Revision 1

Ro Laren is the protagonist of Star Trek: Shadow Frontier. A former Starfleet Lieutenant, she is voiced by Michelle Forbes, the actress who originated the role and who provides Ro's likeness and performance for the game.

Role in the Game

In Star Trek: Shadow Frontier, Ro is stranded alone on a hostile planet after a crash, driven by a mission to rescue an old friend. Her ordeal is as much internal as external: the world preys on her mind, surfacing haunting visions and forcing her to confront the demons of her past. Her story is one of survival and self-discovery, told through the lens of psychological horror. The premise is detailed in Story and Setting.

A Returning Character

In the wider Star Trek canon, Ro Laren is an established character with a long and complicated history in Starfleet. This game places her in an entirely new situation, and it does not require any prior knowledge of her past to follow. Where her established background matters, the game frames it through her own memories and choices rather than through events from other stories.

Beyond Ro herself, no other characters have been officially revealed. The old friend at the center of her mission remains unnamed, as covered in The Living Planet.
