The Sting of Defeat is a story mission in Star Trek Fleet Command where you cross into Romulan space to ask their cybernetic experts for help. It starts at warp 1 and needs warp 19 to complete, with everything outside your station happening in Rooth. The game lists a recommended level of 1. There is one fight, a Romulanisch Guard at roughly 198,251 strength. The reward is 120 3★ Battleship Parts and 250 3★ Gemeinsame Refined Ore, which is a useful haul for anyone upgrading a Battleship.
The Sting of Defeat objectives
Es gibt vier Ziele und keine Verzweigung:
- Go into Romulan Space. Location: Rooth.
- Defeat the Romulan Guard. Location: Rooth. Enemy strength is roughly 198,251.
- Ask the Romulans for help. Location: Rooth.
- Kehren Sie zu Ihrer Station zurück.
The mission is a single trip. You fly into Romulan space at Rooth, get past the Romulan Guard, make your request, then head home.
Wo und welcher Warp
No pickup system is listed. The mission becomes available at warp 1, but finishing it takes warp 19, which is what Rooth requires.
The game lists a recommended level of 1. The Romulan Guard at about 198,251 strength is what actually decides whether you are ready, along with the warp 19 range.
The Sting of Defeat rewards
| Belohnung | Amount |
|---|---|
| 3★ Battleship Parts | 120 |
| 3★ Common Refined Erze | 250 |
Completing it unlocks the next mission, Over the Line.
What comes next
Over the Line takes the story into Föderation space at Hann and needs warp 18 to complete. It has a choice split, which this mission does not:
| Mission | Warp zum Abschließen | Fight | Belohnungen |
|---|---|---|---|
| Der Stachel der Niederlage | 19 | Romulan Guard (~198,251) | 120 3★ Battleship Parts, 250 3★ Common Refined Ore |
| Over the Line, help Dalen | 18 | Starfleet guard (~204,300) | 400 Ultra-Rekruten-Token |
| Over the Line, return to your base | 18 | Keine | 20 15 Minute Repair Speed Up |
If you help Dalen in Over the Line, the fight is close in strength to this mission’s Romulan Guard, so a ship that wins here should be ready for it. The other path skips combat entirely.
Enemies around 198,000 to 204,000 strength also appear in From the Brink and The Inevitable, so this is a common difficulty band for Missionen at this warp range.
Tips
Bring a combat ship. The Romulan Guard is the only fight, but at nearly 200,000 strength it will beat a mining or survey ship.
Put the Battleship Parts toward a Battleship tier-up. 120 3★ parts in one go is a solid chunk, and the 250 3★ Common Refined Ore helps with building and research costs that call for refined ore.
Repair when you get home. The last objective returns you to your station anyway, so any damage from the Romulan Guard can be fixed before Over the Line.
