Crowded Isolation is a three-part Star Trek Fleet Command mission chain about the mystery behind the Surgewalkers. Escaped Surgewalkers have to be stopped and beamed back to a Section 31 facility in Alphioma, where Dr. Himel is working on a cure. All three parts are recommended for level 80, the chain is picked up in Bah’Ranthi, and warp to complete runs from 5,500 to 6,000. The chain pays 1,000,000 Ship XP, 400 Ultra Recruit Tokens, 3,713,000 7★ Raw Gas, 2,700,000 7★ Raw Ore and 772,000 Σ-Parsteel in total. It is a fight-heavy chain with no donations and no faction point swings.

Tips for completing Crowded Isolation
Every part ends back at the Section 31 facility in Alphioma, so each one is a round trip: out to Bulnoth, Quanabia or Diphamya for the Surgewalker, then back. Parts 1 and 3 need warp 6,000 and Part 2 needs 5,500.
There are four fights in total, all between roughly 548 and 569 trillion strength. Part 3 is the heaviest, with two Surgewalker ships back to back in Diphamya, so start it with a fully repaired ship.
No part asks for a donation, and the rewards include no faction points, so the chain costs only travel and repair time. If you want to fight more Surgewalkers afterwards, roaming hostiles such as the Surgewalker Wanderer and the Surgewalker Invader have their own guides.
Are the Crowded Isolation rewards worth it?
Yes, mostly for the 400 Ultra Recruit Tokens in Part 3 and the 1,000,000 Ship XP in Part 1. The rest is a spread of resources: 3,713,000 7★ Raw Gas, 2,700,000 7★ Raw Ore, 772,000 Σ-Parsteel, 180,000 Σ-Tritanium, 749,000 7★ broken ship parts and 3 Gravimetric Data. With no donations and no faction losses, the only real cost is four fights. The Σ resources guide explains the Σ-Parsteel and Σ-Tritanium, and the STFC mission guide lists more chains at level 80.
