The Iconian Resistance is an alliance comprised of forces throughout the Alpha, Beta, and Delta Quadrants. These three forces have banded together to create a unified front against the Iconians and their servitor races. Their sole purpose is to prevent the Iconians from subjugating our galaxy once more.

This new reputation will become available with Season 10’s release and will feature all new traits, kit modules, space equipment sets and a ground equipment set.

Progression

Increasing your standing with the Iconian Resistance will require the submission of Iconian Marks. These can be earned by completing repeatable queued events featuring Iconian Heralds, such as: Gateway to Gre’thor, Brotherhood of the Sword and The Herald Sphere. Each of these missions allow for scaling rewards, increasing the amount of Iconian Marks received if you are able to perform above expectations and/or complete bonus objectives.

Iconian Probe Datacores can also be earned by participating in the Advanced and Elite versions of any queued event which rewards Iconian Marks. Iconian Probe Datacores recovered from the wreckage of Iconian Probes have revealed a great deal about the strengths and weaknesses of the Iconians and their Heralds. High-end gear projects will require a small amount of Iconian Probe Datacores in order to claim the best equipment that the Iconian Resistance has to offer. They may also be submitted to the Iconian Resistance in return for Dilithium Ore.

Rewards

Iconian Marks and Iconian Probe Datacores can be submitted for both Reputation XP and new, high-quality gear acquisitions. Here are a few examples of the items that can be earned by advancing your standing with the Iconian Resistance:
