Bond Broken is a level 56 story mission in Star Trek Fleet Command where you settle matters with the Enterprise. You meet the ship in Kayla and then choose: submit and fight alongside it against the USS Cambodia, or defend yourself and fight the Enterprise directly. Both fights are about 33.7 million strength. The mission starts at warp 1 and needs warp 120 to complete. Every path pays 133,650,000 Tritanium; the choice adds either 700 3 Hour Speed Ups or a 1 Day Peace Shield.
Bond Broken objectives
The mission opens with one shared step and then splits:
- Meet with the Enterprise. Location: Kayla.
- What should we do? This is the choice split.
Submit to the Enterprise
- Go with the Enterprise. Location: Alea.
- Defeat the USS Cambodia. Location: Alea. Enemy strength is roughly 33,700,090.
- Retreat to your Station.
Rewards: 700 3 Hour Speed Ups and 133,650,000 Tritanium.
Defend yourself
- Defeat the USS Enterprise. Location: Kayla. Enemy strength is roughly 33,700,090.
- Retreat to your Station.
Rewards: a 1 Day Peace Shield and 133,650,000 Tritanium.
Where and what warp
The mission appears at warp 1, and completing it needs warp 120. Kayla is where you meet the Enterprise, and it is also where the fight happens if you choose to defend yourself. Submitting to the Enterprise adds a jump to Alea for the fight against the Cambodia.
The recommended level is 56. Whichever path you take, a fight of about 33.7 million strength is the real test.
Bond Broken rewards
| Reward | Submit to the Enterprise | Defend yourself |
|---|---|---|
| Tritanium | 133,650,000 | 133,650,000 |
| 3 Hour Speed Up | 700 | None |
| 1 Day Peace Shield | None | 1 |
Either path unlocks the next mission, What Lies Ahead.
Which choice to make
The fights are the same strength, and the Tritanium is identical, so the decision comes down to 700 3 Hour Speed Ups against a single 1 Day Peace Shield. In raw value the speed ups are far larger: 700 of them add up to 2,100 hours, or 87.5 days, of general speed up time, which is a real dent in a late-game building or research timer.
The peace shield only makes sense if you need protection urgently, for example if you are about to go offline in a hostile area with a large stockpile at risk. Submitting to the Enterprise costs one extra jump to Alea, which is a small price for the speed ups.
Where it sits in the story
Bond Broken follows Under Better Circumstances and leads into What Lies Ahead. Current game data for the three:
| Mission | Warp to complete | Main task | Main reward |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under Better Circumstances | 160 | Find Toryn’s hideout and defeat VESTA (about 37,173,486) | 5,300,000,000 Parsteel, 500 Premium Recruit Tokens |
| Bond Broken | 120 | One fight of about 33,700,090 | 133,650,000 Tritanium plus your choice |
| What Lies Ahead | 1 | Upgrade Operations to level 56 | 67,500,000 Tritanium, 240 15 Minute Repair Speed Ups |
All three share a recommended level of 56. What Lies Ahead has no fight, but it needs Operations 56, so check that upgrade before you rush through Bond Broken.
Tips
Repair fully after the VESTA fight in the previous mission. Bond Broken’s fight is only slightly weaker, and you want your strongest ship at full hull for it.
Look at the Operations 56 bill early. Current game data puts it at 64.35B Tritanium, 18.2T Parsteel and 21.45B Dilithium plus 5★ refined ore, with Shipyard 55, Defense Platform F 30 and Refinery 55 as requirements. The 133.65M Tritanium from Bond Broken helps, but it is a small part of that cost.
