“ROMULUS SECTOR PATROLS” The Star Empire collapsed in the aftermath of the Supernova, becoming numerous factions outside of the Imperial Navy, Tal Shiar and Republic. The Starfleet evacuation failed and tensions with the Romuluans continue so join the USS Armiger as we explore the Hobus and Sierra Sector blocks and complete our patrols of the home of one of the most pivotal events of Star Trek Online.

I've always had it in mind that the Hobus star was part of an ultra wide binary pair with the Romulus sun. It didn't start out that way, but it was around 1.5 light years apart. So, when Hobus blew, it sent gravity waves along with whatever was used to blow the Romulus system apart and damage that star.
Whenever I play STO these days, I hear Rick's voice narrating the gameplay in my head.
Question how many of the Patrols videos can Ric make?
There's just something chill about Starbase 39-Sierra.
Admiral Zelle: ….
Not you. (if you know, you know)
Why would it take until the 25th century for Starfleet to have a Deltan admiral? Utter nonsense.
I don't consider STO being 'not prime timeline' as bad.
Star Trek is a multiverse. hell there's a multiverse jsut amongst the old tabletop games compared to the shows.
Doesn't invalidate things just 'hey cool. we're the verse next door with our own mirror verse.'
Your voice sounded very muddied and low in this one. I had to turn on subtitles to make out what you were saying without blasting my eardrums.

Judging by the number of I.R.W player ships about i think that there are more than a few players clinging to the old ways 😉
Glad to have it back, can’t wait to see the new story series next month
Great STO Lore video!
Like the small change. Great video.
Into Darkness shows the game itself can have a misstep and it's up to the players to save it.
All these time lines… where are temporal authorities when you need them?
Thank you Rick. I was hoping Picard would have explored the current state of the Romulans a bit more. Particularly in Season two.
Thanks Rick. I can't play these myself but love following you doing so. You give a great voice to the game and narrative structure to the events.
i feel like Lower Decks or Prodigy will detail the Supernova in some way… probably Lower Decks since Prodigy still has its own plotlines to deal with which involves going to the future to rescue Chakotay.
i like these video they're refreshing. its fun just listening to you tell the story of STO.
I prefer the lore angle on this one!
The Romulans indeed have been given a tough time in the late-24th and early 25th centuries.
Though as evident by New Romulus and the Romulan Republic, the raptor they march under has the potential to become a phoenix.
I think this is a good move Ric, exploring the galactopolitical environment behind the missions. But then I've played all the missions myself so they're reruns for me at this point. But I really like your analysis of the whos and whys of what happens in STO. I don't know how many times you've mentioned a connection between characters or events that I hadn't noticed.
Enterprise was the last real Star Trek… Change My Mind..
I’m a little concerned that what may seem like trivial interactions with apparent NPCs will become non-trivial later, forcing you to include vignettes of your gameplay in this part of the story.
You’re saving all of it, right?
Not gonna lie, I prefer STO's canon to what we've gotten on TV so far.
Rick, while it's about 2 months out, you really ought to do an episode about the Halloween/Friday 13th mission. If you want to, include the TFO, but I'd really love to see the reaction to the crazy cloner vulcan
Really enjoyed the lore additions!

Cool
There's a high chance that's my Lexington Class Dreadnought in the Starbase 39 segments of the video.
Starship name: I.S.S. Mineru
Registry: NCC-74707
They need to reach out to Rick and hire him to narrate various parts of sto..because playing tonight while his narration is playing just fits.
Thanks.
Whenever there's a break in your main series I catch up on your other content. This time on the until now inexcusably neglected STOSS Patrol episodes. And then: you put a seventh Patrol video online just as I was finishing up the other six. Like a bonus, nice. And thanks again.
Foregoing saving lives to avoid paperwork and arguments. THAT is shortsighted. Avoiding trouble now but giving up endless lives that could mean anything later. Lives are always worth the trouble, always.
