No Path But Through is a level 69 story mission in Star Trek Fleet Command whose only objective is to upgrade Operations to level 69. It runs entirely on your station, so it needs just warp 1 to start and to complete. The reward is 799,000 Raw Σ-Dilithium and 27,000 Σ-Parsteel, and finishing it unlocks Convergence, the push to stop the Cult. For an upgrade you would make anyway, the Raw Σ-Dilithium is a generous bonus.
No Path But Through objectives
There is no choice split and no travel. The single step is:
- Upgrade Operations to level 69.
The story is a turning point. The Klingons, the Romulans and even Starfleet have declined to help, the Cult holds Maia, and Toryn says the Nameless are days from swallowing the galaxy. Riker, Worf and Toryn share what may be a last drink and talk about what they will miss: Romulan Ale, music, Klingonisch opera and Worf’s son.
Picard refuses to let his crew give up. He says despair only has the power they give it, and asks them to follow him one final time. Worf says he will follow him to Gre’thor. Then Picard reveals he has had a plan all along, and he needs as much power as your station can spare, which is where the Operations upgrade comes in. By the end, Daten reports reserves at 92%, and Geordi is asking for more time to finish the simulations.
Wo und welcher Warp
No system is involved. Warp 1 covers both the start and the finish, and the recommended level is 69. What actually gates the mission is having Operations ready to go to level 69.

| Belohnung | Amount |

Where it sits in the Cult storyline
No Path But Through is one of several station and story steps between level 68 and 69. The missions around it look like this:
| Mission | Ebene | Warp to complete | Objective | Belohnungen |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| No Truth But Fiction | 68 | 1 | Upgrade Operations to level 68 | 150,000 6★ Raw Gas, 180 6★ Common Refined Ore, 443,000 Raw Σ-Tritanium |
| Ad Astra | 68 | 1,500 | Appeal to Starfleet in Nisa | 18,000 6★ Roherz, 1 1 Hour Σ-Speed Up |
| No Path But Through | 69 | 1 | Upgrade Operations to level 69 | 799,000 Raw Σ-Dilithium, 27,000 Σ-Parsteel |
| Convergence | 69 | 1,550 | Find the Cult in Ares Cradle and rescue Maia | 1,598,000 Raw Σ-Tritanium, 1,598,000 Raw Σ-Dilithium |
| The Voyages | 69 | 1,300 | Fight alongside Voyager and the Defiant | 2,045,000 Raw Σ-Parsteel, 5 10 Minute Σ-Speed Up |
The Starfleet appeal in Ad Astra comes just before this mission, which fits the mood of the opening scene. Convergence is where the fighting resumes.
Tips
Start the Operations upgrade as early as you can. The rest of the storyline waits on it, and Convergence right after asks for warp 1,550, 18 kills and a 6,900 Σ-Dilithium donation, so it helps to have your ship free while the building finishes.
The 799,000 Raw Σ-Dilithium is the bulk of the reward, and Convergence pays another 1,598,000, so the two missions together come to almost 2.4 million. The Σ resources page covers where it goes.
The wiki has pages for Jean-Luc Picard, Worf und Toryn, who all appear in the opening scene. The storyline continues past The Voyages to The Road Least Traveled at level 70, and the mission guide covers the rest.
