Quark has been studying Terran “Halloween” traditions and, in the true spirit of Trek or Treat, he’s invited Commanders to a little game of wit and hustle. He promises a prize worthy of your lobes: a supervised peek at his Latinum Floor Vault on Deep Space Nine. (Supervised by Quark, naturally.)

Over five days, you’ll tackle a sequence of daily challenges and collect clues hidden in plain sight. Team up, compare notes, and don’t be shy—this riddle is designed to bring the community together.

How It Works

Daily Play = Double Meta Progress

• Daily SMS (Halloween)
  
• Free Daily Claim: Quark’s Trek or Treat Stash
  (Quark may call it a “Trek or Treat Supply Cache” in his message—yes, it’s the same treat.)
  

Completing the daily SMS and doing your free daily claim both add progress to two metas that run in parallel:

• Individual Meta
  
• Alliance Meta
  

Leaderboards During the Series

• Regional ALB — Hostile Hunt: Defeat any hostiles (any type/level) for 10 points per hostile.
  
• Solo Leaderboard — Armada Damage: Earn points by dealing damage to any Armada target.
  

The Riddle: “Quark’s Klingon Word of the Day”

Each daily Halloween SMS long description includes one Klingon word from Quark.

Decipher the clues over the five days, then arrange them to form the promo code. Enter the code on the Promo Code Redemption page of the official STFC website to receive your reward. This reward is for everyone—you do not need to complete metas or SMS to redeem it. If someone solves it early, they can spread the word!

Quark’s Message (found in-game)

Commanders, Quark here. In the Terran spirit of “Halloween,” I’ve arranged an entirely legitimate game—quick bouts, sharp minds, generous treats. Keep the lanes clear and your wits sharper than your phasers; do that, and you’ll earn what few have seen: a supervised peek at my Latinum Floor Vault on Deep Space Nine. (Supervised by me, naturally.)

For five days, I’ll scatter a few clues around the quadrant. Complete my daily event, and feel free to help yourself to my Trek or Treat Supply Cache. One treat per person per day, I’m generous but not stupid.

Also, may hear me drop the odd Klingon phrase—purely the price of doing business with warriors. I wouldn’t fuss… though in commerce, it’s funny how many doors a proper greeting can open.

Discover the clues, and piece them together to solve the code to my floor safe. If you believe you have the lobes for business and know the answer, head to the Promo Code Redemption page on the official Star Trek Fleet Command Website, and earn your just rewards.
