Story Arc: Iconian War

The Iconians have shifted their attentions back towards the Alpha Quadrant after 200,000 years in unexplored space. We must prepare for war.

Preceeded by Delta Quadrant	Followed by Yesterday's War

The Iconian War story arc is a chain of cross-faction missions available to all factions.

Everything has changed when, after 200,000 years of absence, an Iconian appeared on Qo'noS and killed the whole Klingon High Council, warning the forces of the Beta Quadrant to not attract their attention again. "Demons of Air and Darkness" were no longer a myth - the threat they posed became real and an invasion was imminent.

Now the Iconians are here with a huge army of Heralds at their disposal. Through their use of gateway technology, the whole quadrant could fall in a matter of seconds. Now is the time to unite old friends and enemies, put differences aside and work together to stop their advance. Conventional tactics won't work; only ingenuity and great sacrifice may help win the battle. Even that might not be enough to win the war.
