The conclusion to the Terran Gambit Story Arc is here! What began with Reflections ends with Refractions as Terran Emperor Crusher has nearly made his way to Earth with “The Other”, the mirror version of our V’ger, to destroy the capitol of the Federation. Before he gets to Earth, you and your allies must break into a maximum-security prison in the Mirror Universe in a new 5 Captain Ground Task Force Operation “Bird Cage” and break out the mirror version of Beverly Crusher in the hopes that she might help stop her son. Gates McFadden will join our long list of Star Trek cast members in this release. In our new giant-sized episode “Fujiwhara Effect”, Emperor Crusher and “The Other” have made it to Earth. You and your allies must make a desperate attempt to stop him as the galaxy hangs in the balance. If you want to know more, you’ll have to play it - the less spoilers for this one, the better. In addition to this, we also have 2 new Patrols based on content from our previous release, Ascension. Both of these patrols fill in more details from Ascension. How did Janeway’s Borg drones get cleared from Jupiter Station? And what happened to the Khonshu while it was trapped in the mirror universe? As usual this time of the year, we’re celebrating our anniversary and this time it’s our 13th. Play the new content above, along with some previous Terran Gambit content, and the Omega Stabilization Game to earn the brand new V’Ger tech inspired T6 Compiler Science Dreadnought. This gigantic, alien ship can transform itself into electric probes that will chase your enemies. Work on this storyline kicked off in early 2021, and the team here has done a great job in bringing it to life. Along the way Kate Mulgrew, Wil Wheaton, and Gates McFadden joined our big cast of Star Trek actors. We can’t wait for you to play it. It’s always exciting to create the content but it’s more fun when it finally goes out to all of you.

Have you ever looked in the mirror and felt like something wasn't quite right? As part of our anniversary release, we're bringing two new patrols from the Mirror Universe—but they're twisted reflections. These patrols explore what-ifs and unseen parts of the story. Jupiter Station Showdown When Marshal Janeway unleashes her Borg assimilation on Jupiter Station, she leaves a lot of damage—and a lot of assimilated Starfleet officers—behind. Chase down Mirror Janeway as you fend off her drones and navigate the wreckage of Jupiter Station in the aftermath of her battle with the Inquisitor. Khonshu Khaibit During the mission "Firewall," the U.S.S. Khonshu was crippled in combat and managed to escape under cloak so that it could return later to guide the rest of the Starfleet task group back to the Prime universe, but what if your ship had fled alongside the Khonshu? Help the Khonshu get back up and running while fighting against Terran ships patrolling the area, so that your task force can successfully return home. As always, these patrols provide bonus skill points and ship mastery, and for our 13th anniversary they also grant credit toward completion of the event and the account unlock of a new ship—the Compiler Science Dreadnought [T6]. You can launch these patrols from the Patrol menu in the new Mirror Universe patrol section as soon as the 13th anniversary event starts on January 24 on PC. But don't worry about missing them—they'll remain in the patrol listings even after the anniversary concludes. Happy hunting, captains, and remember: If the lights go out, don't say "Janeway" three times while looking in the mirror...   .share-footer a { margin: 20px 10px 10px 0; background: url(https://pwimages-a.akamaihd.net/arc/d7/af/d7afaaa14e96d0d973f76157ae31ec5b1466398539.png) no-repeat 0 0; opacity: .5; display: inline-block; height: 60px; width: 60px; padding: 0; border: 1px solid transparent; -webkit-transition: opacity .3s; transition: opacity .3s; } .share-footer .TI { background-position: 0 20%; } .share-footer .YT { background-position: 0 40%; } .share-footer .YT { background-position: 0 40%; } .share-footer .TW { background-position: 0 60%; } .share-footer .FO { background-position: 0 80%; } .FB:hover { background-position: 100% 0%; } .TI:hover { background-position: 100% 20%; } .YT:hover { background-position: 100% 40%; } .TW:hover { background-position: 100% 60%; } .FO:hover { background-position: 100% 80%; } .share-footer a:hover { opacity: 1; -webkit-transition: opacity .3s; transition: opacity .3s; } $(document).ready( function() { $('.show-lightbox').click(function() { var $el = $(this); var link = $el.data().lightbox; $.colorbox({href: link, maxWidth: '90%', maxHeight: '90%', scalePhotos: true}); }); }); .headerimage { border: 2px inset rgba(255, 255, 255, .05); border-radius: 2em; box-shadow: 5px 5px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, .3); -webkit-transition: all 500ms ease; -moz-transition: all 500ms ease; -ms-transition: all 500ms ease; -o-transition: all 500ms ease; transition: all 500ms ease; }

