Catching a Killer III is the level 54 mission in Star Trek Fleet Command that closes Detective Olgak’s murder case. It starts at warp 1 and needs warp 285 to complete. A killing in New London leads you to Merius, where you decide whether to disable Azot’s ship and arrest him or destroy it. Arresting him pays Officer XP and speed ups; destroying his ship pays 2,000 Latinum and 186.3 million Tritanium. Both paths are short, so the choice comes down to which reward you need.
Catching a Killer III objectives
Detectives in New London report a murder that looks like Azot’s work, with another advanced security system bypassed. The killer left a note addressed to Olgak. It is a cipher: the first letters of one of its phrases spell out Merius, where Azot is waiting for the detective.
- Speak with the detective in New London. Location: New London.
- Follow the clue left by the killer. Location: Merius.
- What should we do? Olgak asks how to deal with Azot.
At Merius, Azot tells Olgak the other victims meant nothing and that the detective was his real target all along. Olgak wants him in custody, but he also floats ending it on the spot.
Path 1: disable his ship so that we can apprehend him
Olgak agrees not to sink to Azot’s level. Azot is beamed to the brig and taken back for trial.
- Disable Azot’s ship. Location: Merius.
- Escort Detective Olgak back to the station. Location: Necrocormeum.
Path 2: destroy his ship so that he cannot kill again
Olgak agrees there is no other choice, and Azot’s ship is destroyed.
- Destroy Azot’s ship. Location: Merius.
- Escort Detective Olgak back to the station. Location: Necrocormeum.
Either way, the case leaves its mark on Olgak, and he decides to take time off. On the arrest path Azot rants in his cell; on the other, Olgak wonders if Azot got the ending he wanted.

Tips
The destroy path pays the most Tritanium of any path in the case, 186,300,000. If you took the Amalia path in the second mission and want more Latinum, destroying the ship doubles your Latinum from the case to 4,000.
The arrest path suits you if you are short on time rather than Ressourcen. Its 600 3 Hour Speed Ups come to 1,800 hours, alongside 35,000 Officer XP.
Faction points do not depend on the choice. More missions around this level are on the mission guide.
