Everybody needs shore leave sometimes, and that includes captains. Starting on July 2, the captains of Star Trek Online will be looking for a bit of summer relaxation during the Risian Lohlunat holiday. The campaign runs through August 15 and will be released simultaneously on PCS, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Captains will be able to take part in a number of activities including Powerboard Races, the Biathlon, Horga'hn Hunting, Scavenging with Sovak, and the big Dance Party. You can also earn familiar rewards like swimsuits, pretty cool baseball uniforms, impulsive floaters, vanity shields, food / drink items and Powerboards, and you can take part in all of the old favorite activities like floater races, building sandcastles, surfing, and so forth. During these events, players will earn vouchers that can be exchanged for tons of Summer Event Store items. 

This year's celebration includes the chance to exchange Lohlunat Prize Vouchers (2019) for the updated Risian corvette[T6]!  A detailed Dev Blog containing full stats and description for this speedy starship will be published separately, which will also include a brand new ship-related feature that we're excited to reveal. Don't blink or you might miss it!

As for other Risa activities, all of your old favorites from previous years will be returning, including Powerboard Races, the Biathlon, Horga'hn Hunting, Scavenging with Sovak, and of course the galaxy-famous Dance Party.

Also like previous years, we're loading up the Summer Event Store with new prizes for you to earn. All of the following new store offerings can be purchased using Lohlunat Favors, earned by participating in various events around the island. We're continuing the baseball theme introduced during last year's event, to offer new colorful variants of some of the prizes you've loved seeing during previous Summer Events.

Players may access the Event Store by completing the "Unlock the Summer Event Prize Vendor" Event Reputation project, then spend their Favors to purchase:

Costumes – Baseball Uniforms

Impulsive Floaters and Powerboards (Ground Devices)

Pick up yours today, themed after either the Bozeman Titans or Denebian Slime Devils!

Food and Drink Items

Historical records recently recovered from the time of the U.S.S. Discovery have indicated these recipes (some old, some new) are among some of the favorites of its revered crew.

• Blueberries
• Egg White Burrito
• Green Juice (Extra Green)
• Spumoni Ice Cream

Baseball (Ground Device)

Ever fancy a nice, casual game of catch? Pick up a genuine baseball today, and enjoy a little of the ol' back-and-forth with a friend. Spending time with a ball and glove can give you and your chosen partner a boost to morale that acts as a combat buff for some time. Also useful as a pre-game warm-up at the start of any ground-based Task Force Operation!

Audio Emotes (Space)

Four unique audio emotes can be unlocked for use on Starships, granting players a brand new way of expressing themselves to other nearby players. These old-timey audio simulations are styled after the organ music and other sounds heard at the ball parks of Earth before the days of interstellar travel.

• Charge!
• Warm Up
• Dixie Horn
• Old Ball Game
