Encroachment is a level 13 mission in Star Trek Fleet Command where you fight back against the Nausicaan Outlaws swarming the Rigel system. It has one objective: defeat 10 hostiles of level 12 or higher. It is picked up in Rigel and needs warp 10 to start and to finish. The reward is three 1★ Survey Parts and a Rigellian Datapad. It is a small reward, but it fits neatly into any session spent hunting hostiles around Rigel.
Encroachment objectives
There is a single objective and no choice split:
- Defeat 10 hostiles of Level 12 or higher.
No system is named for the kills, so any hostile at level 12 or above counts. There is no named target and no return trip.
Wo und welcher Warp
Encroachment is offered in Rigel, and warp 10 covers both accepting and completing it. The recommended level is 13.
The story points at the Nausicaan Outlaws in Rigel, and current hostile Daten lists seven of them in the system at level 10 to 16. The ones at level 12 and above count toward the objective. With seven listed there, you may need a second pass or a nearby system with level 12+ hostiles to reach ten.
Encroachment rewards
| Belohnung | Amount |
|---|---|
| 1★ Survey Parts | 3 |
| Rigellian Datapad | 1 |
Encroachment is a standalone mission and does not unlock a follow-up.
Other Rigel missions that pay a Rigellian Datapad
Many of the Missionen offered in Rigel add a Rigellian Datapad to their reward. All of these are picked up in Rigel and finish at warp 10 or 11.
| Mission | Recommended level | Other rewards |
|---|---|---|
| Encroachment | 13 | 3 1★ Survey Parts |
| Analyse der Schlacht | 13 | 50 Premium Recruit Tokens, 700 Officer XP |
| Politischer Häftling | 14 | 1 Lucia Gonzales shard |
| Impfstoff | 14 | 1,800 Parsteel |
| Lebenserhaltung | 15 | 5.000 Parsteel |
| Verdacht | 17 | 6,000 Parsteel, 200 Dilithium |
Encroachment is the lowest-level mission in the group and the only one that is pure hostile hunting. The others send you on deliveries, rescues and intelligence runs, and several of them pay far more Parsteel.
Tips
Encroachment needs no travel beyond Rigel, which makes it one of the easiest missions to pick up while you are already in the system for something else.
Pick the Outlaws at level 12 or 13 if your ship is still close to that level. Any hostile at level 12 or higher counts the same, so the level 16 ones only add risk.
Use the three 1★ Survey Parts on an early survey ship.
Stack Encroachment with another Rigel mission from the table. You will be flying around the system anyway, and the kills can happen along the way. For more missions by level, see the mission guide.
