Cryptic Studios has just pushed out additional information for the Klingon race in Star trek Online. According to the new information, players will be able to create a Klingon character only after first completing the first block of Federation content that will take roughly five hours to finish. As we mentioned earlier today, Klingons will advance through PvP, but they can master many of the same skills as their Federation counterparts.

Klingon Captains have the same number of skills available as their Federation counterparts, including the same professions. Your Klingon Captain can be a Science, Engineering or Tactical officer. However, they must advance through PvP, as they will not have access to the same amount of player-vs.-environment content as Federation players at launch.

The story goes on to explain how Klingons will be able to advance through PvP by fighting oher Klingons and Federation players and what kind of ships will be unlocked with each new rank. You can read all the details here.
