An Open Secret is a late-game story mission in Star Trek Fleet Command in which you investigate Romulan attacks. The game lists a recommended level of 1, but it needs warp 160 to complete and a win against a Romulan guard at roughly 10,476,166 strength. Every located step is in Loch’Grman. The reward is 46,155,000 Tritanium and six 3 Hour Repair Speed Ups, and it unlocks Bull in a China Shop. One big fight stands between you and a large Tritanium payout.
An Open Secret objectives
The story line is to investigate the Romulan attacks. There are four objectives and no choice split:
- Enter Romulan Space. Location: Loch’Grman.
- Defeat the Romulan guard. Location: Loch’Grman. Enemy strength is roughly 10,476,166.
- Investigate the outpost. Location: Loch’Grman.
- Return to your Station.
You enter Romulan space at Loch’Grman, where a guard blocks the way to the outpost. With the guard beaten you can investigate the outpost, and then head home to finish the mission.
Where and what warp
No pickup system is listed. The mission starts at warp 1 and needs warp 160 to complete, and Loch’Grman is the only named system.
The recommended level is listed as 1. That is not a useful guide: warp 160 and an enemy above 10 million strength are the real bar.
An Open Secret rewards
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| Tritanium | 46,155,000 |
| 3 Hour Repair Speed Up | 6 |
Completing it unlocks the next mission, Bull in a China Shop.
How it compares with the previous mission
An Open Secret follows Trouble Follows, which uses the same warp and a similar-sized fight. Current game data:
| Mission | Warp to complete | What it asks | Rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trouble Follows | 160 | Find Jaylah in Farnham, defeat 10 hostiles of level 48+, defeat the Tal Shiar Assassin (about 10,802,528), inform Starfleet in Avofall | 800 Ultra Recruit Tokens |
| An Open Secret | 160 | Enter Loch’Grman, defeat the Romulan guard (about 10,476,166), investigate the outpost, return home | 46,155,000 Tritanium, 6 3 Hour Repair Speed Ups |
An Open Secret is the lighter of the two. It drops the hostile grind, and the Romulan guard is slightly weaker than the Tal Shiar Assassin. If you cleared Trouble Follows, the same ship should handle this fight.
Tips
Bring your strongest combat ship to Loch’Grman. The Romulan guard is the only enemy, but at roughly 10,476,166 strength it is the whole difficulty of the mission.
Use the repair speed ups on the guard fight. Six 3 Hour Repair Speed Ups add up to 18 hours of repair time, and you end the mission docked at your Station, so you can apply them right away.
The 46,155,000 Tritanium is a large sum even at this stage, and fits straight into ship or station upgrades that call for it. Other missions sorted by level are on the mission guide.
