• Rewards:
  • All players may complete the Battle at the Binary Stars FTFO in order to earn their Daily Progress once every 20 hours, in addition to TFO’s standard rewards.
  • Earn a total of 14 days’ worth of Daily Progress to become eligible to claim all of these rewards:
    • Universal Kit Module – DOT-7 Drone Fabrication (and Account-Wide Unlock for Reclaim).
    • DOT-7 Non-Combat Drone (and Account-Wide Unlock for Reclaim).

    • After claiming the Grand Prize, you will unlock the option of earning additional Dilithium Ore each day, beginning at 8,000 Dilithium Ore for the first day’s completion.
    • Earning Bonus Progress each day thereafter will increase this reward by an additional 1,000, and we have increased the cap on how high this value may scale to a value that is unreachable during this Event (thus effectively unlimited!).
    • All Bonus Progress Rewards are rewarded a maximum of once per day, per account, and are immediately and automatically granted to the active character when the requirement is met.
  • Zen Buyout Option:
    • For players interested in instantly completing the Battle at the Binary Stars FTFO event, we will be offering an updated method for buying out.
      • Within the new Event UI, an option will be presented that allows you to purchase the remaining progress that you need, for a scaling amount of Zen.
  • A Second Chance:
    • Progress after the Event has ended will remain in an all new Second Chance interface, allowing the option to buyout rewards long after the Event has expired.
• DOT-7 Drones:
  • Players that completed this Featured Event will be rewarded with two different methods of summoning their own DOT-7 Drones:
  • Universal Kit Module – DOT-7 Drone Fabrication:
    • This kit module fabricates a DOT-7 Utility Drone that will follow and assist you.
    • It will periodically attempt to cripple the damage resistance, damage output, and/or movement speed of nearby enemies by using Fuse Armor and/or Weapons Malfunction.
  • DOT-7 Non-Combat Drone (Vanity Pet):
    • This automated replica is only equipped with the most basic AI subroutines and should be incapable of causing issues even when exposed to hostile technology.
    • Obtaining these rewards on any character on your account will unlock the ability to reclaim each of them on other characters, via the Reclaim Store within the Events UI.
      • You may only reclaim this item on characters that do not already own one.
