After less than two weeks since its launch, Star Trek Online is starting to release content updates for the game, with the Borg Hub being one of the first.

Previously, the Borg were thought to be severely weakened by the actions the USS Voyager, as fans of the show will remember. But in 2409, the Borg have regained and surpassed much of their old strength, and Episodes in the Borg Update will add more substance to that portion of STO’s story. Players will eventually face off against the Borg Queen, the leader of the Collective, but the road to her lair is a very dangerous path.

The update includes episodes for high level players and aim to explain the Borg and what they have doing in the time between the movie Star Trek: Nemesis and 2409, the time were Star Trek Online takes place. Episodes include:

The Cure – A planet has been completely taken over by the Borg. Fight them for control of the planet.
Khitomer Accord – Travel back in time and uncover and participate in the events that led to the release of old Borg you encountered in the Tutorial Episode.
Into the Hive – Track down a missing Starfleet captain and come face to face with the new Borg Queen.
