As Star Trek Online celebrates its 12th Anniversary, we will be following our long-standing tradition of allowing players the opportunity to earn a free starship by participating in our Anniversary Event.

And in following a more recently-established tradition, this year’s starship will represent the next in a line of breathtaking vessels we have designed as products of the in-world Alliance, represented primarily by the Federation, Klingon Empire, and Romulan Republic. The latest in the line of Alliance starships will be available to players of all factions upon completion of the Anniversary Event – the Jarok Alliance Carrier [T6].

Earning the ship will require completing any of the various activities available through the Anniversary Event each day, and gathering enough Daily Progress to fulfill the Event’s overall quota. Players may participate in any of the available activities to earn their Daily Progress once per day, per account.

Once you have earned sufficient Daily Progress, you may claim this Starship for your entire account. Just open the Event Reclaim Store to claim an Jarok Alliance Carrier [T6] for each captain on your account.

Jarok Alliance Carrier (T6)

The Jarok Alliance Carrier represents the latest in the Alliance shipyards' attempts to marry the distinct styles of design and engineering from its primary member factions. The results of this particular design project - led primarily by Romulan Republic engineers - speak for themselves in terms of the role the ship is intended to play in the Alliance's fleets. Its surprising mobility, enormous sensor arrays, and massive hangar capacity place it squarely into a role as a mobile research station - a vessel that is equally capable of leading defensive fleets from the forefront, and of supporting scientific pursuits and dangerous exploration missions.

This ship features an Ensign Science / Command Specialist Bridge Officer Seat, and a Lt. Commander Universal / Temporal Operative Specialist Bridge Officer Seat.

Console – Universal – Sensor Suspension Burst

This sophisticated suite of sensor bafflers is meant to mask the energy signature of smaller vessels across a wide expanse of the battlefield. Activation will cause all hangar pets and other summoned allies to be untargetable by enemies within 10km of them, allowing them ample opportunity to line up critical hits on unprotected components. The initial burst of this activation also includes coordination protocols that will immediately reset the hangar bay launch cooldowns of your own vessel and other allied starships with hangar bays.

This console also provides a passive bonus to Critical Hit Chance and Auxiliary Subsystem Power.

This Console Mod can be equipped on any starship, and can be fit in any console slot. You may only equip one of these mods on any single ship.

Starship Trait – Backup Shield Batteries

Activating any Shield Drain or Energy Drain Bridge Officer ability will add a Charge to your starship, up to a maximum of once per 15 seconds. Whenever a Shield Facing is depleted, it will immediately be restored to full capacity, and consume one Charge. Each Charge has no maximum duration, but only four Charges may be stored.


Alliance Fighter Squadrons (Hangar Pets)

These agile vessels are specially designed to work in small strike groups, designed primarily for focused takedowns of high-value targets.

They are capable of being used on any vessel with a Hangar Bay, but may only be obtained if you have completed the 12th Anniversary Event, and claimed the Jarok Alliance Carrier [T6].

One could say that the pets have been put together with being the ideal Torp Build Pet with no Torp on them to steal DPS

[Taku]

2 things:

Antiproton pets! ! !
Cloaking device (Alliance Cloak, NOT Romulan Battle Cloak, dagnabbit)

[Stryker]

I would have maybe chosen a different name. Didn't "Admiral Jarok" defect from the Romulan Empire? Also, Starfleet declared him an "unreliable source of information", then he committed suicide. TNG ep "The Defector"... seems to me they would have chosen maybe a better suited name a ship of the Alliance... idk...

[Heyallo]

He tried to do the right thing for Peace between the Empire and the Federation, even though the Tal' Shiar did him dirty.

I have no problem seeing a Fed/Rom ship named after him

[ForTheGamer]

Can't wait to get this sexy ship. Like honestly, I love the design of it.

Oh and that Squadron ship should be made into the T6 Aquarius, please and thanks. Or the Callisto. Either or.

In STO canon, Commander Jarok of the Romulan flagship R.R.W. Lleiset is the daughter of the defector admiral in that episode. I think the TNG episode made a vague reference to him having a daughter and the STO team fleshed that idea out into the in-game character. Thus, it is hard to know if the ship is intended to honor the TNG character, the STO character, or they randomly recycled the name.

[Sorotia]

It's a nice ship, my one gripe (or well two since science carriers are still inferior) is that being a joint Romulan design that it doesn't have battle cloak

[T'Tan]

The looks are very nice. The pets will come very handy for my AP tank build.

If it would have a SecDef this would be an amazing platform. Also, Ensign Command is a wasted spec seat.

[Sul-Matuul]

Looks nice but I doubt i'd ever fly it. A bit too lacking in Tac options and carriers always feel very meh in this game what with how the pets don't ever seem to do what you ask of them.

Free still free; you're still gonna grab it right for alt-toons ?

[JByb04]

Might pick it up just for the trait, along with the admiralty card, and then never fly it again.

Not really big on the whole "Khitomer Alliance" thing. I don't see the point of a joint military force sharing resources and technology on such a scale. We've seen the major powers combine their forces; when necessary, both in game and in canon, and I felt that was just fine.

Although, I can see it being STO's interpretation of the modern UN or NATO, and I can also see it as an excuse for the Dev's to do some major kit bashing.

But free is free.

For those struggling with the aesthetic of the new Jarok, just picture it as a typical Fed ship that parked on a D'Deridex. Found this on Reddit and it is hard to unsee....

Seen one the other day that joked that it had a saucer separation and the front pod should come away per the look of it
