Website announces new
Rise of Discovery content is now live

travel back in time and board the U.S.S. Buran, encountering Captain Gabriel
Lorca (voiced by Jason Isaacs) and Commander Ellen Landry (voiced by Rekha

and PlayStation®4."
This
trailer shows off the game's depiction of the show's stars, and here's more
on how you will interact with them in the game:
In the first season of
Star Trek: Discovery, fans were introduced to Captain Gabriel Lorca and his
Chief of Security, Commander Ellen Landry. However, very little was revealed
about their collective past and what led them to assume command of the legendary
U.S.S. Discovery. These questions will be answered in Rise of Discovery, which
takes players to the decks of the U.S.S. Buran with Lorca and Landry just one
month after the Battle at the Binary Stars. The Federation starship is on a
mission to transport Klingon prisoners to a secure facility when it becomes the
target of an incursion led by J’Ula, the matriarch of House Mo’Kai. A
devastating turn of events leaves Captain Lorca as the sole survivor of the
attack. After crash landing on a barren ice moon above Priors World, he must
rely on his trusted commanding officer and Star Trek Online players to rescue
him before he is apprehended by Klingon forces.
