    “Admiral, the Steadfast is heading towards Federation space. Estimated trajectory would have them arrive at Izar in a little over two days.” “So, have they abandoned their mission?” Admiral Tzen-Tarrak asked. “Yes, sir. Their assigned systems are all returning positive scans. No Drantzuli purges have taken place in any of them.” “Have Commander Neth Parr assemble a team to intercept the Steadfast. Give her the prototype. And tell them not to let Captain Tzen-Crinnu’s noble blood slow them down,” The admiral practically spat out the traitorous captain’s name. “As of this moment, he is an enemy of the state, and will be dealt with as such. If I had my way, he’d be strapped to a protomatter bomb at the next Drantzuli purge.” “Y-yes, sir,” the startled adjutant replied. “I’ll let her know, Admiral - at once!” *** Commander Neth Parr flew to intercept the Steadfast

    The Infinity Lock Box was originally released approximately two years ago. During this time, it has proven itself as a player favorite among all of our Lock Boxes. In celebration of this popularity, we’ve decided to give the Infinity Lock Box an entire full-size run! This special Lock Box, containing prizes from nearly all previously-retired Lock Boxes, will be available again for a multi-week appearance beginning with the release of the Season 14.5 Update on April 3rd, 2018. During this time, enemies defeated on both Ground and Space maps will have a small chance of dropping one of these prize-filled packages, while the Discovery Lock Box will be retired. Prize Structure Changes We’re making some changes to the Infinity Lock Box prize tables in preparation for this full-length appearance. Our hope is that these changes will streamline the box’s contents a bit, and allow players to more

    In the fall of last year we saw the plans for the Tzenkethi laid bare, and in the winter of this year we saw the amazing scope and magnitude of the H’urq threat their crusade attempted to curtail. At the center of both of those encounters was a Tzenkethi named Neth Par, who defected against the Tzenkethi and helped assure an alliance victory…for now. In one of the most unique episodes in the history of STO, “The Renegade’s Regret,” you’ll be put in the shoes of Neth Par as she describes the history of the Tzenkethi Crusade from her perspective and what eventually led her to betray her own people. Captains will be revisiting worlds they saw in earlier episodes but from a new point of view, and witnessing the Tzenkethi genocide first hand.
