Due North is a station mission in Star Trek Fleet Command with a single objective: upgrade Operations to level 30. It needs warp 1 to start and finish, and the game lists a recommended level of 1. The reward is 5,000,000 Parsteel, and completing it unlocks Ihr guter Ruf eilt Ihnen voraus. The mission rewards an upgrade you were going to make anyway, so the Operations 30 build is the real work.
Due North objectives
The story line is to improve the Station’s Operations further. There is one objective and no choice split:
- Upgrade Operations to Level 30.
No system is named, no hostile is listed and nothing is donated. The mission clears when Operations reaches level 30.
Wo und welcher Warp
Warp 1 to start and warp 1 to complete, with no pickup system. The whole mission happens on your station.
The recommended level shows as 1, but the mission can only complete once Operations 30 is built, so that upgrade is the gate.
What Operations 30 costs
Current game Daten for the Operations 30 upgrade, with the level before and after for context:
| Ebene | Main costs | Base build time | Anforderungen |
|---|---|---|---|

Before you can start Operations 30 you need the Werft at 29, Defense Platform D at 10 and the Ship Hangar at 29. The 5,000,000 Parsteel reward covers roughly a sixth of the Parsteel the level 30 upgrade costs.
Due North rewards
The mission pays 5,000,000 Parsteel. Completing it also unlocks the next mission, Your Reputation Precedes You.
What comes next
Your Reputation Precedes You is another warp 1 mission. It asks you to earn a Commendation Rank III from any faction and pays 5,000,000 Parsteel and 800 Ultra Recruit Tokens. The two Missionen together hand out 10,000,000 Parsteel, which goes a long way toward the Operations 31 upgrade that follows.
Tips
Line up the three requirement Gebäude first. Shipyard 29 and Ship Hangar 29 are both large upgrades on their own, and Defense Platform D 10 is easy to overlook because it sits far below the level of everything else on the list.
Stockpile refined ore early. The Operations 30 upgrade asks for 1,640 3★ Common Refined Ore and 390 3★ Uncommon Refined Ore, which take longer to gather than raw Ressourcen.
Put the 5,000,000 Parsteel straight toward Operations 31. The mission before this one is Belobigung für Tapferkeit, and other missions by level are on the mission guide.
