Eleven of Eleven in Star Trek Fleet Command
Eleven of Eleven is an epic Science officer and one of the Unimatrix Twelve Borg drones. Players chase him for one specific job: speeding up crystal mining when he sits in the captain’s chair.
His officer ability adds warp speed, which makes him useful beyond mining for any ship that needs to cross the map faster. That puts him squarely in the economy and utility group rather than the combat roster.
This guide covers what his abilities do, where he fits, how his ranks and traits scale, and how he crews with the rest of the Unimatrix Twelve drones.
Star Trek background
Eleven of Eleven belongs to the Borg, the cybernetic collective that runs through The Next Generation, Voyager, and First Contact. The Borg assimilate people and technology into a single hive mind, stripping away individual identity and assigning each drone a number based on its place within a unimatrix. A name like Eleven of Eleven is a designation, not a person.
In the game’s story, this drone was once Barot, a Klingon who turned away from the warrior culture of his people to pursue knowledge and a quieter life. He accepted being an outsider among Klingons and was at peace with that choice. The path ended when the Borg assimilated him and folded his intellect into the collective.
The character fits Star Trek’s larger picture of the Borg as a threat that grows stronger from everyone it takes. A Klingon who valued learning over honor became one more drone, and the knowledge he chased now serves the hive. That theme of assimilation turning a single mind into collective efficiency is the canon backdrop for his mining and warp focus in the game.
Role in STFC
Eleven of Eleven is built for the economy side of the game. His captain maneuver raises crystal mining speed, so the clearest use is parking a mining ship on a crystal node with him in the chair and shortening the time it takes to fill the hold.
His officer ability works from any bridge seat and raises warp speed, which shortens travel between systems. That helps mining runs, survey trips, and any moment you want a ship to reach its destination sooner. Warp speed is easy to overlook, but on a busy map it adds up across a play session.
As a Science-class officer, he also feeds the Science side of crew synergy bonuses, which matters when you build a bridge around a shared class. He is a neutral-faction officer, so using him costs you no faction reputation and creates no penalty with the Föderation, Klingons, or Romulans.
Captain ability and officer ability
Efficient Crystal Acquisition (captain maneuver)
When Eleven of Eleven is captain, Efficient Crystal Acquisition increases crystal mining speed by 60% as of the latest Daten. Put him in the captain’s chair on a mining ship working a crystal node and the node empties into your cargo faster, which means more crystal per trip and fewer trips overall.
The bonus applies to crystal specifically, so he is a targeted mining captain rather than a general one. If you are farming crystal for refining or for building and research costs, his seat pays off directly. For mining other materials, a different captain will serve you better.
Advanced Warp Theory (officer ability)
Advanced Warp Theory raises warp speed while Eleven of Eleven is anywhere on the bridge. The bonus grows as you promote him through his ranks. Current as of the latest game data, it scales like this:
| Rang | Warp speed bonus |
|---|---|
| 1 | 30% |
| 2 | 35% |
| 3 | 40% |
| 4 | 45% |
| 5 | 50% |
Because this works from any officer seat, you can keep the warp bonus active under a different captain. That lets you run another captain maneuver while still getting faster travel, which is handy when Eleven of Eleven is supporting rather than leading the crew.
Where Eleven of Eleven shines
A few situations make good use of him:
- Crystal mining, with Eleven of Eleven as captain on a dedicated mining ship to cut the time spent on each node.
- Faster map movement, using his warp bonus on the bridge of a mining or survey ship so trips to and from nodes take less time.
- Unimatrix Twelve crews, where he stacks group synergy with the other drones described below.
A common setup is to keep him as captain for the crystal speed and fill the remaining seats with Offiziere that add cargo size, protected cargo, or extra mining speed. The captain bonus shortens the mine, the cargo officers let you haul more before returning, and the warp bonus trims the travel time on both ends.
He is an economy and utility officer, so do not expect him to carry combat crews. His value is the time he saves on the mining and travel side of the game, which is real but easy to undervalue if you only think about battles.
