They are mined in Voyager Space, a pocket of the Delta Quadrant you can only enter with Voyager Travel Tokens, and they exchange for some of the best ship-part payouts in the mid-to-late game. One disambiguation before anything else: Anomaly Samples have nothing to do with Galactic Anomalies, the temporary system modifiers Update 92 added to Territory space in June 2026.

They also pay Circuitry Fragments, with a chance of Isolytic artifact shards on top.

Anomaly Samples are a mineable resource from the 2023 Voyager arc. The names are similar; the features never touch.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do I get Voyager Travel Tokens?<\/strong><br \/>\nKill Species 8472 hostiles for Exotic Biotoxins and refine those into tokens. Revealing Species 8472 in the first place takes Deuterium Canisters from Hirogen relic refines.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the difference between Common and Rare Anomaly Samples?<\/strong><br \/>\nRarity gates the exchanges: the richer bundles ask for Rare samples. Check both exchange tabs before a mining trip so you farm the type you actually need.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When should I start the loop?<\/strong><br \/>\nHirogen hunting pays from Ops 30, when Voyager blueprints enter the relic refine. The full loop through Voyager Space matters most from Ops 34+, once the Voyager is buildable and the 4\u2605\/5\u2605 part exchanges line up with the ships you own.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to mine Anomaly Samples in Star Trek Fleet Command: the Voyager Space loop from Hirogen relics to travel tokens, the FSEP systems, and the exchanges.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[113],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-27993","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-resources"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27993","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27993"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27993\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28009,"href":"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27993\/revisions\/28009"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27993"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27993"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27993"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
