<\/span>Who Data is in Star Trek Fleet Command<\/span><\/h2>\n

Data is an epic Science officer from the TNG crew, and he is one of the better picks for players who spend their time fighting hostiles, armadas, and mission targets. His value sits in one idea: he makes your weapons hit harder and land more reliably against anything that is not another player.<\/p>\n

He belongs to the F\u00f6derationsfraktion<\/a> and sits in the same TNG group as the rest of the Enterprise-D bridge. If you grind hostiles for loot, clear mission combat, or run armadas, Data earns a seat quickly.<\/p>\n

This guide covers his two abilities, his character traits and what they cost, how his shard and promotion costs scale, and which Offiziere<\/a> pair with him.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Star Trek background<\/span><\/h2>\n

Lieutenant Commander Data is a Soong-type android, the first of his kind to serve in Starfleet. Doctor Noonien Soong built him in the 2330s and gave him a positronic brain, which makes him far stronger and faster than a human and able to process information at a speed no organic crew member can match.<\/p>\n

Across Star Trek: The Next Generation, Data works as second officer and chief Operationen<\/a> officer aboard the USS Enterprise-D under Captain Picard. Much of his story follows his wish to understand humanity. He studies emotion, paints, plays the violin, and even builds an android daughter, Lal. His rights as a sentient being drive one of the show’s best-known episodes, “The Measure of a Man.” He later gives his life to save the Enterprise-E crew in Star Trek Nemesis.<\/p>\n

That history is why STFC files him under Science. He is the analyst and problem-solver of the crew, and the game leans on his precision rather than brute aggression.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Role in STFC<\/span><\/h2>\n

Data is a player-versus-environment combat officer. Everything useful he does aims at non-player targets, which in STFC means hostiles, armada targets, and mission combat enemies. Against another player’s ship his abilities do nothing, so treat him as a farming and grinding officer, not a PvP pick.<\/p>\n

His officer ability boosts your ship’s piercing and accuracy, and his captain ability raises critical hit chance against the same target types. Together they push more of your damage through enemy defenses and make your shots land, which shortens hostile and armada fights. For a mid-game player working through faction grinds or a daily hostile route, that adds up to faster clears and less repair downtime.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Data’s abilities<\/span><\/h2>\n

Officer ability: Effort Yields Its Own Rewards<\/h3>\n

When Data sits on the bridge and you fight non-player targets, including mission hostiles, he increases your Armor Piercing, Shield Piercing, and Accuracy. The bonus grows each time you promote him, and it gets large at higher ranks. Two independent sources report the same progression, so here are the per-rank values, current as of the latest game data:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Rang<\/th>\nPiercing and accuracy bonus<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
1<\/td>\n60%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2<\/td>\n120%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
3<\/td>\n180%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
4<\/td>\n240%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
5<\/td>\n300%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Higher piercing means more of your weapon damage gets past enemy armor and shields, and higher accuracy means fewer wasted shots. That combination is what makes Data a strong officer-slot pick on hostile-hunting and armada ships.<\/p>\n

Captain ability: Positronic Precision<\/h3>\n

With Data in the captain’s chair, your ship lands more critical hits against Hostiles and Armadas. The bonus to critical hit chance is 17% as of the latest data. More crits means more burst damage, which works well with his piercing buff when he rides the bridge of a strong combat ship.<\/p>\n

One note on placement: both his captain ability and his officer ability target hostiles and armadas, so he pulls weight in either seat depending on what the rest of your crew needs.<\/p>\n