Star Trek Online’s 13th Anniversary celebration will soon be upon us! This year’s Grand Prize for participating in the Event will be a truly alien starship – the Compiler Science Dreadnought [T6]! This fantastic starship is visually inspired by a mix between the visuals of the V’Ger Entity as seen in Star Trek: The Motion Picture (as well as concept art from the same), along with a portion of custom designs created in Star Trek Online for fleshing out the technology and enemies associated with “The Other” as seen in the current story arc. Earning the ship will require completing the daily activities available as part of the Anniversary Event and gathering enough Daily Progress to fulfill the Event’s overall quota. Players may participate in any of the available Summer activities to earn their Daily Progress once per day, per account. Once you have earned sufficient Daily Progress, you may claim this Starship for your entire account. Just open the Event Reclaim Store to claim a Compiler Science Dreadnought (T6) for each captain on your account.   Compiler Science Dreadnought (T6) Originally fabricated to serve as remote processors for the entity known as "The Other," these incomparable vessels have been reconstructed by the V'Ger Entity as means to aid in the safekeeping of our known galaxy. These inscrutable entities went to great lengths to provide starships that simple corporeal lifeforms can operate in a similar manner to other modern starships, but with a few additional strange pieces of technology built into their subsystems. It is unknown if we have unlocked their full potential, or if there is more to learn from their entirely alien design. This ship comes with a Lt Commander Science / Temporal Operative Specialist Bridge Officer Seat and a Lieutenant Universal / Temporal Operative Specialist Bridge Officer Seat.

This process is capable of reading and digitally storing absolutely anything imaginable, including the subconscious thought processes of intelligent biological and non-biological lifeforms, then recreating them in perfect detail. This particular adaptation of the technology serves as a weapon in starship combat, by completely digitizing your starship and crew into volatile energy which may be used to harm enemies, before rebuilding all transformed matter exactly as it previously was. As a gift from V'ger and Ilia, this technology is capable of being installed in all modern starships. This console also provides a passive boost to Power Transfer Rate, Starship Exotic Particle Generators Skill and Maximum Shield Capacity. This console may be equipped in any console slot, on any starship. You may only have one of these consoles equipped at a time.

The Worldrazer carries with it the pride of the Confederacy. To a people who root their identities in domination, there can be no such thing as self-satisfaction. Joy is torn only from the vanquished. New foes must always be sought and subjugated, the doing of it made a collective spectacle to entice the battered remains of the human spirit to slouch into a semblance of life, animated by hatred of the different. In so doing the violent nation can create a grand arena of the wilderness, lay all the bitter fruits of a life of anger at the tree of the eternal other, and cheer the chopping of the forest. The people need not be cared for in this model of state, saving resources that can be fed back into the war machine, fueling the cycle. To captain the pride of such a navy, to wield the axe of spectacle and conquest, is to live as a titan astride history. The survivors and ghosts agree: there is not and will never be a man greater than the Confederate Jean-Luc Picard, nor a ship greater than his. Continue reading further on for the full details on this new starship offering! Worldrazer Temporal Ops Juggernaut [T6] This ship features a Commander Tactical / Temporal Operations specialist bridge officer seat, and a Lt. Commander Engineering / Command specialist bridge officer seat.   