This was part of a viral marketing ploy by Hard Light Productions community member Goober5000 to get people hyped about the 25 December 2008 release. Due to a larger than expected workload, the final prize was not ready in time, and instead participants were treated to an early release of ST:R. Many years later, in September 2017, the final prize was finished, and the Phoenix/162 story concluded with the release of Deneb III.
