Change Your Captain's Gender or Species!

It’s time to switch things up, Captains. When Star Trek Online: Unparalleled launches on PC on May 28^th, we’ll also be launching a brand new purchasable token: The Captain Alteration Token. This new feature will allow you to transform your Captain, changing their Species and/or Gender, while keeping all of your progress with that character. Did you want to make your character a species that wasn’t released when your first created them? Did you realize some important things about yourself, and now your Captain doesn’t fit who you are? Do you just want to play around with your faction’s possibilities? Then this token is for you.

A single token will cost 750 Zen, while a bundle of three will be 1500 Zen. These items will be purchasable in the Zen Store, and tradable on the exchange. They’ll also be 20% off from May 28^th at 8am PT to June 11th at 12pm PT. There are, however, a few things you should know about how they work.

• To use the token, a character must have completed the tutorial and picked a primary faction.
• You’ll see a new option in the tailor that reads “Change Species.” Once you have a token, click on that to start the process. The token will not be consumed until after you’ve finalized and confirmed your selections, so if you change your mind and back out, you’ll still have the token.
• The species list available to change to will be the same list that your faction has access to at character creation. (Including any species you may have unlocked with Zen Store purchases or in other ways.) You cannot use this token to make a Vulcan Dominion Captain, for example. This also applies to Discovery and TOS Captains – you’ll only be able to switch to the options available at character creation. For those two faction choices specifically, we may be able to open it to the full 2409 Federation options in the future, stay tuned.
• When you apply the token and change your character, the system will do its absolute best to carry over all of your saved costumes. However, there are certain costumes that are not available on all characters, and there may be errors. If the system can’t find a good way copy a costume, it will return to the default outfit. (Note: This is a permanent process, and there is no way to undo it. If you want to switch back to your previous gender/species, you will have to spend another token, and the costume matching process will proceed as if you had been the new species/gender.)
• Changing species will change your traits. If you chose to be an Alien for the extra trait, for example, and switch to a Vulcan, you will have the standard Vulcan traits instead. In order to facilitate species changes, your slotted Traits will be cleared when this token is applied.
• This token will not work on your Bridge Officers, just on your Captain.
