As promised in the previous blog post, here is the blog describing the milestones and objectives that will be used in the 20th Anniversary Event starting on June 13th! This post will also share some more details on the time that things will happen in the event, and in what ways game systems will be changed.

There are only 4 Fractured Galaxies, they are available at the start of the event. They have PvP windows every single day.
There are fewer galaxies in Wild Space, and they will be fully revealed before the last day of the event.

Milestones

Featured in the 20th Anniversary Events are server wide milestones. These milestones are tracked by the server, and all players’ efforts contribute to the completion of these milestones. Depending on the number and type of milestones completed, the Liberty server will be granted extended bonus events! These are split up into different reward tracks, with more progress leading to better rewards!

Wild Space Domination

10 Galaxies are claimed by players – 1 week of the Halloween event will be applied to the server
50 Galaxies are claimed by players – 1 week of the Halloween and Easter events will be applied to the server
100 Galaxies are claimed by players – 1 week of the Halloween, Easter and Christmas events will be applied to the server

Clearing the Universe of Opposition

The following bonuses are additive with each other:

Roaming Red Night Fury is defeated by the players – Week long Bindomite & Aug event +25%
All Sas outposts are defeated by the players – Week long Bindomite & Aug event +25%
Cybernetic Gonzales and Angre the Spice Baron are defeated by the players – Week long Bindomite & Aug event +50%

Money is Up

Credits on all characters is above 100 bill when the event ends – 1 week of 10% extra credits dropped from AI on Liberty
Credits on all characters is above 500 bill when the event ends – 1 week of 50% extra credits dropped from AI on Liberty
Credits on all characters is above 3000 bill when the event ends – 1 week of 100% extra credits dropped from AI on Liberty

Note: Credits Spent or on stations do not count. They must be either inside your Storage or on your characters.

Put em’ All Together

Completing multiple milestones of various tiers will unlock a special reward. During the coming universe the Star Sonata Team will develop and release iconic ships from Star Sonata’s earlier days as modern ships! These will have up to date stats and super items. They will also have their own acquisition method and cost. Taking part in this event does not mean the ships are given to you, just that they will be developed and released into the game.

Complete one milestone from each category above – NCC Bulk (Support Freighter) and Ragnarok are developed and released
Complete two milestones from each category above – Gelato(Industrial Freighter) and Earthforce Battleship are developed and released
Complete ALL above milestones – Bulk Trader (Industrial Freighter) and Hotrod+ are developed and released

Individual and Team Goals

What’s an event without some fancy unique rewards! Players will be rewarded with a single copy of each reward per account. These items are neurobound, meaning they cannot be transferred to other accounts or sold on the market. Rewards will only be granted to accounts that earn them on the Event server, so if you want to receive the reward on a specific account on Liberty you must use earn the reward on that account on the Event server.

Individual Goals and Rewards

There are two individual rewards you can get for taking part in the 20th Anniversary Event:

Login to the Event server – Celebratory Zebucart Skin
Obtain Piloting 20 on at least one character on your account – Celebratory Holoprojector

Examples of these rewards will be added into the post at a later date.

Team Goals and Rewards

There are four total rewards you can get as a team! Keep in mind, this is the team that your account is on when the Event server closes, and has no relation to your team on the Liberty server. Having a single character on one of the holding teams of any of the Ai Empire HQs will make that account eligible to gain the reward. It is possible to get more then one of these!

Currently own Scorpius when the event ends – Cybernetic Hacker
Currently own Paradise when the event ends – Zaphragi Flurry
Own and hold Citadel until the event ends – Kalthi Cloak

Own and hold Dorado until the event ends – Celestial Pillar

These objectives are the main competition for this contest! They will be revealed near the end of the event, and they will only reveal one at a time.

Wrapping Up

And that’s the bulk of the details

Some small things to note:

The holoprojectors shown here will have versions of them obtainable on the Liberty server through various methods after the event, however those versions will not have the same color palette as what is shown here.
All of the bonuses for completing these milestones will activate starting 10 days after the following universe has started! Those dates would then be: July 8th 2025 to July 13th 2025.

The skins and holoprojectors will be provided to the players once the event has concluded, the holoprojectors have been added to the game and the list of players to reward to are tabulated. They should be all distributed within 14 days of the event being completed.

I, and the rest of the Star Sonata team, hope you enjoy this little celebration event!
