Fatal Flaw is a level 12 main storyline mission in Star Trek Fleet Command where you go after an artifact on Rigel. You find Renba the Archaeologist in the Rigel system, then defeat Jadda to get Renba out. It starts at warp 1 and needs warp 10 to complete. The reward is 10,000 Parsteel and ten 2★ Explorer Parts, and finishing it unlocks Fortification. It is a short two-step mission with one easy fight.
Fatal Flaw objectives
There are two objectives, both in the Rigel system, and no choice split:
- Find Renba the Archaeologist in the Rigel System. Location: Rigel.
- Defeat Jadda in the Rigel System and rescue Renba. Location: Rigel. Enemy strength is roughly 2,905.
Jadda is the only enemy. Winning that fight completes the rescue and the mission in one step, with no return trip listed.
Wo und welcher Warp
You can accept Fatal Flaw at warp 1, and warp 10 is enough to reach Rigel and finish. The recommended level is 12.
Rigel is a level 13 neutral system. The game lists Nausicaan Outlaws there at level 10 to 16. They are not mission targets, but the stronger ones can outclass a level 12 ship, so fly straight to the objective.
Fatal Flaw rewards
| Belohnung | Amount |
|---|---|
| Parsteel | 10,000 |
| 2★ Explorer Parts | 10 |
Completing it unlocks Anreicherung.
Fatal Flaw between two station missions
Fatal Flaw is the one trip out between two station upgrade Missionen in the level 12 stretch of the story.
| Mission | Warp zum Abschließen | What you do | Belohnungen |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kognition | 1 | Give Maia more power to develop the Station | 20,000 Parsteel |
| Fataler Fehler | 10 | Rescue Renba from Jadda in Rigel | 10,000 Parsteel, 10 2★ Explorer Parts |
| Anreicherung | 1 | Upgrade the Station’s defenses | 6.000 Parsteel |
The Explorer Parts are what set Fatal Flaw apart from its neighbours, which pay only Parsteel. It is also the only one of the three that leaves your station.
Other missions in Rigel
Rigel is one of the busiest systems in the early game. Many level 9 to 17 missions end there at the same warp 10, among them Arbitration, Auszug, Viele Monde, Ausreden, Ausreden, Verloren und gefunden and Encroachment. If you have a few of them open, one trip to Rigel can clear several at once.
Tips
Jadda at about 2,900 strength is a light fight for a level 12 ship. Any combat hull you have been using for early hostiles should be enough.
Keep the ten 2★ Explorer Parts for an explorer you plan to tier up. They are the more useful half of the reward at this stage.
Renba returns in Hush, another Rigel mission, where you collect five datapads of Renba’s research. The full story order is on the main storyline missions .
