For the first time since it’s initial appearance in 2022, Strange New Worlds is making a comeback in Star Trek Fleet Command. This month’s content focuses on the benefits of PvP engagement, alliance cooperation, and new PvE challenges.

Update 65 Includes:

• New Building: The War Room
• New Gorn Hunter Hostiles
• New Officers
• New Missions
• New Refits, Forbidden Tech, and Artifacts
• New Primes
• New Cosmetics
• New Battle Pass
• And more

The War Room

Following the Mission chain: Show Us Your Mettle, this Klingon themed “War Room” aims to reward players for Alliance PvP engagement. By unlocking Milestones, players will receive keys to unlock “Warchests” and earn great rewards. The rewards increase permanently by upgrading the building Level!

PvP Points are rewarded for battles (won or lost) and materials stolen. A 2 time multiplier will be added for actions in Territory Systems, and 3 times as many for Infinite Incursions. As you progress through the milestones, you’ll claim keys to unlock Warchests, and within them you’ll find the upgrade tokens (Emblems of Honor) needed to continue upgrading.

Rewards can include:

• Basic and Σ Resources
• Materials
• Ship Parts
• Emblems of Honor
• Seals of Ko’tal (unlocks the exclusive Tactical Warmonger Research Node)

In addition, the building provides the following Buffs:

• War Room Shield Health: 20% -> 3200%
• War Room Officer Stats: 10% -> 2250%
• War Room Isolytic Damage: 0.50% -> 50%

The War Room is meant to help players receive additional resources in game, and it will continue to be updated over time to keep rewards relevant.

Check out this video about the War Room from Logan Starks, Product Manager, as well as this blog for more information.

Gorn Hunter Hostiles

In the vast expanse of the Star Trek universe, the Gorn have shown time and time again that they are beings not easily trifled with.

In “Strange New Worlds,” the crew of the USS Enterprise have found themselves face-to-face with these creatures on more than one account, proving that they are not merely adversaries to be overcome, but also provide a glimpse into the complexities of interspecies relations.

These Gorn Hunter Hostiles deal Isolytic damage and are immune to all non-Isolytic sources of damage, resulting in great rewards. We know PvP is not for everyone, so the team has approached these hostiles a bit differently. These hostiles provide players with a new way to use Isolytic damage and gain Artifacts, Officers, faction credits, and more. This includes the new artifacts launched last month in Update 64 and officers from both Voyager and Ent E.

In addition, the payout for six of the exBorg bundles increased significantly. Check out the new values below.

Missions

Following the structure of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, the missions will be “episodic,” each having their own self-contained story. Our narrative team is looking forward to sharing these stories with you in 25 new missions, including 4 sets of Core Missions released weekly, encompassing 5 episodic stories, and 5 missions to introduce the War Room.

Core SNW: The Meaning in the Message

5 Missions | Level 34+

The Fay (Q’nuz) – an alien race resembling elves – live to sow confusion between races, seeding space with beacons that flood planetary media systems with incendiary propaganda. 

Core SNW: More Than Flying

5 Missions | Level 34+

An Andorian ambassador on route to rendezvous with the Enterprise has been kidnapped by a group of Klingons in an effort to destabilize the Federation. 

Core SNW: Slay It Again, Sam

5 Missions | Level 34+

When the Gorn have a scent, they do not let it go. That’s bad enough if just one of them has it, but if you’ve caught the attention of an entire nest, you can pretty much kiss your existence goodbye. So when Sam Kirk finds himself cut off from the Enterprise and hunted by a group of five Gorn, he’s as sure as anyone can be that he’s a dead man. Fortunately for him, the Independent Commander is in the area and ready to lend a hand. They offer to return Sam to the Enterprise, but Sam doesn’t want to endanger the rest of his crew. Maia works out that if they can deal with each Gorn one by one, Sam Kirk might live to see another day.

Core SNW: Red Tape

5 Missions | Level 34+

The Enterprise crew’s diplomacy skills are requested in a system where bureaucracy is valued above all else. What begins as a simple mission snowballs into a series of comical hoops that the crew must jump through. The mission is put in jeopardy when La’an inadvertently insults the culture’s bureaucratic process, and the crew must de-escalate the situation before it turns into an all-out conflict.

The Commander hears about an exclusive Klingon society that runs tournaments and provides hefty rewards for the most honorable – and fearsome – of warriors. Unlock the War Room by completing these missions!
