Star Trek: Resurgence is specifically set in the time after the events of Star Trek: The Next Generation and sees players take on the roles of First Officer Jara Rydek and Engineering Crewperson Carter Diaz aboard the U.S.S. RESOLUTE. Players are tasked with solving a mystery around two alien civilizations on the brink of war, and the title will feature new and returning Star Trek characters throughout.
