The Dyson Joint Command’s engineering and scientific efforts within the Solanae Dyson Sphere have yielded incredible results. The Starfleet Corps of Engineers has been able to adapt the astonishing discoveries found at this artificial celestial structure to create starships that are inspired by the designs found at the sphere, but do not require the use of Omega particles. The Dyson Science Destroyers are first and foremost science vessels, but each is capable of entering Tactical Mode to significantly alter how the starship performs.
The Starfleet Dyson Science Destroyer variants aren’t as sturdy as the Klingon Defense Force’s models, or stealthy as the Romulan Republic’s, but they have a slightly higher shield modifier to compensate.
Below are the base stats shared by all three variants of the Starfleet Advanced Dyson Science Destroyers:

Tactical Mode
The Montgomery Class is an upgraded variant of the Dyson Science Destroyer. It features an additional Tactical console mod slot, improved hull and shield rating and comes equipped with the Proton Destabilizer Module Universal Console. This console allows you to draw power from your warp core to emit a devastating proton beam from your deflector focused on a nearby enemy. Periodically arcing waves of proton energy will lash out at foes nearby your targeted enemy dealing damage to all enemies affected.
Specific Class Stats (in addition to the base stats listed above)
Console Modifications: 4 Tactical, 2 Engineering, 4 Science
Console – Universal – Proton Destabilizer Module
The Omega Class is an upgraded variant of the Dyson Science Destroyer. It features an additional Engineering console mod slot, improved hull and shield rating and comes equipped with the Protonic Shielding Matrix Universal Console. This console allows your Dyson class starship to store and then divert tremendous amounts of proton particles to periodically reinforce your shields for a while. This will cause your starship to negate large amounts of damage every few seconds for a short time.
Specific Class Stats (in addition to the base stats listed above)
Console Modifications: 3 Tactical, 3 Engineering, 4 Science
Console – Universal – Protonic Shield Matrix
The Helios Class is an upgraded variant of the Dyson Science Destroyer. It features an additional Science console mod slot, improved hull and shield rating and comes equipped with the Shield Inversion Projector Universal Console. This console allows your Dyson class starship to emit a devastating tachyon beam blast from your deflector, you can cause your foe’s shields to briefly collapse in a wave of energy. The affected enemy will have their shields weakened and suffer heavy shield and hull damage. Allies within the wave will receive a large amount of shield healing.
Specific Class Stats (in addition to the base stats listed above)
Console Modifications: 3 Tactical, 2 Engineering, 5 Science
Console – Universal – Shield Inversion Projector
Tactical Mode
By default the Dyson Science Destroyer is a Science Vessel. However, activating the Tactical Mode ability the starship will transform. Many science systems will be disabled or altered while some tactical systems will become active. When activating Tactical Mode the following occurs:
Enables Dual Heavy Proton Cannon
+15 Weapon Power
+Turn Rate
+Impulse Speed
+Inertia
Lt. Commander Tactical Bridge Officer seat is upgrade to Commander Tactical
Commander Science Bridge Officer seat is downgraded to Lt. Commander Science
Secondary Deflector is disabled
Sensor Analysis is disabled
Subsystem Targeting is disabled
-15 Aux Power
Tactical Mode may be deactivated at any time to return to the default Science Mode, but doing so incurs a 60 second cooldown on the transformation back to Tactical Mode.
Solanae Dual Heavy Proton Cannons [Acc] [CrtH]x2 (Very Rare)
These devastating weapons are only available when the Dyson Science Destroyer is in Tactical Mode and are built into the ship. They cannot be removed. When in tactical mode, the starship effectively has 4 Fore and 3 Aft weapon slots with one of the Fore slots automatically taken by the Solanae Dual Heavy Proton Cannons. These experimental weapons are already balanced to do comparable damage to more conventional energy types, and can be further enhanced by Consoles which enhance Cannons and/or Proton Damage.
Solanae Advanced Technologies Set
The above consoles and the Solanae Secondary Deflector (found on the Anniversary reward Dyson ships) make up the 4 piece Solanae Advanced Technologies Set. Collecting and equipping all four pieces from this set will empower the powers provided by the consoles listed above. Below are the three set bonuses provided by the Solanae Advanced Technologies Set:
Solanae Energy Lattice (2 piece bonus)
Self: +Proton Damage
Self: +Starship Shield System (Shield Max HP)
Proton Energy Matrix (3 piece bonus)
Reduces the cooldown on Dyson Science Destroyer console powers by 1 minute. This affects:
Destabilized Proton Beam
Protonic Shielding
Shield Inversion
Solanae Synergy (4 piece bonus)
Upgrades all three Dyson Science Destroyer console powers:
Destabilized Proton Beam: Will deal its damage over time much more quickly.
Protonic Shielding: Activating this ability also heals shields of allies within 5km
Shield Inversion: Allies affected also receive a shield hardness buff and shield heal over time
