“So what’s a Q to do in a universe of no consequence? Any takers?… Conduct experiments, of course! Like a true scientist of my beloved new neighbors, the Federation. Who cares if there are a few side effects.”
Banished to the Origin Sector by the Continuum, Q has spent his confinement opening portals to strange new dimensions, uncovering powerful treasures, and reshaping reality for his own amusement. But after witnessing the Commander’s exploits across space, time, and countless universes, he has become fixated on proving that those achievements are insignificant compared to his own omniscience.
Now, inspired by the Vulcan philosophy of Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations, Q challenges the Commander to navigate the mysteries of countless realities. Yet with every new dimension he tears open, the fragile temporal barriers surrounding the Origin Sector weaken, and if they finally break, what emerges may be far beyond even Q’s control…

Territory Capture Refresh
Territory Capture is receiving a major refresh, introducing new progression systems, gameplay, rewards, and quality-of-life improvements. From a brand-new Territory Zone and building to expanded research, updated services, and new ways to earn rewards through combat, mining, and armadas, this update modernizes the Territory Capture experience while providing more flexibility in how players participate.
Territory Expansion
Territory Capture gameplay has been expanded with new ways to earn rewards, giving players the freedom to choose their preferred playstyle while progressing the new content.
Existing Territory Capture systems now feature either:
- New 1★, 2★, and 3★ Raw Isogenite Mines, or
- New 1★, 2★, and 3★ Quantum Hostiles.
Both activities award the same new raw 1★, 2★, and 3★ Isogenite, allowing players to progress through either mining, combat, or a combination of both.
Higher-tier mines and hostiles can be found throughout T1, T2, and T3 zones, as well as in the newly introduced T4 Territory Capture zone.
New Isogenite Mines
- All new Raw Isogenite Mines have a 20% chance to spawn as a Geode.
- Geodes are an exclusive bonus only available through mining and are used to exchange additional bonus rewards in the refinery.
- While Territory Training systems will have 1* Isogenite Mines, they will not have 2*, 3* or Geode Mines.
New Quantum Hostiles
- All new Quantum Hostiles have a chance to drop a PvE chest containing exclusive Quantum Scraps.
- Quantum Hostiles have a chance to spawn as special Quantum Guardian Surveys which drop significantly increased rewards and a guaranteed PvE chest!
- Quantum Scraps are an exclusive bonus only available through combat and are used to exchange additional bonus rewards in the refinery!
Quantum Adjudicator
The Quantum Adjudicator is an automated vessel, summoned into being by Q. It was designed to collect Isogenite and other valuable resources from the many dimensions he has accessed, and even created, within the Origin Sector, venturing through his portals into other realities. As a sign of prestige and irony, he based the design on a Tarellian starship.
Abilities:
Judicious Preparation
At the start of combat, the Quantum Adjudicator gains increased:
- Isolytic Damage
- Isolytic Defense
- Apex Barrier
- Apex Shred
Almost Omnipotent (1★ and 2★ Variants)
- Has a Critical Damage Floor of 300%.
- Can only be engaged by: FKR Faction Ships and the U.S.S. Vengeance. All other ships are instantly destroyed at the start of combat.
Strike Down (3★ Variants only)
- Reduces Shield Mitigation to 0% at the start of combat. Has a Critical Damage Floor of 300%.
Quantum Guardian (Loot Goblin Survey)
The Quantum Guardian Survey is an automated vessel, summoned into being by Q with all the same abilities as the Quantum Adjudicator.
It is larger and more powerful than his standard Adjudicator, with a significantly greater cargo capacity for transporting Isogenite and other valuable resources, collected from the many dimensions he has accessed from within the Origin Sector.
Quantum Tesseract Armadas
Territory Quantum Tesseract Armadas are automated installations summoned into existence by Q, capable of interfacing with the ancient Progenitor Subspace Network within the Origin Sector to open portals to other realities.
Added as a key source of Territory scoring and progression, these armadas contribute toward takeover scoring objectives while awarding exclusive refinery loot that can be redeemed through the Territory Capture Refinery.
Alongside the new mining and hostile gameplay loops, Quantum Tesseract Armadas provide additional paths for progression, support a variety of playstyles, and introduce valuable new targets throughout Territory Capture space.
Abilities:
Isolytic Burst Warheads
- Increases Isolytic Damage at the start of combat.
Cascade Nullification
- This Armada’s Critical Damage cannot drop below 300%.
Territory Services
The Territory Capture Services system has received a major overhaul, improving the value of available services while introducing a more dynamic and rewarding experience.
- Removed a number of outdated services that no longer provide meaningful value in the current game environment, including older Isogen refines and legacy combat buffs such as Armor and Dodge bonuses.
- Remaining legacy services have been rebalanced and enhanced to provide more impactful rewards and benefits.
- Added many new and improved services targeting more recent stats, ships and parts.
New Dynamic Service System
- Introduced a new service generation system that randomly rolls rewards and buffs from curated pools each season.
- Added a variety of new service buffs to the available reward pools, including:
- Apex Shred bonuses for PvE-focused gameplay.
- Apex Barrier bonuses for PvP engagements.
- Added more Blueprint Bundle Claims to the service reward pools, creating new opportunities to acquire valuable ship progression items, including:
- G6 Epic Blueprint Claims.
- G7 Uncommon Blueprint Claims.
- Additional blueprint claims added for more side loop ships. The possibilities now include: U.S.S. Vengeance, U.S.S. Excelsior, GS-31, Borg Cube, U.S.S. Reliant, SS Revenant, NSEA Protector, U.S.S. Voyager, Meridian, Enterprise NX-01, Gorn Eviscerator, Monaveen, I.S.S. Jellyfish & Sarcophagus
- For all ships listed in the spawn pool above we also added their ship-specific parts as additional services that can spawn in the pool.
These updates modernize Territory Capture Services, making rewards more relevant, diverse, and exciting, while significantly reducing management overhead.
Galactic Anomalies
Q’s relentless experimentation within the Origin Sector has begun to tear at the fabric of space-time itself, creating unpredictable phenomena known as Galactic Anomalies. These system-wide effects impact every Commander who enters an affected system, introducing new risks, new opportunities, and ever-changing conditions across Territory space.
Beginning in Week 2, Galactic Anomalies will start appearing throughout the Origin Sector. Each anomaly applies temporary modifiers that can affect a wide range of activities, including PvP combat, hostile encounters, cargo capacity, and mining performance. Some anomalies may provide powerful advantages, while others will challenge even the most experienced Commanders.
To help you prepare, affected systems will display a Galactic Anomaly icon within the System Details panel. This interface allows you to view all active effects in the system, along with the remaining duration before the anomaly dissipates.
Galactic Anomalies are constantly shifting, and their next destination is never known in advance. Each week they will spread to new areas of the Origin Sector for a limited time, encouraging Commanders to adapt their strategies and explore changing opportunities throughout Territory space.
While these anomalies may alter the rules of engagement, those willing to venture into affected systems will find special events and rewards waiting for them, if they are bold enough to embrace the unknown.

