Pre-Anniversary Giveaway Day 1: Polytrinic Acid Horta

Star Trek Online is turning 4 years old next week, and in preparation for the celebration, they're giving away a free C-Store item each day until the big event (starting on Thursday, 1/30/2014)!!! Each of these items are account unlockable and only available for free one day at a time so make sure to get them while you can

The first item up for grabs is the Polytrinic Acid Horta! This combat pet will burn its way through enemies on your command!

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.

More information can be found on this devblog. This item is only available until 10am PST January 28, 2014 so grab it while you can!

Summer C-Store giveaway!

Next week from August 12 to August 16, Star Trek Online is celebrating the end of the Summer Lohlunat Festival on Risa by having a C-Store giveaway!

Each day of this giveaway event at 10am Pacific Time, there will be a news article posted detailing what items are being given away as well as the eligibility requirements to claim these items! You have 24 hours until the next article is posted to claim your free items!
