Update 55 – Voyager Part 2

By Star Trek 6 June 2023



Greetings, Commanders, and welcome to Star Trek Fleet Command Update 55, Voyager Part 2.

In this update, we will be highlighting the following new release:

– New ship, the Intrepid Class USS Voyager
– A new damage type: Isolytic Damage
– New regions of the uncovered Delta Quadrant Space
– New officers
– And more

New Ship: Voyager

The USS Voyager is an iconic ship that is thrust into an unknown section of space known as the Delta Quadrant, embarking on a journey with one goal, to get home.

In Star Trek Fleet Command, the USS Voyager comes equipped with an impulse speed rivaling the Vi’Dar and the fastest warp speed in the game. Its passive ship ability, “Feels Like Home,” deals extra damage to hostiles marked with the “DQ” tag in Delta Quadrant space.

The Voyager also comes equipped with 2 brand new active abilities, “Advanced Sensors” and “Astrometrics Scan”.

The first active ability, “Advanced Sensors,” allows the USS Voyager to reveal ships that evade regular sensors, such as the new Species 8472 hostiles.


The second active ability, “Astrometrics Scan” can be used on another player’s ship to reveal the coordinates of their station. This ability can come in handy when you’re on the hunt for more resources or to get revenge against a hostile Commander that raided you.

To use the USS Voyager to its full potential, you will want to travel to the new systems that have been revealed with the release of Update 55. There, you can combat the “Hirogen Hunter Elites” in order to collect the Hirogen Relics. These relics can then be exchanged for Deuterium Canisters, which fuel both of the Voyager’s active abilities.

Once you have your Deuterium Canisters, you can use the Voyager’s “Advanced Sensors” ability to reveal Species 8472. These hostiles start at the “Velixys” system and reward Exotic Biotoxins, which can then be refined into rewards and a travel token for specific Delta Quadrant systems. These unique systems will have “Anomaly Samples”, which can be exchanged for “Voyager ship parts”, “circuitry fragments”, and the new, extremely powerful, Isolytic Artifacts.


The USS Voyager also comes with its own research tree providing 21 new nodes, accenting both your in-loop and out of loop gameplay. These nodes include damage against hostiles, impulse and warp speed, and increased payouts from artifact exchange chests. Additionally, many of these nodes affect your entire fleet.

New Artifacts: Isolytic Damage and Mitigation



Isolytic is a brand-new damage type that will work alongside standard damage types, kinetic and energy, and a percentage of that damage will be transformed into Isolytic. While you have many ways to mitigate standard damage in Star Trek Fleet Command, Isolytic damage is unique in the fact that it will bypass all traditional means of mitigation and can only be stopped by Isolytic mitigation.

For example, think of standard damage as an arrow and isolytic damage as radiation. Your standard mitigation stats are like a shield that blocks the arrow, but that same shield can’t block the radiation all around you. To protect yourself against that, you need a radiation suit. In the same way, you need Isolytic Mitigation.

You’ll be able to unlock this new force multiplier in a variety of ways, such as the new Isolytic artifacts available this month, and this will be a permanent new addition to the core strategy of Star Trek Fleet Command, starting with our Captain Janeway, being released this month.

The team has been working on this feature for some time, and we’re super excited with the creative possibilities this stat will bring to future releases. Additionally, in Update 55, this damage type will add a new layer of strategy into your galactic exploration, and a new way to interact with Star Trek Fleet Command.

As the crew of the Intrepid-class starship Voyager continue their journey through the Delta Quadrant, Captain Janeway returns to the bridge in order to resume command and find a way home for her crew. However, clandestine forces conspire in the shadows. Arcaelans, descendants of the Progenitor lineage, seek to claim the mantle of galactic caretakers; an esteemed role once held by their predecessors. In order to see their plan through, the Arcaelans have enlisted the aid of both the Borg and the Hirogen. Instructing them to target Species 8472, the Arcaelans seek to destroy fluidic space and correct what they deem to be an interstellar anomaly. Nevertheless, unlikely to accept her role as a pawn in another’s plans, the Borg Queen formulates intentions of her own…

Explore the Delta Quadrant Space further in 10 new planetary missions:

Meanwhile, closer to home, incursions into the Delta Quadrant have acquired the attention and interest of several native species. The resourceful Vaadwaur, the formidable Devore, and even the scholarly conglomerate known as the Think Tank have all expressed interest in working with Independent operators hailing from the Alpha Quadrant. But of course, how they hope to benefit from these alliances remains to be determined. As the journey through the Delta Quadrant continues, all aspiring explorers are advised to exercise caution. For as many new allies await to make first contact, there are just as many potential new foes waiting to strike…
