Star Trek Online's famous non-playable character, Q, will once again be holding his annual holiday event. Access will be granted to all characters on Earth Spacedock, Qo'nos, and New Romulus Command - as long as they over level 10. Phasers and disruptors will not be allowed at the event, with snowballs and snowball projecticle weapons are allowed.
The cross-faction player-versus-environment event, "Winter Invasion," will be the premier activity of the event, supplemented by a pie-eating contest and the following returning events:
- “The Fast and the Flurrious”, the competitive race that rewards Epohh tags to breed special winter Epohhs that can be kept as non-combat pets, or turned in for Marks of your choice.
- “The Fastest Game on Ice”, the race that grants you those coveted glossy pictures of Q to redeem for a new starship.
- Fight the snowmen that Q brings to life to win holiday commodities.
- Find hidden accolades around the map.
Additional information pertaining to the event's prizes, secret or otherwise, will be posted tomorrow on the developer's blog.
