Trivia

• The Umbra Overseer reveals the Behemoth Dreadnought via Fragment drops in the Alliance War that took place on 27 September.
• Umbra Miscreants and Umbra Breachers spawned for a short period of time on Thursday November 15, as a sneak peek for the community at an alternative method to earn more fragments for Umbra weapons. They were pulled soon after but later returned.

• KIXEYE doubled the drop rate of Behemoth Dreadnought patterns for 12 December 2018, 25–28 February 2019 and 15–18 July 2019 as an incentive to get players to farm for the Behemoth Dreadnought.
• The loot table for Dreadnought grind targets was changed to a 2-tier system in April: once the player has received 1,000 fragments for a particular mark level (just enough for an upgrade credit), the fleet will thereafter drop elements instead.
• The Umbra Overseer, Umbra Breacher and Umbra Miscreant were originally found in the Residential Sector before the introduction of Deep Space.
