Part 1 cannot even be picked up until your ship reaches warp 3,000, and both parts need that range to finish. If you are short, the chain waits until you upgrade.<\/p>\n<p>The two fights sit close in strength, about 18.6 trillion in Part 1 and 19.2 trillion in Part 2. Both come early in their parts, so repair after the Forsaken ship before you head home and bring a full-health ship to your Station for Part 2.<\/p>\n<p>Every path in Part 2 pays Romulan Points and costs Federation and Klingon standing. If you are protecting a Federation or Klingon reputation tier, check it on the <a href=\"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/fraktionsruf\/\">Fraktionsruf<\/a> page before you commit. Destroying the research is the shortest path because it skips the extra trip to Draxolei or Leba&#8217;Rha.<\/p>\n<p>The story picks up after the <a href=\"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/oil-and-water-part-1\/\">Oil and Water<\/a> chain, which introduces Potuhk and Charlie, and it sits alongside other Margins chains such as <a href=\"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/margins-part-1\/\">Margins<\/a> und <a href=\"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/fracture-part-1\/\">Fracture<\/a>, which is also recommended for level 74.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_the_Lifes_Work_rewards_worth_it\"><\/span>Are the Life&#8217;s Work rewards worth it?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For a Romulan-aligned player, yes. The two parts together pay 39,000,000,000 Romulan Points, 2,500 or more \u03a3-Romulan Credits, a large block of 7\u2605 Raw Gas and 40,000 \u03a3-Dilithium, one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/sigma-resources\/\">\u03a3-resources<\/a>. The cost is two fights near 19 trillion strength and warp 3,000 travel. Players building Federation or Klingon standing should weigh the reputation losses first.
