Commanders,

As the Hierarch and the Node wage war against the Borg and the galaxy teeters on the brink of chaos, a new Fleet Commander arrives with Update 85: Benjamin Sisko. 

Available to players Ops 51+, Fleet Commander Sisko brings his tactical expertise and leadership to the front lines, specializing in Outpost Combat and Loot Efficiency while providing hybrid benefits that enhance both PvE and PvP gameplay.
