The Academy particle scanning events are now part of the Junior Officer Appreciation Event! Visit Starfleet Academy or Klingon Academy during the event and speak to Professor Meyer or Commander B’Tama. Pick a cadet to train, then engage in scanning particles all about the academy grounds. As you scan and capture particles you’ll help to train the cadet, and in exchange your faction will release a new random Duty Officer to you. The more particles you scan, the better the quality of the officer you can claim!

Scan a minimum of 5 traces to be rewarded a Common Duty Officer

Scan a minimum of 25 traces to be rewarded a Uncommon Duty Officer

Scan a minimum of 50 traces to be rewarded a Rare Duty Officer

Scan a minimum of 75 traces to be rewarded a Very Rare Duty Officer

So, expect the Academy to be full of douchenozzles running around grabbing as many particle scans as they can, right?

The particles respawn very quickly.

Be advised the mission is on a 20 hour cooldown, so you'll only be able to do it 3 or 4 times max this weekend.  Don't bother unless you're going for the 75 traces for the very rare doff, imho.

Yeah, it's actually not too bad. I think it's taken me about 40 minutes (on average) to get he 75 needed for the VR DOff.
