"Thank you to all our commanders who have been with ASTROKINGS for three years. We hope you will continue to support ASTROKINGS, where adventure strategy and massive war unfold in this vast universe.
Thank you for your continuous support."
<How to Earn Points>
Earn event points by defeating the Gold Drifting Pirate or Hidden Pirate Base to obtain the 3rd Anniversary Token.
<Notes about the Hidden Bases>
Hidden Pirate Base is a rally-type of event content and consists of bases level 90 and 100.
When you defeat the goldern drifting pirates level 50, you can obtain a random summon item.
* Level 90 Hidden Pirate Base
The level 90 "Hidden Pirate Base" is relatively easy to attack compared to the level 100 'Deeply Hidden Pirate Base', but it is difficult to defeat even the commander who has cleared level 200 of the dimension rift, and a separate attack is required.
- Portable Quantum Radar Type A to Type D
* Level 100 Deeply Hidden Pirate Base
The level 100 "Deeply Hidden Pirate Base" is difficult to defeat alone, even for a commander who has cleared level 250 of the dimension rift, and even if you are not alone, you may need a separate attack.
- High-Performance Portable Quantum Radar Type A to Type F
※ Notes and cautions regarding the hidden pirate base
- The difficulty level is set so that it cannot be easily attacked, so even if the attack fails, the ship's half and full damage will occur significantly lower than the normal battle results.
- "Deeply Hidden Pirate Base" can only be summoned by defeating the existing summoned base. Please proceed with caution when summoning the base.
<Notes>
- To compete in the federation rankings, a certain number of points should be achieved.
- If you leave the Federation, all contributed points to the Federation will be lost.
- The ranking event is divided into 2 parts during the event period, and rewards are given according to the rank record at the end of each part.

Try growing the Eternal Tree!
"The unidentified great-rich who wields immense influence over the universe heard rumors of a tree from which to pray for eternity and took a deep interest in it.
Therefore, E.M.U.'s eternal tree research lab was commissioned to study the said eternal tree.
However, as a result of the research, only a clue has been given and the eternal tree has not yet fully grown.
As it fails to achieve the desired results, the leaders of E.M.U. have been informed that no further support will be provided.
It was called several times that this research would be successful if a little more research was carried out, but the extension of the research was refused.
This research, which is soon to be completed, cannot be destroyed like this, so we ask the help of our commanders.
Invest in our research.
If you got the eyes of a wise and well-known commander, you will understand the value of this research.
-Respectfully, E.M.U. affiliated Eternal Tree Research Lab"
