Ancestral Answer is a travel mission in Star Trek Fleet Command about deciphering a message found on Carraya II. It takes you from Carraya back to your station, then out to Tellar, D’Deridex and Gorath, one system in each of the Federation, Romulan and Klingon territories. It becomes available at warp 1 and needs warp 47 to complete. There are no fights, and the reward is 800 Ultra Recruit Tokens plus 50 each of 3★ Rare Refined Ore, Crystal and Gas.
Ancestral Answer objectives
There are five objectives and no choice split:
- Travel to Carraya II. Location: Carraya.
- Return to your Station.
- Travel to the Tellar system. Location: Tellar.
- Travel to D’Deridex in Romulan space. Location: D’Deridex.
- Travel to Gorath in Klingon space. Location: Gorath.
Every objective is a trip. You start at Carraya II, where the message is, then come home to your station. After that the mission sends you on a tour of three factions’ space: Tellar for the Federation, D’Deridex in Romulan space and Gorath in Klingon space. The mission ends at Gorath.
No hostile is listed anywhere, and nothing has to be donated.
Where and what warp
The mission becomes available at warp 1 and needs warp 47 to complete. No pickup system is listed. The five destinations are spread across three factions’ territory, so it is a travel-heavy mission even without a single fight.
The recommended level is listed as 1. Range is the real requirement: your ship has to reach all four named systems.

Completing the mission also unlocks the next part of the chain.
Route at a glance
| Step | Destination | Territory |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Carraya II | Carraya system |
| 2 | Your station | Home |
| 3 | Tellar | Federation |
| 4 | D’Deridex | Romulan space |
| 5 | Gorath | Klingon space |
The return to your station in step 2 splits the mission into two trips. The first is a single visit to Carraya; the second is the three-faction tour.
Tips
Use your fastest long-range ship. With no fights, speed and warp range are all that matter, and a ship that can reach Gorath and D’Deridex without trouble will finish the tour in one run.
The return to your station is a natural break. Once the first trip is done, you can repair or set up the second leg before heading to Tellar.
The rewards are generous for a mission with no combat. 800 Ultra Recruit Tokens is a large pull, and the refined materials come as an even 50 of each type, which tops up all three stockpiles at once.
Travel through other factions’ space is part of the route, so check the systems before you send a lightly defended ship. Other missions by level are on the mission guide.
