Story[ | ]
- At the end of “Red Shift”, players discovered the missing individual they've been looking for is actually Lieutenant Ilia from Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Stormfall sees Captains sent on a mission by Admiral Janeway, to rescue Ilia from a Terran Space Dock. The lieutenant informs the Captain that the Terren Forces, led by Captain Killy, are trying to resurrect an old adversary. Introducing Noah Averbach-Katz as Rae'Yeet, an Andorian rebel. Kate Mulgrew reprises her role as Kathryn Janeway, as well as the newly introduced Terran Marshall Janeway. Featuring the return of Chase Masterson as Admiral Leeta, Mary Wiseman as Mirror Captain Killy, and Kipleigh Brown as Mirror Captain Kuumaarke.
- “Blue Shift”: After formulating a rescue plan, Admiral Janeway calls on Captains to team up with former Terran Admiral Leeta and Terran Marshal Janeway to execute a daring rescue of Ilia from the Terran ESD.
- “The Calling”: With the information gained from Ilia, the Terrans are ready to contact a powerful new nemesis using the biggest galactic antenna they know of – the peaceful planet of Pahvo. The Coalition is attempting to stop them but will need help from Starfleet to take down the Terran Empire.
TFO[ | ]
- The TFO “Assault on Terok Nor” has received a total revamp, rebranded with the title "Forged in Fire". This revamp includes new mechanics and utilizes the revamped Deep Space 9 interior created for Victory is Life. Rae-Yeet is also now a mission handler during the course of the TFO.
