The STO team has re-shared this in light of Tony Todd's passing:

>When Tony recorded with us, he was kind enough to sit down and do an interview about his career. That's what we'll always remember about him, his kindness. Tony could terrify you and make you cry in the same scene, but the man himself was a joy. RIP.

I'm just wondering if there are any theories as to what's going on with the Aetherians.

It seems pretty obvious that there's a shoe yet to drop, but what is it?

My personal theory is that they themselves are a multiversal Borg variant, at war with all the others.

Starting today and running until October 1st at 12pm PT, you can log in to the Promotions Tab of the Zen Store and claim two new Lower Decks inspired cosmetic items, the Vulcan Visor and the Vulcan Bob Hairdo!

We picked up some good deals from the promotion this week.

Console – Universal – Nova Fleet Recruitment Drive

> ... This device emits a beam which was initially thought to be capable of destroying ships. In truth, it broadcasts a message manipulating low-ranking members of a ship's crew and forces them to mutiny. The chaos and destruction that ensues can range from Bridge Officers seeing their abilities delayed to ships temporarily defecting.

Experimental Weapon – Nova Starburst

> This weapon uses a plasma canister as a projectile, this weapons creates a dangerous cloud that deals damage over time to anyone inside it. After a few seconds the plasma is ignited creating an explosion on an area several times bigger than the initial plasma cloud.

Starship Trait – Bold Piloting

> ... One such case involved tampering with standard engine boosting protocols to achieve greater maximum speed. This let him deal damage to other ships and partially bypass shields by grazing during hot pursuits. Due to stress applied to engine subsystems, Locarno's special move could only be used sparingly....
