Although the Federation and Klingon Empire are at war in Star Trek Online, there's no greater threat to the universe than the Borg, which will assimilate them all. In a previous video, detailing new content coming to Star Trek Online, the Borg are shown in a raid called Infection. Well, it looks like temporarily putting aside differences to fight a common enemy is The Cure.

Fans of Star Trek Voyager might remember the Undine (also known as Species 8472), who are shapshifters that are immune to Borg assimilation. They reside in fluidic space within the Delta Quardrant, and have a particular dislike of Borg cubes in Star Trek Online. It remains to be seen whether they have any fondness toward other races, but they are among the first aliens players will encounter. Hey, didn't Janeway negotiate an armistice? Oh well, guess nothing lasts forever.

Continue after the jump to watch a video featuring the starship Destiny, an all-around vessel that's good for both solo missions and fleet support.

One of the most iconic and toughest foes in the Star Trek universe are The Borg, an advanced cybernetic race from the Delta Quadrent bent on assimilating all life in the universe. Although humanity has successfully thwarted the Borg's plans in the past, it's now locked in an ongoing war with the Klingon Empire. So, Star Trek Online players caught in Borg space may need to make unlikely allies to survive. The big question is whether or not players will be able to find a way to infiltrate the Borg Collective.

"Expect a lot of contact with the Borg in Star Trek Online. An entire 'season' of Episode Missions is dedicated to combating the Borg and managing their influence on the universe. In addition to squaring off against the hive mind, you'll also have to contend with other factions that attempt to utilize or work with Borg technology to achieve their own ends. You may even find yourself making friends with enemies to work against the great threat the Borg pose."

It just wouldn't be Star Trek unless players are allowed to beam down to a planet for an away mission, and Star Trek Online doesn't disappoint. There's a war with the Klingon Empire going on, so these trips will probably have less to do with setting up diplomatic talks and more about vaporizing enemies with phaser fire. The game released today, so players can boldly go on these dangerous missions. It's probably a good idea to bring a few red shirt companions to draw fire.
