Captains, you sent in a fantastic amount of entries for our First Contact Day Writing Contest – over 400 over them, in fact – and we’ve had a blast reading every single one of them. Thank you to everyone who entered the contest. We had so many great entries, and it’s amazing to know the backstories of so many of your Captains. The universe of Star Trek Online is more robust from all of the wonderful stories you bring to it every day.
