A Wild Cat Chase is a single Next Generation mission in Star Trek Fleet Command, recommended for level 13. Commander Data’s cat, Spot, has gone missing on Risa, and an Orion was seen leaving the building, so Data asks you to track her down. You pick it up in Xantoras, need warp 13 to start and finish, and follow the trail through Orion space, Nausicaa and Rigel before it leads back to Risa. There are no fights, one 100 Dilithium bribe, and the reward is 11,000 Parsteel, 1,500 Tritanium and 50 5 Minute Speed Ups.
A Wild Cat Chase objectives
There are five objectives and no choice split:
- Set a course for Orion Prime. Location: Orion.
- Proceed to Nausicaa. Location: Nausicaa.
- Set a course for the Rigellian Destroyer. Location: Rigel.
- Donate 100 Dilithium.
- Set a course for Risa. Location: Risa.
Data worries the Orions might extract what Spot has seen aboard the Enterprise; your AI suspects she was simply taken for the pet trade on Orion Prime. Orion Prime has plenty of cats but not Spot. On Nausicaa, where cats are a delicacy, a subspace broadcast mentions a Rigellian Destroyer that stole something valuable from Risa. The Rigellians do not have Spot either, but for 100 Dilithium they tell you about an animal sanctuary at Suraya Bay on Risa. Spot is there, found wandering after slipping out of Data’s apartment and now friends with the sanctuary’s Klingon targs.
Where and what warp
You pick up the mission in Xantoras, and both the start and the finish need warp 13. The route is Orion, Nausicaa, Rigel, then Risa. The recommended level is 13.
No hostile is listed at any step. The only cost is the 100 Dilithium bribe.

Tips
Send any ship. With no fights, the only thing that matters is reaching warp 13 for the four stops.
Keep 100 Dilithium on hand for the Rigellians. It is the one step that can hold you up.
The 50 5 Minute Speed Ups add up to more than four hours of speed ups, which is handy at level 13. Every mission by level is on the mission guide.
