The Catalyst is a Star Trek Fleet Command mission that sends you into the Rowla system to rescue the Corvallen family. The Corvallen are a mercenary people from the wider Star Trek setting, and here their ships stand between you and the family you are sent to save. It sits behind a warp 64 jump and pairs a rescue with two ship fights against Corvallen forces, each hostile sitting near two million strength. Clear it and you walk away with 4★ ship parts and a large Romulanisch reputation reward. The mission is short, but the combat is real, so treat it as a fight rather than a courier run.
The Catalyst objectives
Every step plays out in the Rowla system, so you only make one jump to run the whole mission:
- Save the Corvallen family in Rowla.
- Stop the Corvallen guards in Rowla (hostile strength around 1,969,977).
- Destroy the remaining Corvallen ship in Rowla (hostile strength around 1,950,820).
- Kehren Sie zu Ihrem Bahnhof zurück.
The two combat steps are the wall here. You handle the guards first, then the remaining Corvallen ship, so it plays out as two fights rather than one big battle. Both ships sit close to two million strength, so a mining or survey ship will not carry you through. Bring a warship and a crew set up for a straight fight before you open the mission.
Wo und welcher Warp
The Catalyst begins and ends in Rowla, at warp 64 from your base. Because the whole mission stays in one system, the warp to reach it is also the warp to complete it, so plan for a single deep jump instead of a route across the map. Warp 64 is a long reach for most players, so confirm your combat ship has the range, or that you have a station or repair option nearby, before you set out. Because every objective sits in Rowla, staging your fleet in or beside that system saves you from making the warp 64 trip more than once.
The Catalyst rewards
Finishing the mission pays out:
- 600 4★ Gemeinsame Abfangjäger Teile
- 600 4★ Common Explorer Parts
- 500 Romulan Credits
- 180,000 Romulan Points
There is also a faction swing baked into the reward. The Catalyst adds Romulan standing while subtracting 172,800 Föderation Points, so it pushes your reputation toward the Romulans and away from the Federation. Completing the mission opens the next step in the story.
Tips
The 4★ Interceptor and Explorer parts are the practical draw, so this is a useful stop if you are still leveling either hull line. The Romulan Points and Credits help if you are working through Romulan reputation and its store, which is where the mission clearly points you.
Weigh the Federation cost before you commit. Losing 172,800 Federation Points is a real swing, and if you are grinding Federation standing for a ship or officer, this mission works against that. Players deep in Romulan territory will not feel it, but a Federation-focused account should run this with eyes open. Otherwise, jump in with a fighting crew, clear both Corvallen ships in Rowla, and collect the parts.