Ship Details: Tier: 6 Faction: Federation or Federation-Aligned Required Rank: Must Complete the Tutorial Hull Modifier: 1.45 Shield Modifier: 1.15 Fore Weapons: 5 Aft Weapons: 3 Device Slots: 3 Bridge Officer Stations: Commander Tactical – Temporal Operations, Lt Commander Engineering - Command, Ensign Science, Lt Commander Universal, Lt Universal Consoles: 5 Tactical, 3 Engineering, 3 Science (scales with level) Base Turn Rate: 7 Impulse Modifier: 0.16 Inertia: 35 +10 Weapon Power, +5 Engine Power, +5 Auxiliary Power Console - Universal - Light of Civilization Can Equip Dual Cannons Innate Ability - Worldrazer Juggernaut Array Molecular Reconstruction Defensive Configuration Offensive Configuration Support Configuration Molecular Deconstruction Beam Starship Mastery Package (Juggernaut) Devastating Weaponry (+Critical Chance) Enhanced Weapon Banks (+Critical Severity) Rapid Repairs (+Hull Regeneration) Enhanced Weapon Systems (+All Damage) Cultural Conquest (Starship Trait)   Admiralty Ship Stats:   Eng:  30 Sci:  30 Tac:  66 Special: +8 Eng and Sci per TacShip   Innate Ability - Worldrazer Juggernaut Array The Worldrazer Juggernaut comes equipped with a Worldrazer Juggernaut Array that can be activated. After a short charge up time, this built-in weapon fires a massive blast of Phaser Energy directly in front of your starship, disabling and massively damaging anything that survives contact.   Console – Universal – Light of Civilization Activating this Console delivers the Foe a tremendous beam of Phaser energy, dealing Damage over Time that improves significantly after the first few moments. If the Foe is destroyed, it suffers an instant catastrophic core failure, dealing a large amount of Kinetic damage to all nearby Foes. It is regrettable that other powers in the galaxy continue to oppose the Confederacy. At times, an example must be made. It is not enough to simply live in peace and demonstrate a better way of life -- the light of civilization must be tempered in the forge of violence, quenched in every dim corner of the cosmos, and the path to prosperity under human domination marked with the wreckage of alien leaders. This console can be equipped in any starship, in any console slot. You may only equip one of these consoles on any single ship. This console provides a bonus to weapon subsystem power and crit severity against low health foes. Tooltip:   Starship Trait – Cultural Conquest Activating a Weapon Firing Mode improves Damage dealt for a moderate duration. Dealing Weapon Damage to a Foe that has afflicted you with a Control, Debuff, or DoT effect removes one such effect and improves the increased Damage to double the base value. Removing negative effects has a 1.5 second cooldown per Foe in PVP. One must truly immerse one's self in the culture of one's enemies. It is not enough simply to overwhelm through superior firepower, for that only brings physical victory, and only then to battles that were already won. True brilliance, true victory, comes from taking your enemies' spirit into yourself, growing from it, and using your gestalt superiority to crush them. Take what you can from them, and show them that their best selves aren't the tenth part of what you are. In the doing of this, the display of it, they can be brought to heel in not just one battle, but all the battles to come. Tooltip: Weapon Firing Modes apply +x% Increased Damage for y sec. Dealing Weapon Damage to Foes that have Debuffed, DoTed, or Controlled you improves the bonus to 2*x% and removes one such effect from you.   Jonathan Herlache Systems Designer Star Trek Online .share-footer a { margin: 20px 10px 10px 0; background: url(https://pwimages-a.akamaihd.net/arc/d7/af/d7afaaa14e96d0d973f76157ae31ec5b1466398539.png) no-repeat 0 0; opacity: .5; display: inline-block; height: 60px; width: 60px; padding: 0; border: 1px solid transparent; -webkit-transition: opacity .3s; transition: opacity .3s; } .share-footer .TI { background-position: 0 20%; } .share-footer .YT { background-position: 0 40%; } .share-footer .YT { background-position: 0 40%; } .share-footer .TW { background-position: 0 60%; } .share-footer .FO { background-position: 0 80%; } .FB:hover { background-position: 100% 0%; } .TI:hover { background-position: 100% 20%; } .YT:hover { background-position: 100% 40%; } .TW:hover { background-position: 100% 60%; } .FO:hover { background-position: 100% 80%; } .share-footer a:hover { opacity: 1; -webkit-transition: opacity .3s; transition: opacity .3s; } $(document).ready( function() { $('.show-lightbox').click(function() { var $el = $(this); var link = $el.data().lightbox; $.colorbox({href: link, maxWidth: '90%', maxHeight: '90%', scalePhotos: true}); }); }); .headerimage { border: 2px inset rgba(255, 255, 255, .05); border-radius: 2em; box-shadow: 5px 5px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, .3); -webkit-transition: all 500ms ease; -moz-transition: all 500ms ease; -ms-transition: all 500ms ease; -o-transition: all 500ms ease; transition: all 500ms ease; }

