Whispers in the Dark is a level 62 Federation mission in Star Trek Fleet Command. Starfleet has written off Starbase 212 as hostile and has no ships to spare, so you go to find out why the station went silent. You pick it up in Triga-5, need warp 1,000 to start and to finish, and do all of the work in Keylali. The last step is a fight at about 4 billion strength, and the reward is 109,000 Latinum, 139,000 Raw Σ-Parsteel and 3,600 Federation Credits.
Whispers in the Dark objectives
There are five objectives in one system and no choice split:
- Find the Starbase. Location: Keylali.
- Follow the signal. Location: Keylali.
- Find more audio logs. Location: Keylali.
- Find more audio logs. Location: Keylali.
- Defeat the mystery assailant. Location: Keylali (enemy strength about 4,031,558,070).
Starbase 212 has no hull damage and no sign of combat, and its power and life support are still running, but there is nobody aboard. A nearby tricorder signal leads you to a set of personal logs from the station’s first officer. They describe the USS Trankasa coming back from a research assignment with something aboard, and the crew being overrun soon after. The last log is calm in a way the earlier ones are not, and then a ship locks weapons on you. It belongs to Commander Travis, the officer who recorded the logs, and destroying it ends the mission, with a warning that this madness is spreading across the Frontier.

Tips
Arrive ready for a hard fight. The mystery assailant is listed at about 4.03 billion strength, a step above the roughly 2.6 billion fights in many level 62 faction missions, and it is the only combat in the mission.
The first four objectives are exploration in the same system. Because nothing attacks you before the last step, you can reach Keylali with a full-health ship and keep it that way until the assailant appears.
Die Latinum is the standout reward. The Raw Σ-Parsteel is covered on the Parsteel page.
Like other Föderation missions at this level, it costs you more Klingon standing than it gives in Federation standing. The Fraktionsruf guide explains the numbers, and other missions by level are on the mission guide.
