The Borg Solo Armada hostiles in STFC can only be found in specific systems, each of which has a warp requirement that you have to meet.
As you progress in Star Trek Fleet Command (STFC) you will get the opportunity to defeat Armada hostiles.
You can either participate in a Group Armanda, which requires that Alliance members collaborate to destroy the enemy, or in a Solo Armada.
Similar to the Group Armada, you need a specific directive to begin a Solo Armada. However, a Solo Armada can only be completed by 1 Commander which controls 3 different ships with unique crews.
Players should note that a Borg Solo Armada cannot be started in just any system. You have to travel to specific systems to use the directive in order to summon the Borg Solo Armada.
The following table lists the systems in which you can summon a Borg Solo Armada:
| Name | Warp requirement |
| Atraxi | 35 |
| Megnomis | 35 |
| Petoran | 40 |
| Efros | 80 |
| Torovin | 80 |
| Thora-Beta-6 | 160 |
| Thora-Omega-2 | 205 |
| Orin-Theta-12 | 205 |
| Orin-Sigma-9 | 430 |
As the table indicates, low-level players will not be able to travel to a Borg Solo Armada system to vanquish the hostile from the galaxy as their warp ranges are too low.
Several Commanders meet the warp range requirement to travel to some of the mentioned systems, but before traveling, we recommend that you ensure that your crews and vessels are fully upgraded.
Once you have traveled to a Borg Solo Armada system, you can use the directive to summon the hostile. You have to use all 3 of your vessels to take down your opponent and earn rewards.
Borg Spheres
Before you travel to one of the Borg Solo Armada Systems, we recommend that you decide what enemy level you want to attack.
There are different levels of Borg Spheres that you can attack, and we advise Commanders to attack the enemy that corresponds with their levels at the time.
The enemy’s level determines the system in which it spawns. The following table lists the systems in which you can find certain levels:
| Level | Systems |
| 35 |
|
| 41 |
|
| 42 |

| 43 |

Collective Thinking
Similar to other hostiles in STFC, the Borg Solo Armada has abilities that can be used during the battle. Although their levels differ, their abilities remain the same for all Borg Solo Armadas.
According to the ability description, the Borg’s strength lies in their single mindedness.
Commanders have to research the Translink Disruptor in the Combat Research Tree to disable Borg Communications. If you complete this research node, you will also increase your combat power against the Borg Solo Armadas.
Keep in mind that if you do not defeat the Borg Solo Armadas, they will regenerate their hull health to maximum capacity. If this happens, your chances of defeating the hostile decrease significantly.
Directives
Before traveling to one of the Borg Solo Armad systems, you have to obtain Directives to summon the hostile.
Commanders can purchase 100 Regular Directives on a daily basis if they have a tier 9 Vi’dar. But if your vessel is below tier 9, you will only receive 9 directives.
Players whose Vi’dars are below tier 9 should not purchase the Directives as they will be wasting resources.
After destroying the Armadas, you can exchange your loot from a chest, which contains 100 Rare Directives. If you successfully vanquish a Rare Armada, you can obtain 200 Epic Directives.
Commanders therefore have to begin by defeating Regular Borg Solo Armadas to gain the Directives which are required to summon an Epic Armada.
Which crews should you use?
Although you can use any crew against the Borg Solo Armadas, this is not recommended as some crew combinations are considered better than others.
The following table lists some of the crew combinations that you can use:
| Strength | Crew |
| Very strong |
|
| Strong |
|
| Average |
|
| Very Weak |
