Tarka’s Isolytic Weapon is a new Forbidden Tech that you can unlock in STFC to help you conquer the new Gorn Hunters.
Star Trek Fleet Command recently announced update 65, which is also referred to as part 1 of the Gorn Invasion.
This update introduces the new Gorn enemies, several new Officers, an array of Refits, Forbidden Tech, Artifacts as well as a new building known as the War Room.
Forbidden Technology is a set of dangerous collectibles that you can add to your arsenal to bolster your ship’s capabilities.
It is worth noting that only players level 19 and higher can use the parts required to unlock a specific Forbidden Technology.
Update 65 introduced a new Forbidden Tech – Tarka’s Isolytic Weapon. It increases your base Isolytic Damage when fighting Gorn Hunters and it also increases your base Hull Health for all of your vessels.
Furthermore, Tarka’s Isolytic Weapon increases Isolytic Defense and Damage when you are fighting any hostile.
In addition to these buffs, this Forbidden Tech provides players with a daily source of Isolytic Artifact Tokens which increase with each tier.
Tarka’s Isolytic Weapon can definitely help you conquer the new Gorn enemies, however, you can still defeat them without using the Forbidden Tech.

Unfortunately, Scopely has yet to announce whether free-to-play players will be able to acquire Tarka’s Isolytic Weapon or not.
Gorn Hunters
