When you’re bravely charting the way ahead, you must always be prepared for whatever unfathomable weirdness or improbable danger awaits you around the proverbial bend. With this special edition Gemini LH86 you won’t have to take any unnecessary chances. The official Voyager finish was originally released to commemorate the quatercentenary of the Imperial Cartography Center, and though it may look flashy, the trusty LH86 remains a rugged, dependable sidearm. More than a match for whatever unknowable terrors lay in wait.
Imperator Subscribers
Imperator-level subscribers will receive the exclusive Pathfinder variant, along with the Voyager finish.
If you’re an active subscriber, these items will be added to your account on April 11th. More information about subscriptions can be found here!

…Each week we’ll roll out new rewards for the Featured Episode “The Renegade's Regret.” The second week’s rewards is a choice of two new personal traits – the new ground trait Watch Your Back, or the new space trait Redirected Armor Plating. In addition, the first completion of this mission on an account this week will grant a Featured Episode Weekly Reward Box. This box gives your choice of an Enhanced Universal Tech Upgrade or a Captain Specialization Point Box, which gives the character who opens it a Specialization Point. The Weekly Reward Box, Tech Upgrade, and Specialization Point Box are all Bound to Account, and may be freely traded between your characters. The Specialization Point Box requires the opening character to be level 60. These new personal traits were inspired by Tzenkethi armor technologies, and how effective they can be when applied properly. While slotted, the Watch

…Sometimes exploration of new ideas and new technologies leads to dark places. In Star Trek, we’ve seen many a cautionary tale about omniscient supercomputers, time travel, genetic manipulation, and telepathic oppression. The pursuit of knowledge isn’t always safe or pretty. Hearts and Minds is a mini-mission that explores the consequences of some unconventional research gone awry. This mission is a “story in one act,” so you can easily finish it in a quick play session, and it’s easy to complete it with any additional characters that you may have on your account – which is handy, because the mission offers a special reward. Since Hearts and Minds is a horror story, it will only be around for Friday the 13th, whenever that may fall on the calendar – and perhaps another sufficiently horrifying day that we might choose! Fortunately for the squeamish, Hearts and Minds is creepy, but not

To the youth of today, Caliban has always been a Vanduul system. They don’t remember it as home to millions of Humans, but only as a place where Vanduul harvesters chew through worlds we were forced to abandon. Still, everyone has heard the stories of the Fall of Caliban in 2884. The frantic planet-wide evacuation. The panic-stricken public making matters only worse. Events that so shocked the Empire, many will always remember where they were when they first heard the news of the system’s loss.
Almost overnight, 500 years of Human history was gone. Now, the lives of those who occupied Crion exist only in historical records and the memories of those few who survived. For many today, this one tragic moment defines the system, yet Caliban is so much more. Its vibrant and tumultuous history dates all the way back to . . . well, we don’t precisely know.

Hello,
I’d like to start this week’s blog post by thanking everyone, who shared their feedback in regards to our Alpha 3.1 release. With your help, we released a new client patch by the end of last week, implementing sought-after changes to insurance timers and the expedite fees. More info and the complete patch notes can be found here. Keep sharing your experience from the ‘Verse and let us know what you think in our feedback forum on Spectrum!
In the wake of last month’s backer survey, we also reworked our Roadmap. We condensed all mining-related tasks for 3.2 into one card, moved Salvaging, Refuel & Repair to 3.3, and added the top survey results for the upcoming release. While focusing on quality of life improvements and performance, we will continue to rework our roadmap as a living and breathing representation of the development process. So expect to see even more changes in the coming weeks. And
