General information

Open Missions
Available to players once they reach Level 60, the Badlands Battlezone is divided into nine areas; in each area, players must work to close a portal to the Mirror Universe. Efforts in the Battlezone are coordinated by the USS Malinche.

There are three types of points which can be captured to advance the Battlezone Ally Control meter:

Power Station

 * Maintain close proximity to Terran Empire power station and defend it until it is shut down. Shutdown will progress if allied ships outnumber Mirror Universe ships.

Mirror Universe Portal

 * Shut down three portal generators which are maintaining a portal to the Mirror Universe and defend the portal until it collapses.

Plasma Controller

 * Destroy Terran Plasma Control station by attacking it directly and disabling nearby backup satellites.

Once all nine points have been captured, three Mirror Fortresses appear on the map: Empok Nor, Terran Empire Base and Klingon Alliance Base.

Mirror Fortresses

 * Each Mirror Fortress is protected by a shield bubble. To take down the shield bubble, players need to disable a power station, portal generator and plasma controller orbiting the station. Once the shielding is down, they can attack the Starbase.

If the players are able to defeat all three starbases within 10 minutes, a Terran Empire fleet, led by the, invades the Badlands. Players have 5 minutes to defeat as many Terran Empire ships as possible.
