Star Trek Online First Contact Day
March 30,
in the year of our Lord 2020 -- Star Trek Online is excited
to announce this year’s First Contact Day celebration for PC, Xbox
One and PlayStation®4!
April 5, 2063 is a special day in Star Trek history, as it marks the
first time humans made contact with the Vulcans. First made popular
in the Star Trek: Voyager episode, “Homestead,” this treasured
holiday is also commemorated by captains yearly in the free-to-play
MMORPG, Star Trek Online. The game’s First Contact Day celebration
takes place on PC from April 2-23 and on Xbox One and PlayStation®4
from April 9-30. During this time, players will participate in a
brand new patrol, launch their very own Phoenix rocket and work
their way towards the ultimate prize – a Temporal Vortex Probe.
First Contact Day for Star Trek Online kicks off in Bozeman,
Montana, the same site where Zefram Cochrane launched the historic
Phoenix, the first Human warp-capable ship. Captains will travel
back to mid-21st century Earth to face The Borg, who seek to alter
the timeline to prevent first contact between humans and Vulcans. To
accomplish this, players will enlist the help of Seven-of-Nine,
voiced by Jeri Ryan from Star Trek: Voyager and Picard. Besides
protecting the timeline from The Borg in this new patrol, players
can also team up with four friends to build a replica of the
Phoenix. After scavenging the area for engines, hulls and stabilizer
parts, they will construct their own model and compete with other
teams to see who can reach the highest altitude. Rewards for
participating in these events include a First Contact Day bundle and
for those who reach 14 days of progress, a powerful Temporal Vortex
Probe which can travel through local space to debilitate enemy
vessels in the area.
