Initially, on Earth, the term “flag ship” referred to the ship of an Admiral. The ship would fly the Admiral’s flag, letting the rest of the ships in her squadron know where their commander was on the battlefield, and leading the charge into battle. Hundreds of years later, the Federation, the Klingon Empire, the Romulan Republic and the Jem’Hadar all use the same word (translated from various languages) to denote the ship that sallys forth at the front of any formation. These ships, such as the Enterprise F, are the ships that blaze a path into the future, whether that future be of exploration or conquest. Any citizen of the Federation feels safer when an Odyssey class comes into view, and this month, all of the Khitomer Alliance will gather to celebrate these mighty flagships and their crew.
The next step of our 2024 Event Campaign is coming to PC, with an event dedicated to the flagships of Star Trek Online. From August 22nd at 8am PT to September 12th at 10am PT, you’ll have the chance to participate in four different Task Force Operations – all of them in space – to progress towards both this year’s Event Campaign Grand Prize and the new Khitomer Defender Space Set.
The TFOs that will be a part of this event are:
- Borg: Disconnected (Space)
- Iuppiter Irratus (Space)
- Swarm (Space)
- Synth Wave (Space)
Rewards
Upon completing 14 days of progress on the Flagship Celebration Event, you’ll unlock the Khitomer Defender Space Set. This three-piece Space Set includes a shield, deflector, and engines.
Khitomer Alliance Regenerative Shield Array
The Khitomer Alliance Regenerative Shield Array is built for frontline combat and survivability. This helps you lead the charge and punish any who oppose you. To help with this, the shield has active sensors which track the current status of each facing shield. If any enemy's attack damages the hull below a downed facing shield, the sensors trigger an instant retaliation which blasts that enemy with an antiproton beam. Each facing shield must be regenerated up to at least 25% before being able to retaliate again.
Khitomer Alliance Hyper Impulse Engine
This unique propulsion system uses a rebuilt Hyper Impulse Engine as its base. The original engine was modified to make it perform more like a combat engine without sacrificing all of its greater thrust capacity.
This engine is modified to increase Shields Regeneration based on current throttle. It has a higher base speed and turn rate compared to standard Combat engines.
Khitomer Alliance Deflector Array
The Khitomer Alliance Deflector Array emphasizes shield durability, helping you dive into the frontlines by vastly amplifying your Shield Capacity and Shield Regeneration. To ensure that you are able to dish out punishment to any who dare to oppose you, it also provides bonuses to your Critical Hit Chance and Antiproton damage, the Khitomer Alliance's hallmark.
Two Piece Set Bonus
Equipping two pieces of this set gives you a bonus to Shield Regeneration and Shield Hardness.
Three Piece Set Bonus
Equipping all three pieces of this set grants you the power Coordinated Empowering Antiproton Field. By the factions' powers combined, you and your team get Cloaked briefly and gain empowered Shield Regeneration and Damage Bonus. Also, a damaging Antiproton field forms centered on you and your teammates, dealing damage to any enemy caught inside. The field's damage scales up with the amount of enemies inside the field.
Now, upon claiming this Grand Prize (whether earned or purchased), your account will immediately become eligible for Bonus Progress. The first Bonus Progress rewarded will be accompanied by a reward of 8,000 Dilithium Ore. Earning Bonus Progress each day thereafter will increase this reward by an additional 1,000.
Event Campaign
This Featured Event will be the fourth of a series of upcoming Events that will participate in the latest installment of our multi-event system known as an Event Campaign. For 2024, we're changing things up a bit. You'll need to participate in six events in total in order to earn the Grand Prize. However, the Grand Prize is changing, as well. Instead of having to choose between a Tier 6 Infinity Promotional Ship of your choice, Two Free T6 Zen Store Coupons, or 1500 Lobi, you will receive all three. No more difficult choices, just get all of the rewards at once!
- Players may earn 50 Event Campaign Progress for each day they participate in an eligible event.
- Buying out an eligible event will include up to 700 Event Campaign Progress.
- Each event’s buyout only grants as much Event Campaign Progress as is relative to the amount paid, after pro-rated discounts are applied. This means that paying half price, (because you participated in 7 out of 14 of the required days so far) will grant you 350 Event Campaign Progress. Essentially, you get what you pay for.
- Complete the entire campaign to unlock a Tier 6 Infinity Promotional Ship of your choice, Two Free T6 Zen Store Coupons, and 1500 Lobi.
We hope you enjoy this event, Captains, and we’ll see you in the final frontier.
