STO forum discussion is pointing to pre-load of S9.5 art resources (new uniforms, maybe crafting visuals). No real new content in this "season", apart from nerfing the crating system & deletion of exploration maps, so they are pushing it out early from all indications (why not? a P.O.S. doesn't need any real work, after all...).

The launch of Season 9.5 was posted today on the STO forums; it will come with tomorrow morning's maintenance at 10:00am PDT (just under 22 hours from this posting). Since no official release announcement was made (a Twitter text was posted by a player to the forum), the crafting overhaul is incomplete, and there are no new episodes, this will come as a real shock to many. Craptic must not be proud of their product if they did not give it the usual fanfare beforehand.
I am taking the chance tonite to close up the remaining crafting projects I was planning, because tomorrow none of them will be possible. Of course, the Summer Festival will also close at the same time, so anyone who has been running DOff missions for marks (birds & monkeys), tonite is the time to cash them out. I'm actually glad to see the end of the Summer event, since the server lag has been horrendous in the last couple of weeks...
