Predators is a level 28 mission in Star Trek Fleet Command where you retrieve a set of stolen ships. It can be picked up at warp 1 and needs warp 24 to finish, with two trips to D0D-G, thirteen hostile kills of level 29 or higher, and a final fight against the Trader at about 153,000 strength. The reward is 50 3★ Uncommon Refined Kristall, and finishing it unlocks Chip Off The Block. It is a grind-heavy mission for a modest payout.
Predators objectives
Es gibt sieben Ziele und keine Verzweigung durch Entscheidungen:
- Find the ships. Location: D0D-G.
- Defeat 5 Hostiles of Level 29 or higher.
- Kehren Sie zu Ihrer Station zurück.
- Gather the rest of the ships. Location: D0D-G.
- Defeat 8 Hostiles of Level 29 or higher.
- Kehren Sie zu Ihrer Station zurück.
- Defeat the Trader. Enemy strength is roughly 153,150.
The mission runs in two rounds. In the first, you find some of the stolen ships in D0D-G, clear five level 29+ hostiles, and return to your station. The second round repeats the pattern: gather the rest of the ships in D0D-G, clear eight more level 29+ hostiles, and return to your station again. Only then does the Trader appear as the final objective. No system is named for the hostile kills or the Trader fight.
Wo und welcher Warp
Predators has no named pickup system and can be picked up at warp 1. Completing it takes warp 24, the range for D0D-G. The recommended level is 28.
The hostile kills are all against level 29 or higher, one level above the recommended level, and the Trader at about 153,150 strength is the named fight.
Predators rewards
| Belohnung | Amount |
|---|---|
| 3★ Ungewöhnlich Veredelter Kristall | 50 |
Completing Predators unlocks the next mission, Der Chip vom Block.
Fifty 3★ Uncommon Refined Crystal is the whole reward. It is useful for research and building costs that ask for refined crystal, but it is a thin return for thirteen hostile kills, two trips and a named fight.

Too Close for Comfort, where you get Ahvix close to the trader, leads into this mission. Chip Off The Block follows, where you recruit Ro Mudd, and its two fights are a clear step up at around 200,000 strength.
Too Close for Comfort itself is one of two missions that can follow Angebot und Nachfrage, depending on whether you follow Ahvix’s plan or Eurydice’s.
Tips
Farm the hostile kills close to D0D-G. You go back there for the second round, so staying in that area saves travel.
Repair at each return to station. The mission sends you home twice before the Trader, which gives you two built-in repair stops.
Prepare for Chip Off The Block. The next mission’s fights are about 50,000 strength harder than the Trader. More missions around level 28 are on the Missionsleitfaden.
