Cryptic Studios and Perfect World Entertainment announce that the next season of Star Trek Online, called The Sphere, will be launched on November 12 and will allow gamers to battle the Voth, a new alien species.

The creatures are used in a video game for the first time and they are building a Dyson sphere that players will have to explore in order to save the galaxy from destruction.

Fans of the universe will also be able to work with Worf, played by TV series actor Michael Dorn, in a sequel to the Schisms episode from The Next Generation.

Daniel Stahl, the executive producer working on Star Trek Online, states, “Having another legendary Star Trek character lend their support for Star Trek Online shows our commitment to expand on the stories that make ‘Trek’ such a beloved franchise.”

Star Trek Online is a free-to-play MMO that allow gamers to become a member of the Federation, the Klingon Empire or the Romulan Republic.
