This video covers the entire The Iconian War chapter as well as the time in the delta quadrant with the Vaadwaur that immediately preceded it. Starfleet prepared for as much time as it could, but in the end, it was not enough and they had to resort to time travel to fix it.

Up until he passes through the time portal, Kagran is as Klingon as they come. Due to the nature of the temporal displacement, he enters the time portal only moments before the player, but arrives in ancient Iconia weeks before us. In this time, he becomes a changed man: He is calm, almost pacifistic, and very willing to give the Iconians every benefit of the doubt in regards to their nature. He is, to put it bluntly, chill. And everyone on the internet knows what causes this kind of personality shift in a man. If one also considers the fact that there is only one "warrior woman" to be found in the entirety of Iconian society (and it is implied that her attitude alienates her peers, making her probably somewhat socially isolated), there is only one possible conclusion that can be drawn from the events of "Midnight": Kagran hooked up with T'Ket.

You mean the Kelvan Empire? They are the ruling power in the Andromeda Galaxy and some imply they may be allied in some with either the Iconians, or their servitor races (Elachi, Bluegill, Solinae) and either have a truce, or are simply "live and let live". Also it is said in the 29th Century, the Federation does go to war with the Kelvans as they arrive in the Milky Way. So they fight a race from Andromeda, but it could be a story where a slipstream accident hurls them to the Kelvan Homeworld where they find there many Kelvans do not agree with the stance of conquest and simply want to share their resources and tech to live in peace. So the rebels ally with the Federation to save their race and the Empire crumbles as ships try to flee with the Federation ship trying to reproduce the speeds needed to get them all home and to a new galaxy where they can survive. Perhaps Rojan's world? He was a Kelvan and seems to enjoy living in peace.

I think it is new Iconia. Actual Iconia is Romulan space. Here it is worth to remind that that there is clear connection between T'Kon and Icon (it is most likely same word). Ancient Humanoids (Preservers and Sphere Builders) and Iconians are most likely same specie. But some number of Iconians survived in the subspace (they probably were augmented to do so, what explain different look) and now try reclaim they empire. The reason why they can't time travel (despite that being core of the conflict) is that they Machines cut them from that (in canon both Romulus and T'Kon were destroyed by supernova, caused by Iconian aka they own Machines).

I'm about 2 missions into the Iconian war now, and with the benefit of the summer event kit modules, it's quite the experience. Missions that Ric struggled with a few weeks back have been a breeze. Harold forces appear, and promptly die as lava erupts from the ground below them and ball lightning scatters all around. I used the Risian weather control ship on the Delta Flight mission last night, because it's a bit more maneuverable than my dreadnought. I wouldn't say that the Risian kits are OP, necessarily; The new House Mo'Kai missions were not freebees. But I don't think I'm intended to use them for these missions. I've so far been just walking through them.

@Peregrine57 3 жыл бұрын

@Jope Lamp I don't think the AI has a counter kit, no. The summer event kits are new, and the older chapters are somewhat static, and don't seem to get adjusted much. Some of the newer missions that I haven't gotten to yet might be more difficult. Like I said, the new stuff wasn't a cake walk. But once you hit the level cap, the early and mid chapters are fairly static, and the summer event kits make them a breeze. They have a significant cool-down to balance, though, so you can't just spam "The Floor is Lava". It's best to save it for a pinch or a boss fight. There are higher difficulty options, if you're into that sort of thing. Your ship can take critical damage, and you and your bridge officers can sustain serious injuries that you need to play through until you can apply a fix, or get to a starbase. But I'm mostly here for the story, so I play on 'Normal'.

Around that point the Quantum Slipstream Drive became standard issue on starships; not as fast as the one on Voyager but much more reliable. That along with the Iconian Gateway Network being reactivated significantly cut down on travel time, but they never really elaborate on it. Presumably this is how everyone's able to zip back and forth across the explored Delta Quadrant in such a short timeframe. The sector map compresses things to an absurd degree. (Side note: The Gamma Quadrant's similarly, but less egregiously not to scale, one "sector" actually being 100 ly instead of 20.) The Federation's also set up a rudimentary transwarp gate system, based on the Borg's transwarp hub, but that might've been retconned. There's a transwarp gate over New Romulus though.

One question I have regarding the destruction of the preserver archive. When we (the player) beamed out following the death of the preserver, did we bring the body? Or did we leave it lying there on the floor? Because if I remember correctly, the archive was encoded into their dna, and could be reconstituted from it. Much like the Iconian’s World Heart.

@TheRezro Жыл бұрын

I mean. Humans technically have similar DNA... what BTW is why Iconian Gates/Machine Federation (look V'Ger) show interest in Humanity (what also could be true reason for Romulan War). So we can assume that Federation has no access to that data and archive itself was only access terminal. BTW Preservers/T'Kon and Icon are most likely the same. My guess is that STO Iconians were augmented to survive in subspace.

No the T'Kon and Iconians are different. Their tech operates completely different.

The entire Iconian arc is pretty much the best Star Trek that we've got in awhile. I mean building up the Iconian threat throughout all of the episode arcs, with the entire destabilization of the Alpha/Beta quadrants being an orchestrated plot for the return of the Ancient ones. THIS is canon to me, sorry ST: Picard fans.

No one knows what happened to Admiral Taurat after the crew of Discovery left their timeline for the future. Except me. I am Taurat. I am the one responsible for the fall of Iconia, Herc and the Valduar. I am also the one who created section 31. I am also partially responsible for multiple timelines in which many variant outcomes that had caused chaos in the Universe. Yet even with all my attempts to preserve the timelines, change was inevitable and resulted a failure in my mission. However even with failing to preserve the correct timeline, Starfleet, the United Federation of Planets and many other species of the known galaxy still exist.

I really hope that the Alliance decide to help the Sphere Builders undo the damage to the timeline that the Alliance did using the time ship & causing the sphere builders to be temporally removed from the time line. Since it was the alliances fault for committing this genocide by erasing millions of people from the universe it is only fair that the help the Sphere Builders fix the timeline & bring back the millions of people from the Sphere Builder race called the Tuterians.

@@isleapyhunter930 Yeah but we have to treat them as the bad guys even though they aren't the bad guys at all they are just trying to undo what the alliance did to them. They are just lucky they had time travel tech also or they would be wiped from existence all together, if the Temp War is over that then they are the victims not the baddies & what was done to them should be undone. The alliance never even used the Krenim time-ship after their initial failure so it would be simple to fix the time-line by just doing what they did in voyager & cause the ship to erase itself from history. They could temporally shield a Data node/pad with info on what had happened so that the people in the repaired time-line knew not to used the Krenim time-ship & so they would also know what to do to make the Iconian war turn out as it had before. The timeline wouldn't be altered very much as things would play out in the Iconian War the same way only the damage to the Sphere Builders/Tuterians would be undone & they would be part of the universe/time again.
