Salvage Operation is a short faction-choice mission in Star Trek Fleet Command where you recover what you can from the wreck of a Klingon D4. It is picked up in Deneva, needs warp 11 to start and warp 13 to complete, and the game lists a recommended level of 1. There is no combat: you recover a Klingon Data Core and decide which faction gets it. Each choice pays one officer shard, 250 reputation points with that faction and an Energy Manifold.
Salvage Operation objectives
The mission opens with two shared steps:
- Recover Klingon Data Core. Location: Deneva.
- Choose which faction receives the salvaged data.
Each of the three options leads to a single delivery in Opla:
- Deliver the Core to Starfleet. Location: Opla.
- Deliver the Core to the Klingonen. Location: Opla.
- Deliver the Core to the Romulans. Location: Opla.
You only complete the one that matches your choice. The route is the same for all three: Deneva, then Opla.
Wo und welcher Warp
The pickup system is Deneva. The mission needs warp 11 to start and warp 13 to complete, which covers the trip to Opla.
The recommended level is listed as 1. With no fight, any ship with the warp range can finish it.

The game data lists no next mission unlocked by Salvage Operation.
Which choice to pick
The structure is symmetrical: the faction you pick gains 250 points and the other two lose 100 each. So the choice comes down to which faction you want to favour and which officer shard you want.
If you already lean toward one faction, pick it; the reputation and the shard both line up. If you are building one of the three Offiziere, that can decide it instead. The Energy Manifold is the same on every path. The Fraktionsruf page explains what the points do.
Other three-way faction choices
| Mission | Warp zum Abschließen | Fights | What the choice changes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bergungsarbeiten | 13 | Keine | Officer shard and which faction gains reputation |
| Die klingonischen Separatisten | 18 | Separatist ship, about 75,312, plus path fights | 4 shards of Chang, Vemet or Spock, faction credits and reputation |
| Unsere Schicksale sind miteinander verbunden | 19 | Two assimilated ships per path | Dilithium, Tritanium or Parsteel |
Salvage Operation is the lightest of these, with no combat and the lowest warp. It pays one shard where The Klingon Separatists pays four, but it takes a fraction of the time.
Tips
Send a non-combat ship. The whole mission is two trips and a decision.
Pick once and move on; the mission has only this one decision. Other missions sorted by level are on the Missionsleitfaden.
