Star Trek Online’s 16th Anniversary Episode Drops As Part Of The “Corruption” Update

Star Trek Online is celebrating its Sweet 16 the way only an online game can…with new content. The free-to-play MMORPG’s latest update, Corruption, is live on PC and slated to launch on consoles on March 10, bringing Nicole do Boer back to reprise her role as Captain Ezri Dax of the U.S.S. Aventine.

In the new episode, titled Curse of Phrygia, Dax summons players to the MIDAS Array to fight the Chimerans threatening the array – and subsequently the galaxy. This means that players will be taking on a new TFO – Belly of the Beast – and fight their way through waves of psionic beacons and the enemy reinforcements they’re calling in. To take back the array, they’ll also have to deal with the invasion once they’ve boarded.

In addition to the new Episode and TFO, the update also includes a new event with the same name as the update. Once again, players must deal with an infestation of Chimerans who have been sabotaging Alliance structures.

Another bit of new content in the update consists of a gift for players. If you’re looking to change your style, you have two new hairstyles to work with. And they’re free. The first is a pixie cut, obviously inspired by Dax. The other goes completely in the other direction with shaggy hair. There are several new items in the store as well.
