The Orion Syndicate is Star Trek Fleet Command’s criminal network, and in gameplay terms it is the odd one out among the factions. It has no reputation ladder, no faction locks and no standing you can lose. What it has instead is a personal progression track that runs alongside everything else you do.<\/p>\n
It unlocks at level 10, and once it does the Syndicate icon appears in the top left of your screen.<\/p>\n
In the game’s own telling, the Orion Syndicate is the broker sitting between Independents and passing traders at the centre of Independent space. Their organised crime operation is treated as something Starfleet cannot control, which has let the Orions become the dominant power in the neutral<\/a> pockets between the three galactic superpowers. Their neighbouring rivals, the Nausicaans and Rigelians, are not pleased about it.<\/p>\n That position explains where you meet them. Orion ships turn up in neutral space rather than inside Federation, Klingon or Romulan territory, and they answer to nobody you can negotiate with.<\/p>\n Federation, Klingon and Romulan reputation moves up and down depending on who you shoot, and dropping too low gets your ships attacked in their space. None of that applies here.<\/p>\n Syndicate progress belongs to your account rather than to a diplomatic relationship. You bank Syndicate XP, your Syndicate level climbs, and the benefits stay with you regardless of which alliance you fly with or which factions you have angered. Nothing you do can take a Syndicate level back.<\/p>\n That makes it closer to a research tree than to the Fraktionsruf<\/a> system, even though the game files it under factions.<\/p>\n Four things, and they compound the longer you play:<\/p>\n The faction reputation multiplier is worth calling out on its own. If you are grinding toward one of the five faction locks, Syndicate level makes every one of those kills count for more.<\/p>\n The Syndicate runs 65 levels, each handing out its own rewards, and the Emerald Chain sits inside that same track.<\/p>\n Rather than repeat it here, the full level-by-level breakdown lives on the Syndicate and Emerald Chain<\/a> page: what every level gives, the total XP to reach 65, where the Emerald Chain fits, and whether pushing your level higher is actually worth the effort.<\/p>\n The Syndicate’s ships show up as hostiles across neutral space, and they are ordinary grinding targets rather than anything Syndicate-specific. Killing them does not affect your Syndicate level.<\/p>\n You will find them around Orion<\/a>, a level 12 neutral system.<\/p>\n Die Orion Corvette<\/a> is the Syndicate battleship, and the mission The Orion Corvette<\/a> is where its story starts.<\/p>\n Three pieces of Syndicate technology also appear in the Forbidden and Chaos Tech<\/a> lines:<\/p>\n Yes, and there is no real argument against it, because there is no downside. The Syndicate costs you nothing in standing with anyone else, cannot be lost, and its multipliers apply to activity you are doing anyway.<\/p>\n The honest caveat is pace. Syndicate levels come slowly, and the early ones give little on their own. Treat it as something that accumulates in the background rather than a track you grind directly, and check the level table before spending anything to accelerate it.<\/p>\n Die factions<\/a> page indexes every faction in the game and which of them have stores and reputation you can build.<\/p>\n For the factions where standing actually moves, see F\u00f6deration<\/a>, Klingonisch<\/a> und Romulanisch<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Orion Syndicate in Star Trek Fleet Command: how it unlocks at level 10, what affiliating gives you, and every Orion hostile, ship and officer.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14164,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[201],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14162","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-faction"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14162","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14162"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14162\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":33142,"href":"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14162\/revisions\/33142"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14164"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14162"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14162"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14162"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/span>Why the Syndicate is not a normal faction<\/span><\/h2>\n
