Star Trek Online is offering some special gifts to mark the 30th anniversary of Star Trek: Voyager, and beginning the Klingon Recruitment event.
PC players can grab a few gifts to commemorate the anniversary of Voyager now through January 26th at noon PT. The STO team anticipates console players being able to get these new gifts on February 18th. Claim the pack once per account and add these to your collection as long as you have an empty ship slot:
- T6 Long Range Science Vessel
- T5 Kazon Heavy Raider
- Faction-Appropriate EMH Mk I Science Officer
If you've been looking for a reason to perhaps roll a new character, the Klingon Recruitment event is here. New Klingon captains made during the event, which runs through February 11th, will be Klngon Recruits. The special event means a series of perks and benefits to aid in leveling and progression.
It isn’t as straightforward as that though. You have to work for it, but it will be very rewarding if you do. How about a new T6 Bird-of-Prey that will scale to your level and a special Bat’leth? The event announcement details some of the challenges:
“Their mysterious patron is dead-set on removing Enemies of the Empire. After contacting Klingon Recruits during the tutorial, they are likely to move against these Enemies, attaching additional dangers and rewards to missions along the Klingon Storyline.”
There are a number of goals to complete and when you do, you'll get Marks, equipment, and additional loot that will benefit your new recruit and the rest of your characters. Participating in the event will help all of your characters.
The new recruits also get a special bonus of periodic caches of Dilithium Ore drops when defeating enemies. The temporary bonus applies to everyone in the group, so it is beneficial to group with these new Klingon Recruits.
The event announcement will help you prepare for Star Trek Online’s rewarding fast-progression event.
