Star Trek Online’s Refractions update has now landed on console. The update concludes the Terran Gambit story, and features returning Star Trek actors Wil Wheaton and Gates McFadden.
The update includes a new Task Force Operation for five captains, “Bird Cage”. You’ll have to unite in order to break out the Mirror Universe version of Beverly Crusher.
