Reddit reviews Star Trek Online: The Needs of the Many

There was a set up novel at launch.

It was written by the same guy as the Romulan War novel series. That’s the only official released media I’m aware of other than the game itself. YouTube videos would be another avenue.

There's only one, The Needs of the Many. Most of its contents have been negated by STO's story as it developed (the book was released around the time of launch, so it's not as if the devs or the author knew what was going to happen). However, it is still a decent read. It's a series of tales told in an interview format, with Jake Sisko being the interviewer. There's a MACO in the first interview that mentions MACOs using TR-116s, but that got retconned by Cryptic's lack of common sense regarding Borg adaptation Cryptic's choice to use a Compression Phaser Rifle as the MACO Sniper Rifle. I still call my TR-116B my T-Rex because of that segment.
