* You respawn at a nearby medical station: When you die, you don't actually lose your character. You'll be transported to the nearest medical station (or sometimes a nearby bridge) and revived.
* You lose some experience: You'll lose a small amount of experience points (XP) upon death. However, this loss is minimal and shouldn't significantly affect your character's progress.
* You can choose to use a revive token: You have the option to use a "revive token" to instantly respawn at your death location. These tokens are acquired through gameplay and can be helpful for avoiding the slight XP loss and the travel time back to your original location.
* You don't lose any items or progress: You don't lose any of your equipment, skill points, or any progress you've made in the game when you die. Your character's progression is safe and secure.
Therefore, dying in Star Trek Online is a temporary setback rather than a permanent loss. You can quickly rejoin the action without losing significant progress, making it a relatively low-stakes experience for players.
