Need some reading material while your toon is grinding away at mining for green Orion slave women? The official website for publisher Simon & Schuster has a listing for Star Trek Online - The Needs of the Many by Michael A. Martin and Jake Sisko.
Quote:
Prior to the terror-filled times of the Long War—the seemingly endless struggle against the Undine, a paranoid, shape-shifting race once known only as Species 8472—enemy sleeper agents quietly penetrated every echelon of Federation society, as well as other starfaring civilizations throughout the Alpha and Beta quadrants. The ensuing conflict shook humanity to its very core, often placing its highest ideals against a pure survival instinct. All too frequently, the Undine War demanded the harshest of sacrifices and exacted the steepest of personal costs from the countless millions whose lives the great interdimensional clash forever altered.
Drawn from his exhaustive research and interviews, The Needs of the Many delivers a glimpse of Betar Prize–winning author Jake Sisko’s comprehensive "living history" of this tumultuous era. With collaborator Michael A. Martin, Sisko illuminates an often-poorly-understood time, an age marked indelibly by both fear and courage—not to mention the willingness of multitudes of unsung heroes who became the living embodiment of the ancient Vulcan philosopher Surak’s famous axiom, "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few."
You know you are in trouble when one of the credited authors is a fictional character...

I remember one of the better DS9 episodes had Jake Sisko on the front lines of some Dominion War skirmish, and he had this storyline where he was trying to be a great wartime journalist. I guess he'd be the best choice among anyone else for something like this.
After all, fleecing gold-pressed latinum from Trekkies using these obscure references as a ploy is very lucrative, indeed!
Hmmm... Maybe in future updates they'll let you "drill" them.
If I read the angst and resulting subscriber-number velocity correctly on their forums, cheesy "innovations" like your idea will come sooner rather than later.
