Construct Dilithium Generator A is an early station mission in Star Trek Fleet Command with one objective: build your first Dilithium generator. It needs only warp 1, and the game lists a recommended level of 1. The reward is 440 Tritanium and twelve 1 Minute Repair Speed Ups, and completing it unlocks Construct Dilithium Warehouse. It is a small bonus for a building you need anyway.
Construct Dilithium Generator A objectives
The story line tells you to upgrade a Dilithium Generator to acquire more of this valuable resource. There is one objective and no choice split:
- Construct Dilithium Generator A.
No system is named, no hostile is listed and nothing is donated. The mission clears as soon as Dilithium Generator A is built.
Where and what warp
Warp 1 to start and warp 1 to complete, with no pickup system. The whole mission happens on your station.
The recommended level is 1. The real requirement is the building’s own unlock condition.
What the generator needs
In current game data, Dilithium Generator A unlocks at Operations 10. Level 1 costs 300 Tritanium and 400 Parsteel and takes 45 seconds to build. The game describes it as the producer of Dilithium, a crystalline mineral used for researching new technologies and building advanced ship components.
The reward from this mission covers the Tritanium cost of the build with 140 to spare. More detail on every generator level is on the Dilithium generators page.
Construct Dilithium Generator A rewards
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| Tritanium | 440 |
| 1 Minute Repair Speed Up | 12 |
Completing it unlocks the next station mission, Construct Dilithium Warehouse.
How it fits the early station missions
This mission sits in a chain of small station jobs around Operations 10. Current game data:
| Mission | Objective | Rewards |
|---|---|---|
| Upgrade Operations to Level 10 | Upgrade Operations to Level 10 | 550 Tritanium, 6 1 Minute Repair Speed Ups |
| Construct Dilithium Generator A | Construct Dilithium Generator A | 440 Tritanium, 12 1 Minute Repair Speed Ups |
| Construct Dilithium Warehouse | Construct the Dilithium Warehouse | 460 Tritanium, 12 1 Minute Repair Speed Ups |
The order makes sense: Operations 10 unlocks the generator, and the Dilithium Warehouse in turn needs Operations 10 and Dilithium Generator A at level 1 before it can be placed. The warehouse also matters for the generator itself, because Dilithium Generator A level 2 and 3 require Dilithium Warehouse 1, and levels 4 and 5 require Dilithium Warehouse 3.
Further along, Construct Dilithium Generator B becomes possible at Operations 13 with Generator A at level 1, and pays 100 Tritanium and two 3 Minute Repair Speed Ups.
Tips
Build it the moment Operations 10 finishes. The generator costs very little, builds in under a minute, and starts your Dilithium income straight away.
Follow up with the warehouse. Construct Dilithium Warehouse unlocks right after this mission, and its reward is almost identical. Other missions sorted by level are on the mission guide.
