Covering Our Tracks is the second mission in the five-part Discovery storyline in Star Trek Fleet Command, recommended for level 40. To keep the USS Discovery hidden from Starfleet, Stamets wants a Romulan cloaking device, and Burnham volunteers to steal the blueprints from a Romulan shipyard. The mission starts at warp 1, needs warp 53 to complete, and pays 656,000 Dilithium and 400 Ultra Recruit Tokens. Expect two Romulanisch fights, one at the outpost and one while you run.
Covering Our Tracks objectives
There are six objectives and no choice split:
- Go to Ferraria. Location: Ferraria.
- Beam Burnham onto the Romulan Outpost. Location: Ferraria.
- Besiegen Sie die Romulaner Gladius. Location: Ferraria. Enemy strength about 3.01 million.
- Attempt to evade the Romulan pursuit in Olorun. Location: Olorun.
- Besiegen Sie die Romulaner Augur. Location: Olorun. Enemy strength about 3.15 million.
- Kehren Sie zu Ihrer Station zurück.
The outpost on Lossa’Gror in Ferraria builds Romulan Augur ships, so it should hold Tarnung blueprints. Saru objects to the risk, but Burnham insists she is the only one who could pass on the outpost. While she is inside, a Romulan ship decloaks and hails you, and you have to fight. Burnham gets out with the blueprints, more Romulans converge, and you run for Olorun, where an Augur catches up. Back at the station, Stamets finds the blueprints are exactly right, though Technik still lacks a few parts.
Wo und welcher Warp
No pickup system is listed and the mission starts at warp 1. You need warp 53 to complete it, across Ferraria and Olorun. The recommended level is 40.
The two fights are close in strength, about 3.01 million for the Gladius and 3.15 million for the Augur, and there is no station stop between them.

Covering Our Tracks is the first mission in the storyline with combat, and the only one with two named Romulanische Schiffe.
Tips
Go in at full health. You fight the Gladius in Ferraria, then flee straight to Olorun for the Augur. A ship that ends the first fight badly damaged may struggle with the second.
Both enemies are around 3 million strength, on par with the USS Fairbanks fight later in the storyline, so bring your best combat ship for level 40.
The 400 Ultra Recruit Tokens are the useful part of the reward. The rest of the Discovery story is on the Discovery arc page, and every mission by level is on the mission guide.
