Duty Officer Assignment Node

Duty Officer Assignment Nodes are located in space sectors. They were added in game as part of the Season 9.5 update patch on 17 July 2014, and replaced Exploration Clusters.

System Description

Afehirr Nebula

The Afehirr Nebula is located in the Gasko Sector in the Beta Quadrant.

The Afehirr Nebula is a vast area of clouds and gases dominated by highly-charged particles. The danger to ships in this area is significant, which is why it forms a boundary on expansion in this part of the quadrant.

Arucanis Arm

The Arucanis Arm is located in the Celes Sector in the Beta Quadrant.

The Arucanis Arm comprises a long curve of star systems spinning off the edge of the border between the Alpha and Beta Quadrants. Much of this arm consists of stellar gasses, nebulae, and matter formed in proto-stars, which gives it a brilliantly colorful display in the dark sky.

Azlesa Expanse

The Azlesa Expanse is located in the B'Moth Sector in the Beta Quadrant.

The Azlesa Expanse is a dangerous terrritory of charged nebulas, exploding stellar formations, and temporal anomalies. This has presented a challenging battleground for Imperial expansion for many years.

Betreka Nebula

The Betreka Nebula is located in the Betazed Sector in the Alpha Quadrant.

The Betreka Nebula, near Cardassian space, has long been a home for scavengers and smugglers. Though parts of the nebula are home to dangerously corrosive gasses, this simply makes this area an uncharted haven for captains who know the area well - or are willing to take big risks.

B'Tran Cluster

The B'Tran Cluster is located in the Vorn Sector in the Beta Quadrant.

The B'Tran Cluster holds a wide range of shrouded systems hidden by spatial anomalies and nebulae. Travel here is extremely hazardous, as the Borg have assimilated some areas, and other areas are filled with navigational dangers.

Delta Volanis Cluster

The Delta Volanis Cluster is located in the Vulcan Sector in the Beta Quadrant.

The Delta Volanis Cluster is a large expanse of space with many uncharted worlds. Most of the systems here are home to small Federation colonies or indigenous populations that have not developed substantial spacefaring capabilities.

D'kel Star Cluster

The D'kel Star Cluster is located in the Gorath Sector in the Beta Quadrant.

The D'Kel Star Cluster is home to many dwarf stars, with commensurately few habitable worlds but quite a few barren planets rich in useful resources.

Eridan Belt

The Eridan Belt is located in the Ponor Sector in the Beta Quadrant.

The Eridan Belt stretches into vast swaths of unpopulated galactic space. Many of the planets here are found singly orbiting remote stars, so this area of space is a lonely frontier.

Eridon Nebula

The Eridon Nebula is located in the Sanek Sector in the Beta Quadrant.

The Eridon Nebula is home to many dust-filled systems that formed long ago and left behind large amounts of uncoalesced matter. The region is often credited with mysterious ship disappearances.

Hromi Cluster

The Hromi Cluster is located in the Xarantine Sector in the Beta Quadrant.

The Hromi Cluster is a dense patch of stars and nebulae, not far from the intersection of Federation, Klingon, and Romulan interests. Many of the planets here are rich with useful minerals.

Khazan Cluster

The Khazan Cluster is located in the Vendor Sector in the Beta Quadrant.

The Khazan Cluster is a mysterious expanse filled with binary and trinary star systems. Many lost, ancient civilizations have left relics and ruins behind on the worlds of this star cluster.

Rolor Nebula

The Rolor Nebula is located in the Defera Sector in the Alpha Quadrant.

The Rolor Nebula is an area thick with substellar formations and charged gases, similar in many ways to the Badlands. Because of this heavy distortions, long-range scans are less useful than actual survey expeditions.

T'Ong Nebula

The T'Ong Nebula is located in the Qo'noS Sector in the Beta Quadrant.

The T'Ong Nebula has long been a thorn in the side of the Empire, as the shrouded worlds in this system hide the approach of Federation ships from the far side of the Neutral Zone. Young ambitious captains often cut their teeth on patrols in this area.

Zenas Expanse

The Zenas Expanse is located in the Arawath Sector in the Alpha Quadrant.

The Zenas Expanse lies far from the traveled routes of much of the Alpha Quadrant. This cluster houses many bright young stars, and is an area brimming with energy and radiation.
