Ad Astra is a level 68 story mission in Star Trek Fleet Command and part of the Cult Eternus storyline. With the Klingons and Romulans both refusing to help, Picard takes the case to Starfleet at Starbase-12. It starts at warp 1 and needs warp 1500 to complete, has a single objective and no fights, and pays 18,000 6★ Raw Ore and one 1 Hour Σ-Speed Up. It is the last of three failed appeals before the story moves to level 69.
Ad Astra objectives
There is a single objective and no choice split:
- Appeal to Starfleet. Location: Nisa.
Picard is sure Admiral Johnson will want to help, since Starfleet exists to better the galaxy; the question is whether he has the means. The two last met nine years ago on Deneva. Johnson admits the galaxy is falling apart and thinks nothing can be done.
Picard explains that the Cult has Maia, an artificial intelligence based on Progenitor technology, and that her latent Progenitor abilities could stop the Cult from opening the way for the Nameless. Johnson calls it too many ifs to risk the Föderation on. The Federation Council has ordered every fleet to hold position at the border, and Picard warns there may soon be no line left to hold.

Tips
Ad Astra is travel only. Any ship that can make warp 1500 can finish it, so leave your combat ships on other jobs.
The reward is small, but the mission is the gate to No Path But Through, which asks you to upgrade Operations to level 69 and pays 799,000 Raw Σ-Dilithium. Start saving for that upgrade while you run this one.
Nisa is also the pickup system for the level 68 missions Fighting Over Scraps und Learned Fears, so you can pick those up on the same trip. The Σ resources guide covers the Σ-Speed Up, and more missions at this level are on the mission guide.
