You pick it up in <a href=\"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/yridia-7-neutral\/\">Yridia<\/a>, warp 5 covers both the start and the finish, and the only objective is to mine 100 Tritanium.

You are running a mining operation in the contested Yridian mining zones as cover, so that nobody notices a narcotics drop-off happening nearby. In practice that means one mining job: 100 Tritanium and you are done. There is no fight and no travel step beyond the pickup.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_and_what_warp\"><\/span>Wo und welcher Warp<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You accept Plausible Cover in Yridia. Warp 5 is listed both to start and to complete, so a ship that can reach Yridia has all the range the mission needs. The mining objective does not name a system, so the 100 Tritanium can come from wherever you normally mine it. The recommended level is 8.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Plausible_Cover_rewards\"><\/span>Plausible Cover rewards<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Belohnung<\/th>\n<th>Amount<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Helvia shards<\/td>\n<td>2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Encryption Key<\/td>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Parsteel<\/td>\n<td>2,400<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The mission does not unlock a follow-up part.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tips\"><\/span>Tips<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Use a mining ship, or whatever ship you normally mine with. The only task is to mine 100 Tritanium, which is a small amount, so it will not tie up the ship for long.<\/p>\n<p>Mine close to Yridia if you can. The mission starts there, and the mining objective has no fixed location, so keeping the trip short is the easiest way to save time.<\/p>\n<p>The Helvia shards are the reason to run it. Two shards for 100 Tritanium is a low price, and the Encryption Key comes with them. The 2,400 Parsteel is a small extra on top.<\/p>\n<p>Since there is no combat at all, your ship&#8217;s strength does not matter here. What matters is reaching Yridia at warp 5 and mining 100 Tritanium.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_early_missions_that_pay_officer_shards\"><\/span>Other early missions that pay officer shards<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Plausible Cover sits alongside a few other low-level <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/missionsleitfaden\/\"   title=\"Star Trek Fleet Command Dienstreisen\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"11026\">Missionen<\/a> that pay officer shards for light work:<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Mission<\/th>\n<th>Recommended level<\/th>\n<th>Warp to complete<\/th>\n<th>Shard reward<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Plausible Abdeckung<\/td>\n<td>8<\/td>\n<td>5<\/td>\n<td>2 Helvia shards<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/rohdiamanten\/\">Ungeschliffene Diamanten<\/a><\/td>\n<td>10<\/td>\n<td>5<\/td>\n<td>1 <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/lucia-gonzales\/\"   title=\"Beamtin Lucia Gonzales\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"11025\">Lucia Gonzales<\/a> shard<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/die-rache-der-antike\/\">Revenge of the Ancients<\/a><\/td>\n<td>6<\/td>\n<td>5<\/td>\n<td>1 <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/grace-chen\/\"   title=\"Beamtin Grace Chen\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"11023\">Grace Chen<\/a> shard (one path only)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Plausible Cover is the only one of the three with no fight and no second system to visit.<\/p>\n<p>If you are in the Yridia area for other reasons, <a href=\"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/aus-dem-nahkastchen-plaudernd\/\">Die Reklametafel<\/a> also sends you there, to meet an information dealer and stop a thief.
