And last, but certainly not least, we must certainly discuss the Grand Prize of the Winter Event. Many hints and speculation have come forth over the past weeks that a new Starship will be made available to players alongside this year’s Winter Event, and I’m happy to officially confirm those rumors, as well as clarifying the methods by which players can get their hands on it.
Several Breen Chel Grett Warships, previously a ship exclusively owned and operated by the Breen Confederacy, have found their way into the hands of the entrepreneurial Ferengi that runs the Holiday Collectible store at Q’s Gazebo. And he is willing to part with these rare and impressive starships! But he asks a small favor in return.
Well… small, for a Ferengi.
You see, this particular Ferengi happens to be an eternally devoted fan to the Illustrious Q, and would do practically anything to get his hands on memorabilia to complete his collection of rare Q-related artifacts. Specifically, he is asking for one thousand (1,000) Autographed 8×10 Glossy Pictures of Q, in return for each Breen Warship.
And how would a Starship Captain like you manage to get your hands on these rare and valuable trinkets?
Each day you will be gifted with forty (40) Autographed 8×10 Glossy Pictures of Q upon completing the “Fastest Game on Ice” (the same race seen during last year’s Winter Event). This means that player captains that can participate in the event 25 times during the 35+ days that the Winter Event will be active, will have earned their way to a FREE Starship!
If, by some stroke of bad luck, you find yourself incapable of participating in the event the required number of times, this does not mean you’ll have missed your chance to earn the Breen Warship! The Lobi Crystal Consortium is selling “Q’s Appreciation Package” for just 5 Lobi Crystal, which will contain 2-6 of his sought-after Autographs. Although this is a large investment in Lobi Crystals for players seeking to purchase the ship outright, remember that the price can be significantly reduced by simply running the “Fastest Game on Ice” on a daily basis.
The full stats and abilities associated with the Breen Chel Grett Warship will be publicized in tomorrow’s Dev Blog, so keep an eye on StarTrekOnline.com for more information!

So far, it’s an hybrid between a cruiser and an escort, with some better science in the mix. This thing can fit Cannons so basically you got 1 more turret than a standard escort with the benefit of 2 Power to Shield BOFF capa. I think this thing can beat easily any standard T5 Escort, and is on par with T5+ escort.
So it’s nice to be able to get it from free. I wonder about the Console tho.
at first i had no interest at all in this ship. just another event to grind…..but, as i read about this breen ship it sounds too good to be true, so i’m thinking i must be missing something. or am i?
i also can’t help but wonder would there be a chance the breen set would be upgradable later?? still saving those babies just in case. and i used that set only long enough to realize you die fast doing so.
i have drawn the line on number of ships that i will have so something would have to go to make room. i have 3 oddys that i barely use anymore, so maybe one of those?
i consider the atrox and tholian web ship my weakest. i could always get the atrox back, but what to do with my great hangar ships then?? i guess i have time to think about it.
The Breen ship seems pretty darn awesome. Same damage potential as an escort, with HP of a cruiser and turn rate of a sci ship.
I don’t think it’s on par with the Jem Hadar Attack ship, but nothing really is.
from what i see in the winter wonderland i’m thinking about everyone in the 44th will have a breen ship. 😀
