Tainted Knowledge is a level 14 story mission in Star Trek Fleet Command in which you settle matters with the colonists and return Ensign Tilly safely to the Discovery. It starts at warp 1 and needs warp 7 to complete, and the combat is three Romulanisch fights in Clytomenes, each about 6,500 to 6,700 strength. The reward is 1,700 Tritanium, 15 1★ Battleship Parts and 10 2★ Interceptor Parts. It closes out this stretch of the Discovery story with a short run of fights close to home.
Tainted Knowledge objectives
The story line reads: settle matters with the colonists and return Ensign Tilly safely to the decks of the Discovery. There are five objectives and no choice split:
- Bring the colonists home. Location: Klytomenes.
- Defeat the first Romulan Enforcer. Location: Clytomenes. Enemy strength about 6,613.
- Defeat the next Romulan Enforcer. Location: Clytomenes. Enemy strength about 6,745.
- Defeat Subcommander Torok. Location: Clytomenes. Enemy strength about 6,548.
- Kehren Sie zu Ihrer Station zurück.
Everything outside your station happens in Clytomenes. You bring the colonists home, then face two Romulan Enforcers and Subcommander Torok in turn, and finish by returning to your station.
Wo und welcher Warp
The mission starts at warp 1 and needs warp 7 to complete. Clytomenes is the only system named.
The recommended level is 14. The three Romulan fights are close in strength, all between about 6,500 and 6,750, so if you can win one you can usually win the others.
Tainted Knowledge rewards

No next mission is listed as unlocked by Tainted Knowledge.
Where it sits in the story
Die Mission davor ist Hinterhältige Beweggründe, also level 14, which needs warp 15 and pays 19,000 Parsteel and 6 15 Minute Repair Speed Ups. Ulterior Motives follows Spinnereiplatten, the level 12 mission where you first defend the colony in Clytomenes from Klingon Bombardiers.
So Clytomenes is where this part of the story starts and ends. Spinning Plates answers the colony’s distress call, and Tainted Knowledge settles matters with the colonists and returns Tilly to the Entdeckung.
Tips
Repair once before the three fights and check your health between them. They come back to back, with no travel step to break them up.
The strongest of the three is the second Romulan Enforcer, at about 6,745. Subcommander Torok, the last one, is actually the weakest.
The ship parts reward is split across two hull types, battleship and interceptor, so it helps whichever of the two you are building. Ensign Tilly is also an officer in the game. Other missions by level are on the Missionsleitfaden.
