We’re excited to announce that our latest Featured Episode “Broken Circle” is now live! Take the fight to the Iconians in this episode, with the help of legends such as Aron Eisenberg as Nog, Robert Duncan McNeill as Tom Paris and Jeri Ryan as Seven of Nine. The Iconians will know our fury!

Each week we’ll be rolling out an additional reward for the Featured Episode “Broken Circle.” Last week’s reward was the Antichroniton Infused Tetryon Full Auto Rifle. This week’s reward is the Reactive Armor Catalysts Pack. In addition, the first completion of “Broken Circle” on an account this week will grant a Featured Episode Weekly Reward box. The weekly reward box gives your choice of an Enhanced Universal Tech Upgrade or a Captain Specialization Point, which gives the character who opens the box 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.

The Reactive Armor Catalysts Pack contains 5 Reactive Armor Catalysts, which are a new consumable ship device. On use, the catalysts provide an emergency boost to your hull integrity, repairing hull damage while providing a layer of temporary hit points to absorb damage. Reactive Armor Catalysts share a recharge time with starship batteries, and benefit from the starship batteries and starship hull repair skills. Opening the pack for the first time will unlock the ability to craft additional catalysts via an Engineering R&D task.

Next week we’ll reveal week three’s reward for “Broken Circle.” Stay tuned!
