Notes
- Leonard Nimoy was the first Star Trek actor to reprise his role in Star Trek Online, appearing in-game during its initial launch. However, actor Zachary Quinto (who portrays Spock in the new Star Trek movies) also appeared at the time as the EMH of the U.S.S. Khitomer.
- The mission “Past Imperfect” originally only featured voice overs. Spock's likeliness was only included in the mission when it was remastered during Season 8.5.
- Upon hearing the news of Nimoy's death in February 2015, many players visited Vulcan in-game to pay tribute to the legacy of the beloved actor. A memorial to Nimoy was erected on Vulcan and New Romulus in Star Trek Online the following week. Black banners were displayed on Earth Spacedock, New Romulus Command, and First City during a week of mourning from March 5 through 12.
