What is Star Trek Online: Both Worlds?

According to the press release, "Star Trek Online: Both Worlds continues last season's multiverse story following a misunderstanding with the Tholians and the tearing of the Reality Vortex. Serving as a launching pad for the Mirror Borg, it threatens the multiverse. In this new update, you'll need to infiltrate the Mirror Borg Unicomplex, a technological labyrinth guarded by relentless Borg, to sever the vortex and save the multiverse. At the heart of this nightmare awaits the Borg King, the architect of this multiversal threat. Will you prevail against impossible odds and rewrite the fate of reality?"

Star Trek Online: Both Worlds features several Star Trek actors. Players will encounter Captain Ezri Dax (voiced by Nicole de Boer from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine), Captain Harry Kim (voiced by Garret Wang from Star Trek: Voyager), and Admiral Kuumaarke (voiced by Kipleigh Brown from Star Trek: Enterprise).

• New Episode – Scorpion's Abyss: The Aetherians report a new Reality Vortex in Fluidic Space and ask for help to close it.

• New Task Force Operation – Battle of Wolf 359: This new 5-player space Task Force Operation will let you relive the greatest battle against the Borg at Wolf 359. Learn from the past to defend the present.
