Who are the V’ger Orion Interceptors?

V’ger Orion Interceptors are a new hostile variant added to the V’ger Daily Challenge rotation. They represent an adaptive response by the V’ger entity and introduce new combat mechanics focused against critical damage builds and utilising new officer interaction rules.

Where can I find V’ger Orion Interceptors?

V’ger Orion Interceptors appear in Easy and Hard V’ger Daily Challenges on Wednesdays and Sundays. These days, they replace the V’ger Gorn and V’ger Silent hostiles that previously appeared in the rotation.

What are the characteristics of V’ger Orion Interceptors?

These hostiles feature enhanced Isolytic Damage and Isolytic Defense, a strong Apex Barrier at the start of combat and Critical Damage reduction that increases every round. They also reduce Shield Mitigation and shred Apex Barrier upon receiving critical hits. Certain officer combinations trigger a significant increase to their Apex Barrier.

How can I effectively defeat V’ger Orion Interceptors?

V’ger Orion Interceptors are balanced around Apex Barrier and Isolytic mechanics. Officer selection is critical, as specific combinations can significantly increase the hostile’s defensive strength and trigger their passives more frequently. Combat performance is evaluated through efficiency rather than prolonged engagements.

What rewards can I earn from V’ger Orion Interceptors?

Defeating V’ger Orion Interceptors counts toward completion of V’ger Easy and Hard Daily Challenges. Completing these challenges awards Challenge Track Points, Challenge Credits, and contributes to ongoing V’ger and FKR progression.

Do V’ger Orion Interceptors change existing challenge progression?

No. They replace specific V’ger hostiles on their scheduled days but continue to award the same challenge progression rewards as the previous rotation.
