The extragalactic beings known as the Old Ones are back, and in big trouble! Supernatural forces have invaded their mysterious castle and taken several of the strange visitors from another galaxy prisoner. Their goal to gain possession of a powerful device known as -- the Transmuter!

Yes, the time for spooky adventure has returned - it's time for STO's Halloween Event! This three-week event, from October 12th at 8am PT to November 2nd at 12pm PT, includes two Patrols, in addition to the Task Force Operation “Cat’s Tale”.

Heed my words! Where “Cat’s Tale” is a group effort, the Halloween Patrols are meant to test a single Captain’s mettle! Are you prepared to boldly go within the walls of Castle Pyris, there to face the terrible creatures that prowl within its shadowy depths?

Event Progress

Participating in this event grants daily progress towards the Grand Prize: The Anaphasic Plasma Candle Device. Additionally, the first character on your account that claims this reward will also receive 25,000 Dilithium Ore, and 3 Featured Episode Reward Boxes.

Obtaining the Grand Prize requires 14 daily progress. Captains can earn one daily progress per account per day by playing the Patrols “Skeleton Crew” and “Witches Brew”, along with the Halloween Task Force Operation “Cat's Tale”!

Once Captains have obtained 14 daily progress on their account, they can claim the Grand Prize. After that, the event will still be playable, granting a scaling Dilithium reward that begins at 8,000 Dilithium Ore and scales by 1,000 Dilithium Ore for every day you participate in the event, up to a cap of 50,000 Dilithium Ore per day.

Captains will also have the option to purchase their remaining progress in the event with Zen. The price for this buyout will prorate, based on the amount of progress a Captain has completed.

Anaphasic Plasma Candle Device
This candle has a plasma manifold that actually acts as a summoning signal for an anaphasic lifeform, which comes when called. The lifeform favors the candle owner and tries to protect the holder. Once such candle was passed down as a family heirloom to Dr. Beverly Crusher of the U.S.S. Enterprise, but it was destroyed when the lifeform became obsessive and attacked her friends.

This is a special event for the month of October and is not part of an Event Campaign. You’ll be able to try out this content on October 12th on PC, Xbox, and Playstation! We do hope you’ll enjoy this spooky event, Captains… if you dare!

I question the logic of this reward. Any Star Trek fan worth their :vulcan2: will know that the candle is a trap. I mean, it doesn't matter what it does in game. I just don't want it. :face: The section of my brain in which resides all the lore and understanding of the Star Trek universe, says "Noooooo! Don't be stupid like Beverly was."
Seriously, who thought this was a good idea?
