 * Temporarily removed from “Random TFO” selection.
 * Normal, Advanced, and Elite versions all offer Event Daily Progress upon first completion, once per day per account.
 * Players must have completed their faction’s Tutorial, and chosen a primary Allegiance (if applicable) before being able to participate in the Event version of this content. Advanced and Elite versions also have level requirements of 50 and 60, respectively.
 * Rewards:
 * All players may complete the Battle at the Binary Stars FTFO in order to earn their Daily Progress once every 20 hours, in addition to TFO’s standard rewards.
 * Earn a total of 14 days’ worth of Daily Progress to become eligible to claim all of these rewards:
 * Universal Kit Module – DOT-7 Drone Fabrication (and Account-Wide Unlock for Reclaim).
 * DOT-7 Non-Combat Drone (and Account-Wide Unlock for Reclaim).
 * 25,000 Dilithium Ore (once only).
 * 3x Featured TFO Reward Boxes (once only).
 * Each gives a choice of 1x Specialization Point or an Enhanced Universal Tech Upgrade.
 * Bonus Rewards:
 * After claiming the Grand Prize, you will unlock the option of earning additional Dilithium Ore each day, beginning at 8,000 Dilithium Ore for the first day’s completion.
 * Earning Bonus Progress each day thereafter will increase this reward by an additional 1,000, and we have increased the cap on how high this value may scale to a value that is unreachable during this Event (thus effectively unlimited!).
 * All Bonus Progress Rewards are rewarded a maximum of once per day, per account, and are immediately and automatically granted to the active character when the requirement is met.
 * Zen Buyout Option:
 * For players interested in instantly completing the Battle at the Binary Stars FTFO event, we will be offering an updated method for buying out.
 * Within the new Event UI, an option will be presented that allows you to purchase the remaining progress that you need, for a scaling amount of Zen.
 * A Second Chance:
 * Progress after the Event has ended will remain in an all new Second Chance interface, allowing the option to buyout rewards long after the Event has expired.
 * DOT-7 Drones:
 * Players that completed this Featured Event will be rewarded with two different methods of summoning their own DOT-7 Drones:
 * Universal Kit Module – DOT-7 Drone Fabrication:
 * This kit module fabricates a DOT-7 Utility Drone that will follow and assist you.
 * It will periodically attempt to cripple the damage resistance, damage output, and/or movement speed of nearby enemies by using Fuse Armor and/or Weapons Malfunction.
 * DOT-7 Non-Combat Drone (Vanity Pet):
 * This automated replica is only equipped with the most basic AI subroutines and should be incapable of causing issues even when exposed to hostile technology.
 * Obtaining these rewards on any character on your account will unlock the ability to reclaim each of them on other characters, via the Reclaim Store within the Events UI.
 * You may only reclaim this item on characters that do not already own one.
