Hysteria is a level 63 story mission in Star Trek Fleet Command in which a distress call from the Mistrare system leads you into a battle with no sides. It starts at warp 1 and needs warp 1,100 to complete. After the trip to Mistrare you defeat 18 hostiles of level 62 or higher. The reward is 5,000 Σ-Parsteel and 145,000 Raw Σ-Dilithium, and finishing it unlocks Siblings in Arms. It is a grind mission more than a story set piece, but the refined Σ-Parsteel makes it worth the time.
Hysteria objectives
There are two objectives and no choice split:
- Investigate a distress call. Location: Mistrare.
- Defeat 18 hostiles of level 62 or higher.
The call comes from Jules, who reports that Mistrare is under attack, its defences are down and its militia destroyed. When you arrive, Maia finds the whole system fighting itself, with no battle lines or formations, and your ship becomes a target too. That is the reason for the hostile count: you have to fight your way through.
Afterwards Jules explains what happened. Her crew on the orbital mining platform Astrid was waiting for a Dilithium shipment when the convoy, captained by a friend who had been to her home, opened fire. Within moments civilian ships were being destroyed and cities bombarded, including San Clefco, where she grew up. Maia promises to find out why.
Wo und welcher Warp
There is no pickup system, so the mission starts at warp 1. Mistrare needs warp 1,100 to reach, and that is the completion figure. The recommended level is 63.
The 18 hostiles have no system attached, so any hostile of level 62 or higher counts wherever you find it once the Mistrare step is done.

Hysteria and its neighbours
| Mission | Recommended level | Warp to complete | Fights | Belohnungen |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bend Your Ear | 63 | 1,100 | Kurlon’s vessel, about 3.39 billion strength | 3,000 Culver Particle, 156,000 Raw Σ-Parsteel |
| Hysteria | 63 | 1,100 | 18 hostiles of level 62 or higher | 5,000 Σ-Parsteel, 145,000 Raw Σ-Dilithium |
| Siblings in Arms | 63 | 1,100 | The USS Hudson, about 4.19 billion strength | 600 Σ-Dilithium, 145,000 Raw Σ-Parsteel |
All three share warp 1,100, so one ship can run them in a row. Hysteria is the only one of the three that pays refined Σ-Parsteel rather than the raw form.
Tips
Eighteen kills is the bulk of the work. Hostiles of level 62 and up hit hard, so use a combat ship you can repair quickly and fight in short runs rather than one long one.
If your ship struggles against level 62 hostiles, the combat training missions at this level are a way to test a crew first. The Σ resources guide explains Σ-Parsteel and Raw Σ-Dilithium. Hysteria belongs to the storyline that opens with The Frontier, and the rest of the missions at this level are on the mission guide.
