Tzenkethi war fleets have clashed with the Federation and their allies twice within living memory, and both wars have proven that their technology and warfare tactics are a match for any other major civilization within the known galaxy. Their focus on inventive maneuvers and purpose-built shield arrays have helped secure victory in many engagements against what would otherwise be considered superior opponents.

The following starships will become available with the release of the Tzenkethi Lock Box, scheduled to arrive on PC starting with Season 14 on October 3rd, 2017.

Tzenkethi Shuk-din Escort [T6]

The agile Shuk-din Escort is feared by many that have encountered it in combat due to its unique combination of formidable shields and aggressive forward-facing weapon arrays. When you couple these capabilities with the Tzenkethi tendency to coordinate for both offense and defense, it's no wonder that these vessels have such an infamous reputation.

This starship features a Lieutenant Tactical/Miracle Worker Bridge Officer Seat, and a Lieutenant Commander Universal/Pilot Bridge Officer Seat.

Experimental Weapon – Protomatter-Laced Sheller

Originally of Tzenkethi design, this weapon is now capable of being fitted into any starship with an Experimental Weapon slot (previously known as Heavy Weapon slot). The protomatter-laced payload it delivers is split between Kinetic and Radiation damage, and the damage it deals is increased against foes the closer they are to being directly in front of your ship.

Console – Universal – Peripheral Refraction Array

This console represents the current pinnacle of Tzenkethi shield technology, allowing the starship to massively increase their defensive capabilities along all non-Forward shield facings. The forward array is instead tuned to offense, increasing the damage dealt by the starship's weaponry against any foe within their forward-facing 90-degree arc.

This console also provides a passive boost to Shield Hardness and Shield Regeneration.

This console may be equipped in any console slot, on any Tzenkethi starship. You may only have one of these consoles equipped at a time.

Starship Trait – Symmetry

After achieving Level 5 in your Tzenkethi Shuk-din Escort, you will unlock the Symmetry Starship Trait. While this trait is slotted, using any Shield Healing Bridge Officer Ability will cause foes near the healed ally (or self) to suffer an amount of Shield Drain proportionate to the amount of shields restored.

Tzenkethi Rhas’bej Battlecruiser [T6]

Rhas'bej Battlecruisers possess a surprising amount of maneuverability for a starship with such a low top speed, allowing them to more regularly utilize their aggressive forward-mounted weaponry. These offensive capabilities are used alongside the impressively resilient shield arrays that all Tzenkethi ships are known for.

This starship features an Ensign Engineering/Pilot Bridge Officer Seat, and a Lieutenant Commander Universal/Miracle Worker Bridge Officer Seat.

Cruiser Communications Array Command - Strategic Maneuvering Command - Shield Frequency Modulation Command - Weapon System Efficiency





Console – Universal – Momentum Manipulator

The inner workings of this technology are still a bit of a mystery, but it is said to replicate and redirect both kinetic and potential energy, in order to alter fundamental aspects of physics. Regardless of how it works, it has proven to be an effective weapon of choice for the Tzenkethi, allowing even their larger warships to suddenly execute maneuvers otherwise assumed impossible, while simultaneously boosting their weapons' destructive capabilities.

This console also provides a passive boost to Radiation, Kinetic and Physical Resistance Rating, and Outgoing Shield Healing.

This console may be equipped in any console slot, on any Tzenkethi starship. You may only have one of these consoles equipped at a time.

Starship Trait – Turtle

After achieving Level 5 in your Tzenkethi Rhas’bej Battlecruiser, you will unlock the Turtle Starship Trait. While this trait is slotted, you may conserve your energy and move slowly, in order to gain additional Shield Capacity, Shield Hardness, and Turn Rate. These bonuses ramp up the longer you remain at or below 25% Throttle, increasing every 2 seconds.

Lukari N'kaam Scout Ship [T5]

In the process of making the more state-of-the-art Ho'kuun vessel, the Lukari also experimented with smaller, lighter spacecraft. The N'kaam represents some of those earlier engineering explorations, and although not quite as impressive as it's big sisters, is still quite capable in its own right.

Scout Ships are a unique combination of Science Vessel capabilities, in a much smaller, faster and more fragile package. They come with built-in Sensor Analysis and Subsystem Targeting, as well as a Secondary Deflector slot, and are able to benefit from Raider Flanking bonuses as well. These nimble vessels are also similar to a Raider in that they boast an abundance of universal bridge officer seats, can load dual cannons, and have similar weapon slot configurations.
