To celebrate our upcoming 4-year anniversary event (which starts this Thursday, 1/30), and to thank you for making 2013 the best year for Star Trek Online yet, we are excited to announce that we will be giving away FREE C-Store items this week! As we will feature something different each day, you won’t want to miss out!

Today’s FREE C-Store item is the Polytrinic Acid Horta Combat Pet!

The Polytrinic Acid Horta fed on various ores as it developed. Its silicate geology converted the metals into acids and salts, giving it more powerful acid attacks than a Horta Ally. However, it is not as resilient as other Hortas.

Note: This is a special version of the Horta Combat Pet in that it is an account-wide unlock, and reclaimable if dismissed. It is normally a single-character unlock that must be repurchased if dismissed, traded, etc.

To claim:

1. Log into the game on any character (any faction may claim this item)
2. Visit the in-game C-Store via the button on the minimap
3. Navigate to the ‘Personnel’ tab on the left
4. Scroll down to and click on the ‘Polytrinic Acid Horta’ item
5. Click the “Claim” button towards the bottom-right of the interface before the
NOTE: If you already have this item, you will be unable to claim it again. To ensure you obtain access to the account-wide version, make sure to claim the promotional Horta on a character that has not claimed it yet.

This FREE account-wide unlock must be claimed by tomorrow, Tuesday, January 28, 2014 at 10AM PST when it will revert to its normal price.

We hope you enjoy this promotion, and we thank each of you for your support of Star Trek Online.

See you in-game!
