Solanae Dyson Sphere

The  is a Dyson sphere located in the Delta Quadrant close to the border to the Beta Quadrant. Accessible through an Iconian gateway in the Azure Sector, the Solanae Dyson Sphere is the site of both a space adventure zone, as well as ground and space "battlezones" occupied by the Voth and the Undine, respectively.

The Solanae Dyson Sphere has a radius of approximately 1 around a  star. The inner surface of the sphere offers an area of ~1.4 x 10^17 km² - approximately 550 million times the surface of the Earth.

History

 * Like the Jenolan Dyson Sphere, the Solanae Dyson Sphere was built by the Solanae, an Iconian servitor race, approximately 200,000 years ago.
 * It was commissioned as an Iconian staging base when they were forced to abandon their homeworld after its orbital bombardment. The Sphere was capable of housing large armadas, sustaining a vast population, and traveling vast distances across the galaxy through subspace via a "jump" ability fueled by Omega Particles generated by the Sphere itself.
 * When the Solanae activated the Sphere, a large scale industrial accident occurred which generated large amounts of ic energy and significantly reduced the energy output of the Sphere's central . ** The effect on the star can be inferred by the spires dotted across the interior surface of the Sphere being optimized for a different spectral band than the one produced by the star.
 * It is implied that this accident changed the molecular structure of the surviving Solanae, forcing them to retreat into subspace to survive. The accident forced the Iconians to abandon the Sphere due to its flaws and left large amounts of residual tetryon particles which are still detectable in the present day.
 * In 2409, the Federation detected a 2 AU-wide region of "blank space" in the Delta Quadrant using the . At a distance of 30,000 light years from Sol, the long-range science vessel USS Callisto was located close to the anomaly and was rerouted to its position. Looking at the same region of space, a sensor network of the Romulan Republic detected high concentrations of, , and  amongst others.
 * While parts of it are occupied by the Voth, who are trying to exploit the Sphere's automated production of s, the Dyson Joint Command, an alliance of Federation, Klingon and Romulan Republic forces, have claimed an adjacent area to battle the Voth threat.
 * In 2410, Undine arrived by using a gateway from another Dyson Sphere. They took command of the "Voth Zone", destroying Voth dreadnoughts and opening rifts into fluidic space.

Solanae Dyson Sphere

 * Faction_FedRomKDF.png : After having discovered an Iconian gateway in a cave on New Romulus, the Romulan Republic invites representatives of the Klingon Empire and the Federation to witness its re-activation. An incident traps Ambassador Worf and others in subspace on the far site of the gateway. In order to return, the group has to re-activate all Iconian gateways in the Milky Way galaxy, including one in the Jouret System which was previously hidden in subspace. Although an Elachi armada initially tries to defend it, it is later discovered that this gateway leads to the Solanae Dyson Sphere.
 * Faction_FedRomKDF.png : As the gateway is located within Romulan Republic space, the Dyson Joint Command, coordinated by Subcommander Kaol, is formed by the Republic, the Federation, and the Klingon Empire, in order to explore and secure the Dyson sphere together.
 * Faction_FedRomKDF.png : The player has to secure the supply depot of the Dyson Joint Command by exposing cloaked Voth ships in the vicinity.
 * Faction_FedRomKDF.png : The player's ship is sent to the Contested Zone in order to aid in Joint Command undertakings there.
 * Faction_FedRomKDF.png : The player and a small away team are sent to the Ground Battlezone to prevent Voth forces from taking control of Omega Particle silos on the sphere's inner surface.
 * Faction_FedRomKDF.png : The player is ordered to capture an hold strategically important towers in the Contested Zone.
 * Faction_FedRomKDF.png : The Voth are programming the sphere to jump to Voth-controlled space. The player is tasked to assist Rear Admiral Tuvok on a Solanae station orbiting the sphere's central star in disabling the sphere's jump-capability as this would release disastrous amounts of s.
 * Faction_FedRomKDF.png : The Undine have driven the Voth out of their zone. The player is sent to the Undine Battlezone in order to assist Joint Command forces to prevent them from destroying the entire sphere.

PvE Queues

 * Faction_FedRomKDF.png : Joint Command forces compete with the Voth for the control of a spire on the inner surface of the sphere. Both sides try to land troop transports and destroy those of the opposing party.
 * Faction_FedRomKDF.png : In order to fly inside and destroy its reactor, a small Joint Command task force is sent to create a hull breach in the side of a gigantic Voth Fortress Ship operating within the Solanae Dyson Sphere.

General information
Vice Admiral Chal Rexx explains the main goal in the Undine Battlezone during a cutscene after player's first visit.



Open Missions
Available to players once they reach Level 50, the Undine Battlezone is divided into nine areas; in each area, players must work to close a rift to Fluidic space. Efforts in the Battlezone are coordinated by the USS Cheron.

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

Federation Point

 * Activate a Federation Experimental Rift Destruction device and guard it until it goes online. Activation will progress if allied ships outnumber Undine vessels.

Klingon Point

 * Activate four components of a Klingon Advanced Weaponry and defend them from the Undine forces.

Romulan Point

 * Activate a Romulan Singularity Propulsion Satellite and escort a singularity device to the rift. Undine forces will try to halt your progress - destroy bioships tasked with disabling the propulsion satellites.

Once all nine points have been captured, three Undine Planet Killers appear on the map.

The Planet Killers

 * When brought to 50% of the hull, each Planet Killer will activate an emergency shield bubble. To take the shielding down, players will have to do one of the following:
 * Activate a Federation Experimental Rift Destruction device and guard it until it goes online.
 * Activate three components of a Klingon Advanced Weaponry which will deactivate the shield.
 * Escort a Romulan Singularity Device, while protecting it from constant Undine attacks.

If the players are able to defeat all three Planet Killers within 10 minutes, a Voth fleet arrives to attempt to retake the zone. Players have 5 minutes to defeat as many Voth as possible before they retreat.

Rewards
For each captured point, the highest reward players can receive is: 10 + 60 ''.

Based on how many planet killers are defeated, completing the Battlezone will reward the following:
 * With one planet killer defeated, at least:
 * Isomorphic Injection icon.png 1 Isomorphic Injection
 * 5 Undine Marks
 * 60 Dilithium Ore


 * With two planet killers defeated, at least:
 * Isomorphic Injection icon.png 2 Isomorphic Injections
 * 10 Undine Marks
 * 120 Dilithium Ore


 * With three planet killers defeated, at least:
 * Isomorphic Injection icon.png 3 Isomorphic Injections
 * 15 Undine Marks
 * 240 Dilithium Ore

A bonus will be added to the final objective reward based upon the number of points player captured. The point capture credit is stored until the player completes the Battlezone, and then it is reset.
