Barrage is the casino heist itself in a level 29 Star Trek Fleet Command storyline: you raid the casino vault in Exchange Gamma. It opens at warp 1 and needs warp 24 to complete, and it has two fights against casino guard ships at roughly 198,000 and 200,000 strength before you retreat to Kuzukoh. The reward is 24 Latinum, and finishing it unlocks Puppets on a String. The payout is small for two fights, but the mission moves the heist story along.
Barrage objectives
There are five objectives and no choice split:
- Approach the casino. Location: Exchange Gamma.
- Defeat the Casino guard. Location: Exchange Gamma. Enemy strength is roughly 198,251.
- Raid the vault. Location: Exchange Gamma.
- Defeat the second guard ship. Location: Exchange Gamma. Enemy strength is roughly 200,351.
- Retreat from Exchange Space. Location: Kuzukoh.
The first four steps all happen in Exchange Gamma. You approach the casino, deal with the first guard at about 198,251 strength, then raid the vault.
The raid brings out a second guard ship at about 200,351, slightly stronger than the first. You face it after the vault step, so any damage from the first fight is still with you. Once it is down, the last step is a retreat out of Exchange space to Kuzukoh.
Where and what warp
Barrage becomes available at warp 1 and no pickup system is named. Completing it needs warp 24, which covers Exchange Gamma and the retreat to Kuzukoh.
The recommended level is 29. The two guard ships, both close to 200,000 strength, are the real test of whether your ship is ready.
Barrage rewards
The mission pays 24 Latinum. Completing it also unlocks the next mission, Puppets on a String.
Barrage and the missions before it
Barrage is the payoff of a short heist run. Double or Nothing has you scout out the casino and then choose between Ro’s plan and Goon’s plan, and A Mighty Arsenal, where you gather the weapons, comes directly before Barrage. Current game data:
| Mission | Recommended level | Warp to complete | Main task | Rewards |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Double or Nothing | 29 | 24 | Scout the casino in Exchange Gamma, then pick a plan | Depends on your choice |
| A Mighty Arsenal | 29 | 24 | Get the weapons in Leone, donate 1M Tritanium, defeat 15 hostiles of level 27 or higher | 33 3 Hour Speed Up, 100 1 Hour Speed Up |
| Barrage | 29 | 24 | Raid the vault, beat two guard ships | 24 Latinum |
All three share a recommended level of 29 and a warp 24 finish. A Mighty Arsenal carries the big reward in this stretch, with 133 speed ups in total; Barrage is the fight-heavy step with the smaller payout.
Tips
Repair before you approach the casino. The two guard fights sit on either side of the vault step in the same system, so start the raid at full health.
Bring your strongest ship at this level. Both guards are close to 200,000 strength, and the second one is slightly tougher than the first.
Plan the Latinum. Twenty-four is a modest amount on its own, so it is worth saving alongside other Latinum for something specific. More missions by level are on the mission guide.
