• New Event Patrol: One Night in Bozeman
  • Included with the traditional model rocket building First Contact Day TFO, Captains will be able to participate in a brand-new patrol, “One Night in Bozeman”.
  • Access this limited-time content through the Event UI, or the Patrols Tab of the PvE UI.
  • The Borg have altered the timeline to ensure that they succeed in their previously-foiled plan to stop First Contact between Earth and Vulcan.
  • Team up with Seven-of-Nine and discover what The Borg have done to alter the timeline, and then do everything you can to correct it.

• First Contact Day Event Rewards:
  • First Contact Day Badge Box:
    • Completing either of the participating activities once per day, per account, will earn you a First Contact Day Badge Box.
    • Opening this box will grant players the opportunity to choose between 17 never-before-released Comm Badges as account-wide unlocks.

        • Inspired by Borg technology, this probe is capable of opening a dangerously unstable Temporal Vortex that can travel through local space to damage and debilitate enemy vessels in the area.
        • The drone will travel toward the targeted foe's current location, dragging the anomaly with it while emitting chroniton radiation in a large cone facing away from its trajectory.
        • This console also provides a passive boost to Exotic Damage and Cooldown Reduction for Temporal Operative Bridge Officer Abilities, as well as a scaling bonus to Turn Speed that scales with Auxiliary Power.
