Believers is a level 65 story mission in Star Trek Fleet Command and part of the Cult Eternus storyline. Toryn has tuned your sensors to Howards’ neural lattice, but the signal can only be picked up at close range, so you raid a Cultist stronghold in the Kreonta system to look for him. It starts at warp 1 and needs warp 1300 to complete, asks you to defeat 21 hostiles, and pays 28 15 Minute Σ-Repair Speed Ups and 215,000 Raw Σ-Parsteel. It is a hostile grind with no boss.
Believers objectives
There are two objectives and no choice split:
- Find the Cultist stronghold. Location: Kreonta.
- Defeat 21 hostiles of level 64 or higher.
Toryn explains the catch: he could not filter out background signals and quantum interference, so he has to work the sensors by hand and needs to be close to the target. He compares it to finding a crystal in the ice fields of Andora. The Cult Eternus must be holding Howards, so a stronghold is the place to start.
At Kreonta, an ion storm blocks the scan, and a loose ring of Cultists guards the outskirts of the hideout. Clearing them before they raise the alarm is the 21-hostile objective. Once you are close enough, Toryn runs a surface-piercing scan, but Howards is not there. The search goes on.
Where and what warp
There is no pickup system. The mission starts at warp 1, and the trip to Kreonta needs warp 1300. The recommended level is 65, and the hostiles must be level 64 or higher.

Tips
Twenty-one hostiles is the biggest count in this stretch of the story, so budget time for it. Any hostile of level 64 or higher counts, which lets you use the targets nearest to you once you are in range.
With no boss at the end, a ship that farms hostiles efficiently is a better pick than your heaviest fighter. The 28 Σ-Repair Speed Ups come back to you at the end, which helps if the grind leaves your fleet in the repair queue.
The Cult Eternus also appears as roaming hostiles, among them the Eternus Seeker and Eternus Messenger. Raw Σ-Parsteel is covered in the Σ resources guide, and more missions at this level are on the mission guide.
