Scott Tipton: We both are trying to see what strikes everyone else in the Mirror Universe. : How will fans see Mirror elements of IDW's comics crossover into STO? IDW Comics' Star Trek: The Mirror War saga revisits the iconic Mirror Universe of Star Trek lore in comics. Woodward designed the Mirror Enterprise-D and to see that out in the world in the Star Trek Online game is so cool. It's great to play off each other's strengths whenever we do that. STO does that really well and the comics do that really well. We're all pushing at the margins and the boundaries of the universe to fill in the blanks. So there've been a lot of these little back and forth partnerships over the years. It's exciting to work with people who love "Star Trek" as much as we do. We actually brought J'Ula into Star Trek Online for our "Discovery" arc. We also talked with writer Mike Johnson about his character, J'Ula, that he created for the "Star Trek: Discovery" comics that IDW did. That was fertile ground for IDW and for us when we were exploring it in the game. We never saw the "TNG" characters in the show as their Mirror Universe counterparts. IDW, especially for their Mirror arc, has done a lot of great visual development through the artist J.K Woodward and CBS to define the look of the Mirror Universe in the "TNG" era. Thomas Marrone: Back in 2018 at Star Trek Las Vegas we started talking to IDW about how we’d developed many environments and ships and it would be cool to see that in the comics. : How did this ambitious new creative partnership come about?
chatted with STO Associate Art Director Thomas Marrone, STO writer Paul Reed, and the Tipton Brothers to learn more about this creative marriage, and how this will affect seasons within the online game to deliver a smoother integration of Mirror Universe tales. Star Trek Online: Shadow's Advance will go boldly to the Mirror Universe in a new collaboration with IDW Publishing.
