Each week we’ll roll out new rewards for the Featured Episode “Survivor” Last week’s reward was the Romulan Operative Personal Shield and Romulan Operative Combat Armor. The final reward is the Polaron Covert-Ops Compression Pistol. In addition, the first completion of this mission on an account this week will grant a Featured Episode Weekly Reward Box. This box gives your choice of an Enhanced Universal Tech Upgrade or a Captain Specialization Point Box, which gives the character who opens it a Specialization Point. The Weekly Reward Box, Tech Upgrade, and Specialization Point Box are all Bound to Account, and may be freely traded between your characters. The Specialization Point Box requires the opening character to be level 50 or above.



The Polaron Covert-Ops Compression Pistol is a weapon of ingenuity. The schematics of a Polaron Compression Bolt Pistol were taken and adapted to Romulan subterfuge techniques. This resulted in the capability to fire lethally accurate shots in the hands of a trained marksman. In addition to these modifications the pistol has been linked with Romulan Operative armor and shield to deploy an active camouflage when in the heat of battle in order to protect the user from consistent exposed combat.

The Polaron Covert-Ops Compression Pistol is part of the Furtive Perseverance set. Collect additional pieces from this set to unlock powerful set bonuses:
