New borg set items

Simple question - how do you get them?

There is an officer at ESD by the admirals office that will exchange the various items so that you can purchase them - This I understand

Right next to that officer are vendors that sell the items for these special tokes the officer gives you - This I understand

What I still have yet to understand is items needed so that you can trade with the Officer for MK XII items.
I know have mentioned this in other posts but I have not really received any good answers. So I'm dedicating this post to the topic.

We know that you can only get these doing the STFs. Below is a list of what I know, if someone could fill in the blanks that would be great.

Uncommon Encrypted Data
Drops for killing borg and end mission reward. Used to purchase MK X and MK XI purple items
In normal and Elite STFs

Rare Borg Salvage
Drops for killing borg and end mission reward. Used to purchase MK XI items purple
In normal and Elite STFs

Blank - need help with this one
Drops for "blank". Used to purchase MK XII purple items. The special elite sets - which someone pointed are not as good as the current Borg set on holodeck.
I will assume only in Elite STF missions?


Help?

    i was confused too so i made a list:

    uncommons: 20 make a mk10 requisition, 30 for a mk10 set requisition, 40 for a mk11 req., 60 for a mk11 set.

    rares: 1 for mk10, 2 for mk11

    prototype: 1 for mk12

    then theres tech pieces for each rarity, green for mk10 set, blue for mk11 set, purple for mk12 set. good luck finding these though-ive only gotten 3, and thats been 2 engines and one shield

    The borg 'set items' are listed under Special Reserve. For Federation, you can get either the Elite Strike Force or the Kellerun set. There are both ground and space versions, and they each come in mark X (Recruit), mark XI (Veteran), and mark XII (elite).

    To get a mark X set piece, you need 30 encrypted data chips, OR 1 Tech drop.
    To get a mark XI set piece, you need 60 EDCs, OR 1 rare Tech drop.
    To get a mark XII set piece, you need 1 tech drop from running Elite version of STF.

    The Rare Borg Salvage cannot be turned in for the set gear. It can only be turned in for 'Standard Issue' gear.

    So I guess my last question is how often do the Tech Drops drop in normal and Elite? I have about 11 rare salvage and 67 Encrypted data - so I have done a fair amount of the STFS. I have never seen a tech drop yet.

    Is this normal?

    Sounds a bit unlucky. Ive had the tokens for the following drop:

    1 mk xi Engine
    1 mk x Engine
    1 mk x Shield
    2 mk xi Shield
    1 mk x Personal Shield
    1 mk x Personal Armor

    Ive run quite a few but I think lately the drop rate for the set pieces tokens has been lowered. I havent seen one in ages.

    Not at the moment, but as I understand it they'll be adding the borg set to the STF vendors. Hopefully as another set you can get the same way you would get the others.

    So that probably explains it. I didnt do any STFs util i got my character up to VA and now they must have changed how often those tech drops come up.