How to get Eleven of Eleven
Eleven of Eleven is an epic officer, so his shards usually come from events and store rotations rather than a steady, reliable source. Availability shifts often, so check the current event calendar and store rotations in your game to see where his shards are dropping right now.
Reaching max rank takes 1,725 shards in total, which is a sizable ask for an economy officer. Plan the pull around whether crystal speed and warp utility fit how you actually play, rather than collecting him because he completes the Unimatrix Twelve set.
Synergy and crew building
Eleven of Eleven carries class synergy bonuses of 45% Command, 45% Engineering, and 30% Science. When you build a bridge that shares a class, those percentages feed the crew’s synergy, with the Command and Engineering seats picking up the larger share.
His named synergy partners are the rest of the Unimatrix Twelve drones. Pairing him with these officers raises the group bonus:
- Einer von elf: 45%
- Zwei von elf: 30%
- Drei von elf: 45%
- Vier von elf: 45%
- Fünf von elf: 45%
- Sechs von elf: 45%
- Sieben von elf: 30%
- Acht von Elf: 45%
- Neun von elf: 45%
- Zehn von elf: 45%
Beyond the named drones, keep crew choices tied to the job at hand. For a mining run that means cargo and mining-speed officers in the non-captain seats. The synergy list tells you which drones reward building around the group, but the mining math still decides who actually earns a seat.
Character traits
Eleven of Eleven unlocks three traits in a set order, and you have to finish one before the next opens. The numbers below are the officer XP each level costs:
| Merkmal | Officer XP per level |
|---|---|
| Assimilated (3 levels) | 1,500 / 2,700 / 3,800 |
| Miner (4 levels) | 7,650 / 6,000 / 7,000 / 8,850 |
| Specialist (9 levels) | 10,000 / 4,000 / 7,000 / 10,000 / 15,000 / 23,000 / 42,000 / 68,000 / 107,000 |
Assimilated and Miner are quick by comparison. Specialist is the heavy one: its later levels climb steeply, with the final level alone costing 107,000 officer XP, so finishing his traits in full is a long-term project rather than a quick boost.
Upgrade and shard costs
Promoting Eleven of Eleven through his five ranks takes the shards below, alongside Independent Credits, Active Nanoprobes, and Science Badges at the higher ranks:
| Rang | Shards to promote | Max level |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Ensign) | 115 | 5 |
| 2 (Lt. JG) | 115 | 10 |
| 3 (Lieutenant) | 230 | 15 |
| 4 (Lt. Commander) | 345 | 20 |
| 5 (Commander) | 920 | 30 |
That adds up to 1,725 shards from recruitment to max rank. The credit and material costs rise sharply at ranks four and five, so build up a reserve before committing to the final promotions.
Frequently asked questions
Is Eleven of Eleven any good?
For crystal mining and faster travel, yes. His captain bonus to crystal mining speed and his warp speed officer ability save real time if you mine crystal often. For combat crews, he is not the pick.
Where do you get Eleven of Eleven shards?
His shards come from limited sources such as events and store rotations, which change over time. Check the current event and store availability in your game to find where they are dropping now.
What ship is Eleven of Eleven best on?
A mining ship working crystal nodes, with him in the captain’s chair for the crystal speed bonus. His warp ability also helps any ship that needs to reach systems faster, so he can ride along on survey ships too.
Is Eleven of Eleven worth ranking up?
If crystal is a resource you farm regularly, the captain bonus and the warp scaling make the ranks worthwhile. At 1,725 total shards, weigh him against officers you use across more of the game before going all in.
What class and group is Eleven of Eleven?
He is an epic Science officer in the Unimatrix Twelve group, with a neutral faction, so he carries no reputation requirement to use.
Should you chase Eleven of Eleven?
Eleven of Eleven rewards players who mine crystal and want their ships moving faster across the map. If that matches your routine, his captain seat and warp bonus earn their place on a mining crew. If you mostly fight, your shards are better spent on officers that show up in combat.
