Clinging to Innocence is a level 30 mission in Star Trek Fleet Command where you rescue Eurydice’s daughter. It starts at warp 1 and takes you out to warp 24, through Exchange Beta, Balrosh and Kuzukoh. Along the way you donate 8M Parsteel and fight one guard ship. The rewards are Latinum, refined ore, a 1 Day Peace Shield and a stack of repair speed-ups. It is a short rescue with one fight and one large donation.
Clinging to Innocence objectives
Six objectives, no choice split:
- Find the merchant. Location: Exchange Beta.
- Donate 8M Parsteel.
- Find the hideout. Location: Balrosh.
- Defeat the guard ship. Location: Balrosh (enemy strength about 305,058).
- Rescue Eurydice’s daughter. Location: Balrosh.
- Return Eurydice home. Location: Kuzukoh.
The merchant in Exchange Beta is where the trail starts, and the 8M Parsteel donation is paid right after. The middle of the mission is all in Balrosh: you find the hideout, beat the guard ship and pull the daughter out. The last step takes Eurydice back to Kuzukoh.
Where and what warp
The mission starts at warp 1, so you can accept it from home. Warp 24 is needed to complete it, since the objectives reach Exchange Beta, Balrosh and Kuzukoh.
The recommended level is 30. The guard ship fight at roughly 305,000 strength is the one combat check.
Plan the route as three stops. Exchange Beta comes first for the merchant, Balrosh second for the hideout, the fight and the rescue, and Kuzukoh last. None of the three is visited twice, so there is no backtracking once you leave a system.

Compared with the missions around it
| Mission | Recommended level | Warp to complete | Rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
| Won’t Get Fooled Again (before) | 30 | 24 | 2 1 Day Speed Ups, 418,000 Tritanium |
| Clinging to Innocence | 30 | 24 | 13 Latinum, 14 3★ Uncommon Refined Ore, 1 1 Day Peace Shield, 36 15 Minute Repair Speed Ups |
| The Secret Weapon (after) | 30 | 26 | 59,000 Dilithium, 1,989,000 Parsteel, 1 30 Minute Speed Up |
All three sit at level 30 and need about the same warp, so if your ship reaches warp 24 you can run them in a row, with only a small step up to warp 26 for The Secret Weapon.
Tips
Have the 8M Parsteel in stock before you reach the merchant. The donation is the second step, and the mission stalls there until you pay.
Balrosh holds three objectives in a row, so plan to stay in the system until the daughter is rescued. Go in repaired for the guard ship, since it is the only fight.
The 36 repair speed-ups are a useful buffer for the combat-heavy missions that follow. Other missions by level are on the mission guide.
