The Delta Alliance - After U.S.S. Voyager returned from the Delta Quadrant in 2378, Starfleet launched Project Voyager, a program to analyze the technology and data the ship collected during its seven-year journey and adapt it for use on all Starfleet vessels. Now that the gateway to the Delta Quadrant has been opened and a joint alliance will be exploring the region, the SCE is sharing its research with counterparts from the Klingon Defense Force and the Romulan Republic Militia to help equip all ships taking part in Operation Delta Rising for the challenges they will face in the Delta Quadrant. At the launch of Delta Rising, all Federation, Klingon and Romulan Captains at or above level 50 will be able to prove their worth by helping the Delta Alliance. Earning progress in the Delta Alliance Reputation will grant these elite captains access to equipment and abilities specifically intended to assist in the effort to explore the Delta Quadrant. Progression: Increasing your standing with the Delta Alliance will require the submission of Delta Marks. These can be earned by completing repeatable queued events from Delta Rising. Each of these missions allow for scaling rewards, increasing the amount of Delta Marks received if you are able to perform above expectations and/or complete bonus objectives. Ancient Power Cells can also be earned by participating in the higher-difficulty versions of any queued event which rewards Delta Marks. Ancient Power Cells can be found in the wreckage of numerous recent battles that have taken place in the Delta Quadrant. By harnessing the potential of these powerful relics, advanced technologies have been developed that were previously beyond the reach of Alpha Quadrant scientists and engineers. High-end gear projects will require a small amount of Ancient Power Cells in order to claim the best equipment that the Delta Alliance has to offer. They may also be submitted to the Delta Alliance in return for Dilithium Ore. Rewards: With your Delta Marks and Ancient Power Cells in hand, you will be able to submit these for both Reputation XP and new, high-quality gear acquisitions. Here are a few examples of the items that can be earned by advancing your standing with the Delta Alliance:
