The Borg no longer rely on Interlink Nodes and do not call for Proto Drone reinforcements. However, their assimilation ability is far more powerful: it can turn a player into a drone, usually resulting in his or her teammates following advice from a previous Borg attack on the Federation in 2373 (2063):

"You may encounter crew members who have already been assimilated. Don't hesitate to fire. Believe me, you'll be doing them a favour."
--Capt.

The High Council has ordered us to make fighting the Borg one of our top priorities. We must stop them now -- even our conflicts with the Federation are not as important as destroying these soulless machines.

To this end, I have been authorized to provide you with additional resources for the upcoming conflict.

Up to five players (a hard cap of six for the instance if a group is already teamed and tries to enter), which can be from either faction, can join in one of these encounters. There is a minimum level requirement of Lieutenant 6. These encounters will activate approximately every 1-2 hours for 10 minutes per sector block (with each block operating on its own timer). Players at a level below or above 45 will be changed to that level (except for the higher-level Zeta Andromedae and Orellius sector blocks). Players receive a [] once per day. There are a total of 35 associated with these encounters. There is a 15 minute countdown to dispatch four Borg engagements of probes, spheres, cubes, and tactical cubes.

[] Stage 2: Borg Ground Invasion

Released: December 1, 2011

The used to occur only during three days a week, for 2 hours per event. Now, it runs all day.

"The Ground Invasion we are working on will put a specific species home world in jeopardy. In the movie First Contact, the crew of the Enterprise views an assimilated Earth in the future. We wanted to bring this sort of tension into the game by having the Borg make an effort to assimilate a planet and show both the Federation and KDF just how difficult it is to remove the Borg from a planetary population center once they dig their heels in. The new zone will allow captains to play solo or team up with others in order to complete a host of different missions aimed at combating the Borg “creep” and rescuing as many civilians as possible before they become Borg. This will be a timed event that will take place over the course of a few hours, after which the Borg will retreat and regroup, then try again. In order to complete many of the objectives, players will need to work quickly to maximize their time and take advantage of the opening."

A species in the game is going to be at risk of being assimilated and both Feds and KDF must attempt to defend the planet from being overrun with Borg. This event will most likely be a big weekly occurance. It will have multiple missions, allow anywhere between 25 and 50 players per zone and be one of the coolest repeatable ground events we have in the game. It will scale with level and have both easy and hard mission objectives that teams can attempt during the assimilation event.

There are 6 accolades - killing all the named bosses in Power Plant and Probe areas, as well as completing the following missions (easy missions unlock medium missions which unlock hard missions):

[] City

[] Power Plant

[] Temple

[] Probe


There may be more missions to come as there's a platform for Com Station, but currently it's inactive.

Easy missions can be completed by a single player. Medium missions are recommended for a team of 2-3 players. Hard missions are recommended for a full team of 5 players.
