The Iconian War was the most devastating event in the history of all four quadrants of our galaxy. An ancient, highly advanced, race, long thought extinct, rose from hiding and made war upon the universe. The only bright spot of the hard fought victory was its ability to bring the universe together – it is likely that, without the Iconian War, we wouldn’t have the Khitomer Alliance today. With that in mind, we are giving Captains on PC a chance to return to this war and experience it again – or for the first time – from May 2nd at 8am PT to May 23rd at 12pm PT.

The Demon Slayer Event will be the next part of our current Event Campaign, and will include the following three Task Force Operations:

• Herald Sphere
• Gateway to Gre'thor
• Brotherhood of the Sword

Rewards

Upon completing 14 days of progress in the Demon Slayer Event, players will receive the following, alongside 3 Featured TFO Reward Boxes, and 20,000 Dilithium (Note: The Featured TFO Boxes and Dilithium Ore are only rewarded once, to the first character on your account that claims the Grand Prize.):



Herald Defiler Mace

This massive energy-infused weapon has been seen wielded by the Herald Defilers. The weight and power of the weapon requires using it with two hands. Melee Critical Hits with this weapon deal additional Antiproton damage with each hit, and have a chance of pulling other nearby Foes closer to you. There is a brief cooldown on this effect.



Space Weapons:

Omni-Directional Herald Antiproton Beam Array and Wide Arc Herald Antiproton Dual Heavy Cannons

The Omni-Directional Herald Antiproton Beam Array offers a 360-degree firing arc, in addition to being able to utilize the standard functions of Beam Array weapons.

This weapon shares an equip limit with other crafted and weapon pack Omni-Directional Beams.

Beam Arrays are the most common and versatile weapons available. They fire a series of average damage beams across a wide arc. Energy weapons are equally effective against starship shields and hull. Herald Antiproton weapons have a chance to give you bonus damage for a short duration.

The Wide Arc Herald Antiproton Dual Heavy Cannons offer a wider 90-degree firing arc, in addition to being able to utilize the standard functions of Dual Heavy Cannon weapons.

Only one Wide Arc Dual Heavy Cannon may be equipped at a time.

Dual Heavy Cannons fire a quick, very high damage burst in a very narrow firing arc. Energy weapons are equally effective against starship shields and hull. Herald Antiproton weapons have a chance to give you bonus damage for a short duration.
Bonus Rewards

After claiming the Grand Prize, you will unlock the option of earning additional Dilithium Ore each day that you continue participating in the content associated with this event. Each day you earn the Daily Progress you will be automatically granted a bundle of Dilithium Ore.

This bonus reward will begin at 8,000 Dilithium Ore for the first day’s completion, then scale up with each subsequent bonus completion that you achieve. The more you play, the more you continue to earn!
Zen Buyout Option

For players interested in instantly completing this event – whether that is due to worries over finding the play time to complete it, or simply wanting to move immediately into earning Bonus Rewards – we will be offering a method for buying out.

Within the Event UI, an option will be presented that allows you to purchase the remaining progress that you need, for a scaling amount of Zen. The base price for this service will be 2,000 Zen, but every single Daily Progress that you earn will reduce that price on a percentage basis. Thus, if you have already earned 7 Daily Progress (half of the 14 required), this price will be reduced for you down to 1,000 Zen. The more you play, the cheaper the Buyout Option becomes, dynamically!
Event Campaign

This Featured Event will be the third of a series of upcoming Events that will participate in the latest installment of our multi-event system known as an Event Campaign. For 2024, we're changing things up a bit. You'll need to participate in six events in total in order to earn the Grand Prize. However, the Grand Prize is changing, as well. Instead of having to choose between a Tier 6 Infinity Promotional Ship of your choice, Two Free T6 Zen Store Coupons, or 1500 Lobi, you will receive all three. No more difficult choices, just get all of the rewards at once!

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.
Complete the entire campaign to unlock a Tier 6 Infinity Promotional Ship of your choice, Two Free T6 Zen Store Coupons, and 1500 Lobi.
