Over the past year, the Borg have been threatening the very existence of many species in the galaxy. Their advancements in the Gamma Orionis Sector Block have cost the Federation and Klingon Defense Force countless lives, but resistance has proved not to be as futile as the Borg would have liked. The nanovirus discovered at Starbase 82 (“Infected”) by Task Force Omega, along with the counteragent that was developed based on data found in the Vorn System (“The Cure”), has helped turn the tides of war. Also, the events in the Quadra Sigma System (“Khitomer Accord”) have helped prove that the Borg attacks on the Vega Colony were mere attempts at trying to alter the timeline to give them the upper hand. While Task Force Omega has been victorious thus far, the Borg threat remains, and a final battle must be won.
All these events now lead to the culmination of the fight against the Borg advancement in our upcoming Special Task Force (STF) mission, Into the Hive. In this new STF, players will infiltrate Unimatrix 01, the heart of the Borg Collective and the home of the Borg Queen.
Incoming message from Task Force Omega…
Captain, our agents have discovered the location of a Borg Unimatrix. We managed to get a probe into the area, and before the Borg destroyed it, the readings indicated that the Queen's vessel was in the area. A small strike team is being assembled because they stand a higher chance of infiltrating the Borg defenses than an attack fleet does.
This is the best opportunity we're going to have to take the fight directly to the Collective. I want you to infiltrate the Unimatrix with a small team and defeat the Borg Queen!
Once you have penetrated to the heart of Unimatrix 01, the first thing you will need to do is defeat the drones connected to Central Plexus Node relays that give the Queen unfettered access to the rest of the Borg fleet. Once you have done that, you can upload a fractal virus to the Collective that will disrupt her communications with the rest of the Collective.
We'll keep the sensors locked onto your position and alert you to hidden dangers, as well as send you more information as it becomes available.
Good luck.
To participate, use the PvE Queue to join either a public or private queue. Into the Hive is a ground mission that is available in two difficulty modes: Normal and Elite. This event is always available, but if you play during certain hourly events (calendar updates to be announced at a later date) you will earn even more rewards. Into the Hive is available to both Federation and Klingon players and is targeted at 5-person groups. You must be a Vice Admiral or Lieutenant General to participate.
We’ll see you in-game and in the queues for Into the Hive when it launches with Season 7!

While this is interesting and exciting, am I to understand that the whole of Season 7 is one STF?

Haha no, that's just the first dev blog for the season. I didn't realize it was time for another season. Hopefully we get some cool stuff to do, not just more ships.

You wanted more prett? ....
Tau Dewa Sector Block
When Season 7 launches next month, we will be introducting a brand-new sector block that players will be able to explore, patrol and discover new missions in. The Tau Dewa Sector Block, which is south of the Psi Velorum Sector Block, is populated by Romulan refugees looking for places to call home after the collapse of the Romulan Star Empire.
This sector is home to the Azure Nebula and 17 new systems, 13 of which have requested the Federation and Klingon Defense Force’s aid in sorting out issues related to the colonization occurring nearby.
Several systems in the Tau Dewa Sector Block have caught the eyes of the Romulan refugees as worth considering for future colonization efforts. However, there is a lot of work that needs to be completed before they can break ground and they have asked for your assistance. Please seek out Romulans in the following systems to see how you can lend a hand:
Archer System
Narendra System
Gamma Eridon System
Beta Thoridor System
Japori System
Carraya System
Pheben System
Nequincia Alpha System
Jouret System
Acamar System
Beta Lankal System
Starbase 234 System
Galorndon Core System
Other systems in the sector block include:
Suliban System
Khitomer System
Nimbus System
New Romulus System (This is home to our new Adventure Zone – look for a Dev Blog on this next week)
Missions in the Tau Dewa Sector Block are available to players who have reached Vice Admiral or Lieutenant General Rank, and bonus rewards will be awarded if played during special timeslots found on the hourly event calendar. To participate in the various missions listed above, speak to sector contact Subcommander Mivek by using the button that will appear towards the lower-right section of your screen while in the sector. They are designed for both solo and group play.
We’ll see you in-game and in the Tau Dewa Sector Block when it opens with the launch of Season 7!