The Confederation of Earth was forged out of the human race’s hard-fought battle to survive.  When Earth was facing its own self-inflicted extinction, it was alone.  Forced to rely on its own ingenuity to survive, great men and women fearlessly stepped up to meet the challenge.  People like Dr. Adam Soong, whose pivotal work saved humanity.  Humanity didn’t need other species then, and they don’t need them now.  In the immortal words of Dr. Soong, “A Safe Galaxy is a Human Galaxy.” It was this terrible, alternate world that Picard and his friends were thrust into in season 3 of Star Trek: Picard. And while the techniques and weapons of the Confederation of Earth were horrifying, some of those designs nonetheless returned to our universe when Picard did. After a thorough debriefing from Starfleet Intelligence, Starfleet engineers were able to replicate some of the technology in a manner more suited to the ideals of Starfleet. And of course, as always happens, some of the Lobi Crystal Consortium were able to get their hands on those designs as well…   Captains opening the A Safe Galaxy Lock Box may find themselves fortunate enough to win the World Razer Temporal Op Juggernaught. This alternate, dark version of the USS Enterprise-D appeared in a painting in Picard’s Chateau, the first sign that he was in a universe where something was very, very wrong. This powerful Juggernaut offers several ways to give huge amounts of phaser damage to your enemies, ensuring nothing in your direct sight survives. (Additional information on the above starship will be contained in a separate Developer Blog.) Starship Trait – Confederation Furor The bloodlust of the Confederation can work in your favor. When you have this trait slotted, you get a bonus to your weapon subsystem power every time you defeat an enemy. This effect will stack up to three times, and additional enemies defeated will grant a brief overflow.   There are three new Kit Modules available in the A Safe Galaxy Lock Box, which can be used by any profession. Kit Module – Explosive Drones Explosive Drone creates a semi-autonomous drone which identifies and hunts down hostile targets. The drone explodes upon reaching close proximity to the enemy target, causing kinetic damage to all nearby enemies. Kit Module – Shield Drones Shield Drones create a field around you that regenerates personal shields and reduces the damage taken by personal shields for allies in the affected area. Kit Module – Watcher Servo The Watcher's Servo is a multi-functional device employed by Watchers. This device has the ability to hypnotize targets causing them to be dazed or confused. This device can also manipulate electronic devices, causing them to damage themselves. Obliviating Phaser Beams Opening this pack presents you with a Obliviating Phaser beam. Obliviating Phaser space weapons have a chance to bypass your target's Shields and penetrate its Hull deeply. This replaces the standard Phaser effect. All weapons contained within these crates are of Very Rare quality, and contain the special passive mentioned previously, in addition to other random modifiers. A Safe Galaxy Lock Box will also contain three new types of ground weapon. They are:   Dual Federation Phaser Rifle 2399c and Federation Phaser Rifle 2399c The previous generation of Federation ground weaponry has a secondary fire that shoots at up to five different targets. Instead of the traditional “spray and pray,” these secondary attacks are precise.   Mr. Vup’s Pistol Mr Vup's pistol is a type of pistol colloquially known as a Barkeeper's Friend.  It is a wide beam phaser pistol that has been altered to deliver a strong concussive force.  Most effective in close quarters, it boast much greater knockback power the closer target is.  It’s said to have received its nickname due it being similar in function to the “sawed-off” shotguns featured in fictional Holodeck programs set in the 19th and 20th century.   Watcher Bridge Officers Another thing to be obtained from the A Safe Galaxy Lock Box is the Bridge Officer Pack, which will contain a Watcher Companion to add to your Bridge Officer roster. These Watchers were created by the power of the Travelers to help ensure the survival of crucial people and species throughout time and space, and now they’re here to watch over you. In addition to any of these rewards, opening one of the A Safe Galaxy Lock Box’s options will grant you a small amount of Lobi Crystals. Lobi Crystal Consortium Offerings   Confederation Combadge This Combadge from the Confederation also has the capability to used as a knife. Its unique design allows it to be worn as a standard Combadge, additionally, it can use used as a knife in hand to hand combat. When wielding this Sidearm in combat, it's used at a fighting knife and can be thrown at targets outside of knife range.  This Sidearm is also capable of causing the target to Bleed for 3 sec.  As a Sidearm, similar to the previously released Terran Knife, the Confederation Combadge replaces the Tertiary attack. For example, if you have Palm Strike as your Tertiary attack and you equip this Confederation Combadge Sidearm, it will replace your Palm Strike with it. This Sidearm takes up a Device slot.    Zhat Vash Rifle Zhat Vash operatives uses these powerful weapons during infiltration assignments, frequently while posing as Tal Shiar agents. The secondary fire is an explosive area attack similar to the pistol version.  