Available to Commanders Ops 55+, the Maverick Faction is a decentralized collective of independent peacekeepers who defend vulnerable systems along faction borders and conflict zones. They have no formal hierarchy or home base, uniting voluntarily in times of crisis to protect the weak and uphold justice. While not all Independents are Mavericks, all Mavericks reject traditional faction structures and are known as vigilantes and folk heroes who welcome worthy allies and punish abuses of power.
Maverick Faction Store
Unlock the Maverick Faction by constructing the Warp Dive Bar, which becomes available to Ops 55+ Commanders after completing the Warp Dive mission found in the Gift Section.
Once unlocked, the Maverick Faction introduces a dynamic Task system with rotating weekly Solo and Alliance objectives tied to the First Contact Loop. Completing milestones earns Maverick Renown and Credits, which can be used to unlock rewards including Ship Parts, building materials, Epic Artifacts, Zefram Cochrane, and new progression currencies such as Maverick Periphery Intel and Task Keys.
The Maverick Faction store features a dedicated interface with two tabs: Store and Tasks. Tasks include milestones and have varied objectives. The system includes both Alliance and Solo tasks. Tasks rotate weekly, tied narratively to the Arc’s Borg invasion theme and reflected in the interface. It should be noted that while some tasks require Alliance participation, faction reputation progression is tracked individually.
Maverick Tasks
Tasks are the primary source of Maverick Reputation and Maverick Credits within the faction. Each week, Commanders will have access to six total Tasks:
- 3 Alliance Tasks
- 3 Solo Tasks
Each Task includes both a Solo and Alliance version, with Solo versions requiring a Maverick Task Key earned by upgrading the Warp Dive Bar to specific levels, and all Tasks reset every Monday in alignment with the Daily Goals schedule.
Three Research nodes in the Maverick Research Tree further improve Task efficiency and rewards:
- Glory of the Mavericks
- Patrons of the Mavericks
- Deeds of the Mavericks
These nodes increase output and progression efficiency tied to Maverick Tasks.
Weekly Tasks
The following Task runs each week:
- Conqueror Borg Armada Hunt – Destroy new Conqueror Borg Solo Armadas
Note: To successfully complete this Task, it is important to unlock the key Research nodes in the Maverick Research Tree that strengthen your fleet against Conqueror Borg Solo Armadas, including:
- Isolytic Defense vs. Conqueror Borg Solo Armadas
- Apex Shred vs. Conqueror Borg Solo Armadas
- Critical Damage Reduction vs. Conqueror Borg Solo Armadas
Rotating FKR Tasks
These rotate on a schedule and focus on faction activity:
- Spreading the Word – Earn Federation, Klingon, and Romulan reputation points
- FKR Hunt – Destroy Federation, Klingon, and Romulan hostiles of Level 55 or higher
Rotating Hostile Tasks

- V’ger Hunt – Destroy V’ger hostiles

These rotating objectives keep Tasks aligned with the First Contact Loop while providing a clear and consistent path for weekly progression.
