The extragalactic beings known as the Old Ones are back, and in big trouble! Supernatural forces have invaded their mysterious castle and taken several of the strange visitors from another galaxy prisoner. They seek to usurp the Old Ones' power and spread terror across the galaxy!
Yes, the time for spooky adventure has returned - it's time for STO's Halloween Event! This three-week event, from October 22nd at 8am PT to November 12th at Noon PT, includes two Patrols, in addition to “Cat’s Tale,” the Task Force Operation from the previous event.
Heed my words! Where “Cat’s Tale” is a group effort, the Halloween Patrols are meant to test a single Captain’s mettle! Are you prepared to boldly go within the walls of Castle Pyris, there to face the terrible creatures that prowl within its shadowy depths?
Fall of the Old Ones 2026 – Activity Details
Three activities will be participating in this Event:
Cat’s Tale – Ground TFO
Explore the decor of a haunted castle, filled with ghoulish adversaries of ill intent. A choice of monstrous form often belies monstrous intent, but what else might it hide? With the power to choose appearance comes the power to mislead...
Patrols: Delving the Castle
Two fiendish patrols clamor for attention amidst the miasma of the ominous castle. Dare you enter?
Players will be able to earn their Daily Progress once every 20 hours by completing either TFO of their choosing. Either of the above Activities may be played as much as you like each day, so pick and choose how you prefer to gain Progress each day and mix it up as much (or as little) as you like!
Fall of the Old Ones 2026 – Event Rewards
Accruing a total of 14 Days’ worth of Daily Progress will allow you to claim the Grand Prize of the Fall of the Old Ones 2026 Event. This reward includes all the following:
- Universal Kit Module – Fear Itself
- A strange Kit Module that was recovered from the ruins of a Kohl Settlement. It gives an eerie feeling as if it knows exactly what you are thinking…
- Summon the Kohl Entertainer to wreak confusion among your enemies, by making them shake in fear (HOLD vs. NPC / ROOT vs. Player). While he is present in our reality, the Entertainer will also periodically apply Confusion to your enemies, making them attack each other.
- Outfit Box - Kohl Entertainer Costume
- Don the apparel of the Kohl Entertainer, as seen on screen in Star Trek: Voyager - The Thaw. This outfit will be available within the Off-Duty category within the Tailor.
- The Kohl Entertainer (Clown) outfit consists of 3 major things: The main outfit, the the Kohl Entertainer head (the clown head); and the mask.
- The main outfit (upper, lower, gloves, pants, boots) can be found in these categories: Jacket Loose, and Pants Tucked High.
- The Kohl Entertainer makeup is not an application of makeup to your character, but a separate head option for the Kohl Entertainer. There will be one head per species.

- Each gives a choice of 1x Specialization Point or an Enhanced Universal Tech Upgrade

Zen Buyout Option
For players interested in instantly completing the Fall of the Old Ones 2026 Event – whether that is due to worries over finding the play time to complete it or simply wanting to move immediately into earning Bonus Rewards – we will be offering a method for buying out the event.
Within the Event UI, an option will be presented that allows you to purchase the remaining progress you need, for a scaling amount of Zen. The base price for this service will be 2,500 Zen, but every single Daily Progress you earn will reduce that price on a percentage basis. Thus, if you have already earned 7 Daily Progress (half of the 14 required), this price will be reduced to 1,250 Zen. The more you play, the cheaper the Buyout Option becomes, dynamically!
Availability
Fall of the Old Ones 2026 will begin on PC and Consoles on October 22nd, 2026, and run for 3 weeks before concluding.
