These messages were sent via wormhole, but Starfleet scientists have managed to open the wormhole enough to send two starships through. They haven’t returned, and it’s up to your Captain to figure out the mystery of their fate. In the Shadow of MIDAS is a three part episode (And the third part isn't out yet -

UPDATE: This stream is now over, but you can watch the replay right here! It’s time for a return to the world of Star Trek Online…on the tabletop! A few months ago, the developers of Star Trek Online got together to play Star Trek Adventures, the roleplaying game from Modiphius, and you all enjoyed it enough that you asked for a second episode. We’re happy to announce that second episode is coming on February 27th at 6:00 PM PT! Last time, the crew of the U.S.S. Pathfinder were drawn into a conflict between the Kalkrit Supreme, a war like alien race (dubbed by chat the “Space Jerks,”) and the Hekteb Confederacy, a loose confederation of alien worlds.

The launch of Arc Quests in 2016 was met with great acclaim as players were given more opportunities to discover games and be rewarded for playing them. Completing quests through this feature allows players to increase their Arc Quests levels and Arc Points, which can be redeemed for in-game currency or Zen. Over the last two years Arc Quests has been active, we've gathered a ton of great feedback and suggestions from the community on some ways that it can be improved. In order to make continued upgrades to the Arc Quests system, we have temporarily disabled it on PC. Our team is working on rolling out a new, enhanced version that will function better for all of our Arc titles. As we get closer to its return on PC, we will share some of the exciting new features that will be available in the next iteration. Arc Points and Arc Levels will remain on your account, and you may still redeem any Points on

We’re very pleased to announce an upcoming expansion to the Captain Specialization system, in the form of an entirely new Secondary Specialization: Constable. This new Specialization will become available with the launch of Season 14.5, coming in just a few weeks! Overview Captains will soon be able to follow in the inspiring footsteps of the dedicated keepers of justice that do their part to make the Milky Way Galaxy a safer place to call home. Upholding the laws that keep modern societies functioning is a core tenet of most major spacefaring societies, giving rise to police and peacekeeping forces regardless of species or culture, with perhaps the most famous canonical reference being Deep Space Nine's shapeshifting constable - Odo. The Constable Specialization is a new take on Specializations. Unlike previous Specializations, which have been either entirely for Space or entirely for Ground, or
