In addition, five new Original Series starships will be playable, which includes the Daedalus class Science Vessel and of course the original Enterprise that started it all. Walter Koenig and Chris Doohan (James Doohan’s son) will also be voicing Chekov and Scotty in Star Trek Online: Agents of Yesterday.
Star Trek Online is a free-to-play title which allows you to create a character and command a Federation starship, become a Kilingon Warrior, or helm a Romulan Republic Warbird.
