A Beam Too Far is a five-part Strange New Worlds mission chain in Star Trek Fleet Command, built around Hemmer. It begins in Utoqa, where you help calibrate the ship’s transporter, and turns into a search for Hemmer, some dirty work for the Tal’lah-Hed Dah and finally a prison break in Majalan. All five parts are recommended for level 15, and warp to complete runs from 11 to 15. The finale pays SNW Hemmer shards and 56,000 Officer XP. It is a short, low-level chain that is worth doing early.

Tips for completing A Beam Too Far
A level 15 ship with warp 15 covers the whole chain. Parts 1 and 2 finish at warp 11, Part 3 at 13, and the last two at 15, so there is no big jump to plan around.
Every named enemy sits between about 11,200 and 11,500 strength. The only real difficulty spike is Part 5, where you fight three of them back to back in Majalan; go in at full health and repair between fights if you need to.
Part 2 asks for 2,500 G2 Raw Crystal. Mine or save it before you reach Shen Dura so the part does not stall on the donation.
Part 3’s shipyard choice only changes the rewards. Pick the Boslic yard in Jishui if you want 2★ Battleship Parts and Raw Crystal, or the Pakled yard in Pune for 2★ Explorer Parts and Raw Ore. Both require 10 kills against level 16 or higher hostiles, one level above the chain’s recommended level.

Are the A Beam Too Far rewards worth it?
Yes, mainly for Hemmer. The SNW Hemmer shards in Part 5 are the reason to run this chain, and the 56,000 Officer XP that comes with them goes a long way at level 15. The earlier parts pay 2★ ship parts, raw resources and a little Parsteel and Tritanium, which is useful but modest. With low warp and enemies around 11,000 strength, the whole chain goes quickly for a level 15 commander.
