Cold Feet is a level 73 Federation mission in Star Trek Fleet Command about a Baelosian colony inside Forsaken space that is talking about breaking away. You pick it up in Baerhia and need warp 2,100 to start and to finish. After meeting the dissident Bolah and reporting to the Forsaken Council, you either pay for the colony’s defences or scare it back into line. Both paths give 2,720,000 7★ Raw Crystal, 213,000 7★ Broken Interceptor Parts, 2,600 Σ-Federation Credits and 1 Gravimetric Data.
Cold Feet objectives
The Forsaken Council asks Cillian for an unbiased party to look into rising unrest in its Baelosian colony. The opening steps are the same on both paths:
- Investigate the Baelosian colony in Baerhia.
- Speak with Bolah in Baerhia.
- Speak with the Council in Alvolea.
- Decide how to handle the colony.
Bolah has been broadcasting from a facility on the colony. He says the Klingons took the neighbouring colony, the Forsaken never sent enough protection, and he is ready to tell the Federation all about life under the Forsaken. Back in Alvolea, Ondi wants to listen and reinforce the colony, while Vaxto and Koyala want to remind the Baelosians who is in charge.
A show of generosity
- Return to the Baelosian colony in Baerhia.
- Donate 300K Σ-Parsteel.
Orasek backs Ondi, who travels with you, apologises to Bolah and pays for upgraded colony defences. Bolah admits he never actually contacted the Federation and agrees not to.
A show of force
- Return to the Baelosian colony in Baerhia.
- Intimidate the Baelosians in Baerhia (enemy strength ~11,426,936,123,691).
Vaxto takes over the dissident’s broadcast frequency, warns the whole colony and sends you in to give them a good scare. Bolah backs down, but only after asking whether the Council has become the thing his people fear.
Where and what warp
Baerhia is the pickup and the setting for everything except the Council meeting in Alvolea. Warp 2,100 covers the whole mission, from start to completion. The recommended level is 73.

Tips
If you have 300K Σ-Parsteel spare, the generosity path is the easy finish: no fight, just a donation. Check your stock of Σ resources before you choose, since the donation is the whole cost of that branch. Players short on Parsteel of this grade can take the force path instead and win one fight listed at about 11.4 trillion strength.
The 2.7 million 7★ Raw Crystal is the reason to prioritise this one. None of the other level 73 Federation missions in the table pays any Crystal at all.
Reputation moves as well. You gain 17.7 billion Federation Points but lose 20.7 billion Klingon and 9.7 billion Romulan Points, which is worth weighing on the faction reputation page if you also run missions for the other factions. The Forsaken Council you work for here first appears in the Margins chain, and more missions by level are on the mission guide.
