Nog, dressed for a night in Vic’s Lounge, notices heavy traffic in the holosuite enticed by a hologram named Minuet. This phenomenon isn’t limited to Deep Space Nine, reports are coming in from throughout Starfleet. Crew members are becoming attached and addicted to the holodecks, resulting in them abandoning their duties. Why is Minuet appearing so rapidly in so many simulations? Is there an insidious motive, or is it just a matter of holograms wanting love and companionship like anyone else?

With the upcoming Mega-Event "Photonic Fantasies," we are introducing a change to the ranked rewards structure.
Starting with "Pygmalion", the Hybrid event that will kick off our upcoming Mega-Event, the ranked rewards will no longer include the featured Legendary crew for the current event. Instead, ranked rewards will include the Legendary crew featured in the next event.
For example, for the Pygmalion event, top-ranking players will be able to earn the following week’s Legendary crew, Gloria, instead of the featured Legendary crew, Tuxedo Nog.
Developer's comment:
With this change we want to make the ranked rewards more enticing to players who invest in the featured crew early on, while also providing an opportunity for everyone to compete towards a crew who will serve them well in the following event.
This is the only change to the ranked rewards structure at this time. The number of crew awarded at each rank and the Super Rare and Rare crew that are awarded will remain unchanged.
Developer's comment:
We are looking forward to your feedback about this new ranked rewards structure. The threshold rewards change we made for the rerun of the "Family Tree" event was positively received and we are committed to providing the same structure in future reruns! As with any changes we will review their effects. We may make additional adjustments to get us closer to our goal of creating exciting and engaging experiences for all players.
A younger Q, restless with how the Alpha Quadrant seems to be settling down, decides to host a boxing tournament with some of the highest stakes imaginable: extinction for the losers! He has selected three factions for potential extinction who must send up champions to prove they are worthy of avoiding said fate - the Maquis, Augments, and Klingons!

The same Vulcan neurological disease that threatened to claim the mind of Lieutenant Commander Tuvok has accelerated rapidly in a large number of Vulcans. The only known cure is to perform fal-tor-voh with a blood relative, but the temporal anomaly crisis has left most families fractured, unsure if their blood relatives are even in the same timeline, let alone alive. Join the Federation and its allies in conducting a galactic-wide search for these lost family members so that they may save their stricken Vulcan relatives--before it’s too late.

Vash is at it again and this time she has the Romulan Valdore warbird on her tail! As a courtesy following her past positive interactions with the Federation, Donatra opens a comm channel to Starfleet, asking them not to let Vash get away--she’s stolen the statue of Senator Valdore! The Romulans are not pleased and Donatra warns that if the Federation gives anything but its best efforts to apprehend her, the Romulans will see that as aiding and abetting a fugitive!

This week we are celebrating 52 years of Star Trek with free Crew Slots, a sale for Crew Slots as well as Dabo Wheel, and some Voyages changes !
Let's start with free crew slots! Today, everyone was granted 5 free additional crew slots. This increases the base total to 75.
We have also added 5 more tiers of purchasable crew slots, for a total of 53 purchasable tiers (265 purchasable crew slots).
To top it off, all tiers of purchasable crew slots and Dabo Wheel spins are now 50% OFF! This sale will last until Tuesday, September 11 at noon ET (16:00 UTC).
Please note that the current price displayed for purchasable crew slots and for Dabo Wheel spins is the discounted one. (this will be reverted next Tuesday).
And last, but not least, let's talk about Voyages. It has been almost a year worth of Voyages and we are bringing in some changes that we hope you will enjoy.
- 2 new crew have been added as Voyage Exclusive crew ••• Dr. Leonard McCoy 4* ••• Ensign Picard 4*
- One time rewards, such as Voyage Exclusive crew, can now be obtained multiple times. This is a change we wanted to implement for a while now, we apologize that it impacted some players as early as last week.
We also recognize that some of you have used citations to fuse these exclusive crew and we have taken that into account. Each player having fused these specific crew by way of citations has been automatically awarded some Honor based on the number of citations used. Please make sure to restart your game to see the updated amount.
As this is quite the celebration we have also sent you 1x 4* citation via in-game mail.
Odo sends a very staticy and difficult to understand distress call to Starfleet - he keeps slipping to different points in time, and has lost control of his shapeshifting abilities! Elizabeth Dehner says with her psionic abilities, she has managed to lock on to Odo’s location in time, but she cannot guarantee for how long! The Klingon healer Antaak believes that he can treat Odo’s uncontrollable shapeshifting - provided they can return him to the 24th century. The Dominion has also begun to take a sharp interest in the situation. Will Captains be able to figure out a way to retrieve Odo before he’s lost to time forever?
