Greetings Captains!  

The Lobi Crystal Consortium (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Quark Enterprises) has announced that they are no longer going to be offering the Herald Lockbox as in-game drops and rewards as of Wednesday, January 27^th, 2016. Now’s your opportunity to open one of these boxes for a chance at some spectacular prizes. For information on the Herald Lockbox and the items that you have a chance to win, check out our blog here!

In addition, for a limited time only, we are running a special Lock Box promotion!

We understand that, as a Free-to-Play game, some players may have only recently started playing Star Trek Online. This means that they may have missed out on many limited-time features that are no longer available for acquisition. In order to offer these players the opportunity to experience everything that the game has to offer, we plan to periodically run promotional events that will bring back these retired features. Our hope is that both newer players, and returning players that are leveling up new characters, will be able to take advantage of these promotions to get their hands on rewards that would otherwise be unobtainable.

And so, from Thursday, January 21^st, 2016 until Wednesday, January 27th, 2016, players will once again be able to find previously-retired Lockboxes dropping while playing content in Star Trek Online. This includes the:

Herald Lockbox
Year Of Hell Lockbox
Vaadwaur Lockbox
Delta Expedition Lockbox
Xindi Lockbox
Undine Lockbox
Hirogen Lockbox
Voth Lockbox
Elachi Lockbox
Tal Shiar Lockbox
Dominion Lockbox
Temporal Lockbox
Tholian Lockbox
Ferengi Lockbox
Cardassian Lockbox

In order to get your hands on these retired boxes, you need do nothing outside the ordinary – simply play the content you already enjoy experiencing in Star Trek Online. The chance to receive any of these Lockboxes is the same across the entirety of the game.
