Muddied Waters is a diplomacy mission in Star Trek Fleet Command. You speak with representatives of the three major factions: Chancellor Gorkon in Khitomer, Charvanek in Draken and Admiral Castle in Hann. It starts at warp 1 and needs warp 18 to complete. There are no fights. The reward is 35 each of 3★ Uncommon Refined Gas, Crystal and Erze, plus 250 Federation Credits and 250 Klingon Credits.
Muddied Waters objectives
The story line is to speak with representatives from the three major factions. There are three objectives and no choice split:
- Meet with Chancellor Gorkon. Location: Khitomer.
- Meet with Charvanek. Location: Draken.
- Meet with Admiral Castle. Location: Hann.
Each step is a meeting in a different system: one Klingon, one Romulanisch and one Federation contact, in that order. Draken is a Romulan system and Hann a Federation one, so the route crosses faction space as you go.
Wo und welcher Warp
There is no pickup system. Muddied Waters starts at warp 1 and needs warp 18 to complete.
The recommended level is 1. With no enemy listed, warp 18 is the only requirement.

Two early Borg missions also send you between faction contacts at a similar warp range:

Muddied Waters is the only one of the three with no combat at all, and the only one that pays faction credits.
Tips
Send any ship with warp 18. There is nothing to fight, so a survey ship can do the full route while your combat ships stay free.
The refined materials come in equal amounts of all three types, which is handy if you are short on one of them. Gorkon also has an officer page, the Zwei Seiten der Medaille page has the Borg mission from the table, and the factions page covers the three powers you meet here. Other missions by level are on the mission guide.