However, unlike their pistol counterparts, they do not require time to build up the explosive charge.    Mike Fatum Community Manager Star Trek Online   .share-footer a { margin: 20px 10px 10px 0; background: url(https://pwimages-a.akamaihd.net/arc/d7/af/d7afaaa14e96d0d973f76157ae31ec5b1466398539.png) no-repeat 0 0; opacity: .5; display: inline-block; height: 60px; width: 60px; padding: 0; border: 1px solid transparent; -webkit-transition: opacity .3s; transition: opacity .3s; } .share-footer .TI { background-position: 0 20%; } .share-footer .YT { background-position: 0 40%; } .share-footer .YT { background-position: 0 40%; } .share-footer .TW { background-position: 0 60%; } .share-footer .FO { background-position: 0 80%; } .FB:hover { background-position: 100% 0%; } .TI:hover { background-position: 100% 20%; } .YT:hover { background-position: 100% 40%; } .TW:hover { background-position: 100% 60%; } .FO:hover { background-position: 100% 80%; } .share-footer a:hover { opacity: 1; -webkit-transition: opacity .3s; transition: opacity .3s; } $(document).ready( function() { $('.show-lightbox').click(function() { var $el = $(this); var link = $el.data().lightbox; $.colorbox({href: link, maxWidth: '90%', maxHeight: '90%', scalePhotos: true}); }); }); .headerimage { border: 2px inset rgba(255, 255, 255, .05); border-radius: 2em; box-shadow: 5px 5px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, .3); -webkit-transition: all 500ms ease; -moz-transition: all 500ms ease; -ms-transition: all 500ms ease; -o-transition: all 500ms ease; transition: all 500ms ease; }

As Star Trek Online completes its thirteenth year representing the Star Trek universe, we are pleased to kick off the festivities for our Anniversary Celebration starting on PC on January 24th, 2023 and continuing until February 23th, 2023. (Console dates will be announced at a later date.) All of the usual activities will contribute toward your Daily Progress in the Event, eventually earning your way toward the Grand Prize – a Tier 6 Ship! Keep reading to reveal what activities and prizes await those who join us to celebrate the 13th Anniversary. The Grand Prize for this event will be a brand new Tier 6 ship – revealed tonight at 4:30 PT on a new Ten Forward Weekly! You can watch on our Twitch Channel or our Facebook Page. Part of the anniversary update will be several brand new activities that will be a part of this event. Look for more information about them, soon.   Activities: [NEW]Episode: "Fujiwhara Effect" (2 pts.) Episode: "Eye of the Storm" (2 pts.) [NEW]TFO: "Bird Cage" (2 pts.) TFO: "Iupiter Irratus" (2 pts.) [NEW]Patrol: "Khonshu Khaibit" (1 pt.) [NEW]Patrol: "Jupiter Station Showdown"  (1 pt.) Omega Particle Stabilization  (1 pt.) Remember that earning additional Daily Progress also grants you scaling Dilithium Ore bonus rewards, after you have claimed the Grand Prize! Players unable to find the time to complete the Event, or interested in rushing to complete their progress, will have the opportunity to purchase the remainder of their Daily Progress using Zen at any time. The base price for this buyout will be discounted based on the amount of Daily Progress you have already accrued. Omega Molecule Stabilization Game Q is up to his annual shenanigans. He will once again be rewarding captains for stabilizing Omega Particles found in various social zones in Star Trek Online. Talk to Q to get the mission “Omega Stabilization (Daily)” and you will be given three zones to visit where you must stabilize an Omega Particle by playing a minigame. The chosen zones will change periodically, inviting players to explore the vast expanses of space in order to complete this challenge. The minigame itself is simple - Omega molecules will fall in from the left in one of four channels. Captains will move the capture device into the correct channel as the molecule hits the right-hand line. The more molecules you capture, the more Omega molecules you’ll safely dissipate, and the more points you will score. Q doesn’t care how many points you score, just that you complete the minigame in order to receive credit for his Daily Mission. Doing so will grant you Daily Progress if you have not already earned it for the day, as well as the other standard rewards associated with this Daily Mission. The score received from the minigame does influence your rewards, however! The more points you score, the better chance you have at scoring better quality Omega particle remnants which can be used with the R&D system to craft special Omega Particle Tech Upgrades. Omega Traces come in the three different colors of the Omega nodes themselves. Using the R&D system you can combine 1 of each Trace into an Omega Sliver. You can them combine three Omega Slivers into an Omega