Initial Errands is an Orion Syndicate mission in Star Trek Fleet Command where you decide the fate of the crew of a civilian mining vessel, the Italus. After flying to the mines in Sotavi, you either disable the Italus and hand its crew to the Orion Syndicate, or escort the crew into hiding in Sileo. It starts at warp 1 and needs warp 64 to complete. The Syndicate path pays 21,000,000 Parsteel plus Tritanium and Dilithium; the hiding path pays 200 Premium Recruit Tokens.
Initial Errands objectives
The mission opens with two shared steps:
- Go to the mines in Sotavi. Location: Sotavi.
- Decide what to do with the crew.
Path 1: deliver the crew to the Orion Syndicate
- Disable the Italus. Location: Sotavi (enemy strength about 1,075,836).
- Deliver the crew of the Italus to the Orion Syndikat. Standort: Orion.
Rewards on this path: 21,000,000 Parsteel, 3,150,000 Tritanium and 900,000 Dilithium.
Path 2: escort the crew into hiding
- Escort the crew of the Italus into hiding in Sileo. Location: Sileo.
- Return with the Italus’ cargo to Orion Prime. Location: Orion.
Rewards on this path: 200 Premium Recruit Tokens.
Wo und welcher Warp
Initial Errands has no pickup system and starts at warp 1. It needs warp 64 to complete. Both paths start at Sotavi and end in the Orion system; the hiding path adds a stop in Sileo on the way.
The game lists a recommended level of 1, but warp 64 is the real entry point, and Path 1 adds a fight at just over 1 million strength.
Initial Errands rewards
| Belohnung | Path 1 (Syndicate) | Path 2 (hiding) |
|---|---|---|
| Parsteel | 21,000,000 | keine |
| Tritanium | 3,150,000 | keine |
| Dilithium | 900,000 | keine |
| Premium Recruit Token | keine | 200 |
Completing either path unlocks the next mission in the chain.

| Mission | Recommended level | Warp zum Abschließen | Belohnungen |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kosten für die Abdeckung | 1 | 70 | 120 each of 4★ Uncommon Refined Kristall, Gas and Ore |

Tips
Choose by what you are short on. Path 1 is a large resource drop, especially the 21 million Parsteel, but it means a fight with the Italus. Path 2 avoids combat entirely and gives recruit tokens instead.
If your ship cannot beat a target at about 1.08 million strength yet, Path 2 is the safe way to keep the storyline moving.
Initial Errands needs slightly less warp than the Missionen on either side of it, so range will not stop you here if you finished Cover Charge. For more Orion Syndicate missions, see the STFC mission guide.
