"U.S.S. Voyager - J. That's, what, ten geneations of evolution?"

"Eleven. I'd love to here those stories."

-Silvia Tilly/Joann Owosekun, Star Trek: Discovery

Now those stories will be yours to tell. From March 4th at 8am PT (17:00 CET) to March 25th at 10am PT (18:00 CET), we are running a promotion that will provide an additional bonus when opening a Research and Development Pack or a Duty Officer Pack. These packs will have a chance to open into a rare Tier 6 Ship, including the Janeway class that first appeared in Star Trek: Disovery! From March 4th at 8am PT (17:00 CET) to March 8th at 10am PT (19:00 CET), all of these packs will be 20% off!

When you purchase a Research and Development Pack or a Duty Officer Pack from the C-Store during this promotion and open it, you will receive either 10 Lobi Crystals or a Special Requisition Choice Pack - Tier 6 Promotional Ship Choice Pack in addition to the Research and Development Pack or Duty Officer Pack.

We are excited to announce a new addition to this Promotional Ship Pack: The Janeway Class Command Science Vessel! This ship was one of the first 32nd Century Federation ships encountered by the crew of the U.S.S. Discovery.

Janeway Class Command Science Vessel

In a distant future timeline, Federation starships have undergone a number of interesting evolutions of both technology and aesthetics. Some still reflect elements of their original lineage though, as is true with the Janeway-class Command Science Vessel. Drawing its original inspiration from the Intrepid-class starships of the late-24th century, this ship has been updated to focus on speed and maneuverability in local space, without sacrificing its scientific capabilities. Unlike classic science vessels, this ship focuses its power output on hull integrity rather than shield capacity, and has also been specifically outfitted to serve as a fleet command vessel.

This starship features a Commander Science / Command Specialist Bridge Officer seat and a Lieutenant Universal / Miracle Worker Specialist Bridge Officer seat.

Command ships are impressive vessels designed to inspire those around them. When the Command ship or its teammates activate a Bridge Officer ability, all Command Ships on the team will receive a small amount of the Inspiration resource. Command Bridge Officer abilities generate additional Inspiration. Once a Command ship's Inspiration meter is full they can use one of three powerful abilities that can turn the tide of battle.

Console - Universal - Photonic Cannon

This weaponry was originally theorized in the late-24th century as an ingenious way to utilize photonic/holographic technology, but application of those theories only came to fruition with the introduction of programmable matter. Now that it has been realized, starships with both capabilities may rapidly deploy this technology while in the field. Deployment includes a sensor-masking suite that acts as a defensive countermeasture for the ship, while simultaneously creating an additional source of firepower to soften up any enemy starships unfortunate enough to be lingering in your ship's forward arc.
Starship Trait - Enhanced Cloaking Integration

Your ship's systems have been tuned to grant additional benefits when entering and exiting cloak. Entering cloak will restore Hull over time and boost maneuverability, while exiting will grant a burst of Firing Cycle Haste for all ship weaponry. This works with any cloaking device variant.
32nd Century Phaser Weapons

32nd Century Phaser space weapons have a chance to recover the recharge time of Bridge Officer Abilities, providing an upfront burst of recovery and accelerating the recharge for a significant duration thereafter. Repeated triggers of this effect provide the upfront burst again and refresh the duration of the over time bonus. The versions of these weapons that come with the Voyager J will not be upgradeable, but these weapons will be available elsewhere in the future.

In addition to this new starship, opening this Special Requisition Choice Pack - Tier 6 Promotional Ship Choice Pack will give the recipient a choice of any Tier 6 ship found in any previous Research & Development or Duty Officer Promotional Pack.

The player fortunate enough to win this ship pack will be presented with a choice of claiming a package containing this exciting new starship, or any one of the following ships:

Note: Only newly purchased Research and Development or Duty Officer Packs packs will offer the chance to win the Special Requisition Choice Pack - Tier 6 Promotional Ship Choice Pack during this promotional event. Packs purchased before or after the event will not offer bonus Lobi or the Special Requisition Choice Pack - Tier 6 Promotional Ship Choice Pack. Packs purchased during the event, but opened after the event ends, will still benefit from this promotion’s bonus rewards.

Of course its a promo ship.

[Kerry Malone]

[Petrarch]

And yet it's specifically stated that time travel is outlawed and any technology that could permit has been destroyed by the 32nd century... so the ship is appearing in the 25th because? Oh yes, that's right:

[Chris Wilkinson]

I wonder if that will be a claimable ship as part of the current event? If so, I can imagine quite a few people going for it.

[ForTheGamer]

Inspiration, Battle Cloak, and a secondary deflector? That's just OP.

I'm looking at this thing with so much damned envy. Like, wow.

Edit: OMG, the seating. I didn't even pay attention to that. It has two LTCs of Tactical and Science? Oh hell. This is the best ship in the game. Hands down.

CORRECTION: THIS IS NOT THE BEST SHIP IN THE GAME. I apologize for the confusion on saying something so blatantly false. I have failed the community by saying it would be, with all the authority that I have on the subject (which is apparently something).

Nope they said only ships included prior to December 20 would be included

It won't. Anything released after 31/12/2020 isn't available as a choice from the event reward. Cynical side of me says this being the first promo ship the day after the event starts is probably Cryptic thinking people won't immediately realise that and it'll look good on their metrics.

[ForTheGamer]

This is why they did that. This is the best ship in STO right now. It isn't even close.

I just spotted that bit - given the price of these things, that seems *really* stupid but they're probably wanting them for a lockbox down the line.

The Janeway Class name is also odd, as CBS confirmed that the ship was a new Intrepid Class.

[Novalance]

I. Must. Have. It. that thing is Pure Trolling Gold!

[Solace]

I might pick this up with my event campaign reward other than that it doesn't really seem all that appealing xD
