The updates that will come with "Star Trek Online: Reckoning" will put the console players of the MMO on par with the content available on the PC version of the game. The new features, some of which were already released earlier for the PC, includes the new featured episode, the new Kits and Modules Research crafting school plus a new battlezone. The update also includes two new Tzenkethi space queues, called "Gravity Kills" and "The Tzenkethi Front."
According to the summary from the Arc Games site announcement, the new featured episode is mostly centered around the Tzenkethi threat. " Captains will join the Lukari on a mission to investigate weaponized use of protomatter in a new region of the Alpha Quadrant. Further evidence leads them to the Tzenkethi, a highly intelligent, militant species who plan on using the deadly substance to build a bomb capable of wiping out entire planets."
A new non-playable character, the legendary Klingon General Rodek, will have voice lines provided by actor Tony Todd.
