Season Thirteen: Escalation was released on April 25th, 2017 on PC and June 6th, 2017 for Console. It continues the Lukari Storyline with the new episode Mirrors and Smoke. Additionally, it includes a Reputation centered around a new Competitive PvE/PvP gamemode, called War Games. Another feature of this Season is a large-scale Balancing effort.

Season Thirteen[ | ]

War Games[ | ]

Following the success of the Arena of Sompek training initiative, the Alliance has set up further exercises to prepare its captains for the oncoming challenges that await them. These new War Game scenarios will pit teams of captains against each other in trials of speed, strength, and ingenuity.

  • Core Assault is a space-based 5v5 scenario where both teams must solve a series of puzzles to reach the center of the Adelphous System space station. The first team to destroy the opposing Core Regulator will be the victors of the match.
  • Twin Tribulations is a space-based 5v5 Gauntlet-class War Game Scenario. In a Gauntlet-class Scenario, Captains will not be engaging in direct battle with the opposite team, but racing against them to solve puzzles and defeat enemies.
  • Binary Circuit is a ground-based 5v5 Gauntlet-class War Game Scenario. In a Gauntlet-class Scenario, Captains will not be engaging in direct battle with the opposite team, but racing against them to solve puzzles and defeat enemies.

Systems[ | ]

  • Balancing:
    • In an effort to make a more fun experience, Season 13 brings a large-scale Rebalancing for Space Combat.
  • Player Potential System
    • To ensure lower-end players aren't teamed with high-end players, a Player Potential matchmaking system is being introduced to PvP content. It will scale off several things, such as gear, specializations, and previous PvP queue performance.

Season 13.5[ | ]

Mid-season update released on July 18th, 2017 for PC and on September 7th, 2017 for Console. The main feature was the addition of the Endeavor System.

Missions[ | ]

  • New Featured Episode “Brushfire” will have players enter a secret prison in the Briar Patch, where the House of Torg holds their most hated prisoners. That can’t mean anything good for Martok, played by J.G. Hertzler, in his first role in Star Trek Online. You will join forces once again with Rodek, voiced by Tony Todd, on an epic Klingon adventure to rescue Martok and return him to the Alliance.

New Admiralty Campaign[ | ]

  • The Admiralty system was expanded with the addition of a new Ferengi Alliance campaign, focusing on Dilithium and Gold-Pressed Latinum.

Universal Endeavor[ | ]

  • Season 13.5 introduced the Endeavor System, which will issue a challenge for players to complete nearly every other day. You will be challenged to experience the depth and breadth of STO while earning exciting rewards with every endeavor you complete.
