Background for Star Trek Online players
The events on this campaign take place roughly five years after the conclusion of the Gamma Quadrant campaign.
Background for other players
It is the year 2415, in the Earth calendar. In recent years, the United Federation of Planets joined and helped develop a coalition between some of the major powers in the Alpha and Beta Quadrants of the Milky Way: the Federation itself, the Klingon Empire, and the Romulan Republic. Soon, a few of the civilizations in the Delta Quadrant also joined the coalition, which became known as the Delta Alliance.
Not every civilization in the galaxy is friendly towards the Delta Alliance, however. Most notable among the Alliance's enemies are the Romulan Empire (who fiercely oppose the Romulan Republic... yes, this is a bit like Star Wars...), the Iconian Whole and its servitors, the Borg, and the mysterious Hur'q.
For a more detailed list of allies and enemies of the Delta Alliance, see the table at the bottom of this page: Delta Alliance at the STO Wiki
TV Series / Movies Timeline: all of this takes place a few years after anything in Star Trek continuity. You don't need to bother with the official products of the franchise if you don't care to.
Campaign start
In this campaign, you will be playing a member of the Delta Alliance. More specifically, you have received training at the Starfleet Academy, on Earth, and awarded the rank of Lieutenant. As soon as you graduated, you were assigned to a special task force known as the Idrani Protection Fleet and shipped off to the Idran System, in the Gamma Quadrant. There, you received an additional two-year training, after which you were put in charge of your first starship, a light cruiser.
Your character in this campaign starts as a Starfleet Lieutenant, with a special rank of "Flight Commander" within the IPF that allows you to command an IPF Tier 1 starship. You will have a loyal crew to follow you into your adventures and help you perform the most varied tasks, from space combat to scientific research and beyond. Your main mission will be to defend the Idran System from all its enemies, particularly the Hur'q.
