Es ist wieder soweit, Star Trek Online players are celebrating the first successful use of warp technology on Earth and the subsequent first meeting with the Vulcans. As is typical of the annual celebration, players of the free-to-play MMORPG must once again prevent the Borg from changing history. You can also take part in the recreation of the Synth attack on Mars. Participation in these and other events counts toward the event progress required to receive this year’s reward.

If you’re wondering what extras await you, players can earn a First Contact Day Badge Box and choose one of 17 Communication Badges. This is an account-wide activation. You will also receive a special device, the Phoenix toy rocket. This is part of a larger package.

Schließlich, the developers have a special price for everyone. A new Tier 6 version of the Nobel Intel Battlecruiser. This is the ship from when Star Trek Online first launched. Further details about the event and its rewards can be found on the Star Trek Online Steam page.
