5	* During the second anniversary event, the devs, two fan radio channels and the fandom as a whole gathered together to commission the ''U.S.S. Enterprise-F'' with her designer, [[PromotedFanboy Adam Ihle]] leading the charge. It says something when the fandom as a whole gathered in Earth Spacedock, in dress uniforms, to celebrate the launching of the next ''Enterprise''. [[LostEpisode Sadly, there's no permanent recordings of the event (at least publicly).]]
6	** The F even has a [[http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120821034826/22ndmobile/images/f/fd/Enterprise-F_Plaque.jpg dedication plaque]] made for her in the grand tradition of the series. And Creator/GeneRoddenberry ''still'' gets a spot on it.
7	* After the SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment\|s}} that is Morn's hours-long cutscene, Morn gives you a knowing nod. Awwwwwwwwwww!
8	* Dave Rivas' behind the scenes video of him recording Captain Shon, while completely hilarious, also shows how much he really takes being the new Enterprise captain seriously. The sheer giddyness on his face when he mentions he plays Shon really makes it clear.
9	** Even more so, check out his Youtube channel. He favorites fan videos of the Enterprise-F and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiCs24MKd60&list=PL2C5A1C00D626A0C7 even requested a special video where Shon's scenes from the 2800 were rescored with alternate scores.]]
10	* "Surface Tension":
11	** When you rescue Admiral Quinn, you can ask him how can they trust him as they were just ambushed by a fake Quinn. Quinn tells you that he had his misgivings in promoting you after Vega Colony, but now he admits he made the right suggestion.

15	* The Klingon missions "Afterlife" and "The Gates of Gre'thor" have you rallying spirits of Klingons who had fallen and lost their honor. Two of those are Doran, the first officer of your first ship, and Jurlek, the captain that you ended up delivering a KlingonPromotion to on said ship. As it turns out, Doran's husband was right about her being in Gre'thor and you ended up imposing a HeelFaceDoorSlam on Jurlek, but convince both of them to aid in as well. When your team arrive at the titular gates, the Klingons join in on attacking the demons there and Doran ends up aiding you in opening the gates. By the time those gates are opened, ''all of those spirits are gone''. You gave them a chance to regain their honor, even the cowardly Jurlek.

18	[[folder: Romulan Republic]]
19	* The end of 'Mind Game' in the Romulan storyline, crossing over with SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome with a bit of {{Tearjerker}} from the sheer emotion of it. Before you take the infiltration mission, you are explicitly told that the Romulan Republic simply cannot spare the resources to come and rescue you if you blow your cover. They don't have enough manpower to waste on a suicide mission; if your cover is lost, you will be presumed dead. They weren't lying; however much it may pain them, the Republic does not come for you. ''[[UndyingLoyalty Your shipmates track you down on their own.]]'' And regardless of the faction you chose, they bring [[TheCavalry an armada]] to cover your escape. Solely because you are their captain, and they are not leaving you to Hakeev.
20	** An additional layer crossed with CMOA if you're Klingon-aligned. Not only does this imply that someone on your ship had to go to the High Council and make a case for getting access to those ships, ''the High Council actually does it''. They move an insane amount of firepower halfway across the galaxy...to save a single captured Romulan. Because you swore an oath of fealty, and they intend to honor their half of that obligation.
21	** STO draws from Diane Duane's ''Literature/{{Rihannsu}}'' novels. Especially considering [[FallingIntoTheCockpit the circumstances]] by which a Romulan captain and crew come together, this is an exemplary illustration of ''mnhei'sahe''.
22	* Since Legacy of Romulus, several Romulan Republic Officers have been assigned to various facilities all over the galaxy from Qo'noS to Earth Spacedock, to Deep Space Nine and in between. Seeing a Romulan couple at [=DS9's=] replimat, or a pair of RR officers talking about the stars from Earth looking towards their new home in Tau Dewa, watching the formerly Xenophobic Romulans seemingly in awe and dazzled at the worlds beyond their borders and the people who live there is very touching.
23	--> '''R.R. Officer #1:''' I never thought I would be sitting here on Qo'noS quietly talking.\
24	'''R.R. Officer #2:''' See I told you the Klingons aren't that bad.

28	* [[{{Precursors}} The Preservers.]] Imagine being a race of [[SufficientlyAdvancedAliens incredibly advanced beings]] with the capability of exploring everywhere in the Galaxy... and [[AbsentAliens being all alone.]] Then imagine deciding to take your advanced technology and using it to create lifeforms shaped after you and then going into a long cryogenically-aided sleep, hoping your experiments will work. And then, imagine waking from that sleep and seeing your creations finding you, learning that your experiments succeeded. And then, [[AbusivePrecursors instead of acting malevolently towards them]], calling them your "children" and joining with them to see how the galaxy has progressed, because you left it for your "children" to have. Now ''that'' is the definition of a [[BenevolentPrecursors Benevolent Precursor.]]
29	* One of the accolade dialogues in ''Temporal Ambassador'' gives a great one to the ''Enterprise''-C.
30	--> '''Tasha:''' She's a beautiful ship. It's a shame we have to destroy her to restore the timeline.
31	* From ''Sphere of Influence'', the newest featured episode:
32	-->'''Worf''': Send your engineer my regards.\
33	'''Captain Shon''': I'll let [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration Chief]] [[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine O'Brien]] know.
34	** Note that they're talking about Kirayoshi O'Brien, not Miles. Yes, Worf is still attached to that little baby he and Jadzia used to babysit. ''Dawwww''
35	*** He ''did'' help deliver Molly.
36	** The end of the Federation/KDF war and seeing everyone celebrating.
37	* The Na'Kuhl may have been {{Jerkass Woobie}}s, but seeing them [[http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/10091123-no-profit-but-the-name get their homeworld back]] after the Battle of Procyon V is pretty sweet.
38	* The end of Yesterday's war episode series.
39	--> '''Empress Sela to Data:''' Tell me about my mother.
40	** The fact that Yar left logs to Sera, always thinking about her, even after decades of being stranded on a former Tal Shiar prison planet.
41	* Before the assault on Qo'Nos in "A Day Long Remembered" you'll find General Martok on the bridge of the ''K'Tinga''. He's telling his fellow Klingons a story about courage...specifically the events of the [=DS9=] episode "[[Recap/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineS05E23BlazeOfGlory Blaze of Glory]]", when Cadet Nog stood up to him and two other Klingons on the Promenade.
42	-->'''Martok:''' And then he said "Either move, or I'm going to have to place you under arrest!" Hah! A Ferengi Starfleet cadet, telling three Klingon warriors to move! That boy had more courage than ''ten'' of these nuchpu' surrounding J'mpok! Remember this: courage comes in all sizes, and shapes.
43	* Administrator Kumaarke of the Lukari. She practically squees over being through a transporter beam, and her reactions while beginning to explore the galaxy bring a sense of wonder that the game often lacks.
