Cryptic Studios continues to map out the future history of the Star Trek Universe, detailing the events of 2383 as they work their way up to 2409 when the story of Star Trek Online takes place.

Starfleet Intelligence continues to gather reports of unrest on Romulus. Praetor Tal’aura enacts food rationing and strict limits on replicator use on the homeworld, saying that the empire’s resources must be reserved to support the military’s campaign against Donatra and the breakaway Imperial Romulan State.

The shortages spark rioting in the capitol of Ki Baratan, and the struggle goes on for two days before the praetor orders troops to intervene. Observers on Romulus suggest that as many as 2,000 people could have died either in the initial riots or at the hands of Romulan troops.

The civil unrest and resistance from Romulan nobles strain Tal’aura’s command of the empire. She calls upon her allies in the Senate to help in stabilizing the government, and they respond by voting to expand the praetor’s powers, giving Tal’aura the power to grant or remove noble titles, which previously was a privilege that only the emperor enjoyed. She also is granted the ability to declare war without Senate approval.

Fascinating

So thats the spark that leads to Klingon conflict.  I also see the set up for combat in the Beta Quadrant.  Cool.

I just hope the future setting (compared to TNG, DS9, Voyager) doesn't mean that all the ships we know and love are retired. I want to fly ships that I recognize from the show.

No compromise, even in the face of Armageddon.

I get the impression in the future the Feredation will be close to the Romulans as allies and Klingons as enemies, which is a cool idea. I always love the Romulans, for some reason. :)