Shard, and three Omega Shards into an Omega Fragment. Three Omega Fragments can then be combined into an Omega Tech Upgrade which costs no dilithium to apply, and supplies a massive dose of Technology and Research Points to whatever item it is applied to. Alternately, two Omega Fragments can be combined with varying amounts of Refined Dilithium to produce [Mark] and [Rarity] variations of the Omega Upgrade. These variants focus entirely on improving item Mark or Rarity, respectively, making them ideal for players seeking specific avenues of upgrading their equipment. Completing the minigame will always score you a single Omega Trace at the very least. The better you score, the greater your chance to win Omega Slivers, Shards, or even Fragments. Beginning with this year’s update, all Omega materials will be changed to Bind-to-Account-on-Pickup, rather than being tradeable with other players. However, refinement techniques have improved since the previous event, so rewards from the minigame will be a bit better, especially for those who score fewer points. New Party Popper! It wouldn’t be the anniversary without a brand new Party Popper to earn. The 13th Anniversary version of our annual toy-device takes the grand, cosmic power of V'ger and shrinks it down to an itty bitty party horn.  We’ll see you at the party!   .share-footer a { margin: 20px 10px 10px 0; background: url(https://pwimages-a.akamaihd.net/arc/d7/af/d7afaaa14e96d0d973f76157ae31ec5b1466398539.png) no-repeat 0 0; opacity: .5; display: inline-block; height: 60px; width: 60px; padding: 0; border: 1px solid transparent; -webkit-transition: opacity .3s; transition: opacity .3s; } .share-footer .TI { background-position: 0 20%; } .share-footer .YT { background-position: 0 40%; } .share-footer .YT { background-position: 0 40%; } .share-footer .TW { background-position: 0 60%; } .share-footer .FO { background-position: 0 80%; } .FB:hover { background-position: 100% 0%; } .TI:hover { background-position: 100% 20%; } .YT:hover { background-position: 100% 40%; } .TW:hover { background-position: 100% 60%; } .FO:hover { background-position: 100% 80%; } .share-footer a:hover { opacity: 1; -webkit-transition: opacity .3s; transition: opacity .3s; } $(document).ready( function() { $('.show-lightbox').click(function() { var $el = $(this); var link = $el.data().lightbox; $.colorbox({href: link, maxWidth: '90%', maxHeight: '90%', scalePhotos: true}); }); }); .headerimage { border: 2px inset rgba(255, 255, 255, .05); border-radius: 2em; box-shadow: 5px 5px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, .3); -webkit-transition: all 500ms ease; -moz-transition: all 500ms ease; -ms-transition: all 500ms ease; -o-transition: all 500ms ease; transition: all 500ms ease; }

Admiral Leeta and her entourage of Starfleet security personnel waited in the windowless conference room with only their distorted reflections in the black wall paneling to keep them company. She smiled to Lt. Carpenter again, and again he did not return it. She enjoyed this game. Long minutes had passed before Commander DeSoto and five Section 31 agents entered the room. They moved like an oil slick to the opposite side of the table and, with the click-clack of DeSoto's datapad being set onto the table, took their seats. DeSoto's eyes shifted to rest on Leeta's boots, which were propped up on the edge of the conference desk. She met his gaze, considering challenging his objection to her pursuit for comfort, but opted not to die on that hill. With a shrug she sat up and swung her feet off of the table, but chose to stand rather than sit, seizing some measure of control in the room back to her side of the table. DeSoto and the agents leaned back to look up at Leeta who now placed a hand on the table and leaned, her fingers drumming out a steady rhythm as silence threatened to engulf the room. DeSoto finally spoke, standing as he did so to regain some measure of command over the room. "So far your story is checking out, Admiral. Though there are some... in my company that believe this to all be a grand deception." Leeta glanced from DeSoto to his agents, and back again. She could not discover which of them might be responsible for such beliefs. She was mildly impressed at their Tongo-faces. DeSoto continued, "As indicated in your after-action report over Pahvo, the Terran Inquisitor revealed to you that they had a plan before they departed from the interior of the Other while Emperor Crusher was still merging with it. It seems that this outlandish claim has some truth to it." His hand moved to a wall console, the LCARs display blinking into existence at his touch and his fingers moved rapidly between the buttons, though not too swiftly for her to follow the sequence. A video image appeared on the screen. A recording of a communication between a Federation starship