Command Nest is a story mission in Star Trek Fleet Command that begins when a Romulan spy is uncovered inside the Federation. You meet a Yridian informant in Afritalis, then choose how to deal with the Romulan infiltrator. There are three paths, and no fights on any of them. The game lists a recommended level of 1 and the mission needs warp 22 to complete. Every path pays Parsteel, and the Romulan path pays the most.
Command Nest objectives
The first objective is the same for everyone:
- Meet with the Yridian informant in the Afritalis system. Location: Afritalis.
The mission then asks how you will deal with the Romulan infiltrator, and it splits three ways.
Speak with Spock
- Return to the Station to speak with Spock.
Rewards for this path: 100,000 Parsteel and 40,000 Officer XP.
Speak with T’Yeka
- Return to the Station to speak with T’Yeka.
Rewards for this path: 100,000 Parsteel and 1 Relocation Token.
Bargain with the Romulans
- Go to Draken III and bargain with the Romulans. Location: Draken.
Rewards for this path: 250,000 Parsteel and 30 3★ Uncommon Refined Ore.
Where and what warp
The mission can be picked up at warp 1 and needs warp 22 to complete. Afritalis is the first stop on every path. The two station paths end at home, while the Romulan path sends you on to Draken, a level 23 Romulan system.
The recommended level is listed as 1. With no hostile or donation on any path, reaching the systems is the only requirement.
Command Nest rewards
| Path | Rewards |
|---|---|
| Speak with Spock | 100,000 Parsteel, 40,000 Officer XP |
| Speak with T’Yeka | 100,000 Parsteel, 1 Relocation Token |
| Bargain with the Romulans | 250,000 Parsteel, 30 3★ Uncommon Refined Ore |
Any path unlocks the next mission, Fight Back.
Which path to pick
The Romulan path pays two and a half times the Parsteel of the other two and adds refined ore, at the cost of an extra trip to Draken. If you want resources, it is the obvious choice.
The Spock path suits players short on officer levels: 40,000 Officer XP is the only XP on offer here. The T’Yeka path is the one to take if you need a Relocation Token to move your station.
Where it sits in the storyline
Command Nest follows A Link to the Past, a station mission that asks you to upgrade Operations to level 26 and pays 1,000,000 Parsteel. After Command Nest comes Fight Back, which sends you to Yadow at warp 18 to reach resistance fighters on Riquzei and destroy 10 hostile ships there, for 500,000 Parsteel.
Tips
Send a fast, cheap ship. No path involves combat, so there is no reason to tie up your main fighter.
Decide before you reach Afritalis. The choice comes straight after the meeting, and the Romulan path needs enough range for Draken as well. Other missions sorted by level are on the mission guide.
