Mollusc is a level 53 mission in Star Trek Fleet Command where you weaken the Sunspots gang by wiping out another of its leaders. It is picked up in Merius and needs warp 255 to start and finish, with every located step in Merius. You defeat 20 hostiles of level 52 or higher, then Mollusc, and take the wreckage to Tunet. The reward is five 1B Parsteel Tokens, 9,000,000 Dilithium, 10 30 Minute Repair Speed Ups and three 100K Tritanium Tokens.
Mollusc objectives
There are four objectives and no choice split:
- Seek out Mollusc. Location: Merius.
- Defeat 20 hostiles of Level 52 or higher.
- Defeat Mollusc. Location: Merius. Enemy strength around 17,647,953.
- Take Mollusc’s wreckage to Tunet. Location: Merius.
The hostile count has no system attached. Once it is done, Mollusc is the final fight, and delivering the wreckage to Tunet in Merius ends the mission.
Wo und welcher Warp
The pickup system is Merius, and warp 255 covers the mission. The recommended level is 53.
Twenty hostiles plus Mollusc at around 17.6 million strength make this one of the longer fights in its group.

Missions with the same reward pattern

Tips
Grind the 20 hostiles in or near Merius so you are ready when Mollusc appears.
Repair before the final fight, since it follows a long grind.
Brain and Brawn, a level 53 KSG story mission, also has a pirate base in Merius, and Where, Oh, Where Oh, a KSG side mission picked up in Seretos, has you fight a Borg Probe there, so you may already know the system. More missions by level are on the mission guide.
