In Sphere of Influence, the player and other representatives of the Romulan Republic, the Federation and the Klingon Defense Force are invited by D'Tan to New Romulus for the reactivation of a recently discovered Iconian gateway.

Synopsis[]

Due to an accident during its reactivation, the player, along with Ambassador Worf, Va'Kel Shon and other Federation, Klingon and Romulan representatives, is forced to use the recently discovered Iconian gateway on New Romulus. Trapped in subspace the group encounters the Solanae but eventually manages to return after reactivating all still operational gateways in the Milky Way. In a commandeered Obelisk Carrier, the group uses one of the gateways and emerges in the Jouret System, where they have to fight off an Elachi force trying to defend the newly uncovered gateway.

Outline[]

Mission Text[]

The gateway discovered beneath the surface of New Romulus is prepared and ready for activation.

Because the Romulan Republic is dedicated to sharing the gateway and all we learn from it with our allies, we are inviting representatives of the Romulan Republic, the Federation and the Klingon Defense Force to join us on New Romulus for the first trip through the gateway.

I would be honored if you would join us, <rank>.

This mission can only be completed as a single player.


Goal[]

Notes[]

  • Feature Episode, released on October 30, 2013 prior to the release of Season Eight: The Sphere.
  • Minimum level requirement until December 5, 2013 was 10+, rewarding a [Special Requisition Pack - Obelisk Carrier] once per character at first playthrough; the included Obelisk Carrier could be unpacked at Level 40+.
  • With the patch on December 5, 2013 the mission has been included into the regular level progression (storyline missions), with a new minimum level requirement of 50, leading into the Level 50 Solanae Dyson Sphere adventure zone. The free Obelisk Carrier has been removed, and can now be aquired through the Fleet Spire at Tier 1.
  • There are three Hidden Compartments in the Consoles, in the Expanse area, rewarding a version of the [Hangar - Advanced Obelisk Swarmers] carrier pets that can only be used on the Obelisk Carrier or the Advanced Obelisk Carrier. To obtain them, you must obtain the "Reconnaissance" accolade and observed all six main consoles, but you must get them before you approach the final platform and trigger off the cutscene there. The accolade is awarded upon reaching the last red pathway. Once you have interacted with all three of the extra consoles (at the dead ends), go back to them all to get Six (6) Advanced Obelisk Swarmers, two from each consoles in the hidden compartment.
  • This mission draws heavily from the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Schisms", particularly the solanogen-based lifeforms and the experiments they conduct on those they capture.
  • This is the first mission to feature the flagships of all the playable factions (I.K.S. Bortasqu', U.S.S. Enterprise-F, and R.R.W. Lleiset) together at the same time.