Event Updates & Battle Passes
A Note About Events
With Update 92, we’re streamlining the event experience by bringing Mid-Ops and Ops 61+ players into a more unified event structure.
Daily events and the weekly Meta will now follow a shared framework, replacing the previous split between Mid-Ops and Ops 61+.
This does not mean every player will receive the same objectives or rewards. Events will continue to be tailored by Ops level, ensuring goals remain appropriate for each stage of progression.
This approach allows us to provide a more consistent player experience and improve clarity around event participation.
Interstellar Dominance Updates
Starting with the next run on June 29, Interstellar Dominance now includes players from Ops 20–50, making participation accessible to a wider range of Commanders.
We’ve also updated scoring and rewards across the different grades, with a greater focus on providing variety through loop-focused rewards.
While rewards and scoring have been refreshed, the cadence and schedule of each event will remain unchanged.
Battle Passes
IDIC Battle Pass (Ops 61+)
Unlocking the Elite Track in either the G6 or G7 Battle Pass grants two exclusive Exocomps that remain active for the duration of the Battle Pass. One Exocomp increases Warp Speed and the other increases Building Speed. The Elite Track will also have a Female Spock Avatar Unlock.
In addition, players Ops 61–80 will receive Shards for WOK Carol Marcus as part of the Battle Pass rewards in the Elite and Mythic Tracks.
The G7 Battle Pass rewards include Sigma FKR Faction Credits, Exotic Spirits Shipments for upgrading the Warp Dive Bar, Uncommon and Rare Ship Parts, Maverick Exclusive Periphery Intel, and more.
The G6 Battle Pass rewards include Uncommon and Rare Ship Parts, FKR Faction Credits, U.S.S. Dauntless and Serene Squall Ship Parts, Premium Mirror Dust, and more.

Improvements

Bug Fixes
Research
- Fixed an issue where tapping View Research from the insufficient resource popup for a non-convertible currency redirected players to the correct research node but left the popup open. The popup now closes automatically when the player is taken to the research node.
User Interface
- Resolved an issue where the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” option on US servers could display an empty pop-up instead of the intended privacy settings menu.
- Resolved an issue on Windows and macOS where clicking the “View” button in the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” section would not open the associated information page. (Android and iOS “View” buttons work as intended.)
- Fixed an issue where button text was not displaying correctly and could appear truncated on the Ship Management screen when switching Forbidden Tech or Chaos Tech, as well as on the Instant Repair and Event Join buttons.
Faction Store
- Resolved an issue with the Faction Store Bulk Claims screen where the bottom action bar containing the Reset and Confirm buttons overlapped the final row of item bundles. Players can now scroll fully through the list and properly view and interact with the selection counters for items in the bottom row

Alliance Starbase

Alliances
- Resolved an issue where the Alliance “Help All” button did not disappear after all available alliance help requests had been processed.
Speedups
- Fixed an issue where the “Get & Use” button label was not displaying correctly and could appear cut off when purchasing and applying speedups for station buildings, research, ships, and other progression activities.
Independent Archives
- Fixed an issue where the full text for the “Unlock” and “Mastery” buttons was not displayed properly when opening archives in the Independent Archive building.
Ship Management
- Resolved an issue where search text entered in the Ship Management filter was not reset when leaving the screen, causing it to remain visible in the background upon returning.
Localization
- Resolved an issue where long outpost names, such as Corvallen Outpost, could be truncated in the Object Viewer after tapping the information “i” icon in certain localized languages.
