Arbitration is a level 9 mission in Star Trek Fleet Command. The Varudeans have offered to host peace talks between dignitaries from Rigel and Nausicaa, and you ferry both delegates to Varudensa, then stop the Orions from sabotaging the talks. It is picked up in Whinnul or Grenfil at warp 5 and needs warp 10 to complete. The reward is 8,000 Parsteel, 500 Officer XP and a Lucia Gonzales shard, and it unlocks Extraction.
Arbitration objectives
Four objectives, no choice split:
- Pick up the Nausicaan diplomat. Location: Nausicaa.
- Collect Primary Dellig from Rigel VII. Location: Rigel.
- Bring Yer’Ka and Dellig to Varudensa. Location: Nelve.
- Stop the Orions from sabotaging the peace talks. Location: Nelve (enemy strength about 2,300).
The first two steps are pickups, Yer’Ka from Nausicaa and Dellig from Rigel VII. You then take both to Varudensa in the Nelve system, where the Orions try to wreck the talks and you have to fight them off.
Where and what warp
Arbitration is picked up in Whinnul or Grenfil and needs warp 5 to start. Warp 10 is needed to complete it, covering Nausicaa, Rigel and Nelve.
The recommended level is 9. The Orion fight at about 2,300 strength is the only combat, and it is sized for a ship around that level.
The pickup needs warp 5 and the whole route stays within warp 10, so a ship that can accept it in Whinnul or Grenfil is only a small range upgrade away from finishing it.
Arbitration rewards
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| Parsteel | 8,000 |
| Officer XP | 500 |
| Lucia Gonzales shards | 1 |
Completing it unlocks Extraction.
The mission after it
Extraction follows at recommended level 10, starting from your station at warp 1 and finishing at warp 10. It pays 25 1★ Survey Parts. Since both missions finish at warp 10, a ship that completes Arbitration can move straight on.
Tips
Plan the route so you are not doubling back. The pickups can be done in the listed order, Nausicaa then Rigel, before heading to Nelve with both passengers.
The two delegates are the passengers for the rest of the mission. Nothing is listed as attacking you between the pickups, so the only danger is at the talks themselves.
Arrive at Nelve repaired. The Orion saboteurs are the only fight, and they attack at the talks, after all the travel is done.
The Lucia Gonzales shard is the reason to prioritise this mission if you are collecting her. The Officer XP is a useful top-up at level 9 for whichever crew you are levelling.
