A Line in the Sand is a level 75 Romulan mission in Star Trek Fleet Command in which the Zhat Vash request your presence. It is picked up in Yagn’Ohn and needs warp 3,500 to start and to complete, with the meeting in Oscuma. The meeting turns into two fights back to back, at about 31.5 and 32.3 trillion strength, before you warn the Order. There is no donation. The reward is 133,000 Σ-Tritanium, 140,000 7★ Broken Battleship Parts and 1,100 Σ-Romulan Credits. It is the most combat-heavy level 75 Romulan mission, with a middling payout.
A Line in the Sand objectives
There are five objectives and no choice split:
- Confront the ship.
- Meet with the Zhat Vash. Location: Oscuma.
- Fight your way out. Location: Oscuma (enemy strength about 31.5 trillion).
- Defeat the other ship. Location: Oscuma (enemy strength about 32.3 trillion).
- Warn the Order. Location: Yagn’Ohn.
The first step has no location attached. The meeting with the Zhat Vash in Oscuma goes wrong, and you have to fight your way out and then beat a second ship. The mission ends back in Yagn’Ohn, where you warn the Order.
Where and what warp
The pickup system is Yagn’Ohn, where the mission also ends. Warp to start and warp to complete are both 3,500, and the recommended level is 75.
Oscuma is the only other system, so this is an out-and-back trip with both fights in the middle.

All three pick up in Yagn’Ohn and share the same point changes. A Line in the Sand sits between the other two on credits, and it is the only one with two fights.
Tips
Repair before you go to Oscuma. The two fights come one after the other, and the second enemy is slightly stronger than the first.
Conspirators also sends you to Oscuma, so running both together saves a trip.
The Zhat Vash reappear throughout the Order’s story, including the guard in Lu Shiar at level 76 and the level 80 fight in Showdown at about 550 trillion strength. Reputation moves toward the Romulans; see faction reputation and the Romulan page. The Σ resources page covers Σ-Tritanium, and the mission guide lists the other level 75 missions.
