Die Conqueror Borg Obliterator is a Conqueror Borg hostile that spawns from level 55 up to level 80 in Assimilated systems. It only appears as an Explorer and drops Broken Explorer Parts, with the star tier scaling by level: 5★ parts at levels 55–59, 6★ at 61–70, and 7★ at 71–80. The catch: its Hyperthermic Resonance Beam destroys any player ship that is not a Borg Sphere, so this is a Borg Sphere fight at every level. Leave Kathryn Janeway, Christopher Pike, and Enterprise-E Picard off the crew, because its assimilation ability destroys your ship if any of them are aboard.
How to beat the Conqueror Borg Obliterator
The Obliterator only spawns as an Explorer, so under normal counter rules a Battleship would be the pick, with nothing to swap between levels. Normal rules do not apply here. Its abilities decide the fight before class matchups ever come into play.
Every level carries Hyperthermic Resonance Beam: the ship has an 80% chance of applying 100% Hyperthermic Decay at the start of combat, and it immediately destroys any player ship that is not a Borg Sphere. That makes the Borg Sphere, an acquirable ship in STFC, mandatory for this grind. Sending your best Battleship instead just donates it at the opening of combat.
It also runs an assimilation ability that punishes specific Offiziere, and it escalates as you climb. At every level, if Kathryn Janeway, Christopher Pike, or Enterprise-E Picard is present on your crew, the hostile destroys your ship. The version changes by band: Evolutionary Assimilation I at level 55 is just the officer trap, II at 57–59 adds 10,000 Apex Barrier, III at 61–70 adds 50,000 Apex Barrier and 225% Critical Damage, and IV at 71–80 stacks another 25% Critical Chance on top. In plain terms, the Obliterator gets much harder to crack and hits far more viciously from level 61 up. Whatever crew you fly, those three officers stay home.
Beyond those two restrictions, crewing follows the usual anti-hostile principle: a captain whose ability boosts weapon damage against hostiles, backed by officers that add more damage or mitigation. Cadet crews are long since outleveled at this range. Check the officer tier list for current picks, and expect recommendations to shift as the meta changes.
Where to find the Conqueror Borg Obliterator
The Obliterator ladders through Assimilated space, starting in Assimilated Sirius, Sol, Tellar, and Wolf at level 55 and topping out in Assimilated Vulcan at level 80. Warp range is the real gatekeeper: 320 gets you into the level 55 systems, and the requirement climbs all the way to 6,000 at level 80, so check your range before setting course.

Rewards and what it drops
Every kill pays out Broken Explorer Parts, and the star tier follows the level band, so you farm the band that matches the parts you need. Ship XP is a flat 957 per kill at every level, so climbing higher earns better parts but no extra XP.
| Ablegen | Ebenen | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| 5★ Broken Explorer Parts (800–3,028) | 55–59 | A late-game material used in building and upgrading high-grade Explorer-class ships |
| 6★ Broken Explorer Parts (3,526–50,254) | 61–70 | The next parts tier up, for higher-grade Explorer construction |
| 7★ Broken Explorer Parts (1,188–9,766) | 71–80 | The top parts tier in this range, for the highest-grade Explorers |
| Ship XP (957) | Alle | Experience for the ship that lands the kill, flat across all levels |
Conqueror Borg Obliterator stats
The Obliterator has a single hull variant, so the spread below is pure level scaling, and it is brutal: total strength goes from billions at level 55 to quadrillions at level 80.
| Ebene | Total strength | Hull HP | Shield HP | Angriff | Verteidigung | Ship XP |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 55 | 8,881,301,990 | 11,670,578,800 | 875,279,640 | 273,518,870 | 2,334,853,900 | 957 |

The Borg in Star Trek
The Borg are a collective of cybernetic drones that assimilate other species and their technology into a single hive mind. The Föderation first met them in The Next Generation episode “Q Who,” and the encounter went badly: a single Borg cube later destroyed 39 starships at Wolf 359 after assimilating Captain Picard as Locutus. Voyager spent years crossing Borg territory, introducing the Borg Queen and liberating the drone Sieben von Neun. Their greeting doubles as their mission statement: “Resistance is futile.” The Conqueror Borg hostiles in Star Trek Fleet Befehl carry that same threat into the game’s endgame space.
Is the Conqueror Borg Obliterator worth grinding?
Yes, once you have a Borg Sphere. It exists for one purpose: farming Broken Explorer Parts for late-game Explorer construction, and the 5★, 6★, and 7★ bands let one hostile cover the whole parts ladder. XP is flat, so fight in the band that drops the tier you actually need, at the highest level your Sphere can safely handle. Before each run, match your warp range to the system (320 at level 55, 6,000 at 80) and double-check the crew screen: one misplaced Janeway, Pike, or Enterprise-E Picard turns the grind into a rebuild.
