On April 26,\u00a0STAR TREK\u00ae<\/sup> The Video Game<\/i><\/b>\u00a0reunites the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise<\/i> for an amazing, completely new Star Trek<\/i> adventure \u2013 and alongside Kirk, Spock, Bones, Scotty, Uhura, Chekov and Sulu will be two new characters making their first appearances in the Star Trek <\/i>universe<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As the game begins, Kirk and Spock are called to aid in the\u00a0rescue of a mysterious space station that is heading towards catastrophe.\u00a0 Upon their arrival, Kirk and Spock meet a female Vulcan scientist named T\u2019Mar, who plays a prominent role in the action-packed journey that awaits.<\/p>\n

\u201cT\u2019Mar is the captain of the space station and was a childhood friend of Spock,\u201d says Paramount Senior Vice President and Executive Producer Brian Miller.\u00a0 \u201cHer blend of incredible intelligence and unexpected beauty prove intriguing to Kirk.\u201d<\/p>\n

As the story progresses, T\u2019Mar joins Kirk and Spock as they travel to New Vulcan, a planet that orbits a binary star and was colonized by Vulcans after the destruction of their home world, seen in 2009\u2019s Star Trek<\/i>.\u00a0 There, they find Surok \u2013 a great Vulcan leader.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we crafted this story we wanted to make sure the player realizes that the usually logical, Spock can have very emotional connections to the ones he cares about,” adds Miller. \u00a0“Surok was one of Spock\u2019s childhood mentors and is also T\u2019Mar\u2019s father. Together, they are helping to lead the colonization of New Vulcan.\u201d<\/p>\n

As the game progresses, players will learn that Surok is\u00a0one of the lone survivors of a vicious attack on the New Vulcan planet by the villainous Gorn.\u00a0 Why they have attacked and what they want are at the heart of STAR TREK The Video Game<\/i><\/b>.<\/p>\n

\u201cVideo games are not only exciting to play, they\u2019ve become a compelling medium for telling stories, so with Star Trek<\/i>, we had an amazing opportunity to introduce new characters that are integral to the plot of our game,” Miller says. “Our game\u2019s story is canon to the new Star Trek<\/i> universe, so we had a great responsibility to get these new characters right, and to make them exciting and meaningful to players.”<\/p>\n

Throughout the story, both T\u2019Mar and Surok play key roles in helping Kirk and Spock uncover more about the brutal attacks that the Gorn have been engaging in across the galaxy.\u00a0 They also reveal that the Gorn have stolen a mysterious machine known as the Helios Device \u2013 one whose functions could prove disastrous in the hands of an enemy as ruthless as the Gorn.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor players who want to simply enjoy the experience of playing as Kirk and Spock, Star Trek<\/i> is going to be a great game experience,\u201d Miller says. \u201cBut for those eager to dig deeper into a robust story, we hope it\u2019s an adventure that will excite both longtime fans and game enthusiasts alike.\u201d<\/p>\n
