Bartered Goods is a mission in Star Trek Fleet Command’s early Borg storyline with Dalen. To get the technology Dalen needs for his research, you go to Draken and bargain with the Romulans: pay 750,000 Tritanium, or perform a service by dealing with a Romulanisch informant in Rana Nur. The game lists a recommended level of 25, and the mission can be accepted at warp 1 but needs warp 17 to complete. Paying earns 26 3★ Uncommon Refined Gas; the service earns fifty 1 Hour Speed Ups. Either way it unlocks Trespasser.
Bartered Goods objectives
The story line asks you to trade services to the Romulans in exchange for technology necessary to continue Dalen’s research. Everyone starts the same way:
- Go to Draken and appeal to the Romulans for a trade. Location: Draken.
- Wählen Sie, wie Sie die Technologie bezahlen wollen.
If you purchase the technology
- Pay 750,000 Tritanium to the Romulans.
- Return to Dalen on Qualor IX with an update. Location: Qualor.
If you perform a service for the technology (Romulan path)
- Seek out the Romulan informant in Rana Nur. Location: Rana Nur.
- Defeat the Romulan informant. Location: Rana Nur. Enemy strength is roughly 44,329.
- Return to Dalen on Qualor IX with an update. Location: Qualor.
The purchase path is a payment and one trip. The service path adds a detour to Rana Nur and a fight against the informant.
Wo und welcher Warp
The mission can be accepted at warp 1, but Draken, Rana Nur and Qualor need warp 17 to complete it. The recommended level is 25. The informant at about 44,329 strength is in the same range as the other fights in Dalen’s Missionen, and the purchase path skips it entirely.
Bartered Goods rewards
| Belohnung | Purchase the technology | Perform a service |
|---|---|---|
| 3★ Ungewöhnlich Raffiniertes Gas | 26 | keine |
| 1 Hour Speed Up | keine | 50 |
Either choice unlocks the next mission, Unbefugter. Neither path changes Fraktionsruf.
Choosing a path
The service path pays fifty hours of speed ups for one fight and costs nothing. The purchase path costs 750,000 Tritanium and pays 26 3★ Uncommon Refined Gas. Pick by what you are short of: build time, or refined gas.
Dalen’s missions
| Mission | Warp zum Abschließen | What happens | Belohnungen |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deal mit einem Teufel | 18 | Help Dalen acquire Cybernetic Fragments; defeat Captain Farrell in Gemet (about 44,970) | 11,000 Dilithium, 5 3★ Uncommon Refined Kristall, 50 Cybernetic Fragments |
| Kybernetik | 17 | Deliver the fragments to Dalen on Qualor IX and donate 50 of them | 70 × 15 Minuten Reparaturgeschwindigkeit |
| Getauschte Waren | 17 | Buy or earn technology from the Romulans | Refined Gas or 1 Hour Speed Ups |
| Unbefugter | 18 | Investigate a new source of Cybernetic Fragments in Yadow, clear 10 level 25 hostiles and defeat Utrok (about 43,849) | 678,000 Parsteel, 5 × 8 Hour Speed Up |
All four share a recommended level of 25 and warp 17 or 18, and the fights stay in the 43,000 to 45,000 strength range. After Trespasser the storyline continues in Faustischer Pakt.
Tips
Decide at Draken. The choice comes straight after the appeal, so have 750,000 Tritanium ready if you plan to pay.
The informant fight is the same difficulty as the rest of Dalen’s missions, so a ship that cleared Deal With A Devil can take it.
The wider storyline is on the Borg arc page, and other missions are on the Missionsleitfaden.
