Latinum? You Can’t Eat That! is a level 62 mission in Star Trek Fleet Befehl in which you help a Ferengi businessman named Bolk recover a farm the Federation took over. You pick it up in Redreev and need warp 900 to start and to finish. The route runs to Solas Astra and back, with a 100M Parsteel donation in the middle and no combat. The reward is 164,000 Latinum, 1 Aamaarazan Breathing Mask and 208,000 Raw Σ-Parsteel. It is a light mission if you have the Parsteel spare.
Latinum? You Can’t Eat That! objectives
There are four objectives in a fixed order, with no choice split:
- Meet with Bolk. Location: Redreev.
- Sneak into Federation territory. Location: Solas Astra.
- Provide 100M Parsteel to the food farm.
- Extract Bolk from the farm and take him home. Location: Redreev.
Bolk says he runs an organic produce farm on a planet in Solas Astra. While he was away on Ferenginar, the Föderation claimed the whole sector to keep the Klingons and Romulans out, and his farm, crops and equipment ended up under their jurisdiction. He wants to slip across the border and bring in the harvest before it spoils.
The Federation lookouts let you through, and the crop is ready. The farm’s cargo containers are gone, though, and Bolk blames Starfleet. He needs new boxes and crates replicated, which is where the 100M Parsteel goes. He promises the food will feed refugees back in the Alpha Quadrant, at a healthy mark-up.
While Bolk beams down to check the packing, a Starfleet security ship hails you on a routine patrol, asking about Actian Brood sightings nearby. Nothing comes of it. You pick Bolk up and take him home to Redreev, where he pays your fee and refuses to answer any questions.
Wo und welcher Warp
The pickup is Redreev, and warp 900 covers both the start and the finish. There are only two systems on the route: Redreev at each end and Solas Astra in the middle, where the farm is. The recommended level is 62.
Since nothing in the mission has to be fought, the warp range and the Parsteel donation are the only things that can stop you.
Latinum? You Can’t Eat That! rewards
| Belohnung | Amount |
|---|---|
| Latinum | 164,000 |
| Aamaarazan Breathing Mask | 1 |
| Raw Σ-Parsteel | 208,000 |
The mission pays no faction points and no faction credits, so it does not change your standing with the Federation, the Klingonen or the Romulans, even though the whole job is a quiet trip into Federation space.
Tips
Have the Parsteel ready before you reach Solas Astra. The 100M donation comes right after you cross the border, and once it is paid the only step left is the trip back to Redreev. At level 62, 100M Parsteel is a modest cost next to 164,000 Latinum and 208,000 Raw Σ-Parsteel.
Any ship with warp 900 will do. There is no hostile to beat and no enemy strength listed on any objective, so you can send a survey or explorer ship and keep your combat ships free for other missions.
Keep an eye on what Bolk asks for. The story plays him as a smuggler who dresses every request up as charity, but the mission itself only asks you for the Parsteel, and he pays in full at the end. Other missions sorted by level are on the mission guide.
