Troubled by the recent strains on the unity of the Klingon Empire, the Klingon High Council has decided to cautiously try and welcome these Klingons of the past into the fold by reviving the Torchbearer tradition. But instead of a single Torchbearer lighting the Beacon of Kahless to bring the houses together, this time multiple Torchbearers from all the houses will make ceremonial journeys throughout the Alpha Quadrant to show the unity the Klingon Empire has with its many non-Klingon allies. But when some of those allies seek to bend this ceremony to their own political ends, where will the Torchbearers end up?

Doctor Noonian Soong ran out of time to perfect his androids; the temporal anomaly crisis has given him a second chance. With the benefit of being able to study Data, Lore, and B4’s development since his death, Doctor Soong has come to a startling conclusion: the physicality of an android is actually a hindrance to the development of an artificial lifeform. The true artificial lifeform isn’t bound by the limitations of a physical body, but moves at the speed of thought, more like a hologram. To that end, with the help of the Augments, Doctor Soong has begun experiments in creating a new artificial lifeform, a fusion of hologram and android. This has attracted attention from his “son”, Lore, who objects to the notion that androids like himself are flawed and has recruited the Romulans to his cause. Holograms and Androids alike who object to this research but do not trust Lore have found a champion in Winn Adami and the Bajorans, who argues that these new lifeforms are given sentience by the Prophets, not men.

Please note that the event will last 1 hour longer this time, as the US (and some other regions) switch off Daylight Saving Time on 11/05. The timer in-game will adapt but it is recommended to restart the game if you left it in the background when the switch occurred.
Squadrons: Y Crew Sharing: Y Faction Winner Bonus: Y
These exact event crew provide the best bonuses, but all versions of event crew + all crew with the Hologram trait, and all crew with the Android trait will provide some.
Event Factions
Bajorans, Romulans, Augments
Event Rewards are fully available in game and the shorter version will no longer be listed in these notes.

The crews of the Shenzhou and the Discovery have thus far been unable to shed much light on their own time, having been plucked from the beginning of their respective voyages. A younger Sarek arrives to warn Starfleet that the galactic politics of the era both ships hail from could spell disaster here in the present, where so many stand to profit from a return to the conflicts of the past. Intertwined plots are escalating conflict between the Federation, the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance, and the Klingon Empire. Unless you can unravel them, the Alpha Quadrant may soon be plunged into war.

The following crew will also provide some bonus during the event: All Dax variants (Jadzia and Ezri, including Mirror Ezri and Zhian'tara Odo) Ambassador Sarek Desert Philippa Georgiou Lieutenant Commander Saru First Officer Saru First Officer Burnham Captain Lorca Reinforcements Stamets Cadet Sylvia Tilly Lt. Ash Tyler

Upon arriving in the present, most of the Shenzhou and Discovery crew were lucky enough to find themselves still on their respective ships, but not all. Lieutenant Tyler and Cadet Tilly appeared on board an Orion slaver ship, and are now on their way to be sold in the Orion slaving market. As the first versions of themselves to have appeared in the present day, they are also expected to fetch a ridiculous sum. The Federation cannot afford to engage in a war with the Orion Syndicate over two Starfleet officers, but neither do they wish to see Tyler and Tilly sold beyond reach. It is up to you and a few all-too-willing factions to win Tyler and Tilly’s freedom at auction.