and the Terran Inquisitor. The Inquisitor's synthetically augmented voice began. Leeta felt a chill roll down her spine at the sound of it. "I have a message for your Starfleet Command and defector Admiral Leeta who is in their custody. And Captain, do not attempt to adjust your sensors to locate me. The Defiant's cloaking device is more than capable of countering any sensor adjustments your science officers or engineers can cook up in the time I have allotted for this conversation." The starship's captain responded, after a time, no doubt visually confirming with one of their bridge officers that the Inquisitor's claims were, indeed, defeating their ship's sensors. "Well then, Terran. I will gladly pass this message along as it appears you have no interest in firing upon my vessel. Unless that changes I see no reason not to be cordial with one another." The Inquisitor continued, "As promised I have formulated a plan for our mutual benefit in regards to the Other. I am sending over schematics and a detailed operational plan now. I have refrained from including necessary rendezvous coordinates to ensure that Admiral Leeta is consulted on this plan as per her agreement with me. Without her input the information I have provided you, and your Section 31, will, most likely, be worthless." The Starfleet captain chimed in, "I will pass on this information, but surely you must realize that all this subterfuge is detrimental to your case, assuming you are pursuing our assistance on the matter." The Inquisitor responded, "Understand this, captain. I am the Inquisitor of the Terran Empire. I serve the Terran Empire. We are not allies. This is an aberration of events that has forced us into cooperation. The alternative is annihilation. The subterfuge is necessary. Your Section 31 will understand and respect it as I do them. Pass on the information, undergo whatever scrutiny you deem necessary. But know this; If this operation fails the fault will not be lain at my feet. I have done much to give us the best chance at survival. I expect you to do your part." Long seconds passed before a response was given, "I will deliver your message, Inquisitor." A brief pause, "I would like to conclude this meeting with a thought, nay, a hope. That our two peoples may, through times of turmoil such as these, realize that our differences are vastly outnumbered by our similarities, and that through recognizing ourselves in one another, we might come to peace, rather than war in the future." The Inquisitor's response was brief before their image winked out, "Hope is the last defense of the weak against the strong. And our enemy is very strong." DeSoto toggled the view screen off. He hadn't watched a moment of the recording and had instead studied Leeta the entire time. He pushed the datapad across the table to her. "We've analyzed those plans and need your input." Leeta picked up the datapad. The first line told her everything she needed to know. It simply read "The Bird Cage". Her response was genuine. "Well...f-"   IN THE BIRD CAGE, THE EMPEROR WILL MAKE YOU SING. Can you overcome the defenses of the Terran Empire's most notorious prison complex and rescue a VIP of upmost importance, or will you end up one of its denizens and live out your days in an agonizer cell? The Bird Cage is the lovingly nicknamed super-max security complex that the Terran Empire uses to hold people of strategic value but who need to disappear. In here the agonizer cell is the least of your concerns as the warden has taken liberties with the prisoners to continue his augmented gene-splicing research in an effort to produce the next generation of Terran soldiers. Expect this dangerous mission on PC very soon.   John Hegner Senior Systems Designer Star Trek Online

We’re pleased to announce the return of the Research and Development Event! This event will run from January 10th at 8AM PT to Monday, January 17th at 10AM PST, and features several bonuses throughout STO that will give Captains of all levels a leg up advancing their rank in the Research and Development school(s) of their choice. For those Captains looking specifically for extra help with their projects, all R&D packs throughout the game will give out an extra 25% of the items they currently disperse for the duration of this event. Queue R&D Material Reward Packages (Normal, Advanced and Elite) will reward 25% more R&D Materials and have a chance to reward a Catalyst. Alternatively, Captains wanting to advance through Research and Development schools as fast as possible should seek out Harvest Nodes, located in mission maps throughout STO, which will not only disperse 2 extra R&D Materials each time they are used, but will also reward 10 Dilithium Ore and have a chance to give out a R&D Catalyst during this event. For all Captains that work on a Research and Development