Containment is a story mission in Star Trek Fleet Command in which you activate the Conduit Pillars and try to banish the Progenitors from the galaxy. You lure them to Naalur, fight Virgil at roughly 7,227,080 strength, and head home. The game lists a recommended level of 1, but the mission needs warp 110 and a ship that can handle a seven-million-strength fight. The reward is 22,725,000 Tritanium and 23 1M Tritanium Tokens.
Containment objectives
There are three objectives and no choice split:
- Lure the Progenitors to Naalur. Location: Naalur.
- Defeat Virgil. Location: Naalur. Enemy strength is roughly 7,227,080.
- Return to your Station.
Naalur is a level 44 Romulan system. With the Pillars active, Maia detects the Conduit coming online and the Progenitors arriving to demand you hand over the construct built from their samples. The gateway takes time to open, and Virgil is the fight you have to win while you wait. After that, you return to your station.
Where and what warp
The mission can be picked up at warp 1, and completing it needs warp 110. Naalur is the only system named.
The listed recommended level of 1 is not a useful guide. Warp 110 and a fight above seven million strength are the real requirements.
Containment rewards
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| Tritanium | 22,725,000 |
| 1M Tritanium Token | 23 |
In the game’s mission chain, completing Containment unlocks the station mission Operations 48, which pays 22 each of 4★ Rare Refined Ore, Crystal and Gas for reaching that Operations level.
The Conduit Pillar missions
Containment is the payoff of a run of missions spent deploying the Conduit Pillars. Current game data for the ones around it:
| Mission | Warp to complete | What it asks | Rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Second Pillar | 70 | Deploy a Pillar in Dok’Vos; pay an Arkonian 6M Dilithium or fight an Arkonian Soldier (about 7,227,080) | 59,085,000 Tritanium and 180 4★ Uncommon Explorer Parts, or 1,500 Latinum and 26 1M Tritanium Tokens |
| The Third Pillar | 160 | Defeat 15 hostiles of level 46+ and a Convergence Militant (about 7,227,080) in New Reykjavik | 270,000,000 Parsteel, 120 4★ Uncommon Battleship Parts |
| The Fourth Pillar | 150 | Deploy the final Pillar over Stoklasa in Muhg | 50 4★ Uncommon Refined Ore |
| Containment | 110 | Lure the Progenitors to Naalur, defeat Virgil (about 7,227,080) | 22,725,000 Tritanium, 23 1M Tritanium Tokens |
Virgil has exactly the same strength as the Arkonian Soldier and the Convergence Militant, so if your ship won either of those fights, it can win this one.
Tips
Bring your strongest ship at full health. The mission’s own dialogue warns you to prepare for violence, and Virgil is the only thing between you and the reward.
Check your Operations level. Operations 48 is the objective of the next mission, so if you are close to that level, the refined resources are not far off. Other missions sorted by level are on the mission guide.
