Star Trek Online has just released a new installment to the 'Path to 2409' series.  In this episode, 2389 Supplemental Log, we read an interview with a member of the Detapa Council on Cardassia Prime: Elim Garak (our favorite Cardassian).  And, our interviewer is non other than Jake Sisko.

[Elim Garak, member of the Detapa Council on Cardassia Prime, very kindly welcomes me into his home for an early breakfast.]

Red leaf tea?

Cryptic Studios has posted a couple updates to StarTrekOnline.com including a new Kobayashi Maru challenge and a Romulan ship update.

Kobayashi Maru Vol. 19

You make first contact with a civilization called the Savii. The Savii have just reached the technology level necessary for the construction of warp-speed-capable vessels. They are an insectoid race connected through a hive mind, spreading information via a complex pheromone system.

A brand new interview with Cryptic's Craig Zinkievich has been posted on 1UP.com.  Along with the interview they've revealed three new screenshots from the game.

Star Trek Online has updated it's ongoing saga 'Path to 2409' with a new year 2389.  It seems the Romulan empire, or what's left of it, is in bitter termoil while the Klingons move in to take Romularn territory.  Not only that, but the Gorn and Klingon war heats up with the Nausicans jumping into the mix.

We've been wondering, as many of you, how the changes to the Star Trek universe timeline would be affected by what happened in Star Trek XI.  And, more importantly, how the changes would affect the upcoming Star Trek Online.

The fine beings at Cryptic have put together an article explaining that very thing.

In a new dev blog post on MMORPG.com, producer David Stahl talks about the Star Trek Online Genesis system and how it's used to create places for you to go and explore without requiring hours of art and development time for each location.

This sounds like a great concept and in theory could make the Star Trek Online universe boundless.  David explains in more detail....

A brand new entry in the ongoing Path to 2409 Saga has been released: 2388 Supplemnetal Log.  This time the story is told by Jake Sisko as he visits Ambassador Worf shortly after the Hobus incident on Qo’noS.

Apparently WORF LIVES after being attacked by Nero.  I don't care if any of this is officially canon, it's definitely canon in my mind.

Star Trek Online has posted a couple of updates to their site including a new 'Meet the Team' and a brand new rap contest featuring the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition.  Wait, what?!

Contest: Ferengi Rules of Acquisition Rap

Star Trek Online executive producer Craig Zinkievich has posted an article called The Anatomy of an STO Play Test over at MMORPG.com.  This is another part in the on going dev blog for the upcoming Star Trek Online due in 2010.
