    Huh, I figured it'd drop on Thursday like previous Featured Episodes, rather than at the launch of the Season.

    Logic, you have failed me again.

    Anyway, sounds good. Rewards sound interesting and plentiful, too.

    They launch seasons on Tuesdays, gives them more time in the week to fix any problems.

    Edit: Are these FE rewards time-limited?

    Looking forward to the continuation of the story! Sound like some nice rewards too, look forward to seeing more details about those.
    Join date is wrong, I've actually been around since STO Beta.
    True alters don't have a "main". Account wide unlocks for all unique event rewards!!

    Will there be a limited time reward or will all rewards be available indefinitely?

    So. To Ms. Kate Bankson, STO content designer:

    Thank you.

    From the deepest, darkest bowels of my corrupt, greedy, slightly misanthropic Communist heart, THANK YOU!!!!!

    I can't wait to try the new FE, and I am so definitely writing a story in Ten Forward about it...

    (in character as Grand Vizier worffan101)

    Please, enjoy the pleasure palace in the Bahamas that I have set aside for you! Harem selection is at the gate. The Jaffa soldier minions live to serve you. The Death Glider scout ship (with weapons, space capability, and cloaking device) is yours free, insurance and fuel cells already paid for. The palace comes with a dedicated chappa'ai (Stargate), and effective rank of Supreme High Empress.

    Hail Ba'al!!!

    Political intrigue? In MY STO?

    It's more likely than you think. Color me excited!

    The episode is really cool. It showcases a lot of the political tension and complications that could potentially be the Federation, KDF, and Romulan Republic's downfall. The Undine threat is real, Captains.

    I mean, I've wanted an episode like this ever since I started playing.

    Star trek Online's idea of political intrigue is a whole bunch of nonsense mashed together to the point that the player is so confused they think it's part of some master scheme.:P

    I don't even know where the Klingons and Federation stand they're supposedly at war and yet they're not.:confused:
    The Lobi Crystals are Faaaakkkkee!

    Do we get Tuvok and Worf working together? :D

    Worf: Admiral.

    Tuvok: Ambassador.

    Admit it, the Undine are just pawns of the Pakleds...

    I don't understand, are you inferring that Tuvok is some kind of shepard to the various Factions and that Worf just wrecks everything up?

    I always look forward to content that's something other than just more pew-pew.
    For personal reasons, I've left Star Trek Online.

    No, the implication is that Worf+Tuvok together with VOs would cause every bad guy within 50 miles in-game to spontaneously explode from the pure awesomeness.

    Not being over-the-top in this case; I've wanted an end to the Fed-KDF war since I started STO.

    And the potential for multiple voiceovers is AWESOME.

    Will this Feature Episode allow us to play as a team? The last couple of FEs were restricted to single player and it is some times fun to run a mission with a friend.

    So the only FE bonus this episode is getting is the ability for characters under 50 to play it?

    Do you ever have nightmares...
    where you're trapped in a dark, damp maze...
    lights flickering...
    cliche creepy sounds...
    the feeling that somebody's chasing you...
    you know that something's behind you...
    that it's caught up to you...
    you hear the voice whispering, "Kurland here..."
    and wake up screaming?

    Some of us do. :P
