the USS Khitomer in repelling a Borg invasion (introducing basic movement, combat and interaction), the player finds themself in command of their ship, and must assist in recovery operations (introducing basic starship operations), engage a weakened Borg force in orbit (introducing starship combat) and on the surface (introducing power "kits" and combat tactics), and finally join a Starfleet task force to eliminate a Borg Cube.

Upon completion of the tutorial, the player proceeds to Earth Spacedock, to begin the game proper, namely with the mission chain "The Klingon War".
