<\/span>Stonn at a glance<\/span><\/h2>\n

Stonn is a Rare, Engineering officer in Star Trek Fleet Command who sits in the Surveyors and Miners group. He has two jobs on a crew: as captain he speeds up Erze<\/a> mining, and from the bridge he expands cargo capacity. That combination puts him on a long list of low-key but useful Offiziere<\/a> for players who care about resources.<\/p>\n

He is one of the cheaper Seltene<\/a> mining picks in the game, which makes him easy to recommend for newer commanders building a mining crew without a huge shard investment. He also slots into a few specific event grinds and protected-cargo workflows later on, so most accounts keep him around at some rank.<\/p>\n

This page covers what Stonn does in the game, where he came from in canon, and how to use him on a ship.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Star Trek background<\/span><\/h2>\n

Stonn is a Vulcan introduced in the original series episode “Amok Time,” which first aired in September 1967. Theodore Sturgeon wrote the script and Joseph Pevney directed. The episode opens the second season and introduces a lot of what fans now treat as standard Vulcan culture: pon<\/a> farr, the koon-ut-kal-if-fee ritual, and the lirpa.<\/p>\n

In the story, Spock has been bonded to T'Pring<\/a> since childhood. When his pon farr drives him back to Vulcan for the ceremony, T’Pring uses her right to claim kal-if-fee and forces a duel, naming Captain Kirk<\/a> as the challenger. She would rather pair with Stonn, the Vulcan standing quietly beside her. Stonn does not fight. He waits. After Spock<\/a> survives the ritual and steps aside, T’Pring and Stonn pair off. Spock’s closing line to Stonn is the famous one: “having is not so pleasing a thing after all as wanting.”<\/p>\n

The original script described Stonn as “a tall muscular Vulcan with a handsome and non-horrifying face” and pinned the pronunciation as “Stahn.” He has little dialogue in the episode and never appears on screen again. Star Trek Fleet Befehl<\/a> fills in the canon gap with its own flavor text: Stonn is a Vulcan geologist and surveyor. That is why the game slots him onto the mining crew rather than into a Wissenschaft<\/a> or command role.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Stonn’s role in STFC<\/span><\/h2>\n

Stonn lives in the economy half of the officer pool. He is not built for combat, hostile farming, or station defense. The game classifies him as Engineering class, Rare rarity, Neutral faction, and groups him with the rest of the Surveyors and Miners (T’Pring, Pan<\/a>, Ten of Eleven, Mae Darwin, and the other mining-focused officers).<\/p>\n

His captain seat is a mining-rate boost, and his bridge seat is a cargo-size boost. Both are passive bonuses; you do not have to activate anything. He stays on the ship and the bonuses apply for as long as the crew is set, which makes him a fit-and-forget addition to mining ships you assign to nodes for hours at a time.<\/p>\n

For the tier-list question: Stonn is not the headline mining officer today, and he was not the top of the meta back in 2019 either. Ceiling crews lean on newer officers from Surveyors and Miners and other groups. What Stonn offers is reliability and accessibility at a Rare-officer cost.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Stonn’s abilities<\/span><\/h2>\n

Captain ability: Ore Miner<\/h3>\n

Ore Miner increases the ship’s Ore mining rate when Stonn is in the captain seat. The value is +40% at rank 1, current as of the latest game Daten<\/a>. The bonus applies only when the ship is mining an Ore node, not Gas<\/a>, Crystal, or Tritanium.<\/p>\n

The per-rank progression on this ability is not published consistently across reliable sources, so this guide does not include a per-rank table for the captain bonus. In practice, treat the captain ability as a mining-rate boost on Ore nodes and check the in-game officer card after promotions if you want the exact rank-by-rank number.<\/p>\n

Officer ability: Pack Rat<\/h3>\n

Pack Rat increases the ship’s cargo size when Stonn is on the bridge in either of the two officer seats. The bonus scales with promotion in clean steps. Numbers below are current as of the latest game data.<\/p>\n

Cargo size by rank:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Rang<\/th>\nCargo size bonus<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
1<\/td>\n+20%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2<\/td>\n+25%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
3<\/td>\n+30%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
4<\/td>\n+35%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
5<\/td>\n+40%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Pack Rat applies to total cargo capacity, not protected cargo. If you want protected-cargo bonuses for things like the Ferengi events, that is a different officer slot.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Where Stonn shines<\/span><\/h2>\n

Three situations cover most of his use.<\/p>\n

Early-game Ore mining.<\/strong> New commanders who want a cheap Rare Ore captain can pair Stonn with synergy officers on a mining ship like the Mayflower or a Horizon and pick up a meaningful boost over uncommon-only crews. The shard cost to reach a useful rank is low compared with most Rare officers.<\/p>\n

Cargo padding on long mining runs.<\/strong> Pack Rat lets a ship hold more material before it has to return to station. That cuts the number of trips on Ore runs and on any long mining session where the cargo limit, not the mining rate, is what ends the trip. He works on the bridge of mining-focused ships regardless of which captain you pick.<\/p>\n

Background filler for crews that need an Technik<\/a> body.<\/strong> Some crew compositions need an Engineering officer to round out a class makeup without spending one of your top seats. Stonn fills that role cheaply.<\/p>\n

<\/span>How to get Stonn<\/span><\/h2>\n

Stonn’s shards have been available through a mix of in-game systems over the years: Premium, Standard, and Ultra Officer Chests; mission-chain rewards; and faction or event store rotations. Older guides linked him to the Precious Materials mission line, and his shards have shown up in milestone rewards from time to time.<\/p>\n

None of that is a guaranteed current source. Officer-acquisition paths shift with patches and event cycles, so check the current store and event rotations in your build of the game. If a daily or weekly event is offering Stonn shards in any meaningful quantity, that is the cheapest path to rank him up. Otherwise, chest pulls accumulate him slowly over time without a targeted grind.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Crew synergies<\/span><\/h2>\n

Stonn is Engineering class with a synergy profile of 30% Command, 20% Engineering, and 30% Science. The 20% Engineering value is the lowest of the three, which is unusual: he gives back more when paired with Command or Science bridge officers than with another Engineering officer.
