Several of Mariner’s outside pursuits all seem to collide when the Cerritos is seized and a voice broadcast shipwide informs the crew that, in order to earn their freedom, they’ll have to provide entertainment to some less than reputable viewers by surviving the invasion of the ship. As the Cerritos is boarded by mysterious assailants, it’s up to you to find out what’s going on and rescue the crew of the Cerritos!

Fleet Boss Battles We heard your feedback regarding the need to limit the ability to start a battle to only Admirals and Officers. This is something we hope to be able to implement for our 9.2.0 client, likewise for the request to see who started a battle.
Regarding our upcoming 9.1.0, we’ll soon have a better idea as to when it will be released.
On top of the buff feature that we previously announced, 9.1.0 should contain fixes and improvements for various issues such as: - Incorrectly grayed out traits - Results screen not being shown to all participants - Removing the ability to start a battle without crew
Our next campaign, “Reach for the Stars”, will feature Kaminar Saru 4 *, Lt. JG Palmer 5*, and the brand new EV Suit Mariner 5*!

“Kaminar Saru '' is in 2 collections: ‘Spit and Bailing Wire' (jury rigger trait), and ‘The Daystrom Award’ (innovator trait)
“EV Suit Mariner” will be in 3 collections: ‘A Little Stroll’, ‘Animated’, and ‘Original Thinking’ (resourceful trait).
This campaign will start on Tuesday, August 9 at 1am ET (5:00 UTC), and end on Tuesday, September 6 at 12:59am ET (Tuesday, September 6 at 04:59 UTC).
You have one week left to complete the “Coffee Nebula” campaign!
Don’t forget that campaign tiers can be unlocked with Dilithium at any time while the campaign is active. Tap on the “+” icon above the tier to purchase it, this can be helpful if you find yourself short on accolades while trying to unlock all tiers before the campaign ends.
Regarding the Pet People collection and the addition of a new tier: the collection currently features only 16 crew but this will change with the upcoming release of ‘Tendi and the Dog’ as part of this month's Mega-Event.
The USS Cerritos has been off-course for several days. When someone finally answers a hail, it’s Vindicta in the captain’s chair.

With this week’s server release the following changes have been implemented:
- the list of potential traits for any Fleet Boss Battles is now temporarily limited to a maximum of 18 instead of 24. This to ensure that the full list of traits will always show on any platform. Once the interface issue is fixed, we’ll resume using a potential of 24 traits for Fleet Boss Battles.
- Personal Damage Threshold: less personal damage is now required to reach the first threshold, this should allow for more participants to be eligible for Personal and Destruction rewards.
- Bridge Bonuses: fixed an issue with the Antimatter Bonus.
- Bridge Level 1 Rewards: the Super Rare Behold now shows the correct icon and description.
- Gorn Raider now has a new and improved description.
- Boogeyman Event Rules are more precise regarding the variants of Number One, which include Una.
A restart might be required to see the changes.
We thank you for all the feedback that you’ve provided us so far for Fleet Boss Battles! As often is the case when a new feature is added, we’re currently experiencing delays in answering player support requests due to a high load of tickets. The whole team is working as fast as possible to reply to everyone and get back to quicker response times. Thank you for your patience.
