A Way Out is a Discovery-era story mission in Star Trek Fleet Command in which you stop a prison break. The game lists a recommended level of 1. It starts at warp 1 and needs warp 19 to complete. You respond to a red alert in Bazamex, defeat 5 hostiles of level 24 or higher, and then choose to follow Tilly or help Kai. Both paths pay Parsteel and 1 Hour Speed Ups; one adds Interceptor Parts, the other Tritanium.
A Way Out objectives
Everyone starts with the same three steps:
- Respond to the red alert. Location: Bazamex.
- Defeat 5 hostiles of Level 24 or higher.
- Follow Tilly or help Kai.
The third step is a choice split. The two paths are different in both objectives and rewards.
Path 1: follow Tilly
- Track Tilly’s movement. Location: Gemet.
- Return to your Station.
Rewards: 22 1 Hour Speed Ups, 250 3★ Interceptor Parts and 402,000 Parsteel.
Path 2: help Kai
- Help Kai. Location: Bazamex. Enemy strength is roughly 131,625.
- Return to your Station.
Rewards: 74,000 Tritanium, 502,000 Parsteel and 27 1 Hour Speed Ups.
Where and what warp
No pickup system is listed. The mission opens at warp 1 and needs warp 19 to complete. Bazamex is where it starts, and Path 1 adds a trip to Gemet. The hostile objective has no fixed location, so any level 24 or higher hostiles count.
The recommended level is 1. The level 24 hostiles and, on Path 2, a fight at roughly 131,625 strength are the real requirements.
A Way Out rewards
| Path | Parsteel | 1 Hour Speed Ups | Extra |

How it compares with the missions around it
A Way Out follows Just That Easy…, and the Tilly storyline continues in Redux. Current game data:
| Mission | Warp to complete | Main fight | Rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
| Just That Easy… | 20 | Tilly’s ship (about 129,975) | 9,000 Dilithium, 100 Ship XP, 10 15 Minute Repair Speed Ups |
| A Way Out | 19 | Help Kai step (about 131,625), Path 2 only | See the table above |
| Redux | 18 | Tilly’s merc (about 133,020) | 753,000 Parsteel, 15 Latinum, 23,000 Dilithium |
Tips
Choose by what you need. Helping Kai pays 100,000 more Parsteel, five more speed ups and 74,000 Tritanium, but adds a fight. Following Tilly skips that fight and pays 250 3★ Interceptor Parts instead, which is the better pick if you are upgrading an interceptor.
Knock out the hostile objective during normal grinding. Five level 24 or higher hostiles is a short session, and it has to be done before the choice appears.
Both paths end at your Station, so you can repair right away before moving on. Other missions sorted by level are on the mission guide.
