Based on info from Dev Blog #30: http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/6003273

POST #1 - INFO

As you made read in the Season 9.5 Dev Blog index - Odyssey uniforms are becoming free for all characters. The Odyssey Basic uniform is the current fleet uniform but will be given to all players immediately for free upon arrival of Season 9.5. Now, you might ask - "I bought the Odyssey fleet uniform for a lot of resources, what will I get?". Well I'm glad you asked because buying the Odyssey uniform has paid off. You will receive the Dress and Tactical for free on the launch of Season 9.5, from the Fleet Tailor Store. For those who did not purchase the Odyssey uniform they will be sold at the Fleet tailor albeit for a half the price of the original Odyssey Basic Uniform. You can see these variants are more below in the pictures section.

The Klingons will also get quite a treat as they get the regular Fleet Uniform, "Bortasqu' Basic" for all Klingon characters free. Like the Federation, the Klingons will get free variants if they purchased the Fleet Uniform, the Bortasqu' Ceremonial, Bortasqu' Guardian and Bortasqu' Operative variants. Romulans do not directly get either uniform. However, depending on what faction you are aligned with you can buy a Bridge officer Odyssey or Bortasqu' uniform specifically for your Starfleet or Klingon Bridge Officers only.

Finally, 200-day Veterans and or Lifetime Subscribers will get a new Odyssey and Bortasqu' Long Jacket variant to use. The Odyssey Long Jacket can be seen on Admiral Quinn currently at Earth Spacedock. These are a great addition to the STO wardrobe, so pick up an Odyssey Uniform today from the Fleet Starbase Tailor so you can get the free variants, as seen below.

POST #2 - OFFICIAL DETAILS

Bortasqu' Details

The Bortasqu' pieces previously unlocked through the Fleet tailor are now available to all existing and new Klingon characters in a set named "Bortasqu' Warrior." This set also includes previously unreleased collar and shoulder pad pieces and a skirt for female captains. The Klingon Fleet Tailor will now sell three bundles of themed Bortasqu' themed variants. The "Bortasqu' Ceremonial," "Bortasqu' Guardian" and "Bortasqu' Operative." Each set contains shoulder pads, bracers, a collar, a belt, and boots. These bundles will each cost roughly one third of the old Bortasqu' fleet uniform unlock. As with the Odyssey uniforms, players who have already bought the Bortasqu' uniform will be able to obtain these new unlocks free of charge from their fleet tailor. Romulans allied with the Klingon Defense Force can purchase Bridge-Officer Only versions of any of the above new Costume Unlocks for a lesser price from their fleet stores. These costumes can only be used on Klingon Defense Force Bridge Officers.

Odyssey Details

The Odyssey uniform will be freely available to all Federation characters. The pieces included are the Odyssey short jacket, pants, shoes and the previously unreleased Odyssey belt. The Odyssey uniform will be the default uniform for all new Federation characters and Bridge Officers. Two new Odyssey uniform sets will be sold by the Federation Fleet tailor at the same stage in Fleet progression as the original Odyssey uniforms. The "Odyssey Tactical" and the "Odyssey Dress" uniform. Each new set will be available at half the price of the original Odyssey unlock. If you have previously purchased the "Odyssey Basics" unlock from your fleet's tailor, you will find these options are free of charge at your fleet tailor. Romulans allied with Starfleet & the Federation can purchase Bridge-Officer Only versions of any of the above new Costume Unlocks for a lesser price from their fleet stores. These costumes can only be used on Starfleet Bridge Officers.

Veteran "Long Jacket" Details:

Finally, Captains who have visited Admiral Quinn on Earth Spacedock might have noticed he's wearing a long coat version of the Odyssey uniform. While making these other changes we wanted to make this uniform piece available to players as well and felt it would be a good compliment to the existing 200 day Veteran's costume pieces. 200-day Klingon players will get a Bortasqu' long coat and sash. Existing 200 day veteran unlocks will remain unaffected.
