Commanders,

Over the years, the interim period between Arc launches has varied from one to two weeks. In 2026, we’re moving to a consistent one-week interim break between Arcs to create a more predictable schedule and help you better plan for what’s ahead.

Following player feedback, we have made several updates to the Echoes of V’ger event series. On Tuesday, March 24th, the Chronicles of the Ascendant – SMS (Ops 51+) will feature Zefram Cochrane, while the Epic Luck Officer Flash Pass (Ops 20+) will feature SNW Black Ops M’Benga, Villains Winn Adami, and SCT Ezri Dax.

Below is the interim event schedule for both Ops 20–50 and Ops 51+, beginning March 23rd.

*Events are subject to change. Keep an eye on official news channels for any adjustments or updates to the event schedule.

Events for Ops 20-50

Quark’s Grand Challenge

Quark is back with a new shipment of “Special Supplies,” and he’s looking for a Commander who doesn’t mind getting their hands a little dirty to secure them. By taking on his latest set of hostile contracts, you’ll earn Quark’s Vouchers, the only currency that matters when you’re hunting for his most exclusive and “totally legal” items. It’s a simple deal: you clear out the trouble sectors, and Quark makes sure your efforts are rewarded with a very profitable cut of the action.

Updates to Quark’s Challenge Event Series based on player feedback:

Ongoing Monitoring: We are following the Mid-Ops version of this series and plan to continue iterating on the balance and experience based on player feedback and have made the following updates for this run.

• Easier Completion: Milestones for the 16 individual hostile events have been reduced, making them quicker to finish.
• Reconfigured Meta Event: The “Quark’s Grand Challenge” meta-event is now easier to complete overall. However, reaching the 5th milestone requires a high level of participation, completing 15 out of the 16 possible sub-events.
• Improved Clarity: To help players track their progress, all scoring events are now grouped together in the In-Game News. Additionally, each relevant event now explicitly states in its description that it scores into the Grand Challenge.
• Updated Rewards: The event store offerings have been updated; while some “Special Supplies” remain the same, new items have been added to the rotation.
