Star Trek Online is turning eight years old, well on its way to a decade of space travel. With 161 episodes, 3 expansions and 14 seasons of gameplay, STO is a success. PC players are invited in to celebrate the anniversary with an event featuring a new featured episode and lots of themed events yielding special rewards. It all kicks off on January 23rd.
From now through January 23rd, captains hitting the C-Store can check out server-wide giveaways and collect rewards including uniforms, starships and other items. The STO blog will be updated with a list of rewards.
Then, starting January 23rd, captains can take on the new featured episode called Scylla & Charibdis.
- New Featured Episode – Captains must rally the fleet to stand in the way of the Tzenkethi’s path of destruction through the Alpha Quadrant in the new episode “Scylla & Charibdis.”
- Re-Engineering – This new feature allows players to change the mods on their existing items, including weapons.
- Omega Molecule Stabilization – Back by popular demand, players can join this event to collect Omega particles that Q has hidden across space. Stabilizing these molecules will yield prize vouchers, which can be redeemed for this year’s anniversary ship, the T6 Denorios-class Bajoran Interceptor.
- 8th Anniversary Party Poppers – Captains can meet up with Q to score a special event party popper, which allows them to generate exciting new effects!
- LootCrate Giveaway – Players can follow Star Trek Online on Facebook and Twitter to find out how they can enter to win a one-year subscription to the Star Trek Mission Crate from Loot Crate, which offers exclusive Star Trek apparel and collectibles every two months. Starting at the end of this month, each crate will also include codes to unlock in-game items for Star Trek Online, including starships, Bridge Officers, gear and exclusive emotes.
The console anniversary events will begin at a later date.
