Location: Sh&#8217;Pord.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Admiral Johnson explains that the Ethereals keep disrupting Starfleet&#8217;s exploration of the region, and nothing has helped: better shields, more crew, attempts to talk. He has asked the Vulcan High <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/tag\/command-class-officers\/\"   title=\"Offiziere der Kommandoklasse\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"22693\">Befehl<\/a> for help, and they have pointed him to T&#8217;Meila. You find her in the middle of a conversation with the Breen about the grammar of their dialect, which the Breen take for a trap, so you beam her out under fire.<\/p>\n<p>At Sh&#8217;Pord she finds Starfleet&#8217;s array far too weak and asks for 7M Dilithium to be injected so it can fire in a single burst. The Ethereals answer with two words, fade and cease. T&#8217;Meila works out that Starfleet&#8217;s warp bubbles are hurting them, which explains why incidents rise with heavy traffic between systems. The creature asks you to follow, and the mission ends with T&#8217;Meila agreeing to do so.<\/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>The mission is picked up in Sh&#8217;Pord at warp 1,200 and needs warp 1,200 to complete. The pickup of T&#8217;Meila is in Vemmi, a low-level system, and everything after that happens back in Sh&#8217;Pord. The recommended level is 64.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"First_Line_of_Communication_rewards\"><\/span>First Line of Communication 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>\u03a3-Tritanium<\/td>\n<td>6,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Raw \u03a3-Parsteel<\/td>\n<td>555,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Federation Credits<\/td>\n<td>3,700<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Federation Points<\/td>\n<td>138,000,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Klingon Points<\/td>\n<td>-317,952,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/star-trek-fleet-command.1337wiki.com\/de\/romulanisch\/\"   title=\"Romulanische Fraktion\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"22692\">Romulanisch<\/a> Punkte<\/td>\n<td>-70,656,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Completing the mission unlocks Circle of Trust.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Ethereal_missions_compared\"><\/span>The Ethereal missions compared<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Five level 64 Federation missions deal with the Ethereals, picked up in Holst or Sh&#8217;Pord.
