The Borg Type 03.0 is a Q-Continuum solo armada in Star Trek Fleet Command, fought at levels 42 to 50 in Continuum space. It is an armada target rather than a roaming ship, so you take it down with one strong armada ship or a formed armada instead of chasing a hull counter. It drops Borg Type 03 Solo Armada Credits, and its Defense Protocol fires a lethal Cutting Beam on the second weapon of every round, so bring heavy survivability.
How to beat the Borg Type 03.0
Because this is a solo armada, there is no Interceptor, Battleship, or Explorer variant to counter. You hit it with one strong armada-capable ship (or a formed armada if your alliance runs them together). It runs as a single-slot solo armada with no round limit, so one player can clear it without filling the other slots, and your armada buffs stay active for the whole fight. The Borg Type 03 armadas live in Continuum space and are built around the SS Revenant, so that ship is the natural pick once you have it leveled. Any well-crewed armada ship that can survive several rounds will work at the lower levels.
The Borg Type 03.0 has an always-active ability, Defense Protocol α: on the second weapon of every round it fires its Cutting Beam and deals lethal damage to your ship. That means every round lands a heavy hit no matter how well you mitigate, so favor raw survivability and a quick kill over a long grind. Because the ability is tied to the second weapon each round, the longer the fight drags on the more of those Cutting Beam hits you absorb, which is another reason to bring enough damage to end the fight fast. Crew for it the way you crew any armada target: a captain that raises your weapon damage against hostiles, backed by officers that add damage or mitigation. Crews shift with the meta, so check the Officer Tier List for current picks before you commit shards.
Where to find the Borg Type 03.0
The Borg Type 03.0 sits at one level per system across Continuum space, climbing from level 42 up to level 50. Each system holds a single level of the armada, so you pick the system that matches the level you are farming. Warp requirements rise with the level, from warp 105 at the lowest system to warp 195 at the top, so set your minimum warp to reach the level you want and check that your ship can make the jump before you commit.
| Ebene | Warp | Systeme |
|---|---|---|
| 42 | 105 | Nova Kron |
| 44 | 150 | Ephemeris |
| 46 | 170 | Brikker |
| 48 | 190 | Gilmour |
| 50 | 195 | Osbor |
Rewards and what it drops
The Borg Type 03.0 pays out Borg Type 03 Solo Armada Credits, the currency you spend on Borg Type 03 rewards. The amount per kill scales with the armada level, from 85 at the low end to 330 at level 50. Ship XP also climbs with level, so higher systems return more progress toward your ship tiers per run.

Borg Type 03.0 stats
Stats climb steeply with level, so the jump from level 42 to level 50 is large. Total strength alone grows by more than sixteen times across that span, and hull and shield health rise with it, while attack and defense climb at a gentler pace. These anchor rows show the low, mid, and high ends of the range so you can gauge how much ship you need before you engage a given level.
| Ebene | Total strength | Hull HP | Shield HP | Angriff | Verteidigung | Ship XP |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 42 | 270,632,948,453 | 432,983,357,758 | 108,245,839,439 | 15,933,144 | 2,416,710 | 1,750 |

Borg Type 03.0 firing pattern
The Borg Type 03.0 fires four weapons every round: three Energy weapons and one heavy Kinetic weapon. The Kinetic shot lands a flat two million damage, so it is the hit to plan your mitigation and repairs around, and both weapon groups fire every round with no gaps.
| Weapon type | Count | Damage per shot | Fires | Crit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Energie | 3 | 416,962 to 776,949 | Every round | 10% (1.5x) |
| Kinetic | 1 | 2,000,000 | Every round | 10% (1.5x) |
The Q in Star Trek
The Q are near-omnipotent beings from an extra-dimensional plane called the Q Continuum. The most familiar Q first appeared in “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” where he put humanity on trial and needled Captain Picard across the series as a trickster who could bend space, time, and matter at will. The Continuum itself is a society of these beings, largely beyond human understanding. Q Junior, who taunts you in this encounter, is Q’s son, introduced in “Star Trek: Voyager” as a reckless young Q learning to use his powers. Framing these armadas as a Continuum test fits that lore.
Is the Borg Type 03.0 worth grinding?
Yes, if you are working through Continuum space and need Borg Type 03 Solo Armada Credits or the ship XP the higher levels return. As the 03.0 stage it is the entry rung of the Borg Type 03 line, so it is the most approachable of the three before you move up. Match your warp to the level you want, bring an armada-ready ship with strong survivability, and plan for that Cutting Beam hit each round. For more targets like this, see the Solo Armadas guide.
