For the Empire is a Star Trek Fleet Command story mission where you assist the Klingons with their research into a mysterious object. The game lists a recommended level of 1, it opens at warp 1 and needs warp 13 to complete, and it runs across Vindemiatrix, Amador and Krah’Hor. Along the way you fight two Suliban ships, both under 17,000 strength. The reward is 3 Kerla shards and 43,000 Officer XP, and finishing it unlocks A Second Opinion. It is a quick early mission with an officer payout.
For the Empire objectives
There are five objectives in a fixed order, with no choice split:
- Meet with Kerla in Vindemiatrix. Location: Vindemiatrix.
- Scan a piece of the object in Amador. Location: Amador.
- Destroy the Suliban Explorer. Location: Amador. Enemy strength is roughly 12,905.
- Destroy the Suliban Destroyer. Location: Amador. Enemy strength is roughly 16,758.
- Bring some of the materials to the Klingonen. Standort: Krah'Hor.
The mission opens with a meeting. Kerla is waiting in Vindemiatrix, and that step only needs you to arrive. From there the work moves to Amador, where you scan a piece of the object and then deal with the Suliban who turn up.
The two Suliban fights come back to back in Amador. The Explorer is the lighter of the two at about 12,905 strength, and the Destroyer follows at about 16,758. Once both are gone, you carry the materials to the Klingons in Krah’Hor to close out the mission.
Wo und welcher Warp
For the Empire can be picked up at warp 1, and no pickup system is named. Finishing it needs warp 13, which covers the trip between Vindemiatrix, Amador and Krah’Hor.
The recommended level is 1. The Suliban Destroyer at around 16,758 strength is the step that tells you whether your ship is ready.
For the Empire rewards
| Belohnung | Amount |

Completing For the Empire also unlocks the next mission, A Second Opinion.
How it fits between its neighbours
For the Empire sits in the middle of a short run of Missionen about the same object. It follows Übertretungen, where you find the object in Krah’Hor and choose what to do about the Klingons, and it leads into Eine Zweitmeinung.
| Mission | Warp zum Abschließen | Fights | Belohnungen |
|---|---|---|---|
| Übertretungen | 13 | Depends on your choice: one ship at about 12,905, or two Klingons at about 16,758 and 16,207 | Varies by path (faction points, refined Kristall, Explorer parts or Parsteel) |
| Für das Kaiserreich | 13 | Suliban Explorer and Suliban Destroyer in Amador | 3 Kerla shards, 43,000 Officer XP |
| Eine Zweitmeinung | 15 | None listed | 5,000 Dilithium |
A Second Opinion raises the warp requirement to 15 and asks you to pay 16,000 Tritanium for a transistor, so it is worth having that Tritanium ready before you finish For the Empire.
Tips
Use a combat ship rather than a miner. Both Suliban fights happen in Amador one after the other, so plan to repair between them if the Explorer leaves you damaged.
Kerla shards are the reason to run this mission early. The three shards add to whatever Kerla shards you collect elsewhere, and the 43,000 Officer XP can go straight into levelling your current crew.
Keep your route short. Vindemiatrix, Amador and Krah’Hor are the only systems involved, and everything after the first step happens in Amador until the final delivery. Other missions by level are on the Missionsleitfaden.
