Prime Federation Tribute is a seven-level Galaxy research that raises your Federation reputation gains and losses from killing hostiles, from 20% at level 1 to 350% at level 7, and grants a daily free bundle of Reputation and Credits in the Federation faction store. It unlocks at R&D Department 30.
What Prime Federation Tribute does
Two effects stack here. The percentage amplifies every Föderation reputation swing you earn from hostiles, in both directions. The daily claim quietly compounds on top, and it scales up steeply at the top levels, which is where much of the line’s long-term value sits.

Unlock requirements
Level 1 needs only R&D Department 30, with no research prerequisites; the ladder to level 7 is in the table above, paid in 6★ and 7★ Uncommon Refined Gas plus dilithium.
Cost and research time
Per-level costs are in the table above. Maxing all 7 levels totals about 10K 6★ Uncommon Refined Gas, 88.4B Dilithium, 4K 7★ Uncommon Refined Gas. The base research time adds up to roughly 14 yr on paper; research speed bonuses cut real timers to a small fraction of that, so use it to compare levels, not to plan your calendar.
Is Prime Federation Tribute worth it?
Yes for Federation-aligned players; between the multiplier and the daily bundle this is the backbone of a reputation climb. Its siblings are Primärer klingonischer Tribut und Primärer romulanischer Tributund Föderation Hingabe stacks the same climb from the ship side. Full branch on the Galaxy Research guide.
