The entire Galaxy is going to Red Alert! Tomorrow, we’re launching a two week version of the Galactic Red Alert, with an additional reward: an Experimental Ship Upgrade Token! From 1/12 @ 8am PT (17:00 CET) – 1/26 @ 10am PT (19:00 CET), all of our Red Alert events will be returning at once on all platforms, as the Final Frontier is caught in a massive invasion on all sides. During this event, you’ll be able to play the following content:
Borg Red Alert
Elachi Red Alert
Tholian Red Alert
Tzenkethi Red Alert*
Nakuhl Red Alert
*Please note: As the only Red Alert with a fail condition, the Tzenkethi Red Alert will not grant daily bonus progress if you fail the TFO. The fail condition will likely be removed in future runs of this event.
In addition to their usual rewards, these Task Force Operations will also grant daily bonus progress. You’ll receive one Daily Progress each day for completing one Red Alert – doesn’t matter which one – on any character on your account. After you receive ten daily progress, you’ll be rewarded with a package containing the following, once per account:
An Ultimate Tech Upgrade
A Specialization Point
An Experimental Ship Upgrade Token
You can also purchase this Grand Prize on the events page, if you’d prefer. The price will be prorated as you earn Daily Progress, becoming cheaper the more you play.
If you earn, or purchase, the event’s Grand Prize, you can still complete Red Alerts to earn Bonus Progress. Completing a Red Alert TFO each day will grant a bonus amount of Dilithium Ore, beginning at 8,000 and increasing by 1,000 for each completion thereafter.
Red Alert Task Force Operations are available to Captains of level 50 or higher. Head out and defend the Galaxy, Captains! Go to Red Alert!

Well done, Cryptic!
I'm guessing if the event is operating for 2 weeks we'll need 10 participations completed.
I'll confess I usually only do the Borg & Tholian TFOs.
The blog quoted above states you need ten progress
This is perhaps the most obvious display of power creep in the game. The Tholian alert was sometimes a bit tricky if you waded in the middle of it. Now you just go up to the two capital ships, annihilate them, and mop up the stragglers.
I don't think that really matters since from what I have seen and heard players tend to do multiple RA runs per day when they are available anyway, so while only the first one counts for daily progress the players probably spend at least as long doing them in a day as they would for any of the other events they give that kind of stuff as prizes for.
"After you receive ten daily progress," I completely missed that part during my initial reading. I think the 2nd time I had cleaned my glasses.
I was on a break from STO, but I think I can spare 1 min a day to do this.
It will probably take you longer to load STO then it will to finish the Red Alert.
As far as I am aware, the only thing that console has that PC doesn't is Molar's Sword. Console is at least 3 months behind PC at this point, and it is progressively getting worse.
My original comment is moot now anyways because they changed the wording in the blog post, replacing "on all platforms" with "on PC".

Regardless of rewards, I miss also that big red alert button on bottom right corner of the screen.
I defiantly don't miss the button, I have more than enough UI clutter, but I do miss having the RAs available all the time.
I thought 8k dilithium was the starting amount after completion then it builds up to 25k dilithium to then repeat any times you complete it? At least that was the last event, usually if I place my mouse-pointer over rewards it will detail the dilithium payout table.
If I'm correct then YIKES you are getting hosed on the dilithium amounts if just 8k each time.
