Over the next two weeks we’ll roll out new rewards for the Featured Episode “Survivor.” The first week rewards are the Romulan Operative Personal Shield and the Romulan Operative Combat Armor. In addition, the first completion of this mission on an account this week will grant a Featured Episode Weekly Reward Box. This box gives your choice of an Enhanced Universal Tech Upgrade or a Captain Specialization Point Box, which gives the character who opens it a Specialization Point. The Weekly Reward Box, Tech Upgrade, and Specialization Point Box are all Bound to Account, and may be freely traded between your characters. The Specialization Point Box requires the opening character to be level 50 or above.

This Romulan Operative equipment represents the best in ground based Romulan subterfuge techniques and gear. A person with these armaments could easily slip in and out of civilized life and move undetected for years. Operatives were also exceptional at gaining tactical advantage on an opponent, often not being detected until it was too late.

The Romulan Operative Personal Shield and Romulan Operative Combat Armor count towards the Furtive Perseverance set. Collect and equip pieces from this set to unlock powerful set bonuses:
