Symbiosis II is a ten-part mission chain in which you take the interdimensional fight to Gabriel Lorca. With Masriad Vael’s dimensional sensitivity as your guide, you face Lorca’s alternate champions, collect the multidimensionalist Brachda Kadal, gather the parts of a Reality Buffer and finally banish Lorca into the void. Every part is recommended for level 38 and starts at warp 1, with finishes from warp 1 to warp 48. The chain pays two Masriad Vael shards and three Byr Ch’Kelrer shards, plus Parsteel, Tritanium, Latinum and XP. It has no donations, so the cost is time and fights.

Tips for completing Symbiosis II
This chain never asks you to donate Ressourcen, so you can start it without saving up. Your only concerns are range and combat.
Warp 48 covers everything. Parts 5, 6, 7 and 9 sit at 47 or 48, while Parts 1, 4 and 8 stay in the 25 to 27 range and Part 10 happens at your station.
Named fights are all between about 750,000 and 940,000 strength. Several parts put two of them back to back, and Parts 2 and 6 each add a sweep of 10 hostiles, so those two take the longest.
Masriad Vael also features in the first Symbiosis chain, if you want her earlier story and more rewards at the same level 38.
Are the Symbiosis II rewards worth it?
Yes, especially since nothing is spent. Across ten parts you collect two Masriad Vael shards, three Byr Ch’Kelrer shards, 50,775,000 Parsteel, 10,268,000 Tritanium, 2,126,000 Dilithium, 3,000 Latinum, 300,000 Ship XP, 146,000 Officer XP and 3,000 Trait XP. The fights stay small, so the main cost is the number of trips. The STFC mission guide lists other level 38 chains.
