Prisoners of Conscience is a story mission in Star Trek Fleet Command where you rescue the crew of the Enterprise from unjust imprisonment on Rura Penthe. You investigate the site of an attack in Rigel, break the crew out of the Beta Penthe system past a Klingon Guard Ship, and bring them home. It needs warp 33 to complete, and the one fight is at roughly 418,676 strength. The reward is 1,725,000 Parsteel, and it unlocks the next mission, Knife in the Dark.
Prisoners of Conscience objectives
Four objectives, no choice split:
- Investigate the site of the attack. Location: Rigel.
- Rescue the Besatzung der Enterprise from Rura Penthe. Location: Beta Penthe.
- Defeat the Klingon Guard Ship. Location: Beta Penthe. Enemy strength is roughly 418,676.
- Return the Enterprise crew to your station.
The mission starts in Rigel, where you look over the site of the attack. The trail leads to Rura Penthe in the Beta Penthe system. You get the crew out, but a Klingon Guard Ship at about 419,000 strength stands in the way. Beat it and fly the crew back to your station to finish.
Wo und welcher Warp
There is no pickup system and the mission can be accepted from warp 1. Completing it needs warp 33 for Rigel and Beta Penthe. The game lists a recommended level of 1. The Klingon Guard Ship is the real measure of readiness.
Prisoners of Conscience rewards
The reward is 1,725,000 Parsteel. Completing the mission also unlocks the next mission, Knife in the Dark.
Where it sits in the Praxis storyline
Prisoners of Conscience sits in a run of Missionen that follow the Klingon energy crisis at Praxis and its fallout. Current game Daten:
| Mission | Warp | Fights and costs | Belohnungen |
|---|---|---|---|
| Krise der Praxis | 27 to start, 27 to complete, picked up in Azati | 200K Dilithium donation, no fight | 20 each of 3★ Uncommon Refined Ore, Gas and Kristall |
| Gefangene aus Gewissensgründen | 1 to start, 33 to complete | Klingon Guard Ship, about 418,676 | 1,725,000 Parsteel |
| Knife in the Dark | 1 to start, 10 to complete | Valeris, about 531,649 | 1,479,000 Parsteel |
| The Path to Peace | 1 to start, 10 to complete | General Chang, about 673,107 | 1,515,000 Parsteel |
Prisoners of Conscience has the highest warp of the four and the best Parsteel reward. The fights get harder from here: Valeris and General Chang are both stronger than the Guard Ship, though their missions need far less warp. Rigel is the gemeinsame thread, since all four missions pass through it.
Tips
Bring a combat ship that can beat about 420,000 strength. The Guard Ship fight comes right after the rescue, in the same system, so go in ready for it.
Plan ahead for the rest of the chain. If the Guard Ship was a close fight, strengthen your ship before Knife in the Dark and The Path to Peace, which climb to about 532,000 and 673,000.
Previous mission: Crisis on Praxis. Next mission: Knife in the Dark. More missions by level are on the mission guide.
