Recuperation is Augments Part 17 in Star Trek Fleet Command, a collection mission in Khan’s Augments storyline. The Daten lists a recommended level of 1 and warp 1 to start and finish, so the mission itself sends you nowhere. You collect 3 Dark Matter samples from missions in the Kor Na Ron and Paradane systems, then claim 37,000 Tritanium and 600 Premium Recruit Tokens. Finishing it unlocks Rückläufiges Licht, Augments Part 18.
Recuperation objectives
The story line for this part reads: acquire 3 new Dark Matter samples from missions in the Kor Na Ran and Paradane systems. There is a single objective and no choice split:
- Collect 3 Dark Matter Samples.
No system is attached to the objective itself. The samples come from other missions, and the story text points you to two systems for them: Kor Na Ron und Paradane. The in-game text spells the first one “Kor Na Ran”, but the system elsewhere in the game data is Kor Na Ron.
One mission picked up in Kor Na Ron, Nachhaltigkeit, lists 1 Dark Matter among its rewards, so it is a sensible place to start looking. Recuperation does not name the specific missions it counts, so check the rewards of the missions on offer in both systems before you commit a ship to them.
Wo und welcher Warp
Recuperation has no pickup system and asks for warp 1 to start and warp 1 to complete. The warp you need in practice is whatever the Dark Matter missions in Kor Na Ron and Paradane ask for, since those are where the samples come from.
The recommended level is listed as 1, but this is Part 17 of a long chain, and the next part asks for warp 23 and a fight against a ship of roughly 102,720 strength.
Recuperation rewards
| Belohnung | Amount |
|---|---|
| Tritanium | 37,000 |
| Premium Recruit Token | 600 |
Completing Recuperation also unlocks Receding Light, the next part of the Augments chain.
Recuperation compared with Parts 16 and 18
The parts on either side of Recuperation show how the Augments chain alternates between collection steps and field missions.
| Teil | Warp zum Abschließen | What you do | Belohnungen |
|---|---|---|---|
| Part 16: No Rest for the Wicked | 1 | Collect 500 Augment Kredite | 1 each of 3★ Rare Refined Kristall, Gas and Ore, 300 Augment Points |
| Part 17: Recuperation | 1 | Collect 3 Dark Matter Samples | 37,000 Tritanium, 600 Premium Recruit Token |
| Part 18: Receding Light | 23 | Five objectives in Ifrea-3 and Olassa, including a fight and 8 hostiles of level 27 or higher | 752,000 Parsteel, 7 3 Hour Speed Up |
Parts 16 and 17 are both collection steps you finish from your station. Part 18 is where the chain goes back into the field, with Khan taken to an anomaly in Ifrea-3 and a Vaaran Research Vessel to destroy there.
Tips
Plan around the other missions. The samples come from missions in Kor Na Ron and Paradane, so there is no separate trip for Recuperation itself; the travel and fighting happen in those missions, and each of them pays its own rewards on top.
The 600 Premium Recruit Tokens are the part of the payout to plan around. The 37,000 Tritanium is small next to the 752,000 Parsteel that Receding Light pays one step later.
Get a combat ship ready before you claim the reward. Receding Light opens straight after and needs warp 23, a fight in Ifrea-3, and 8 hostile kills at level 27 or higher. The rest of Khan’s story is collected on the Augment missions page, and every mission by level is on the Missionsleitfaden.
