Cryptic has just posted a new story segment for Star Trek Online. The new story timeline focuses on the period between 2409-2387. Fans of the story and lore will find this a good read as Cryptic releases these little segments at times to chronicle the events leading up to the background story of the game.

Commander Suran, once captain of the warbird Soterus, now lives as a gentleman farmer on the planet Talvath. Talvath has recently petitioned for Federation protection, which is what brings me here to interview him. He is the highest ranking military officer on the planet, and has indeed become something of an elder statesman. His intimate knowledge of Romulan politics, and involvement within definitive political events dating back to the conflict with Praetor Shinzon, makes him an even more important source of information. He smiles at me, offering me a glass of water as we sit on the porch of his sprawling ranch.
