Star Trek Online/Awesome


 * The opening of the game contains this. You save the USS Khitomer, and you get back to your old ship... to find out that the entire senior staff you'd been talking to earlier are all dead now and that you and the ensign you met earlier on the Khitomer are now the senior staff on board. And it's time to go fight the Borg. And you do.
 * Specifically, the game opens with your character's first Crowning Moment of Awesome. In the middle of a massive starfleet battle, your character is sent over to assist the U.S.S. Khitomer. Going on a killing spree against the malfunctioning Borg on-board, you proceed to rescue the ship. It Got Worse is triumphantly prevented as your ship's command staff is executed by the Borg but you assume command and then take your vessel around to rescue the other damaged vessel's personnel. From there, you head down planetside to rescue a bunch of colonists from assimilation and then bring your ship around to join the fleet in blowing up a damaged Borg cube.
 * In a nice reversal of the Star Trek movie, while you're in command of your own starship at the end of the battle, you're still only promoted to a lieutenant's rank. Your vessel is also one of the smallest and weakest in Starfleet. Still, you can understand why Starfleet stands up and takes notice of your actions.
 * You escort a Vulcan ambassador to the monastery at P'jem. Once you arrive, the Klingons claim that the "ambassador" is in fact an Undine (aka Species 8472), and try to blow you up to get at him.
 * You're sent to meet a contact who knows something about what a rogue Klingon "Ambassador" is plotting. She isn't in the Ferengi-owned bar you were supposed to meet her in, and the owner is playing dumb. How do you get him to talk?
 * B'vat's last project was resurrecting  to use against the Federation.
 * Also in the same mission, K'Valk
 * "The Sisko has asked that we entrust this task to you." No spoilers, but that entire sequence, full stop.
 * Hell, most of the things that happen in Cardie space are awesome to varying degrees. The climax of it all is worth the price of admission to STO by itself, however.
 * So you're sent on what seems like a routine mission to meet another ship. You find it under attack and ride to the rescue...
 * The Reman Feature Episode "Cutting The Cord" in its entirety.  Is this a problem for you? Hell, no.   This sequence culminates in you calling in an  . And the mission isn't even over yet!
 * "Colosseum", the mission just before "Cutting the Cord", puts you in an arena and forces you to fight with melee weapons, including a Vulcan lirpa - while the famous music from "Amok Time" plays.
