Beginning on February 25th, the Voth are returning in their City Ship, intent on revenge against the Alliance for their actions in the Solanae Dyson Sphere. In both the Sphere itself and in a daring assault on the massive City Ship, Alliance Captains are gearing up to defend the galaxy against this new incursion. With the Klingon Empire at war with itself, will the Alliance have the necessary strength to repel this Jurassic assault?

For three weeks, we’ll be running a special event in Star Trek Online called The Voth Advance. This Event will include multiple TFOs previously featured individually in a combined Featured Event that will allow players to choose their preferred test each day, while earning Daily Progress toward a new grand prize reward. Play The Breach to dive into a gargantuan ship, in a daring space assault. Or, participate on the defense of the Dyson Sphere when you Storm the Spire.

Participating in this Event will give all players the opportunity to win Molor’s Flaming Sword for their entire account! Keep reading for details on these items, how you can participate in the Event, and what additional prizes may be earned.
2021 Event Campaign

This Featured Event will be the first of a series of upcoming Events that will participate in the second installment of our multi-event system known as an Event Campaign. For the 2021 Event Campaign, a few changes have been made.

More Events!

The 2021 Event Campaign will span a total of FIVE separate Featured Events, spanning the majority of the upcoming year of PC releases. As a result of this increase in length, the requirements for receiving the Campaign Grand Prize have been increased from 2,800 Progress to 3.500 Progress.

More Prizes!

The Grand Prize for the 2021 Event Campaign will offer players a choice as to what they receive, between the three following options:

Option 1:

Any Infinity Promo or Infinity Lock Box T6 Ship
This ship will be a per character unlock.



Option 2:

1,500 Lobi Crystals
Once per account, on the character you claim them with.



Option 3:

Two 100% off Coupons for Tier 6 Ships in the Zen Store
Once per account, tradeable between your characters.



This choice is only made once per Account, upon claiming the prize.

The core gameplay of this Event Campaign remains the same as the previous one: Participate in multiple Events scheduled over the next several months, to earn progress towards an extremely valuable prize. All of the following aspects of this system remain unchanged:

Players may earn 50 Event Campaign Progress for each day they participate in an eligible event.
Buying out an eligible event will include up to 700 Event Campaign Progress.
Each event’s buyout only grants as much Event Campaign Progress as is relative to the amount paid, after pro-rated discounts are applied. This means that paying half price, (because you participated in 7 out of 14 of the required days so far) will grant you 350 Event Campaign Progress. Essentially, you get what you pay for.

Rewards

Earn a total of 14 days’ worth of Daily Progress to become eligible to claim all of these rewards:

Molor’s Flaming Sword (and Account-Wide Unlock for Reclaim)
25,000 Dilithium Ore (once only)
3x Featured TFO Reward Boxes (once only)
Each gives a choice of 1x Specialization Point or an Enhanced Universal Tech Upgrade



Now, upon claiming this Grand Prize (whether earned or purchased), your account will immediately become eligible for Bonus Progress. The first Bonus Progress rewarded will be accompanied by a reward of 8,000 Dilithium Ore. Earning Bonus Progress each day thereafter will increase this reward by an additional 1,000, and we have increased the cap on how high this value may scale to a value that is unreachable during this Event (thus effectively unlimited!).

The following table shows an example of how Bonus Progress Rewards are now laid out:

# of Bonus Days


Dilithium Ore Rewarded

1


8,000

2


9,000

3


10,000

4


11,000

5


12,000

(etc.)


(etc.)



All Bonus Progress Rewards are rewarded a maximum of once per day, per account, and are immediately and automatically granted to the active character when the requirement is met.
Molor’s Flaming Sword

Molor’s Flaming Sword is Molor’s signature weapon, carving enemies to bits and burning the pieces, as well as enabling the player to use his chain pull attack, dragging enemies into the fray.





Legacy Progress

This Featured Event will continue to honor Legacy Progress, the same as the last several previous Events.
Availability

Prevent the Voth from causing your own extinction on PC from February 25th, 2020 until March 18th, 2020. Players on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 can look forward to the release of this Featured Event, and the introduction of the 2021 Event Campaign, later this year.

Devs: What shall we do to entice the players this year?

Management: How about five 'events' that give out 3500 points at a maximum of 50 per day.

Devs: Umm, won't that alienate the players' good will?

Management: Meh, give 'em a lockbox ship of their choice and tell 'em to grind for 70 days, it'll be good for metrics and they'll practically thank us for the ship. Oh, and add a fiery Klingon sword too, it is the year of the Klingon, after all.

At this point I just end up buying out these featured events because I'm so tired of the constant grind with this game lol.

Looks like a cool reward and the end reward has some amazing options (still salty about the promo ship being per character xD) for people.

That is exactly why they do these things...to milk your wallet

That sums it up nicely tbh.

Tbf if they didn't add the buyout button people would probably start complaining that there isn't one, so why not gain money in the process I guess.

[Heyallo]

Eh, 15 minutes ish a day to do the TFO, not a bad grind and pretty easy, better off saving your cash

[Distant Knight]

Looking at this picture, I'm thinking of how cool it would be if they made the Voth Fortress ship into a fleet holding.

[kroonect]

Wait... Isn't this Molor's weapon only for Console player exclusive a few months ago or am I wrong?

[Emmy]

I hope that I will find the time to complete the events

[Palechimera]

you're not wrong it was a console exclusive reward in the best served cold TFO a few months back. PC players got the Nanopulse Targ as the reward, Cryptic did say at the time the sword would come to pc in a late event.

[Sul-Matuul]

The mission only takes 15 mins a day so hardly too much to ask. I probably spend that long doing exchange checking or fleet work.

I’d rather save my money for things I definitely can’t get with an easy daily task.

Yes, I agree. This one is easy and doable.

But it is only the beginning of another long grind tour. On the Plus side, at the end there is a D7 - the only high prized ship I currently want.

[Emmy]

I did not know it would only take 15 minutes- that's great

Depends on how good your team is but The Breach is a fairly quick mission and not the same as the longer "always-present" version in the TFO list.

Essentially just fly down the trench, meet at the entry point on the side, take out the sub-power core, take out the main power core and escape.
With a fast, cloaked ship you can have a single team member speed run through the trench part without dropping cloak or firing a shot and open the prompt for the whole team to skip to the entry point, that vastly speeds up the run.
Then in the sub-power core room, only shoot the core that DOES NOT have a question mark over it. All others are fake and damage you if you shoot them as well as wasting your time.

I reckon a good team could easily get this mission done in under 10mins; possibly faster.

Edit: I'm also writing a guide for the event mission to upload here tonight in my TFO guide thread. Hopefully that will help people out.
