New Premium Crew: Venus!
*Obtain love, power and desire with an all new Premium Crew: Venus!
*As one might discern from her name and alluring aspect, Venus was built as a pleasure bot. However, during her instruction in the nature of human interaction, she became curious about the concept of love. Hence she investigated the matter via TALOS’ extensive information archives. *As a result of her research, Venus decided that meaningless coupling certainly wasn’t the way to achieve true love. So, following a heated argument with — and resigned sighs from — the engineers who built her, she became a romance bot instead. Her new directive: to travel human space and help people find fulfilling relationships.
*Get the first ever crew in Suns to have the same synergy as Anita, Svana, Gera Marl and Mr. Falyx — Venus’ Attack and Defense stats increase +5 for each active crew in the ship, regardless of their race, roles or attributes! So in a 40 crew slot ship, she will synergize with all 39 crew and even herself in the 40th slot.
*Venus has a chance to summon every non-unique crew member in the game — from free, limited offers to expedition crew. Even non-unique crew dropped exclusively from World Raids are also summoned.
*Venus’ attack and defense increases +2 for each different crew member owned, both unique and non-unique.
*Venus is race category Robot, with her role and attribute categorized as Any. For those interested, Anita will synergize with Venus due to her being a Robot.
*She can be purchased for 150 Suns, and will be available for this Limited Offer cycle (e.g.: two weeks).


Zone 17 – Playing With Fire (Part 1)
*Play through the ever expanding adventures of Suns in an all new mini-zone!
*Things heat up as a new character with a mysterious, pyrokinetic power makes an appearance! Meanwhile, an ominous organization continues with their own dark agenda as the Blue Wyrm Watches. And what will happen with the Captain? Find out today in an all new Zone 17!
*Zone 17 can be accessed after beating the second area of Zone 16 on normal.
*Zone 17 is a mini-zone, with 4 missions and 1 boss.
*There are no item requirements for this zone.
*The boss of this zone is category epic, organic humanoid, human and male.
*Please note that the 3 item pieces needed for other treasure hunts (Blue Dwarf Gloves, Vengeful Shadow Gloves and Thugby All-Star Brainbucket) are intended for the NM loot table, but are at a low drop rate; this is to give players another avenue to obtain these items should Suns be added into another server.
*The next zone will be scheduled for next month, as we focus on the exciting treasure hunt coming live next week!
