Space... The final frontier...

You've got to admit that the folks at Ascaron are fans of many, many global cultural icons - Star Wars, Harry Potter, Groucho Marx, and so forth. So it wouldn't be too surprising to find a Star Trek reference somewhere in the game as well.

In the eastern side of Enturag, just east of a small lake in the city, there sits a statue dedicated to Worf Thornclaw.

The caption reads: He wanted to be a singer but his father had other ideas. That way, he still had many fans and he was able to kill his critics without getting into trouble.

The name Worf also belongs to everyone's favorite cranky Klingon Lieutenant from Star Trek: The Next Generation and Deep Space 9.

Graves

In the cemetary east of Blade Fields, there is a grave marker that reads:

  • Last Words: "Why am I the only one wearing a red shirt?"

As any diehard Star Trek fan can attest, in the original series featuring Captain Kirk and company, if you were on an away mission and you were wearing a red shirt, odds were fairly excellent that you would be dead by the end of the episode. Even Scotty, the chief engineer had a few bouts with death while wearing a red shirt.
