The Terran Task Force is a joint venture between the Klingon Empire, Romulan Republic, and United Federation of Planets. These forces are working together to prevent the Terran Empire’s invasion of our Universe. Using technology originally developed by the Klingon’s secretive House Pegh to combat the Federation, the Task Force seeks to halt the Terran Empire’s attempts to conquer territory, and drive them back to the Universe they came from.

This new reputation will be available with Season 11’s release and will feature all new traits, kit modules, space equipment sets and a ground equipment set.

Progression

Submitting Terran Marks will increase your standing with the Terran Task Force. These can be earned by participating in the Counterpoint and Assault on Terok Nor queues, as well as the new Badlands Battlezone. Each source of marks allows for scaling rewards, increasing the number of Terran Marks received by performing above expectations or completing bonus objectives.

Terran Gravimetric Inducers can be earned by participating in the Advanced and Elite versions of queues which reward Terran marks, as well as completing events within the Badlands Battlezone. Terran Gravimetric Inducers are used by the Terran Empire to manipulate the plasma storms within the Badlands, and to stabilize their gateways into our universe. High-end gear projects will require a small number of Terran Gravimetric Inducers to claim the best equipment the Terran Task Force has to offer. The Terran Task Force will also exchange Terran Gravimetric Inducers for Dilithium Ore.

Rewards

Terran Marks and Terran Gravimetric Inducers can be submitted for 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 Terran Task Force:

Terran Task Force Starship Technologies (Space Set – 4 Pieces)

Terran Task Force Deflector Array Mk XII The Terran Task Force Deflector Array is designed to offer a blend of defensive and offensive utility. Defensively, the array enhances your shield strength, resistance to shield drain and resistance to effects which disable or hamper ships. Offensively, it enhances the potency of outgoing shield and energy drains.

Terran Task Force Covariant Shield Array Mk XII Initially intended to withstand Phaser fire from Federation ships, the Terran Task Force Covariant Shield offers high shield capacity and significantly reduces Phaser damage to shields. Additionally, the shield array occasionally fires bursts of Disruptor energy back at attacking vessels.

Terran Task Force Impulse Engines Mk XII Designed to mitigate subsystem disabling effects, the Terran Task Force Impulse Engines enhance Auxiliary subsystem power levels. When a subsystem is brought offline, the engines perform an automatic subroutine, increasing the ship’s damage resistance.

Terran Task Force Quantum Capacitor Warp Core Mk XII Matter / Antimatter Core: The Terran Task Force Quantum Capacitor Warp Core prototypes a new method to transfer power generated by the warp core throughout the ship. Unlike most warp cores which enhance power levels for one subsystem, the quantum capacitor benefits each subsystem. While in combat, the warp core will gradually raise power levels and maximum subsystem levels for all aspects of the ship. Singularity Core: The Terran Task Force Quantum Capacitor Warp Core prototypes a new method to transfer power generated by the singularity core throughout the ship. Unlike most singularity cores which enhance power levels for one subsystem based on singularity charge level, the quantum capacitor benefits each subsystem. While in combat, the singularity core will gradually raise power levels for all aspects of the ship, allowing the singularity charge to be reliably manipulated without dropping power levels.

Terran Task Force Starship Munitions (Weapon Set – 3 Pieces)

Terran Task Force Disruptor Weapon Mk XII Beam Array: The Terran Task Force Beam Array has a chance to apply Withering Radiation, which causes radiation damage based on the number of Withering Radiation stacks present on a target. Energy damage from this weapon becomes more potent against enemies with lower hull integrity. Dual Heavy Cannons: The Terran Task Force Dual Heavy Cannons have a chance to apply Withering Radiation, which causes radiation damage based on the number of Withering Radiation stacks present on a target. Energy damage from this weapon becomes more potent against enemies with lower hull integrity.

Terran Task Force Photon Torpedo Mk XII The Terran Task Force Photon Torpedo has a chance to apply Withering Radiation, which causes radiation damage based on the number of Withering Radiation stacks present on a target. This torpedo becomes more potent against enemies with lower hull integrity.

Console – Universal – Ferrofluid Hydraulic Assembly Mk XII The Ferrofluid Hydraulic Assembly Console increases maximum hit points, as well as auxiliary and weapon subsystem power levels. In addition, the pressurized ferrofluid assembly allows for faster torpedo tube reloads, reducing recharge time shared between torpedoes.





Below are the set bonuses for this new space equipment set:

Terran Task Force Munitions Set Bonuses (Space)

Focused Detonations (2 piece) – Passive Increased Projectile Weapon damage.

Terran Task Force Special Ops (Ground Set – 3 Pieces)

Terran Task Force Combat Armor Mk XII Terran Task Force Combat Armor offers a substantial defensive advantage, especially against incoming Phaser fire. Additionally, the combat armor has a built-in tactical positioning suite, giving your weapon attacks against flanked targets additional armor penetration.

Terran Task Force Personal Shield Mk XII Intended to keep wearers mobile, the Terran Task Force Personal Shield increases the wearer’s resistance to knock and root effects. The personal shield also fires bursts of Disruptor energy back at attackers on occasion, helping take out enemy targets faster.

Terran Task Force Weapon Mk XII High Density Beam Rifle: The Terran Task Force Disruptor High Density Beam Rifle is charged with Withering Radiation, giving a chance to cause additional Radiation damage based on the number of Withering Radiation stacks present on a target. The primary weapon fire also applies stacks of High Density Charge to the user. At 7 stacks, the weapon’s secondary fire changes from a standard High Density Beam to a High Density Beam Spray, which deals more damage in a larger area. Bat’leth: The Terran Task Force Bat’leth builds Electrokinetic Charges when performing primary and secondary strikes. The tertiary attack consumes built-up Electrokinetic Capacitor Charge stacks, discharging them to deal additional Electrical damage.





Below are the set bonuses for this new ground equipment set:

Terran Task Force Special Ops Set Bonuses (Ground)

Interference Algorithm (2 piece) – Passive Increases Disruptor damage Increases Physical damage Being affected by Control or Knock effects triggers an additional Physical and Disruptor damage buff