project during this weekend event, those projects will reward an extra 50% of the appropriate Research and Development School XP. This includes projects to make components as well as those to make items. .share-footer a { margin: 20px 10px 10px 0; background: url(https://pwimages-a.akamaihd.net/arc/d7/af/d7afaaa14e96d0d973f76157ae31ec5b1466398539.png) no-repeat 0 0; opacity: .5; display: inline-block; height: 60px; width: 60px; padding: 0; border: 1px solid transparent; -webkit-transition: opacity .3s; transition: opacity .3s; } .share-footer .TI { background-position: 0 20%; } .share-footer .YT { background-position: 0 40%; } .share-footer .YT { background-position: 0 40%; } .share-footer .TW { background-position: 0 60%; } .share-footer .FO { background-position: 0 80%; } .FB:hover { background-position: 100% 0%; } .TI:hover { background-position: 100% 20%; } .YT:hover { background-position: 100% 40%; } .TW:hover { background-position: 100% 60%; } .FO:hover { background-position: 100% 80%; } .share-footer a:hover { opacity: 1; -webkit-transition: opacity .3s; transition: opacity .3s; } $(document).ready( function() { $('.show-lightbox').click(function() { var $el = $(this); var link = $el.data().lightbox; $.colorbox({href: link, maxWidth: '90%', maxHeight: '90%', scalePhotos: true}); }); }); .headerimage { border: 2px inset rgba(255, 255, 255, .05); border-radius: 2em; box-shadow: 5px 5px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, .3); -webkit-transition: all 500ms ease; -moz-transition: all 500ms ease; -ms-transition: all 500ms ease; -o-transition: all 500ms ease; transition: all 500ms ease; }

The entire Galaxy is going to Red Alert! From January 10th at 8am PT (17:00 CEST) – January 24th at 10am PT (19:00 CEST) all of our Red Alert events will be returning at once, as the Final Frontier is caught in a massive invasion on all sides. During this event, you’ll be able to play the following content: Borg Red Alert Elachi Red Alert Tholian Red Alert Tzenkethi Red Alert* Nakuhl Red Alert   *Please note: As the only Red Alert with a fail condition, the Tzenkethi Red Alert will not grant daily bonus progress if you fail the TFO. The fail condition will likely be removed in future runs of this event. In addition to their usual rewards, these Task Force Operations will also grant daily bonus progress. You’ll receive one Daily Progress each day for completing one Red Alert – doesn’t matter which one – on any character on your account. After you receive ten daily progress, you’ll be rewarded with a package containing the following, once per account: An Ultimate Tech Upgrade A Specialization Point An Experimental Ship Upgrade Token   You can also purchase this Grand Prize on the events page, if you’d prefer. The price will be prorated as you earn Daily Progress, becoming cheaper the more you play. If you earn, or purchase, the event’s Grand Prize, you can still complete Red Alerts to earn Bonus Progress. Completing a Red Alert TFO each day will grant a bonus amount of Dilithium Ore, beginning at 8,000 and increasing by 1,000 for each completion thereafter. Red Alert Task Force Operations are available to Captains of level 50 or higher. Head out and defend the Galaxy, Captains! Go to Red Alert!   .share-footer a { margin: 20px 10px 10px 0; background: url(https://pwimages-a.akamaihd.net/arc/d7/af/d7afaaa14e96d0d973f76157ae31ec5b1466398539.png) no-repeat 0 0; opacity: .5; display: inline-block; height: 60px; width: 60px; padding: 0; border: 1px solid transparent; -webkit-transition: opacity .3s; transition: opacity .3s; } .share-footer .TI { background-position: 0 20%; } .share-footer .YT { background-position: 0 40%; } .share-footer .YT { background-position: 0 40%; } .share-footer .TW { background-position: 0 60%; } .share-footer .FO { background-position: 0 80%; } .FB:hover { background-position: 100% 0%; } .TI:hover { background-position: 100% 20%; } .YT:hover { background-position: 100% 40%; } .TW:hover { background-position: 100% 60%; } .FO:hover { background-position: 100% 80%; } .share-footer a:hover { opacity: 1; -webkit-transition: opacity .3s; transition: opacity .3s; } $(document).ready( function() { $('.show-lightbox').click(function() { var $el = $(this); var link = $el.data().lightbox; $.colorbox({href: link, maxWidth: '90%', maxHeight: '90%', scalePhotos: true}); }); }); .headerimage { border: 2px inset rgba(255, 255, 255, .05); border-radius: 2em; box-shadow: 5px 5px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, .3); -webkit-transition: all 500ms ease; -moz-transition: all 500ms ease; -ms-transition: all 500ms ease; -o-transition: all 500ms ease; transition: all 500ms ease; }

The Glory of Santa Gorn reigns. His thirst for sales is almost sated. But before he can return to his wintery rest, he has one more present to give. One more tribute to demand.
