The Xindi have been brought back into the fold, but the Sphere-Builders have made it clear that, as trans-dimensional beings, they will never understand the importance of family or the value of time as a mean of true advancement. The Federation’s only hope is to appeal to Etana Jol and convince her to switch sides and sabotage the Sphere-Builders’ plans from within.

The Sphere-Builders have swayed the Xindi to their cause, particularly the Insectoids, who bear much of the responsibility (and a lot of guilt) for the destruction of Xindus and the extinction of the Avians. The Xindi are willing to defy the Federation for the chance at a timeline where they were not party to genocide, and the Federation must work as a whole to convince the Xindi that standing together and learning from our mistakes will lead to a better future than selfishly chasing personal absolution.

Etana Jol has been revealed to be an agent of the Sphere-Builders, who have already altered the present timeline. While this timeline is, strangely, not so unfavorable for the Federation and several members of Starfleet, it has resulted in the disappearance of several family members and other loved ones who were previously recovered or thought safe from temporal displacement.

It has been a challenging year in the Alpha Quadrant. A new initiative from Starfleet Command has noted the importance of leave time for the well-being of its staff, so that personnel can relax and see their loved ones. This initiative has allowed many to take much needed time off, but it has left some factions concerned about the mass absence of a protective force and others seeing it as an opportunity. As strange vessels appear on the outskirts of the Quadrant, anxieties intensify.

On November 13, we announced the addition of new threshold rewards for Faction events. Starting with the upcoming Galaxy Event, we will be adding additional threshold rewards for all future event types. As always, event rewards will be visible in-game as soon as the event announcement goes live, so make sure to check them out!
There was a slight miscommunication regarding what the new threshold rewards would be for hybrid Faction/Galaxy events, they will not be identical to the newly added threshold rewards for full faction events. We apologize for this mistake. For each threshold rewards revision we are taking into account the type of event and their specific VP structure, and as such the rewards will vary.
We will continue to assess how these changes perform and may make additional tweaks in the future.
