🧬 Wrath of Khan Part 1: The Return of a Legend

Khan Noonien Singh has shattered the timeline, defeating James T. Kirk and seizing forbidden Progenitor knowledge. Now, he and his Augment followers threaten the galaxy. This arc introduces new missions, systems, and features that will test your command skills.


🧭 New Missions: Core and Side Stories

  • Core Missions (Ops 38+): Embark on 10 missions confronting Khan’s rise and the altered timeline.
  • Side Missions (Ops 26+): Join Lucretia, Hand of Khan, in 5 missions that explore Khan’s regime and unlock Priority 1 Away Team Assignments.

🧠 Fleet Commander: Khan Noonien Singh

Khan joins as a new Fleet Commander focused on PvP dominance. His skill trees—Visionary, Extremist, and Overseer—enhance effects like Hull Breach, Burning, and Morale.

Active Ability: “Wrath of Khan” grants a 400% fleet-wide Critical Damage boost for over 5 minutes.

Unlock Khan through Priority 1 Away Team Assignments or by defeating Khan’s Champions.


🧪 Priority 1 Away Team Assignments (P1ATAs)

A new Away Team tier for Ops 26+ players:

  1. Unlock: Use Service Awards in the Away Teams Research Tree.
  2. Collect: Defeat Augment Exiles in Exiles Space to get Hijacked Splicers.
  3. Exchange: Trade Splicers for Wrath Credits in the Augment Faction Store.
  4. Launch: Use Planetary Charts to initiate P1ATAs.

📍 Where to Find the Hostiles

The necessary hostiles—Augment Exiles—can be found in Exiles Space, a new region located between Federation and Dominion territories on the galaxy map.

  • G3 Hostiles: Drop Common Hijacked Splicers
  • G4 Hostiles: Drop Uncommon (and some Common) Hijacked Splicers
  • G5 Hostiles: Drop Rare (plus Uncommon and Common) Splicers
  • G6 Hostiles: Drop Epic (plus Rare and Uncommon) Splicers

Look for ship types like the Hijacked USS Mayflower, D3 Class, and Legionary.

These drops fuel your ability to run Priority 1 ATAs and earn Khan-related rewards.

I’ve mostly been dropping songs as I finish them, just one at a time.

This next release is a little different. Dirt, Love & Freedom is 12 of those songs gathered into one album. Same music, same heart, just all in one place.
