Away From The Nest is a level 62 mission in Star Trek Fleet Command about a lone Swarm soldier spotted far from Altamid. A colonist named Tucker asks for help because the soldier has taken over a ship and is sitting in orbit of a new colony in Esteris, ignoring every hail. You pick it up in Qorfit and need warp 900 to start and to finish. There is one fight, and the reward is 3,290,000,000 Tritanium and 121,000 Raw Σ-Parsteel.
Away From The Nest objectives
There are four objectives and no choice split:
- Travel to the sighting of the Swarm troops. Location: Esteris.
- Defeat the hijacked Klingonisch vessel. Location: Esteris (enemy strength about 3,391,917,710).
- Capture the Swarm Soldier. Location: Esteris.
- Bring back the remains to the scientist. Location: Shaz.
The soldier is flying a Klingon ship and powers its weapons instead of answering, so you fight to protect the colony. It does not survive, but its helmet holds a neural link device that looks like a behavior controller. A Klingon scientist in Shaz then calls in to say the soldier was his experiment, programmed only to visit the planet and return, and asks for the body. He says he is no longer welcome in the Klingon Empire and agrees to recall his other soldiers and shelve the project. Tucker does not trust him and plans to file a report.
Wo und welcher Warp
The mission is picked up in Qorfit. The fight and the capture happen in Esteris, and the hand-in is at the research station in Shaz. Warp 900 is needed both to start and to complete. The game lists a recommended level of 62.
Away From The Nest rewards
| Belohnung | Amount |
|---|---|
| Tritanium | 3,290,000,000 |
| Raw Σ-Parsteel | 121,000 |
The mission has no faction points or faction credits, so it does not affect your standing with any faction.
Tips
Bring a ship that can beat about 3.4 billion strength. The hijacked Klingon vessel is the only combat, and it is a step above the roughly 2.6 billion fights gemeinsame in level 62 faction missions.
The fight is the second objective, right after you arrive in Esteris, so arrive at full health. The capture that follows happens in the same system with no further fighting, and the trip to Shaz is only a delivery.
At warp 900 this is slightly shorter range than the warp 1,000 faction missions around level 62, which can make it a convenient Tritanium run for a ship that is still short of that range.
The 3.29 billion Tritanium is the headline reward, and the Raw Σ-Parsteel is covered on the Parsteel page. Other missions involving the Swarm are listed on the Swarm missions page, and more missions by level are on the mission guide.
