Those who book early will also be privy to the the Early Start program that runs from January 29 through launch on February 2.
Several retailers have exclusive offers, so you will have to decide which one you want the most.
Here’s the rundown, via the press release:
Game
Game customers who pre-order Star Trek Online receive a unique ground weapon – the TR-116 rifle. This rare projectile weapon is used in dampening fields and other challenging environments; it is modified with a micro-transporter which beams the fired projectiles to targets at close range so that a user can fire without a direct line of site. Deep Space 9’s Science Officer Chu’lak used the weapon with murderous intent in the episode ‘Field of Fire’.
Amazon UK
Fans of Star Trek: Voyager and in particular, fans of ‘Seven of Nine’ will enjoy Amazon’s offering: an exclusive “Liberated Borg” Bridge Officer. This bridge officer, who comes with unique nanotechnology augmentations, assists in missions and gains experience as the player does.
