Artifice is a level 80 mission in Star Trek Fleet Command about advocating for synth rights. It is picked up in Hodozia and needs warp 6,000 both to start and to complete, and every objective stays in Hodozia. Two ship fights stand in the way, one against a hostile ship at the rally and one against Selyr. The reward is 270,000 Σ-Tritanium, 4,050,000 7★ Raw Gas and 345,000 7★ Broken Explorer Parts. With no donation and no faction points, it is a straightforward combat mission for a strong end-game ship.
Artifice objectives
There are six objectives and no choice split:
- Proceed to Hodozia. Location: Hodozia.
- Kick off the rally. Location: Hodozia.
- Defeat the hostile ship. Location: Hodozia (enemy strength about 550.1 trillion).
- Catch up to Selyr. Location: Hodozia.
- Disable Selyr’s ship. Location: Hodozia (enemy strength about 563.7 trillion).
- Return to the rally. Location: Hodozia.
The rally is interrupted by an attack almost as soon as it starts. After that fight you chase down Selyr and disable the ship, then go back to the rally to finish. The second enemy is the stronger of the two, by roughly 13.6 trillion.
Wo und welcher Warp
The pickup system is Hodozia, and the mission never leaves it. Warp to start and warp to complete are both 6,000, the top warp band for level 80 missions. The recommended level is 80.
A single system means no travel between objectives, so the time goes into the two fights. Arrive with a ship you would trust against a 560 trillion strength target.

How Artifice compares with other level 80 missions
| Mission | Pickup | Warp | Fights | Kosten | Main rewards |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Artifice | Hodozia | 6,000 | 2 | Keine | 270,000 Σ-Tritanium, 4,050,000 7★ Raw Gas, 345,000 7★ Broken Explorer Parts |
| Showdown | Sotunei | 6,000 | 2 | 125K Σ-Dilithium | 370,000 Σ-Dilithium, 500 Romulan Recruit Tokens, 2,700 Σ-Romulan Credits |

Artifice is the resource mission of the three. The other two pay Σ-Dilithium and faction currency, and both move your reputation.
Tips
Treat it as two fights in a row. You cannot leave Hodozia between them without breaking up the mission, so repair before you kick off the rally.
The 7★ Raw Gas is the headline number. If gas is your bottleneck for 7★ refining, this mission is worth running as soon as it opens. The Σ-Tritanium goes toward upgrades; the Σ resources page explains where it is used.
The 345,000 Broken Explorer Parts are only useful if you are working on an Explorer, so hold them for that rather than expecting a general benefit.
Since there is no reputation swing, Artifice fits any player regardless of which side they back. See factions if you are weighing the faction-aligned missions at this level, and the mission guide for the rest of the level 80 storyline.
